Built for the trades that bid multifamily and commercial exteriors

  • Commercial painting
  • Stucco and EIFS
  • Waterproofing
  • Roofing
  • Wood rot repair
  • Sealants
  • Restoration

From the show floor to the signed job, in one record.

Each step hands the history to the next. The lead you met at the expo is the same record that becomes the quote, and the same one your crew builds.

  1. Step 1: Lists

    Import the expo or association list. Review each property and convert the good ones.

  2. Step 2: Leads

    Every lead carries a follow-up date and a next step. Overdue ones float to the top.

  3. Step 3: Opportunities

    Takeoff, quote, send. See every proposal version and every time it was opened.

  4. Step 4: Jobs

    Won work becomes a job with its budget, schedule and the spend tracked against both.

Lists

Turn the expo list into leads, one property at a time.

Drop in the attendee list. Renobase matches each property to one you already know, finds the rest on the map, and flags the addresses worth a second look.

Ask Renobase

Say what happened. Renobase does the paperwork.

Type it like a text from the truck. It finds the lead, logs the call, moves the follow-up, and starts the new lead. Nothing changes until you confirm.

Just talked to Dana at Harbor View. She wants a walk-through after Oct 15, budget is approved.

I'll log it on the Harbor View Flats lead and move its follow-up to the 16th. Check it:

  • Answers from your records

    What is overdue, what is open from the show, who opened what. Every answer links to the records it used.

  • Proposes, you confirm

    Each change shows up as a card you can edit. It lands on the record's activity like anything else.

  • Drafts the follow-up

    Ask for the email to the property manager and it writes it with the right names and numbers.

After the signature

Watch the margin while the scaffolding is still up.

Budget burn against the schedule

A marker shows where the schedule says you should be. Spend running ahead of it turns amber before it turns into a loss.

Questions contractors ask first

Can I bring my spreadsheets and expo lists?

Yes. Import a CSV or a spreadsheet. Renobase matches properties and people you already have, so nothing is entered twice.

Will Ask Renobase change records on its own?

No. It proposes each change as a card. Nothing is saved until you confirm, and every change shows up on the record's activity.

Does it work for estimators and project managers too?

Yes. Takeoffs, quotes and jobs sit on the same record, so sales, estimating and the field see one history. Follow-ups are assigned to a person.

What does it cost?

One flat monthly subscription per company, with Ask Renobase included. It is not priced per seat, so estimators, project managers and the office can all use it. Book a walkthrough and we will set you up.

Put this season's bids in one place.
