Welding & Fabrication

Half the job is in the shop and half is on someone else's schedule.

You cut and weld on your own clock, then you are on a site waiting for a slab to cure or a GC to clear the area. Railing, stairs, gates, structural steel, a one-off repair — each one prices differently and each one bills differently.

Jobkore runs from the phone in your shop or your truck. Quote from the bench, invoice from the site, collect before you load the trailer.

Steel, shop hours, and field install are three different numbers.

Material moves with the market. Shop time is your rate. Field install depends on access, height, and how long you wait on the GC. Roll them into one price and a steel increase quietly comes out of your pocket.

Build the estimate in sections — material, shop fabrication, finish or coating, delivery, field install — so the client sees what they are buying and you can reprice one section without redoing the quote.

Field measure beats the drawing. Every time.

The architectural drawing says the opening is 36 inches. You measure and it is 35 and a quarter, out of plumb, on a slab that slopes. Fabricating to the drawing means cutting twice. Measure the opening, and when it does not match the drawing, write a change order before the steel is cut — not after.

Deposit before the steel order. Balance when it is set.

You buy material before you see a dollar, and a fabricated railing has no resale value if the client walks. Bill a deposit against the accepted estimate to cover steel, then invoice the balance when the last piece is anchored. Every invoice pulls from the same estimate, so the deposit is credited and the remaining balance is calculated for you.

Hank AI™ turns the field measure into a structured quote.

You measured the openings, noted the material and gauge, photographed the mounting conditions, and wrote down what the client wanted. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and the quote comes back in sections — material, fabrication, finish, delivery, install. Your pricing goes on top.

Hank never invents quantities, rates, or margins. It organizes what you measured.

Paid by card. No platform fee from us.

The invoice goes out with a payment link. The GC or homeowner pays by card or bank transfer. Stripe processes at their standard rate. Jobkore adds nothing on top.
