Every trade has
its jobs that slip.
Roofing, masonry, drywall, plumbing, electrical, general contracting: the common thread is margin leaking away without warning. Here's what Tavro changes, trade by trade.
Roofers & framers
The situation. Short, frequent jobs, weather delays, temp labor: hours slip fast without anyone noticing.
What Tavro does. Compares sold vs. logged hours job by job; the drift shows up the same day, not on the year-end books.
→ The small jobs eating your margin, spotted
Masons & structural
The situation. Large quotes, change orders, subcontracting: real margin is hard to track mid-job.
What Tavro does. Tracks the hours budget, expenses and progress continuously; the change order gets decided before it's too late.
→ The renegotiation triggered at the right time
Drywall & plaster
The situation. Labor-heavy, thin margins: a poorly assigned crew gets expensive, fast.
What Tavro does. Clear scheduling by crew and by job, mobile time logging, hours that feed payroll with no re-keying.
→ Crews in the right place, hours accurate
Plumbing & HVAC
The situation. Service calls and projects mixed together, expenses and purchases everywhere: hard to know what pays.
What Tavro does. Every hour and every receipt lands on the right job; you finally see the real result per job.
→ The real result per job, made visible
Electricians
The situation. Phased jobs, tight schedules, several sites the same day for one crew.
What Tavro does. A week view showing who's where, simple logging on the phone, sorted progress photos.
→ Multi-site work handled without a spreadsheet
General contractors
The situation. Multiple trades, subcontractors, high volume: without a tool, margin is discovered at the end of the job.
What Tavro does. A single dashboard: margin, hours, expenses, scheduling, photos — for every active job.
→ The whole operation steered, on one screen
Your job, before and after
Without Tavro
- A job's margin is discovered at invoicing, sometimes on the year-end books
- Paper timesheets, texts, spreadsheets: the info is scattered
- No way to know mid-job which job is slipping
- Payroll is prepared by hand, every month-end
With Tavro
- Margin drift shows up during the job — you act in time
- Quotes, hours, scheduling, expenses and photos in a single app
- The jobs that are slipping rise to the top every day
- Payroll variables export ready, with no re-keying
A single job spotted too late can cost more than a year of subscription.
Example: $40,000 job · 3 points of margin lost = $1200 · that's 8 months of Tavro
Frequently asked questions
What size of company is Tavro for?
For construction companies of 5 to 15 employees, in any trade. Enough crews for margin to be a real issue, but too small for a bloated ERP.
Will my field crews actually log their time?
Time logging is three taps on the phone: their hours, a photo, an expense. Nothing else to learn. It's built specifically so it doesn't put the field off.
Does it replace my accountant or my quoting software?
No: Tavro steers margin and the field. Payroll variables export ready FOR your accountant, and your quotes become tracked jobs. It's complementary, not a replacement.
Is my data properly isolated from other companies?
Yes. Each company sees only its own data, and that isolation is tested automatically on every update. You can also export everything to CSV at any time.
