Plumbing

6 AM emergency. 10 AM bid walk. 2 PM drain job. The software should keep up.

Tuesday you were under a crawl space chasing a slab leak with a flashlight. Wednesday you were bidding a whole-house repipe. Thursday is a water heater swap and two fixture installs. Every stop is a different client, a different scope, a different billing rhythm — and none of them happen at a desk.

Jobkore runs from the phone you already have in your pocket. Write the bid from the truck. Send an invoice before you back out of the driveway. Collect before the next service call. No project management theater, no modules you will never open.

A repipe is five scopes stacked on each other.

Rough-in, fixtures, drain work, a water heater swap, and the patch-and-paint you are subbing out. Treating that as one price confuses the client and leaves you no room to explain if something runs over. Build the estimate in sections with materials and labor under each, and the homeowner sees exactly where the money goes.

For bathroom remodels and commercial tenant work, sections double as your scope-of-work later. When a question comes up six weeks in, you both read the same document.

Deposit, rough-in, final — without spreadsheets.

Plumbing almost never gets paid in one shot. A deposit funds the fixtures, rough-in bills after the inspector signs off, and the final lands after the pressure test. Jobkore pulls each invoice from the same estimate, so the math stays clean. You always know what has been billed and what is still open, and the client sees the same numbers you do.

Change orders for what the drywall is hiding.

You cut into a wall expecting PEX and find galvanized. Or the homeowner decides halfway through that the utility sink should move six feet. Write it up as a change order tied to the original bid — scope, price, signature, invoice. When the final walk-through happens there is no argument about what was agreed to, because the signature is on the page.

Hank AI™ lays out the estimate in seconds.

You crawled under the house, photographed the existing pipe run for your own reference, counted fixtures, and jotted notes on your phone about access points and the water heater age. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and in a few seconds the estimate is laid out in sections — rough-in, fixtures, drain, water heater. You add your pricing. The paperwork is done before you fold up the ladder.

Hank never invents quantities, rates, or margins. It organizes what you observed so you are not rebuilding the bid from memory.

Paid by card. No fees from us.

The invoice goes out with a payment link. Credit card or bank transfer. The client pays on their phone, the money lands in your account, and you are not driving across town on Saturday to pick up a check. Stripe handles processing at their standard rate. Jobkore takes nothing on top.
