What does kitchen remodel software do for a Portland shop?

Kitchen remodel software runs estimating, sub-coordination, permit tracking, and milestone payments for a typical 12 to 16 week kitchen remodel. For a Portland shop, that means cabinet allowances, counter material, appliance SKUs, plumbing and electrical sub-scopes, and a permit reference for the City of Portland Bureau of Development Services all live in one workspace. ContractShield ships a Portland kitchen remodel template.

How does the cabinet and counter catalog work?

The cabinet catalog covers semi-custom and custom from Portland-area suppliers including Neil Kelly Cabinets, ProSource, and IKEA stock kits. The counter catalog covers quartz, granite, butcher block, and laminate from local fabricators. For a mid-range Portland kitchen remodel running $58,000 to $84,000, cabinet allowance and counter material drive 35 to 45% of total cost.

How does sub-coordination handle plumbing and electrical?

Each sub gets a scope-locked sub-quote line tied to a project milestone. Plumbing rough scope at $4,200 stays $4,200 unless a change order moves it. Electrical rough scope at $3,800 stays $3,800. Subs see their scope on a shared link with no separate login. Portland kitchen remodels usually run 3 to 5 subs.

Why Portland kitchen remodelers leave per-seat platforms

Legacy GC software charges $99 to $349 per seat per month. A 4-person Portland remodel shop spends $4,800 to $16,800 per year before the first lead. ContractShield is 1% per accepted job. A $72,000 kitchen remodel carries $720 in platform fees, paid across the milestone schedule, only as funds clear.

Does the workspace track inspections and final closeout?

Yes. Rough-in inspections, mechanical inspections, and final inspections all schedule from the milestone dates. Inspector pass/fail attaches to the project. Closeout package exports for the homeowner with photos, line items, and warranty terms.

Frequently asked questions
