Then it does not matter who takes the job. The estimate comes out of the same price book, and your margin stops depending on who ran the tape. Just need a slab count? Try the free slab calculator. Try It Free See a Live Demo #### Estimating Is Not Quoting The quote is the paper the customer signs. The estimate is the math underneath it — how many square feet after yield, how many linear feet of ogee, how many cutouts, how many hours on the saw and in the truck. Get the estimate wrong and a pretty quote just makes you lose money faster. Stone Project builds the estimate first, then prints the quote from it. #### Where Margin Leaks in a Hand-Built Estimate ##### Last year's material cost The spreadsheet on the sales desk is three price increases behind. You find out at the invoice. ##### Edges counted by eye Nobody bills the return on the island or the exposed run behind the range. Thirty linear feet a month adds up. ##### Cutouts thrown in Farmhouse sink, cooktop, four faucet holes — quoted as one word: "cutouts." ##### Labor inside the sqft price When fab and install hide in the material rate, you cannot tell a bad job from a bad price. ##### Discounts with no trail Someone shaved ten percent to close it. Six weeks later nobody remembers who, or why. ##### Two estimators, two numbers The same kitchen prices $900 apart depending on who walked it. The customer notices. #### What Your Price Book Holds Every line below is a rate you set once. The estimate reads them, does the arithmetic, and shows the total as you draw. ##### Material by tier Group colors into Level 1 through Level 6, or price a single color on its own. Granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, porcelain. ##### Edges per linear foot Eased, bullnose, ogee, waterfall. Mitered edges, appliance edges and corner curves get their own rates, because they take their own time. ##### Cutouts per hole Undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, cooktop, faucet, outlet. Each one a line, each one a price. ##### Splash 4-inch, full height, and the demo that comes with it. Priced as its own item instead of rounded into the top. ##### Fabrication and install Separate rates for shop time and truck time. Tear-out, plumbing disconnect and stairs are their own lines. ##### Everything else Templating trips, seam charges, delivery, sealer, minimum job charge. Add your own items with your own units. #### Control That Survives a Busy Week 01 ##### Raise a price, choose where it lands Your supplier bumps quartz. Change it once and pick which price lists take the increase — retail today, builder at the end of the contract. 02 ##### Overrides stay on the job, not in the price book A builder gets a break on install. Override the line on that estimate. The price book keeps its number and the override is visible on the item. 03 ##### Every price change keeps its history Price lists keep revisions. When a customer asks why the number moved since spring, you can show them instead of guessing. 04 ##### The number follows the job Approved estimate becomes the quote, the work order and the invoice. Nobody retypes a total into a second system, so nobody mistypes it. #### FAQ How is this different from quoting software? Estimating gets you the number. Quoting presents it. You get both here — see the quoting side for what the customer receives. Can two estimators land on the same number? Yes. One price book for the shop. Differences come from what they measured, not from what they charged. Can I run separate pricing for builders? Yes — keep as many price lists as you need and assign one per client or per job. Do I have to retype my spreadsheet? No. Import materials, colors, edges, cutouts and labor by CSV, then adjust in the app. What does it cost? $149/month, or $129/month billed annually. 14-day trial, and a free plan that holds up to 20 pieces if you want to start smaller.

One app instead of a whiteboard, three spreadsheets and a text thread. Built with granite and quartz shops, not adapted from construction software. Try It Free See a Live Demo #### A Granite Job, Start to Finish Homeowner calls Tuesday. You measure Thursday, quote from the driveway, they approve on their phone Friday and pay the deposit. Monday you pull the slab that was already tagged for the job, template gets scheduled, the crew clocks in at the house, install photos land on the job, the invoice goes out and QuickBooks already knows about it. Same app the whole way. #### What Runs the Shop ##### Drawing and quoting Sketch the kitchen on a tablet in the driveway. Edges, cutouts and splash price themselves as you draw. ##### Customers and pipeline Every lead, builder and designer in one list, with the stage each job sits in and who owns it. ##### Slabs and remnants What is in the yard, which rack it sits on, and which job already claimed it. ##### Template and install A calendar per department, crews assigned by name, and the customer notified when the date moves. ##### Crew time clock Clock in from the phone with a photo and GPS. Hours land on the job, not on a paper sheet in the truck. ##### Purchasing Requisition, purchase order, vendor bill. Received slabs enter inventory instead of leaning against a wall unrecorded. ##### Invoicing and payments Deposits, progress billing, card and ACH. The customer pays from the same link that showed them the quote. ##### QuickBooks Two-way sync on customers, estimates, invoices and payments. Your bookkeeper keeps their workflow. ##### Shop website A site with your colors, your slabs and a quote form that drops leads straight into the pipeline. #### Written for the Shop Floor Generic job software makes you translate. This one uses the words you already use. ##### Slabs, not "units" A slab has a bundle, a lot, a thickness, a finish and a rack. It is not a line item with a quantity of one. ##### Template, not "site visit" Template, fabrication and install are separate stages with separate calendars, because they are separate days and separate people. ##### Seams and edges are pricing Where the seam falls and how many linear feet of ogee run the island are numbers on the estimate, not notes in a comment box. ##### Offcuts have value What is left after the cut becomes a remnant with dimensions and a photo — sellable, not scrap in the corner. #### FAQ Granite only, or quartz too? Granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, porcelain, solid surface. Each material carries its own pricing and its own inventory. Is my shop too small for this? Two-person shops run on it. Start with quoting and the calendar, add the yard and purchasing when you need them. What do the crews use? Their phones. Browser or native app on iOS and Android, plus Mac and Windows in the office. Can I control who sees pricing? Yes. Roles decide who quotes, who sees cost, who edits the price book and who only sees their own schedule. What does it cost? $149/month, or $129/month billed annually. 14-day trial. There is also a free plan with up to 20 pieces if you want to test with your own inventory first.

Answer all three from your phone — rack location, thickness, finish, cost, and the job that reserved it. Stop ordering slabs you already own. Try It Free See a Live Demo #### What an Untracked Yard Costs None of this shows up on a P&L line called "yard." It shows up as margin you never had. ##### Buying stone you own Two slabs of the same color come in because nobody could confirm the ones behind rack 7. ##### Selling it twice Two salespeople promise the same slab in the same week. One customer gets a phone call nobody wants to make. ##### Twenty minutes per lookup A designer asks what is in stock and someone walks the yard with a phone camera to find out. ##### Cash asleep on a rack Slabs that have not moved in two years are still money. Nobody knows which ones they are. ##### Cost that got lost You quote from a price sheet instead of from what that specific bundle actually cost you. ##### The one guy who knows The yard lives in one person's head. When he takes vacation, so does your inventory. #### How the Yard Gets Under Control 01 ##### Photograph the yard, one rack at a time Snap each slab and the app suggests material, color and finish from the photo. Confirm, add thickness and dimensions, move to the next. A rack takes minutes, and you do not have to shut down for a weekend to start. 02 ##### Draw the yard once Lay out zones and racks in the floor plan editor and place each slab where it physically stands. The lookup answer becomes "row B, rack 12" instead of "somewhere out back." 03 ##### Label it and scan it Design your own label — QR code, color name, dimensions, thickness, whatever your crew reads — print it and stick it on the slab. Anyone scans it with a phone and gets the piece: status, cost, location, the job it belongs to. 04 ##### Reserve it to the job When a quote is approved, hold the slab for that project. It leaves the available list immediately, so the next salesperson sees it is committed before they promise it. 05 ##### Receive new stone through the PO Purchase order goes to the supplier, the truck arrives, you mark it received. The slabs enter inventory with their cost, so the yard stays current without a second data entry step. 06 ##### Record what is left after the cut The offcut becomes a remnant with its own dimensions and photo instead of leaning in a corner for a year. That side of the yard has its own page — remnant inventory and the marketplace. #### What Each Slab Carries ##### Identity Material, color, brand, thickness, finish, dimensions, photo. ##### Location Facility, zone, rack. Transfer it between yards and the record follows. ##### Status Available, held for a job, sold. Changed from the phone at the rack. ##### Money What it cost, which purchase order brought it in, which supplier sold it. #### FAQ Slabs or remnants? Both, same inventory. Full slabs carry cost and a purchase order; remnants carry dimensions and can be listed for sale. Can I see which rack a slab is on? Yes — build zones and racks in the floor plan and place pieces on them. Can a slab be held for a job? Yes. Reserve it to the project and it stops appearing as available. What kind of labels? Your own design, with a QR code and whatever fields your crew needs. Print from the app. More than one yard? Each facility keeps its own inventory and floor plan, with transfers between them. What does it cost? $149/month, or $129/month billed annually. 14-day trial, plus a free plan with up to 20 pieces so you can catalog a rack before deciding. #### Catalog One Rack Today Free plan.

The Daily Reality #### Stone Shops Lose Deals Every Week Because Quotes Slip Through the Cracks We built Stone Project by listening to fabricators. These are the pains we heard over and over. ##### Slow Quotes Clients wait days while you juggle spreadsheets. By the time you send it, they've already signed with the competitor. ##### No Follow-Ups 70% of quotes get no follow-up. You're too busy running the shop to chase "warm" leads — and they go cold. ##### Chaos Between Stages Measure quote approve fabricate install. Every handoff lives in texts, paper, or someone's head. ##### Remnants Piling Up Thousands of dollars in leftover stone collecting dust in the yard, forgotten because there's no catalog — and no buyers. List and sell remnants: Remnants Piling Up ##### QuickBooks Double Entry Quote approved? Now retype every line into QuickBooks. Customer, invoice, payment. Hours per week — pure waste. Two-way QuickBooks sync: QuickBooks Double Entry ##### No Signal at the Jobsite Measurement in the basement? Rural install? Generic CRMs die offline. You end up back at the shop retyping photos and notes. How offline mode works: No Signal at the Jobsite ##### Scheduling Headaches Installers ask "where am I today?" by text every morning. Routes are written on paper. Jobs get missed, clients call angry. One calendar with routes: Scheduling Headaches ##### Clients Left in the Dark "When's my install?" "Did you get my approval?" They call, they text, they email — and you're the bottleneck. The client portal: Clients Left in the Dark ##### Pricing Guesswork Each quote pulled from memory. Margins vary wildly job-to-job. You know you're leaving money on the table — just don't know how much. Build a price book: Pricing Guesswork ##### Reviews Never Happen Every happy client is a 5-star Google review waiting. But nobody on your team has time to ask, every job, every day. Auto-request reviews: Reviews Never Happen Quote in 10 minutes: Slow Quotes Are Killing Your Win Rate "What if your CRM actually closed quotes for you?"

Mon 8:12am ##### A lead comes in A homeowner calls about a kitchen island. It lands on your dashboard with the quotes waiting, the invoices due and the jobs already in production — so you know what today looks like before you pick up the phone. Mon 11:40am ##### The quote goes out Material and labour priced by the square foot off your own price list, payment terms already filled in, PDF ready to send. No spreadsheet, no calling the office to check a number. Wed ##### Approved — it enters the shop The job moves from Quoted to Approved and keeps moving: template, layout, production, installation. Anyone on the team can see where every kitchen stands without asking. Thu ##### Template and install get scheduled Measure Thursday, install the following Tuesday, delivery in between. The crew sees their week, the client gets the confirmation, and nobody drives to an address twice. Installed ##### The invoice collects itself Deposit on approval, balance on installation, card on file. You can see at a glance what is paid, what is partial and what is overdue — and the client pays from a link, no login. Friday ##### The review asks itself The job closes and the review request goes out on its own.

Stone Project is the only all-in-one CRM, quoting, and business management platform built exclusively for the countertop industry. #### We built the platform we wished existed when we worked in stone fabrication #### Every fabricator we talked to had the same problem Walk into any stone fabrication shop in America and you'll see the same thing: a whiteboard with scribbled job names, a stack of paper quotes, a phone full of client texts with no organization, and a yard full of remnants that nobody can find when a customer calls. We saw it firsthand. We talked to dozens of fabricators — from one-person shops in Texas to 15-person operations in Florida. Every single one was running their business with a patchwork of disconnected tools: spreadsheets for quotes, a separate calendar for scheduling, sticky notes for follow-ups, QuickBooks for invoicing, and group texts for team communication. The result? Missed follow-ups that cost thousands in lost deals. Quotes that took 45 minutes instead of 5. Remnants worth $50,000+ collecting dust because nobody could search for them. And owners working 70-hour weeks just to keep up with the chaos. We knew there had to be a better way. #### So we built it Stone Project started with a simple idea: what if one app could replace every tool a stone fabricator uses to run their business? Not a generic CRM retrofitted for construction. Not a quoting tool that doesn't understand edge profiles. Not a scheduling app that can't optimize installation routes. A platform designed from day one for the specific workflows, terminology, and challenges of countertop fabrication. We spent years studying how fabrication shops actually operate — from the moment a lead calls to the final installation photo. We mapped every workflow: quoting, drawing, project management, invoicing, scheduling, team coordination, payment collection, and inventory management. Then we built a platform that handles all of it. In one app. On every device. Today, Stone Project is used by fabricators across the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, and beyond — managing millions of dollars in projects, quotes, and stone inventory. #### By the numbers 5 Platforms iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Web 4 Languages English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian 40+ Features in one integrated platform 99.9% Uptime cloud reliability #### Not another generic business tool ##### Built for stone, not adapted Every feature was designed for how fabricators actually work. Our drawing tool knows what a waterfall edge is. Our pricing engine calculates by square footage and edge profile. Our CRM tracks projects from measurement to installation. No workarounds. No "close enough." ##### All-in-one, not all-over-the-place Most shops juggle 5-7 separate apps. Stone Project replaces them all: marketplace, CRM, drawing, quoting, invoicing, payments, scheduling, route optimization, time tracking, analytics, and client portal. Everything connected. One login. One subscription. ##### Works where you work On a job site with no Wi-Fi? Offline mode. In the yard cataloging stone? AI camera scanning. At your desk reviewing the week? Analytics dashboard. On the road between installs? Route optimization. Stone Project works wherever your day takes you. #### Our mission To give every stone fabricator — from a one-person shop to a 50-person operation — the same professional tools that Fortune 500 companies take for granted. We believe that running a modern fabrication business shouldn't require an IT department. That your quotes should look as professional as your craftsmanship. That your remnant yard is a profit center, not a junkyard. And that technology should save you time, not create more work. Every feature we build starts with one question: "Will this help a fabricator close more deals, save more time, or make more money?" If the answer isn't a clear yes, we don't build it. #### Enterprise technology, fabricator simplicity Behind Stone Project's simple interface is serious technology: ##### AI-powered image recognition Snap a photo of a remnant and the system detects stone type, color, and dimensions automatically. ##### Augmented reality measurement Measure countertops with your phone camera using ARKit and ARCore. ##### QuickBooks two-way sync Customers, invoices, estimates, and payments sync automatically. ##### Cloud-based with offline support Your data syncs across all devices, and the app works even without internet. ##### Bank-level security Encrypted data, secure authentication, and role-based permissions for your entire team. ##### Real-time route optimization Plan your team's daily installations and deliveries with optimized driving routes. We invest heavily in technology so you don't have to think about it. It just works. #### Built for every role in the stone industry ##### Fabricators Shop owners and managers who need to manage inventory, quote jobs, schedule teams, invoice clients, and grow their business — all from one platform. ##### Professionals Interior designers, contractors, and builders who source affordable countertop materials and need reliable fabrication partners. ##### Homeowners People renovating their homes who want beautiful countertops at a fraction of the cost by purchasing surplus remnant material.

Join the Partner Program (sales reps, consultants, distributors). #### How it works Three simple steps — everything is automatic inside the app. 01 ##### Grab your link Log in to the app → Settings → Referrals. Your personal link is created automatically — no application needed. (External partners apply at Partners.) 02 ##### Share with fabricators Text it, email it, or drop it in a Facebook group. Anyone who signs up through your link is tied to you automatically. 03 ##### Both sides win They pay their first invoice → they get $10 credit. You get 10% of their subscription credited to your account, every month for 12 months. #### What you and your friend earn Credits are applied automatically to future invoices — no manual redemption needed. ##### Your friend gets $10 welcome credit Applied automatically after their first paid invoice. Works on any plan — Solo, Pro, Business, or Enterprise. Credit is non-transferable and applied to the next billing cycle. You earn ##### You earn 10% / month · up to 12 months For every month your referral keeps their subscription, you get 10% of what they pay as credit on your own account. Example Friend pays $49/mo on the Pro plan → you earn $4.90/mo → up to $58.80 over 12 months. #### Frequently asked questions Who can participate in the referral program? This page is for the in-app Refer-a-Friend program: Stone Project users (fabricators with a Stone Project account). Log in, open Settings → Referrals, and your personal link is created automatically the first time you visit that screen — no separate application for this program. That is not the same as our Partner Program. Independent sales reps, consultants, distributors, and other external partners can sign up on the Partners page without being Stone Project customers. Registration is instant and pays cash commission, not subscription credit. When does my friend receive the $10 credit? The $10 welcome credit is applied automatically after their first successful paid invoice. It appears as a credit on their next billing cycle with no action needed on their part. How and when do I receive my earnings? Your 10% commission is added as subscription credit each time your referral renews their plan. Credits are applied automatically to reduce your next invoice — you'll see the running balance inside the app under Settings → Referrals. Can I refer myself or a business I own? Self-referrals are not allowed. The program is designed to reward genuine introductions to other stone fabricators. Is there a limit to how many people I can refer? No limit — refer as many fabricators as you like. You earn 10% per referral, per month, for each active subscriber you bring in, up to 12 months per referral. Does my friend need to use my link when signing up? Yes — they need to register via your referral link (or enter your referral code during sign-up) for the link to be tracked. Existing accounts cannot be attributed retroactively. #### Ready to start earning? Log in to the app to grab your referral link. It takes 10 seconds. Get My Referral Link New here?

Commissions are calculated monthly and paid via bank transfer or PayPal. You'll see your earnings in real-time in your Partner Portal. Is this different from the in-app Refer-a-Friend program? Yes. Stone Project users who already have an account can share a link from Settings → Referrals and earn subscription credit — no form required.

This Partner Program is for external affiliates (sales reps, consultants, distributors, etc.): anyone can sign up below and start sharing immediately. You earn cash via bank transfer or PayPal. Do I need to be a Stone Project customer? No. You don't need to be an active subscriber to join the Partner Program. However, being a user of the product makes it easier to talk about it authentically. If you are already a Stone Project customer and only want subscription credit (not cash payouts), use the in-app Refer-a-Friend program instead. How do I access my Partner Portal? Right after you sign up, we email you a direct link to your private Partner Portal. You can also log in anytime at api.stoneproject.app/partners with the email you used to register — we'll send a one-time code. Is there a minimum payout threshold? Yes, the minimum payout is $50. Smaller amounts roll over to the next payment cycle automatically. Can I track my referrals? Absolutely. Your private Partner Portal shows real-time stats: referrals, active subscriptions, earnings this month, and total commission earned. ## Countertop Slab Calculator: How Many Slabs? · Stone Project URL: https://www.stoneproject.app/countertop-slab-calculator ### Countertop slab calculator Enter the pieces, the slab size and your waste allowance. Get the square feet and how many slabs to order. #### Pieces Length and width in inches. Count the backsplash, island and returns as separate pieces. + Add a piece #### Slab and waste Slab length (in) Slab width (in) Waste (%) Price per slab ($, optional) Standard slabs are often about 120 x 55 to 126 x 63 inches, jumbo about 130 x 65. Use the size your supplier quotes. Pieces 0 sq ft With waste 0 sq ft Slabs to order 0 This is a quick estimate that assumes the pieces pack perfectly. Defects, vein matching and piece shapes change the real count. #### Want the exact number, not an estimate? Draw the job in Stone Project, pick the stone and lay the pieces out on the real slabs. You get the slab count, the remnant left over and the quote for the customer from the same drawing. Start Free Trial See drawing and quoting #### Questions How many slabs do I need for a kitchen countertop? Add up the square feet of every piece, add a waste allowance (10 to 20 percent is typical, more with a strong vein or many small pieces), and divide by the area of one slab. This calculator does that and rounds up to whole slabs. How do I calculate countertop square footage? Multiply length by width in inches for each piece, divide by 144, and add the pieces together. Backsplash and islands count as separate pieces. Why is the real slab count sometimes higher than the estimate? The estimate assumes pieces pack perfectly. Real layouts lose area to slab defects, vein matching and piece shapes, so a layout on the actual slab is the only exact answer. What size is a countertop slab? It varies by material and supplier: standard slabs are often around 120 by 55 to 126 by 63 inches and jumbo slabs around 130 by 65 inches or larger. Enter the size your supplier quotes. ## Supply Store — Shop & Sell Fabrication Supplies · Stone Project URL: https://www.stoneproject.app/supply-store Supply Store ### Buy & sell fabrication supplies inside Stone Project Fabricators order adhesives, blades, tooling, and shop consumables without leaving their workflow.

They're following a 5-minute process at every install. #### Light Shoot during install, not after. Natural light through windows + your work lights = professional-looking results. Avoid 4pm shadows. #### Angle 1: the wide hero Stand in the doorway. Phone horizontal. The whole kitchen visible. This is your Instagram cover shot. #### Angle 2: the detail Macro on the edge profile, the seam, the veining. Phone vertical. This sells the craft. #### Angle 3: the human Your installer hands-on with the slab. Faces blurred or back-of-head. This sells trust. #### Caption template "[Material name] in [neighborhood]. [Edge profile]. Installed [today]. Tap to see more." Three sentences max. People scroll fast.

Most shops say yes to everyone, then disappoint half. Here's how to do better. #### The cutoff date Calculate your real lead time. If you typically need 4 weeks from sign to install, the cutoff is October 26. Past that, you say no. Honestly. #### How to say no "We can't promise Thanksgiving, but we can guarantee December 5th. If that works, let's start today." Half of customers will take that. The other half will be upset, but they would have been more upset by a missed promise. #### The waitlist Anyone who can't be done before Thanksgiving goes on a Christmas-delivery waitlist. You're not losing the job; you're managing the timeline. #### Crew communication Tell the team the cutoff date and the plan. Nothing burns morale like "surprise overtime" three weeks in a row. #### After Thanksgiving Block one full day to clean shop, do calibrations, and let the team breathe before the December rush.

Walk this checklist on every job. #### 1. PPE inventory Hard hats, safety glasses, cut gloves, steel toes — every truck. Replace anything cracked or torn this week. #### 2. Lifting equipment Inspect straps, slings, and clamps. Document the inspection. A failed strap injury is a six-figure event. #### 3. Vehicle condition Tire tread, brake fluid, headlights. Your team is driving in the dark again. #### 4. First aid kit Tourniquet, eye wash, burn gel. A stone-shop first aid kit is not an office first aid kit. #### 5. Site walk before unloading Slip hazards, low door frames, broken thresholds. Photograph anything that worried you and email it to the customer. #### 6. Two-person lifts Anything over 80lb is two people. No exceptions. The macho one-person lift is how backs get destroyed at age 35. #### 7-10 Ladders, dust masks, water/snacks, and a working phone. Boring and lifesaving.

Most shops update their price list once and forget about it. Then, six months later, margins are mysteriously down. Run this October review. #### Material costs Pull invoices from your top three suppliers, last 12 months. Average sqft cost vs. what your quote system uses. Update the delta. #### Labor rates If you gave raises this year, your loaded hourly cost is up 8-12%. Has your sqft pricing reflected that? Probably not. #### Consumables Adhesives, polishing wheels, abrasive — track per-job cost. We see 15-20% creep in consumables YoY that no one accounts for. #### Profile pricing Time five linear feet of each profile this month. Has your team gotten faster? Slower? Adjust accordingly. #### The discipline Run this review every October. Build it into the calendar. Margin discipline is what separates shops that grow from shops that just survive.

The transition catches teams off guard every year. #### Adhesive temperature Most epoxies need 50°F+ to cure properly. Heat the cartridge in your truck cab on the way to the job. Pre-warm the seam area with a heat gun before applying. #### Slab thermal shock A slab moved from a heated truck to a cold garage can crack from thermal stress. Acclimate slabs at the install site for 30 minutes before handling. #### Caulk and sealant Switch to cold-weather formulations starting October 1. The summer SKU goes brittle below 45°F. #### Crew gear Insulated gloves with grip — cheap insurance against dropped slabs. Foot warmers for the 7-hour install in an unheated new construction. #### Customer setup Ask the customer to have heat on at the install site. "It's 38° in the kitchen" is the answer no installer wants to hear at 7am. All posts Start Free Trial ## The ROI Math on Estimating Software: Should You Switch? URL: https://www.stoneproject.app/blog/estimating-software-roi-stone-shops Back to blog 2026-09-16 ### The ROI Math on Estimating Software: Should You Switch? Every shop owner asks the same question: is the $99/month estimating software worth it? Let's do the math. #### Time savings A typical kitchen quote, done by hand: 45-60 minutes. Done in good estimating software: 12-18 minutes. Saved time per quote: ~35 minutes. #### Quote volume Average shop quotes 25-40 jobs per month. At 35 saved minutes each, that's 14-23 hours/month. #### Hourly cost If your estimator earns $25/hr loaded, you save $350-575/month. If it's the owner doing quotes (likely $60-100/hr opportunity cost), you save $840-2,300/month. #### Close-rate impact Faster quote turnaround correlates with higher close rate. We see shops jump from 32% to 41% close rate when they go from 5-day to 24-hour quote response. #### The verdict Even at the most pessimistic numbers, a $99/month tool pays back 4x. The shops that don't switch aren't doing the math.

Here's what's shifting. #### Warm whites are up; cool whites are down Calacatta Gold and Mont Blanc are eating Cambria Brittanicca's market share. Buyers want "warm and inviting," not "sterile." #### Veining is bigger and more dramatic Subtle, mineral-flecked patterns lost share. Bold, large-scale veining (Taj Mahal, Statuario, Calacatta Vagli) gained 18% YoY. #### Black is back Soapstone, Nero Marquina, and honed black quartz are seeing real demand on islands paired with white perimeter. #### Color of the year: warm taupe-brown Travertine, Taj Mahal, and tan-veined quartz crossing into mainstream demand. Suddenly trend-conscious buyers are asking for what we'd call "warm earth tones." #### What to stock Heavy-vein white quartzite, full-slab statuario quartz, and at least two dramatic dark options. Skip the muted greys for the next 6 months — that trend has cooled fast.

The new shop will probably lose them too. Here's the pattern. #### Pay isn't the problem Survey your team. The answer is almost never "more money." It's "clear schedule," "working equipment," "respect from the boss," "a path to grow." #### The clear-schedule fix Publish the week's job board every Friday at 4pm. Standing standup Monday at 7. No surprises. People can plan their lives. #### The working-equipment fix If a tool is broken, fix it. Don't make the team work around it for six months. Nothing burns morale like a saw that's been "about to be serviced" since spring. #### The growth-path fix Even a small shop can have titles. Apprentice, fabricator, lead fabricator, shop foreman. Give people somewhere to climb. #### The respect fix Don't bid jobs your team thinks are stupid. When they say "this miter won't hold," listen. They're right more than you are.

Most shops realize they weren't ready by the first week of October. Don't be most shops. #### 1. Service every machine Saw blade alignment, CNC tool changeout, waterjet abrasive line. A breakdown in October costs 2 weeks of throughput. #### 2. Stock fast-movers Six slabs each of your top three sellers. Don't let "out of stock" cost you a kitchen in peak season. #### 3. Hire a templater By August. Training takes 4 weeks; you want them solo by October. Hiring in October means you're paying overtime to your existing team. #### 4. Tighten your CRM stages Add a "Production Hold" stage between Approved and In Production. It surfaces stuck jobs before they bottleneck the shop. #### 5. Warn your subs Plumber, electrician, tile guy. Lock their fall calendar now. The shops that lose money in October are the ones whose installs get held up by a missing electrician.

The magnet does. When they remodel the master bath, they call you. #### The economics A printed magnet costs about $1.20 in bulk. If 40% of your kitchen customers come back for a second job in 5-7 years (and they do), that magnet pays back 200x. #### Add a QR code Link it to a maintenance video on your YouTube channel. You'll be amazed how many homeowners actually scan it.

Bathroom jobs spike. Parents want one bathroom done before school starts. Capitalize. #### Lead with vanity tops Smaller scope, faster turnaround, easier sell. Quote a complete vanity with undermount sink and edge profile as a single line item, not a la carte. #### Use leftover slabs Vanities are the perfect remnant home. A 60" vanity is 12-15 sqft — exactly the leftover from a typical kitchen island. #### Pair with a faucet partner Local plumbing supply houses love sending you customers if you send them ones back. A "countertop + sink + faucet, installed in one day" package closes itself. #### Marketing copy "Get your guest bath ready before school starts." Run that on Google Local Service Ads with a 7-day delivery promise. We see 4-6x normal response rate the first three weeks of August.

Here's how the best shops handle it. #### Have a written change-order process Email or in-app form, signed by the customer, with the cost and schedule impact spelled out. No verbal changes, ever. #### Price changes generously If a sink swap is $200 of real cost to you, charge $400. Half the time the customer will cancel and you save the work; the other half pays a fair markup for disrupting your schedule. #### Be honest about timing "This change pushes your install from Monday to Friday" lands much better than a quiet 4-day delay the customer discovers later. #### Walk away from impossible asks If the change requires re-templating and the customer won't pay for it, decline. A bad job that breeds a bad review costs more than a lost deposit.

Here's what we've actually seen pay back. #### Worth it: laser templating Digital templating hardware — pick one and commit. Saves 1-2 hours per template, eliminates transcription errors, customers love the tech demo. ROI in under a year for any shop doing 8+ jobs/month. #### Worth it: dust extraction upgrades OSHA silica enforcement is real. A proper extractor + wet cutting saves you a respirator program and a lot of fines. #### Hype: AI-generated quotes Marketing-grade demos. Real-world: every quote still needs a human review. The AI saves data entry, not judgment. #### Hype: blockchain-tracked slabs Solving a problem nobody has. Skip. #### Sleeper hit: digital edge profile catalogs A tablet at the showroom with high-res renders of every profile on every material. Closes upsells without dragging customers to the yard.

Most templating losses come from the same five mistakes. #### 1. Not photographing the existing space Take 30 photos. Every cabinet edge, every wall plumb, every plumbing rough-in. When fabrication has a question two weeks later, you have the answer in your phone. #### 2. Skipping the floor-level check Use a 4' bubble level on the cabinet tops. If you're more than 1/8" off across an island, your seam will fail or your scribed edge will fight you. Document the high points. #### 3. Verbal change orders Customer says "actually, can we move the sink 2 inches left?" Get it in writing. A photo of you and them pointing at the new mark is enough. #### 4. Single-piece templates on multi-piece jobs Tape together templates that span seams. The seam location is a fabrication decision; templating just records the existing geometry. #### 5. Trusting builder-supplied measurements Never. Always re-measure. Builders are optimistic about square.

Here's the playbook. #### Categories Primary: "Countertop store." Secondary: "Marble supplier," "Granite supplier," "Stone cutter," "Tile contractor." The category mix is the single biggest ranking factor. #### Photos — at least 100 Upload weekly. Before/after shots, slab close-ups, install photos, your team. Geotag them in metadata if you can. #### Reviews — automate the ask Send a review request 3 days post-install. The right time is when the customer is enjoying the new kitchen, not the day of install when they're stressed. #### Q&A Seed it yourself. Add 10 questions you hear constantly ("Do you do edge profiles?", "How long does installation take?") and answer them publicly. #### Posts Post weekly. Doesn't have to be elaborate — a slab arrival announcement works. Posts decay after 7 days but Google rewards consistency.

Here's the plan we wish we'd had when we hired our first fabricator. #### Week 1-2: Safety + materials PPE, lifting, lockout-tagout. Every material in your inventory — what it is, how it cuts, what kills it. Quiz at the end of week two. #### Week 3-6: Saw and basic profiles Eased and beveled edges only. Shadow your best fabricator. Cut scrap until they can hit a straight line within 1mm. #### Week 7-10: CNC operation Run programmed jobs with supervision. Don't let them write G-code yet. Focus on tool changes, work-holding, and reading the screen for problems. #### Week 11-12: Polish + quality Polish progression, defect identification, the rake-light inspection. By day 90 they should be polishing a complete kitchen unsupervised. #### What to skip Don't put a new hire on installs in the first 90 days.

Don't. Here's what actually moves the needle during the holiday week. #### Use the slowdown to ship backlog Ten paid-and-waiting jobs are worth more than ten new leads at 25% off. Push fabrication, push installs, get cash flowing. #### Content, not coupons Post a portfolio reel on Instagram. Email past clients a "summer maintenance" tip. Update three Google Business Profile photos. These compound forever; a discount is one transaction. #### If you must run a promo Bundle, don't discount. "Free undermount sink install with kitchen package" feels like a gift. "$300 off" feels like you padded the price. #### The real opportunity Schedule a yard cleanup. Photograph remnants. Update your widget catalog. The first week of July is the highest-leverage admin week of the year.

Here's how to win summer installs. #### Stage materials in the shade Slabs sitting in direct sun reach 130°F+ on the surface. That kills epoxy open time. Tarp the truck, stage in the garage, work the cooler side of the kitchen first. #### Switch to slow-cure epoxy Most shops carry one cartridge type. In summer, switch to the slow-cure SKU from May through September. The 30-second extra working time saves jobs. #### Hydration Two installers at 95°F lose a liter of sweat per hour. Crew that doesn't hydrate makes mistakes — drops slabs, cuts wrong miters. Mandate water breaks every 30 minutes. It's the cheapest insurance you can buy. #### Customer expectations Tell customers up front: install windows shrink in heat waves. We may push your job a day. They'll forgive a polite reschedule; they'll never forgive a cracked island.

For most independent fabrication shops, that means Stone Project: kanban project pipeline, quote builder with drawings, scheduling, invoicing, QuickBooks Online sync, and a mobile app that works offline at job sites. #### What makes a CRM "fabricator-grade"? Stone shops lose money when leads sit in voicemail, quotes never get a follow-up, and install dates live on three different calendars. A fabricator CRM should: Track every lead from first call through template, fab, install, and invoice Attach drawings, photos, and PDF quotes to the same project record Send automatic follow-ups when a quote goes stale Let templaters and installers update status from their phones Sync customers and invoices with QuickBooks Online #### Why Stone Project vs generic CRMs? HubSpot and Salesforce are powerful — but they do not understand slab layouts, edge profiles, cutouts, remnant inventory, or templating routes. Stone Project combines CRM with countertop quoting software, calendar routing, and optional remnant marketplace listing in one platform. #### Who should choose Stone Project? Solo fabricators and shops with 1–50 employees Granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, and porcelain countertop businesses Teams replacing legacy software + spreadsheets + text-message chaos Shops that quote on-site and need offline mobile access See pricing at stoneproject.app/pricing — free tier available, no credit card required to list remnants. Start free on Stone Project ## Case Study: Cape Granite Connection Runs on Stone Project URL: https://www.stoneproject.app/blog/cape-granite-connection-case-study-stone-project ← Back to blog 2026-06-18 ### Case Study: Cape Granite Connection Standardizes Quoting and Projects with Stone Project Cape Granite Connection is a full-service stone fabrication and installation company based in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, serving homeowners and contractors across Cape Cod. Founded in 2015, the shop fabricates granite, marble, and quartz countertops — pricing projects by the foot rather than by whole slab — and maintains a warehouse with 100+ surface options for customers to view in person (capegraniteconnection.com). #### The challenge Like many established fabrication businesses, Cape Granite Connection juggled high-touch sales with production complexity: multiple jobs in flight, revision-heavy quotes, builder accounts with sub-projects, and field staff who need accurate project files without hunting through email threads. #### Why they chose Stone Project The team adopted Stone Project (formerly marketed as Remnant Finder) as their operating system for: Visual quoting — countertop drawings with dimensions, edges, and cutouts tied to price lists Project pipeline — kanban stages from lead through template, fabrication, and install Account hierarchy — builder and branch relationships tracked under parent accounts Project inventory — slabs, sinks, and accessories logged per job instead of only in the yard Needs-attention flags — managers can flag jobs that are not overdue but still require a decision Discount presets — consistent pricing adjustments on quotes without manual math errors #### Workflow wins on Cape Cod Because much of their work spans seasonal demand and travel across the Cape, having quotes, photos, and project notes in one mobile-friendly system reduced back-and-forth between the showroom at 18 Fruean Way and field staff. Drawing revisions attach to the same project record — so when a homeowner changes a waterfall edge after template, the team does not rebuild context from scratch. "We needed one place where sales, template, and production see the same job — not three versions of the truth." — Brian Pink, Cape Granite Connection #### Results (qualitative) Faster quote revisions with version history on complex kitchens Fewer "lost" follow-ups because open quotes sit in a visible pipeline Cleaner handoffs between office staff and install crews CSV imports for materials and colors to seed price lists without retyping catalogs Note: Individual metrics vary by shop size and season.

The customer hosts Thanksgiving, someone leans on the seating side, the slab cracks, and you're rebuilding a kitchen for free. Here's how to never let that happen. #### The 1/3 rule On a 3cm slab, you can cantilever up to 1/3 of the slab's depth without support. So a 24" deep slab can overhang 8" unsupported. Beyond that, you need engineered support. #### Bracket options For 9-15" overhangs: countersunk steel plates set into the cabinet top. For 15-24" overhangs: steel corbels or knee walls. Above 24": engineered cantilever brackets rated for 250lb point load minimum. #### Common mistakes Wood corbels — pretty but they flex. Sub-counter plywood — splits within 18 months. "It'll be fine" — famous last words at the post-installation lawsuit deposition. #### Document the spec Photograph every bracket installation, log it to the project, send the photo to the customer. Make the support visible in the spec sheet. When someone asks why a 16" overhang costs $400 extra, you have the engineering.

The remnant sits for 18 months until someone trips over it. Here's a smarter approach. #### Start at 50% Day one in the rack, list the remnant at 50% of new-slab sqft price. That covers your handling cost and leaves room to negotiate. #### Decay 5% per month Every 30 days, drop the price 5% automatically. By month six, you're at 25%. By month nine, you're at 12%. At that point, the remnant is costing you more in floor space than you'll get from selling it. #### Auto-relist with new photos Every price drop, push a refreshed listing with new photos and the new price. Buyers who were on the fence at $42/sqft suddenly act at $38. #### The numbers Beta shop with 80 remnants on the floor: cleared 67 of them in 90 days using this model. Average sale price was 38% of new-slab cost — meaning roughly $19,400 in revenue from material that was costing them rent. Your yard is a bank account; stop letting it sit.

Here's how to clear it up without being condescending. #### The 30-second explainer "Quartz is engineered — about 90% ground stone bound by resin. It's manufactured, totally consistent, and very low-maintenance. Quartzite is 100% natural stone — a metamorphic rock that's harder than granite. Each slab is unique. Quartzite needs to be sealed about once a year. Quartz never needs sealing. Both are fantastic, but they're different products at different price points." #### When to recommend quartz Busy families with red wine, turmeric, and toddlers. Rentals. Resale flips. Anyone who values consistency and won't tolerate any maintenance ritual. #### When to recommend quartzite Showpiece kitchens. Customers who fell in love with the veining of a specific slab. Buyers willing to do annual sealing. Higher budgets ($90-160/sqft installed). #### The slab-yard close Get them to the yard. Walk them past three quartz slabs first (Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone) to anchor the consistency. Then walk them past three quartzite (Taj Mahal, Mont Blanc, Sea Pearl). Watch their eyes. Whichever stone they touch first wins the kitchen.

Shops we work with see lead volume spike 200-300% the week after the holiday. If your phone goes to voicemail and your inbox sits unread, you'll hand those leads to the competitor with a website form. #### Pre-holiday prep (do this Friday before) Push your quote turnaround commitment to 48 hours, not 5 days. Set a vacation responder that promises a callback Tuesday. Make sure your online quote widget is live and your kanban has an empty Lead column. #### The Tuesday triage Sort by job size and proximity. A $35k waterfall island 12 miles away gets a same-day visit. A $4k bath vanity 90 miles away gets a polite "we're not in your area" reply. Stop trying to win every job — win the right ones. #### Use the widget for screening If your quote widget asks address + sqft + material, you can disqualify out-of-area or undersized jobs before they reach a human. That alone saves an estimator's afternoon. #### Follow-up rhythm Day 1: quote sent. Day 4: "any questions?" email. Day 10: phone call. Day 21: "closing the file" email. The 21-day email often resurrects 15% of dead leads — homeowners are slow. The shops winning summer aren't the cheapest. They're the most responsive.

It was a calibration drift you didn't catch in time. Here's the monthly routine our beta shops swear by. #### Saw — weekly Run a 4'×4' test cut at 0°, 45°, and 90°. Measure diagonals. If they're off by more than 0.5mm across 4', shim or call your service tech. Check blade flange torque every Friday — it loosens more than people think. #### CNC — bi-weekly Cut a 200mm calibration square in MDF, measure with a granite square. Re-home all three axes. Replace bridge wheels every 2,000 hours of cut time. Spindle runout above 0.05mm = call the manufacturer. #### Waterjet — monthly Replace mixing tube, check focus tube alignment, run a tear-out test on cardboard at 30k psi. Drift on the Z-axis is the silent killer — it eats abrasive efficiency by 15-20% before you notice. #### Document everything A calibration log isn't bureaucracy — it's how you spot a $40,000 spindle failure two weeks before it happens. Note any anomaly. Photo the wear. Track abrasive consumption per linear foot. Stone fabricators are mechanics first, artists second. Treat your machines like an airline treats a 737 and your scrap rate halves.

Here's a fabricator-friendly tour of the profiles you'll quote 90% of the time, and the ones to push back on when a customer asks for them. #### Eased (also called "square" or "flat polish") The standard. A 1mm chamfer on top and bottom and a polished face. It's the cheapest, the fastest, and the most common — easily 60-70% of the kitchens you fabricate. Charge it as included in your base sqft price; profile time is under five minutes per linear foot once you have your wheels dialed in. #### Beveled / Chamfered A 45° cut on the top edge, usually 1/4" or 1/2". Adds a touch more visual weight than eased without going decorative. Slightly more polish work but no special tooling. A common upcharge here is $5-8/lf. #### Demi-Bullnose (Half Round) The top edge is a quarter-round. Reads soft and contemporary. Comes up a lot in transitional kitchens and master baths. Charge $10-15/lf — you need a dedicated profile wheel and a couple of extra polishing passes. #### Full Bullnose The full edge becomes a half-circle. Looks great on thicker slabs (3cm+) and on islands. Heavier polish job, more vibration, more risk of chipping if you rush. $15-22/lf is fair. #### Ogee S-curve, the classic "traditional" profile. High-margin work because it sells the kitchen — clients see it on Pinterest and want it. It's also the profile most likely to show wheel marks if your machine is tired. Inspect under raking light before delivery. $25-40/lf depending on stone hardness. #### Mitered Edge (waterfall and built-up) Two pieces joined at 45° to fake a thicker slab. Used on waterfall islands and built-up perimeter. This is where fabrication separates from production. A bad miter ruins the whole island. Charge by the linear foot of the joint, not the slab — $40-80/lf is standard, more for quartzite. Always template the waterfall on-site if the floor isn't dead level. #### Profiles to talk customers out of DuPont, Cove DuPont, and triple-pencil are nightmares to maintain on quartzite and marble. They look stunning new but the inside curve traps grime. If a customer insists, charge premium ($45-60/lf) and warranty-disclaim the inside detail. #### Setting your edge price list Don't price profiles by ego — price them by your actual run rate. Time five linear feet of each profile in your shop, multiply by your loaded hourly rate, add 30% for sanity, and that's your number. Update it once a year as wheels wear and your team gets faster.

That’s not an opinion — it’s marketplace data. Listings with five or more high-quality photos consistently generate three times more inquiries than listings with one or two mediocre shots. In a world where buyers scroll past dozens of listings in seconds, your photos are the make-or-break factor between a sale and a skip. The good news? You don’t need a professional photographer or expensive equipment. A modern smartphone, natural light, and a systematic approach to capturing seven specific angles will dramatically increase your remnant sell-through rate. Here’s exactly what to shoot and why each photo matters. #### Why Photo Quality Directly Impacts Sales Stone is a visual product. Unlike buying lumber or hardware, where specifications alone can drive a purchase decision, countertop material purchases are heavily influenced by aesthetics. A homeowner choosing a bathroom vanity top wants to see the veining, the color depth, the way light plays across the surface. A contractor sourcing material for a client needs photos good enough to share with the homeowner for approval. Marketplace data consistently shows the correlation between photo quality and sales performance: Listings with 5+ photos receive 3.2x more inquiries than single-photo listings Listings with natural lighting photos get 40% higher engagement than indoor fluorescent shots Listings that show imperfections honestly have a 25% higher close rate (buyers trust transparent sellers) The average time to sale drops from 45 days to 12 days when photo quality is high Every minute you invest in better photos pays back in faster sales and higher prices. Here are the seven shots that make it happen. #### Shot 1: The Full Piece Overview This is your hero image — the first thing a buyer sees when scrolling through listings. Stand back far enough to capture the entire remnant in a single frame. The piece should fill most of the image while showing its full outline and proportions. How to take it right: Lean the piece against a wall or A-frame at a slight angle (10-15 degrees) so you can photograph the full face Include something for scale — a tape measure laid across the bottom, or stand a 2-foot level next to it. Buyers need to internalize the size immediately Shoot from straight on, centered, at roughly the midpoint height of the piece Make sure the background is clean and uncluttered — other slabs, equipment, and debris in the background distract from the piece you’re selling Why it matters: This photo answers the buyer’s first two questions: “What does it look like?” and “How big is it?” If these questions aren’t answered instantly, they scroll on. #### Shot 2: Close-Up of the Pattern and Veining This is what sells exotic and premium materials. A full slab overview shows the general appearance, but the close-up reveals the character — the way veins flow, the depth of color variation, the crystalline structure that makes natural stone unique. How to take it right: Get within 12-18 inches of the surface Focus on the most visually interesting area — where veining is most dramatic, where colors transition, or where the pattern creates a focal point Wet the surface before shooting. This is the single biggest tip for natural stone photography. Water brings out the color depth and veining contrast that a dry surface hides. A spray bottle and a rag are all you need Use your phone’s portrait mode if available — it creates a subtle depth effect that makes the image look more professional Why it matters: This photo creates desire. When a homeowner sees a close-up of gorgeous Calacatta veining or the deep blue movement of Azul Macaubas, they start imagining it in their space. That emotional connection is what converts a browser into a buyer. #### Shot 3: Edge Detail The edge of a remnant tells a buyer important things about the material and its possibilities. Is the edge naturally rough? Has it been polished? Is it straight-cut or does it have an irregular shape? The edge also reveals the material’s thickness and cross-section color. How to take it right: Photograph the edge at a slight angle, showing both the edge face and a glimpse of the top surface Include at least 12-18 inches of the edge in the frame to show consistency If the edge has been polished or profiled (from a previous project), capture that detail — it adds value because the buyer may not need edge work For two-tone materials (like granite with a different color on the surface vs. the cross-section), make sure the edge shot shows both Why it matters: Professionals pay attention to edges. A contractor or fabricator looking at your remnant wants to know the thickness, whether existing edge work can be incorporated, and what the material looks like in cross-section. For them, this photo is a practical assessment tool, not just aesthetics. #### Shot 4: Color in Natural Light Indoor shop lighting — especially fluorescent — distorts colors significantly. That warm Taj Mahal quartzite that looks golden in sunlight appears gray-green under shop fluorescents. Buyers know this, and savvy ones will discount indoor-only photos because they can’t trust the color representation. How to take it right: Move the piece outside or to a loading dock with good natural light Shoot on an overcast day if possible — direct sunlight creates harsh shadows and blown-out highlights. Overcast light is even and true If you can’t move the piece outside, position it near a large open garage door where natural light reaches it Avoid shooting in the shade of a building — this creates a blue color cast Take the photo from the same angle as your overview shot for consistency Why it matters: Color accuracy builds trust. When a buyer drives 45 minutes to your shop to see a remnant and it looks exactly like the photos, you’ve earned their confidence for this sale and future ones. When the color doesn’t match, you’ve wasted their time and yours — and they’re unlikely to come back. #### Shot 5: Any Imperfections — Photographed Honestly This is the photo most fabricators skip, and it’s the one that separates trusted sellers from the rest. If your remnant has a chip on one corner, a small crack, a filled repair, or any blemish, photograph it clearly and note it in the description. How to take it right: Get close enough that the imperfection is clearly visible — no ambiguity Include enough surrounding surface to show the scale of the imperfection relative to the overall piece If it’s a repaired crack, note whether the repair is structural or cosmetic For chips, photograph from the angle that shows the size and depth accurately Why it matters: Counter-intuitively, showing imperfections increases your close rate. Here’s why: when a buyer sees a listing with no mention of imperfections, they assume either A) it’s too good to be true, or B) the seller is hiding something. Either way, they approach with skepticism. But when they see a listing that honestly shows a small chip in photo #5 with a note saying “small chip on corner, easily concealed during fabrication,” they think: “This seller is honest. I can trust the rest of the listing.” That trust converts to sales. #### Shot 6: Thickness and Profile View Material thickness matters for every application. A 2cm remnant works for a bathroom vanity but not for a kitchen counter that needs 3cm. A buyer needs to know the thickness from the photo, not just from the description — because descriptions can contain errors. How to take it right: Photograph the corner or end of the piece where both the top surface and the edge are visible simultaneously Place a ruler or tape measure against the edge showing the thickness clearly. A simple “3cm” reading in the photo eliminates any misunderstanding If the piece has been laminated (two pieces bonded for a thicker edge), show this clearly as it’s a selling point for kitchen applications Why it matters: Thickness misunderstandings are the number-one reason for in-person visit failures. A buyer drives to your shop expecting 3cm material and finds 2cm — the trip was wasted, and so was your time answering the door. A clear thickness photo eliminates this entirely. #### Shot 7: The Context Shot — Show Potential This is the optional seventh shot that elevates your listing from informational to aspirational. Instead of just documenting the stone as raw material, show what it could become. This doesn’t require staging a full installation — even a suggestive composition helps. How to take it right: If the remnant is large enough for a vanity, prop it on a small cabinet or against a bathroom-style backdrop For smaller pieces, place them on a coffee table or shelf to suggest their use as a tabletop or accent piece If you have completed projects with similar material, include a photo of the finished installation (with permission) to show the buyer what the material looks like installed Even a simple caption like “Perfect for a 36-inch bathroom vanity” or “Ideal for a coffee table top” helps the buyer visualize the end result Why it matters: Most buyers — especially homeowners — need help imagining the application. They see a slab of stone and think “that’s nice.” But they see a photo suggesting it as a bathroom vanity and think “that’s exactly what I need for my powder room remodel.” Context turns interest into intent. #### The Photography Workflow: Make It a Habit Taking seven photos per remnant sounds like a lot until you build a system. Here’s an efficient workflow that takes about 5-7 minutes per piece: Move the piece to your photography spot (near a loading dock or outside) Spray the surface with water — one sweep with a spray bottle Take the overview shot with scale reference Move in for the close-up of the best veining area Walk to the edge and capture the edge detail Step back for the natural light overview Photograph any imperfections Capture the thickness with a ruler If time permits, take the context shot Set up a dedicated photography area in your shop — even just a clean wall with good light — and batch your photography. Doing 10 remnants in an hour is realistic once you have the routine down. That hour of work consistently generates thousands of dollars in sales over the following weeks. #### Upload, List, and Sell Great photos paired with accurate descriptions and competitive pricing create listings that sell. Stone Project lets you upload photos directly from your phone, add material details, set your price, and publish — all in under two minutes per listing. Your photos are displayed prominently, giving buyers the visual confidence they need to reach out. “I went from selling maybe one remnant a month to selling four or five — and the only thing I changed was my photos. Same inventory, same prices, but now buyers can actually see what they’re getting.” Your remnants deserve better than a single, poorly-lit photo taken in passing. Give them the seven shots that tell their full story, and watch your inquiries multiply. The investment is 5-7 minutes per piece. The return is measured in thousands of dollars per month. Start today — your yard full of forgotten stone is waiting to become your most profitable revenue stream.

Stone Project was built by people who understand the stone industry. That distinction matters more than you might think. It’s the difference between a tool that forces you to adapt to its workflow and one that was designed around the way fabrication shops actually operate — from the messy reality of managing remnant yards to the complexity of quoting a kitchen with mitered waterfall edges. This is the story of why we built Stone Project, what makes it fundamentally different from every other option available, and why we believe it’s the platform that modern fabricators have been waiting for. #### The Problem We Saw Every Day Before building Stone Project, we spent years working alongside countertop fabricators. We watched skilled craftspeople who could cut a perfect 45-degree miter on a $200/sq ft quartzite slab… and then manage their $500,000 business with sticky notes, text messages, and a whiteboard in the shop. We saw fabricators: Losing thousands in wasted material — Remnant yards filled with valuable stone that nobody knew was there, slowly getting damaged, buried, and eventually sent to the landfill. Managing clients with spreadsheets and memory — A new lead would come in by phone while the owner was on a job site. The lead’s name and number would go on a scrap of paper. Half the time, that paper never made it back to the shop. Creating quotes with Word documents and calculators — Every quote was a manual process. Open a template, change the client name, recalculate the square footage by hand, look up the material price, add the edge profile cost, try to remember what you charged the last client for a similar job. An hour per quote was common. Scheduling jobs via group texts — “Hey can you measure the Johnson kitchen Thursday?” followed by thirty messages of confusion about which Thursday, which Johnson, and whether the template was already done. Losing track of invoices and payments — Jobs would get completed, invoices would go out late (if at all), and collecting final payment turned into an awkward series of phone calls weeks after the work was done. The pattern was always the same: incredibly talented fabricators running their businesses with tools that belonged in the 1990s. Not because they were resistant to technology, but because no one had built technology for them. #### Why Generic Tools Don’t Work It’s not like fabricators haven’t tried. We talked to shop owners who had attempted Salesforce, HubSpot, Monday.com, QuickBooks (alone), Google Sheets, Trello, and various combinations of general-purpose tools. The story was always the same: “We tried it for a month, customized it as much as we could, and eventually stopped using it because it didn’t fit how we work.” Here’s why generic tools fail in the fabrication environment: CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot are built for companies with dedicated sales teams sitting at desks. They assume your “pipeline” is about emails, meetings, and demos. A fabricator’s pipeline is about measurements, material selection, template pickup, fabrication, and installation. Square pegs, round holes. Project management tools like Monday.com and Trello give you boards and task lists but have no concept of material inventory, square footage pricing, edge profiles, or countertop drawings. You end up recreating your entire workflow in generic buckets that don’t mean anything. Accounting tools like QuickBooks handle the financial side but know nothing about your operations. You can invoice clients, but you can’t see which projects are in fabrication, which measurements are scheduled, or what’s in your remnant yard. Scheduling tools like Calendly or Acuity let clients book appointments but can’t handle crew assignments, route optimization, or job-specific checklists like “disconnect sink plumbing before removal.” The result? Fabricators cobble together 4-5 tools, none of which talk to each other, and spend more time managing the tools than managing their business. Or — more commonly — they give up and go back to the whiteboard. #### The All-in-One Approach: Built for Stone, Not Adapted for It We started building Stone Project with a simple premise: fabricators need one platform that handles everything, and that platform needs to understand the stone countertop industry from the ground up. That’s not a marketing slogan — it’s a design philosophy that touches every feature. Here’s what it means in practice: ##### Marketplace — Sell Remnants to a National Audience Every piece in your inventory can be listed for sale with detailed specifications — material type, dimensions, thickness, condition, veining pattern, and origin. Buyers search by material, size, location, and price. Your remnants get in front of homeowners, contractors, and other fabricators who are actively looking for what you have. ##### CRM — Track Every Lead and Client Purpose-built for fabrication shops. Your pipeline stages match your actual workflow: Lead Measurement Design Quoted Approved Production Installation Completed. Every interaction is logged. Follow-ups are automated. Nothing falls through the cracks. ##### Drawing Tool — Design Countertops Digitally Draw countertop layouts directly in the app. Add edges, cutouts for sinks and cooktops, backsplash, and special features. The drawing tool calculates area automatically and feeds directly into your quote — no separate CAD program, no manual measurements, no calculator. ##### Quoting — Professional Quotes in Minutes Generate detailed, professional PDF quotes with your company branding. Material costs, edge profiles, cutouts, fabrication, installation — all calculated automatically based on your pricing library. Send the quote to the client with one tap. They can approve it online. The approved quote automatically creates a project. ##### Scheduling — Calendar, Routes, and Checklists Visual calendar for your entire team. Route optimization for daily trips. Job checklists customized by activity type. Photo documentation at every step. Time tracking for accurate labor data. This is the scheduling system fabricators actually need — not a repurposed corporate calendar. ##### Invoicing and Payments — Get Paid Faster Generate invoices directly from approved quotes. Track payment status. Set up payment plans for larger projects. Sync with QuickBooks so your accountant stays happy. Accept payments through the client portal. No more chasing checks three weeks after installation. ##### Client Portal — Clients See Their Projects Your clients get a branded portal where they can view their project status, approve quotes, pay invoices, send messages, and see their files. It’s professional, it reduces phone calls, and it puts you leagues ahead of competitors who communicate via text message. ##### Analytics — Know Your Numbers Revenue dashboards, quote-to-close ratios, material profitability, team productivity, pipeline forecasting. The numbers you need to make better business decisions, presented in charts you can actually understand. #### What Makes This Different from “Just Another App” Software companies love to build platforms and then look for industries to sell them to. We did the opposite. We started with the industry — its specific workflows, terminology, pain points, and opportunities — and built the platform around it. This means: You don’t need to customize anything. Material categories, edge profiles, project stages, pricing structures — they’re all pre-configured for the countertop industry. You set your specific prices and you’re running. Everything is connected. A quote references a drawing that references a client that’s on a project that has scheduled activities that generate invoices that sync with QuickBooks. One system. Zero data re-entry. It works on your phone. Because fabricators aren’t at a desk — they’re on job sites, in the shop, and in the truck. Every feature works on mobile, not as an afterthought, but as the primary experience. Industry-specific intelligence. Automatic follow-up on aging quotes. Pipeline analytics that match the fabrication sales cycle. Remnant pricing recommendations based on material type and market data. Features that only make sense for this industry. #### The Technology Adoption Gap in Fabrication The stone fabrication industry is at an inflection point. Some shops have embraced digital tools and are pulling ahead — closing more deals, operating more efficiently, and building stronger client relationships. Others are still running on paper and phone calls, watching their margins shrink as material costs rise and competition increases. This gap will only widen. Clients — especially homeowners influenced by seamless digital experiences from other industries — increasingly expect online quotes, digital project tracking, and professional communication. The fabricator who sends a branded PDF quote within an hour of the measurement will always beat the one who emails a handwritten estimate two days later. The question isn’t whether technology will transform the fabrication industry. It already is. The question is whether your shop will be on the leading edge or playing catch-up. “We didn’t build Stone Project because we thought the world needed another software product. We built it because we saw extraordinarily talented fabricators held back by outdated tools, and we knew the industry deserved something built specifically for its needs.” #### See the Difference for Yourself We could tell you more about features, but the real test is whether it makes sense for your specific shop. Stone Project is available on iOS, Android, and the web — download it, explore the features, and see how it compares to whatever combination of tools you’re using today. No long-term contracts. No setup fees. No sales calls required. Just a platform built by people who understand your business, ready to help you run it better. The fabrication industry has waited long enough for software that actually gets it. We built that software. Now it’s your move.

Your crew is spread across multiple job sites. Material needs to arrive at the right place at the right time. And if one job runs late, everything downstream starts falling like dominoes. For most fabricators, this scheduling chaos is managed through group texts, whiteboards, and the owner’s memory. And every single week, something falls through the cracks. What if you could see your entire team’s schedule at a glance, optimize their driving routes automatically, track job progress in real time, and handle all of it from the phone that’s already in your pocket? That’s not a hypothetical — it’s what modern scheduling technology does for fabrication shops that adopt it. Here’s how it works and why it matters for your bottom line. #### The Real Cost of Scheduling Chaos Before diving into solutions, let’s quantify the problem. A typical fabrication shop with 3-5 active jobs per day faces these scheduling-related costs: Wasted drive time: Without route optimization, your crew might drive 30-40 extra miles per day zigzagging between job sites. At $0.67/mile (IRS 2026 rate) plus labor, that’s $150-$300 per day in unnecessary transportation costs. Missed appointments: Every rescheduled measurement or installation costs you credibility with the client and typically delays the project by 3-5 days. Enough of these and your reputation suffers on Google Reviews. Double-booked crews: When scheduling lives in text messages, it’s only a matter of time before two jobs get assigned to the same installer on the same morning. The scramble to fix it wastes everyone’s time. No visibility: The shop owner drives to a job site to check on progress because they have no other way to know if things are on track. That’s two hours of their day burned on a problem that technology solved years ago. Add it up and most shops are losing $2,000-$5,000 per month to scheduling inefficiency — money that goes straight to the bottom line when you fix it. #### Visual Calendar: See Everything in One Place The foundation of effective scheduling is visibility. You need to see all your team’s activities — measurements, template pickups, fabrication schedules, installations, deliveries, and follow-ups — in a single view. Not on a whiteboard in the shop that nobody updates. Not in a group text where messages get buried. On a shared digital calendar that everyone can access from their phone. A visual calendar designed for fabrication shops shows you: Daily, weekly, and monthly views of all scheduled activities Team member assignments — who’s doing what, when, and where Activity types color-coded — measurements in blue, installations in green, deliveries in orange — so you can see the mix at a glance Drag-and-drop rescheduling — when things change (and they always do), move activities around without a phone call chain Capacity indicators — see when your team is overloaded and when they have availability, so you can schedule new work intelligently The shift from “I think we’re available Tuesday” to “I can see exactly what’s open Tuesday afternoon” transforms how you book new work. Faster, more accurate scheduling means more jobs per week and fewer embarrassing double-bookings. #### Route Optimization: Less Driving, More Installing Your installers don’t get paid to drive — they get paid to install. Yet most fabrication shops plan routes manually, typically by looking at addresses and making a gut-feel decision about the order. This approach usually adds 20-30% more drive time than necessary. Route optimization uses the actual locations of your daily jobs to calculate the most efficient sequence. It considers traffic patterns, drive times between stops, and time windows for each appointment. The result: your crew spends less time in the truck and more time on the job site. Here’s what this looks like in practice for a typical day with four installation stops: Without optimization: Job 1 (north side) Job 2 (south side) Job 3 (north side again) Job 4 (east side) = 87 miles, 2.5 hours driving With optimization: Job 1 (north side) Job 3 (north side) Job 4 (east side) Job 2 (south side) = 52 miles, 1.5 hours driving That’s 35 fewer miles and a full hour saved — every single day. Over a month, that’s 700 miles and 20 hours of driving eliminated. Your crew finishes earlier, your fuel bill drops, and you might even fit in an extra job per week because there’s time left in the day. Stone Project’s daily route feature lets you plan optimized routes for each crew, track progress as they complete stops, and adjust on the fly when priorities change. Your team sees their route on their phone with turn-by-turn navigation to each stop. #### Job Checklists: Never Miss a Step Every fabrication job has a sequence of steps that need to happen in order. Template the space. Confirm material selection. Cut the countertops. Polish edges. Load onto the truck. Arrive at the job site. Disconnect plumbing. Remove old countertop. Install new countertop. Make plumbing connections. Seal. Clean up. Walk through with the client. When any step gets skipped, it creates problems. Forgot to confirm the edge profile before cutting? That’s a rework. Didn’t disconnect plumbing before installation? That’s a delay while you scramble to find a plumber. Skipped the client walk-through? That’s a callback next week when they notice something you could have fixed on-site. Digital checklists attached to each scheduled activity ensure every step gets completed and documented. Here’s why they matter: Consistency across team members — Your most experienced installer might never skip a step. Your newest hire might forget three things their first month. Checklists level the playing field. Accountability — Each completed step is timestamped with who did it and when. No more “I thought you did that” conversations. Quality documentation — When a client calls three weeks later claiming the countertop was installed crooked, you have a timestamped photo from the installation checklist showing the level reading. Training acceleration — New employees ramp up faster when the process is documented in their checklist rather than existing only in a senior installer’s head. #### Photo Documentation: Proof That Protects Your Business Speaking of documentation — every job site visit should include photos. Before, during, and after. This isn’t about being paranoid; it’s about protecting your business from disputes that inevitably arise in residential construction. A proper scheduling system lets your crew take photos directly from the job checklist, automatically tagging them with the date, time, and location. These photos become part of the permanent project record. When a homeowner claims their existing countertop was damaged during removal, you have before-photos that tell the real story. When an insurance claim needs documentation, you have it ready. Beyond dispute protection, job photos serve practical purposes: Progress tracking for the shop owner — See photos from every active job without visiting the site. Know what stage each project is in by looking at the latest images. Client communication — Share progress photos with clients through the portal. Homeowners love seeing their project take shape, and it builds trust and excitement. Quality control — Review installation photos for standards compliance. Catch problems early before they become callbacks. Marketing material — Great job photos become great before-and-after content for your website and social media, attracting new clients. #### Productivity Tracking: Know Where Your Time Goes Most fabrication shop owners have a rough sense of how long different types of jobs take. “Installations usually take about four hours.” But “usually” and “about” aren’t precise enough to run a profitable schedule. If your installations actually average 5.2 hours but you’re scheduling them in 4-hour blocks, you’re systematically over-promising and under-delivering. Time tracking tied to your scheduling system gives you actual data on how long each type of activity takes, broken down by team member, material type, and project complexity. Over time, this data transforms your scheduling accuracy: Accurate time estimates — Schedule based on actual durations, not guesses. Fewer rushed jobs, fewer idle hours. Team performance insights — See which team members are fastest at different types of work. Assign jobs to the right people. Quoting accuracy — When you know exactly how long a 40 sq ft L-shaped kitchen with a waterfall takes to install, you can quote labor with confidence instead of padding “just in case.” Capacity planning — Know your true capacity for each type of work. Can you take on that extra kitchen this week? The data tells you, not your gut. #### Automatic Reminders: Because People Forget The best schedule in the world is useless if people don’t show up or show up at the wrong time. Automatic reminders solve this from both sides: For your team: Push notifications the evening before and the morning of each scheduled activity. No more “I forgot I had a measurement at 8 AM” situations. The reminder includes the address, client name, and any special instructions. For your clients: Automated emails or notifications confirming their appointment window. This reduces no-answer-at-the-door situations (every installer’s nightmare) and demonstrates professionalism that sets you apart from competitors who communicate via last-minute text messages. Studies show that appointment reminders reduce no-shows and reschedules by 30-40%. For a fabrication shop running 20 appointments per week, that’s 6-8 fewer disruptions per month — each one potentially saving hours of wasted crew time and fuel. #### From Chaos to Control: The Bottom Line Scheduling isn’t glamorous. It’s not a new CNC machine or a flashy showroom — it’s the operational backbone that determines whether your shop runs smoothly or constantly plays catch-up. The fabricators who take scheduling seriously — who invest in the tools and processes to do it right — consistently outperform those who wing it. The math is straightforward: reduced drive time, fewer missed appointments, better crew utilization, and fewer mistakes add up to thousands of dollars per month in recovered revenue and reduced costs. And all of it is manageable from the phone you already carry. “We went from constantly putting out fires — double-bookings, missed measurements, crews showing up at the wrong address — to running a tight operation where everyone knows exactly where they need to be and when. The difference is night and day.” — Shop owner, Texas Stone Project includes a complete scheduling system designed specifically for fabrication shops — visual calendar, route optimization, job checklists, photo documentation, time tracking, and automatic reminders. It’s one piece of a platform that handles your entire operation from lead to installation. Your team’s time is your most valuable asset. Stop managing it with text messages and start managing it with a system built for the way fabrication shops actually work.

Set the price too high and a perfectly good piece of Calacatta sits in your yard for months, gathering dust and taking up space. Price it too low and you’re giving away material you paid good money for. The sweet spot exists — and finding it consistently is what separates fabricators who profit from their remnants from those who treat them as waste. This guide gives you a complete, practical framework for pricing countertop remnants — from understanding your true cost basis to adjusting for market conditions, material type, and buyer psychology. Whether you have 5 remnants or 500, this system works. #### Step 1: Know Your True Material Cost Before you can price a remnant, you need to know what you paid for the original slab. This sounds obvious, but most fabricators don’t track this number accurately — especially when material was purchased months or years ago. Your cost per square foot is the floor for your remnant price. Here’s how to calculate it properly: Purchase price of the full slab — What you paid the distributor, including any freight charges Slab area — Length x width in square feet Cost per sq ft — Total price divided by total area For example, if you bought a slab of White Fantasy quartzite for $2,400 and it measured 120″ x 65″ (54.2 sq ft), your cost per square foot is $44.28. Any remnant from that slab should be priced above $44.28 per sq ft to avoid selling at a loss. If you don’t have exact purchase records for older remnants, use your current distributor pricing as a reference point. Material prices shift, but having an approximate cost is far better than guessing. A good inventory management system — like the one in Stone Project — lets you record purchase cost at the time of acquisition so you always have this number when it’s time to sell. #### Step 2: Understand the Remnant Discount Structure Remnants sell at a discount to full slab pricing. This is expected and non-negotiable — buyers are choosing a remnant specifically because it’s more affordable than buying a full slab. The question is how much of a discount to apply. The industry standard ranges from 30% to 60% off retail price, depending on several factors. Here’s a detailed breakdown: ##### Material Category Matters Most Not all stone holds its value equally as a remnant. Here’s a general guide based on material type: Exotic quartzite and marble (55-70% of retail) — Materials like Taj Mahal, Blue Bahia, Calacatta Gold, and Mont Blanc command premium remnant prices because buyers specifically seek them out. A homeowner who can’t afford a full slab of Calacatta for their kitchen will happily pay a premium for a remnant-sized piece for their bathroom vanity. Premium quartz (40-55% of retail) — High-end Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone colors hold value well. These are in consistent demand for small projects. Standard granite (35-50% of retail) — Common colors like Uba Tuba, Santa Cecilia, and Giallo Ornamental are widely available, so buyers have more options and less urgency. Price competitively to move them. Builder-grade quartz (30-40% of retail) — Solid colors and basic patterns from budget lines are the hardest remnants to sell at a premium. Price these aggressively to turn them into cash rather than letting them sit. ##### Size Affects Value Disproportionately Larger remnants are worth more per square foot than smaller ones because they’re more versatile. A 30 sq ft remnant can become a bathroom vanity, a laundry counter, or a small bar top. A 6 sq ft piece limits the buyer to trivial applications. Over 25 sq ft — Price at the higher end of your range. These pieces have real utility and attract serious buyers. 15 to 25 sq ft — The sweet spot for most remnant sales. Bathroom vanities and small projects drive demand here. 8 to 15 sq ft — Still sellable, but price more aggressively. Think coffee tables, fireplace hearths, side tables. Under 8 sq ft — Challenging to sell individually. Consider bundling small pieces or pricing at a steep discount for DIY buyers and crafters. #### Step 3: Build Your Pricing Table Based on the framework above, here’s a practical pricing table you can use as a starting point. Adjust based on your local market conditions. Exotic Materials (Quartzite, Premium Marble, Onyx) 25+ sq ft: 60-70% of retail per sq ft 15-25 sq ft: 55-65% of retail per sq ft 8-15 sq ft: 45-55% of retail per sq ft Under 8 sq ft: 35-45% of retail per sq ft Mid-Range Materials (Premium Quartz, Good Granite) 25+ sq ft: 50-60% of retail per sq ft 15-25 sq ft: 45-55% of retail per sq ft 8-15 sq ft: 35-45% of retail per sq ft Under 8 sq ft: 25-35% of retail per sq ft Standard Materials (Builder Quartz, Common Granite) 25+ sq ft: 40-50% of retail per sq ft 15-25 sq ft: 35-45% of retail per sq ft 8-15 sq ft: 25-35% of retail per sq ft Under 8 sq ft: 15-25% of retail per sq ft or bundle pricing #### Step 4: Adjust for Condition and Age Not every remnant is in pristine condition. Honest assessment and transparent pricing for condition issues actually helps you sell faster — buyers trust listings that acknowledge imperfections. Condition adjustments: Perfect condition — No adjustment needed. Price at the top of your range. Minor chips on edges — Reduce by 10-15%. These chips often get cut away during fabrication anyway, so they’re a non-issue for most buyers. Note this in your listing. Visible cracks or repairs — Reduce by 20-30%. Be upfront about the repair. Some buyers are fine with this for utility installations (laundry rooms, garage bars) where aesthetics are secondary. Significant damage or irregular shape — Reduce by 40-50% or consider these for liquidation pricing. Sometimes the best option is to get something rather than nothing. Age adjustment: Remnants that have been in your yard for more than 6 months should get an additional 10-15% discount. The carrying cost of that space — the yard real estate, the visual clutter, the risk of damage from being moved around — is real even if it doesn’t show up on an invoice. Moving an older piece at a lower margin is almost always better than keeping it another six months hoping for full price. #### Step 5: Factor in Your Local Market The pricing framework above is a starting point, but your local market conditions matter. Here are the factors that should push your prices up or down: Price up when: You’re in a high-cost-of-living area (major metro, affluent suburbs) where countertop prices are generally higher The specific color or material has been discontinued — scarcity drives value You’re in a market with few other remnant sellers — less competition means more pricing power It’s spring or summer — peak renovation season means higher demand Price down when: You’re in a competitive market with many fabricators selling remnants The material is widely available at distributors — no scarcity advantage It’s late fall or winter — renovation activity typically slows You need to free up space urgently for incoming material #### Step 6: Set Your Minimum and Walk-Away Price Every remnant should have two prices in your head: the list price and the walk-away price (the lowest you’ll accept). Having both numbers predetermined prevents emotional decision-making during negotiations. Your walk-away price should cover at a minimum your material cost per square foot. Anything above that is profit on material you’ve already absorbed. For remnants that have been sitting for more than 12 months, even selling at or slightly below material cost is often the smart play — you’re recovering cash from dead inventory and freeing up valuable yard space. Don’t be afraid to negotiate, but do it from a position of knowledge. When you know exactly what a piece cost you, what comparable pieces are selling for, and what the carrying cost of keeping it another month is, negotiations become straightforward math rather than guesswork. #### Pricing Mistakes That Cost Fabricators Money After watching thousands of remnant transactions, here are the most common pricing errors we see: Pricing all remnants the same — A 30 sq ft piece of Taj Mahal quartzite is not worth the same per sq ft as a 10 sq ft piece of Uba Tuba granite. Differentiate your pricing by material quality and size. Anchoring to original project pricing — The fact that the client paid $85/sq ft for their kitchen counter doesn’t mean your remnant is worth $85/sq ft. Remnant pricing is a different market with different dynamics. Not adjusting over time — If a piece hasn’t generated inquiries in 30 days, your price is probably too high. Drop it by 10-15% and monitor the response. Sitting inventory has a real cost even if it’s invisible. Ignoring the buyer’s perspective — Your remnant is competing with the option of buying a new full slab. If the price difference isn’t compelling enough, the buyer will just go to the distributor. The remnant needs to offer real savings to be attractive. Forgetting fabrication value-adds — If you’re willing to fabricate and install the remnant (not just sell the raw material), you can charge more because you’re offering a complete solution. A remnant sold as “material only” is worth less than “material + cut to size + polished edge + delivery.” #### Use Technology to Price Consistently Manual pricing works when you have 10 remnants. When you have 50 or 100, consistency becomes a challenge. Different team members might price differently. Market conditions change and old prices don’t get updated. Competitive pricing data isn’t tracked. Stone Project helps you solve this with built-in inventory management that tracks your cost basis, market pricing, and time in inventory for every piece. You can set pricing rules by material category, automatically apply age-based discounts, and see at a glance which pieces are overpriced relative to their inquiry rate. “The difference between a remnant that sells in a week and one that sits for six months usually isn’t the material — it’s the price. Get the pricing right, and almost every piece will find a buyer.” Your remnant yard is an asset, not a liability.

But if you’re honest with yourself, how many leads have you lost this month because you forgot to follow up? Most countertop fabricators are skilled craftspeople running their business on a combination of memory, text messages, sticky notes, and maybe a spreadsheet they update when they remember. And every single day, that system is costing them money they’ll never know they lost. The reality is harsh but simple: fabricators without a CRM lose an estimated 20-30% of their potential revenue because leads fall through the cracks. That’s not a guess — it’s a pattern we’ve seen across hundreds of fabrication shops. The good news? Fixing this problem doesn’t require hiring a sales team or getting an MBA. It requires one thing: a system that tracks your clients, quotes, and follow-ups so nothing gets forgotten. #### The Invisible Revenue Leak in Every Fabrication Shop Let’s paint a picture most fabricators will recognize. It’s Tuesday afternoon, and you’re templating a kitchen in a subdivision across town. Your phone buzzes — a homeowner found your shop on Google and wants a quote for their bathroom vanity. You can’t answer because your hands are covered in template material and you’re mid-measurement. You tell yourself you’ll call back later. Later never comes. By Wednesday, you’re back in the shop fabricating. By Thursday, that homeowner has already gotten a quote from the fabricator who answered their call. That $2,800 vanity project? Gone. And you didn’t even know you lost it because it was never in your system to begin with. This scenario plays out in some version at every fabrication shop that doesn’t have a CRM. It’s not that fabricators are careless — it’s that their day-to-day work is physically demanding and mentally consuming. When you’re running a bridge saw, fitting a mitered edge, or managing a crew of installers, remembering to call back a lead from two days ago is the first thing to slip. #### What a CRM Actually Does for a Fabricator The term “CRM” — Customer Relationship Management — sounds corporate and complicated. It’s not. For a fabrication shop, a CRM is simply a system that keeps track of every person who contacts you and every interaction you have with them. Think of it as the world’s most reliable memory. Here’s what a CRM does in practice for a countertop business: Captures every lead automatically — Whether someone calls, emails, or fills out a contact form, they’re logged in one place. No more scraps of paper or texts you forget to save. Tracks every conversation — You can see the full history with any client: when they first reached out, what they asked for, which quotes you sent, what they said, and where things stand right now. Reminds you to follow up — The system knows when a quote has been sitting unanswered for three days and nudges you to pick up the phone. These follow-ups are where most deals are won or lost. Shows your pipeline at a glance — Instead of guessing whether next month will be busy or dead, you can see exactly how many active quotes are out, their total value, and the probability of closing each one. Keeps client info organized — Contact details, addresses, project notes, material preferences, photos — all in one place, accessible from your phone on the job site. #### The Real Numbers: What Leads Cost You When They Slip Away Let’s get specific with the math, because vague claims about “lost revenue” don’t hit home until you see your own numbers reflected back at you. The average countertop fabrication project in the US ranges from $3,000 to $6,000, depending on material and complexity. Let’s use a conservative $4,500 average. Most shops report a quote-to-close rate of about 30-40%. And here’s the painful part: industry surveys consistently show that 35-45% of quotes never receive a follow-up. Let’s say your shop generates 20 leads per month. Without a CRM, here’s what typically happens: 20 leads come in You respond to 15 of them (5 slip through the cracks — missed calls, forgotten voicemails) You send 12 quotes (3 leads weren’t qualified or you were too busy) You follow up on 7 of those quotes (the other 5 just sit there) You close 3-4 projects Now compare that to a shop using a CRM: 20 leads come in — all captured automatically You respond to all 20 (the system reminds you) You send 16 quotes (more qualified conversations because nothing was lost) You follow up on all 16 (automated follow-ups for the ones you’d normally forget) You close 6-7 projects That’s nearly double the closed deals from the same number of incoming leads. At $4,500 per project, the difference is $13,500 to $18,000 per month — or $162,000 to $216,000 per year. And that’s without spending a single dollar on additional marketing. #### Why Generic CRMs Don’t Work for Fabricators At this point, you might be thinking: “I tried Salesforce once” or “We set up HubSpot and nobody used it.” You’re not alone. Generic CRMs are designed for software companies, real estate agents, and sales teams that live in front of a computer all day. They’re overcomplicated, expensive, and completely disconnected from how a fabrication shop actually operates. A fabricator’s workflow is unique. Your “sales pipeline” isn’t a series of emails and demos — it’s a physical process: lead inquiry, site measurement, template, material selection, quote, approval, fabrication, installation, and payment. A CRM that doesn’t understand this workflow creates more work instead of less. You need a system where: The CRM connects to your quoting tool so you can generate a quote directly from a client record Quote approvals trigger scheduling so fabrication and installation get booked automatically Client conversations, project files, and payment records are all in one place — accessible from your phone on the job site You can see your kanban board of projects moving through stages without switching between three different apps This is exactly why Stone Project built its CRM specifically for the stone countertop industry. It’s not a generic tool that you have to bend and customize until it sort of works. It’s designed from day one around the fabricator’s workflow. #### Five Signs Your Shop Needs a CRM Yesterday Not sure if a CRM would actually make a difference for your operation? Here are five signs that you’re losing money without one: ##### 1. You’ve Ever Said “I Forgot to Call Them Back” Even once is too many times. Every forgotten callback is a potential $4,500 project that walked to your competitor. A CRM surfaces overdue follow-ups so you never have to rely on memory. ##### 2. Your Quote Follow-Up Rate Is Below 80% If you’re not following up on at least 80% of the quotes you send, you’re leaving money on the table. Most homeowners don’t say no — they just didn’t get around to deciding, and nobody reminded them. A simple follow-up email or call three days after sending a quote can increase your close rate by 25-35%. ##### 3. You Can’t Tell Me Your Pipeline Value Right Now If someone asked you “How much revenue is in your pipeline for the next 60 days?”, could you answer within 10 seconds? If not, you’re flying blind. A CRM gives you a real-time view of every open opportunity, its value, and its probability of closing. ##### 4. Client Information Lives in Multiple Places If a client’s phone number is in your phone contacts, their address is on a sticky note, their material preference is in a text thread, and their quote is in an email — you have a problem. When information is scattered, things get lost, quotes have errors, and you look unprofessional. ##### 5. You Can’t Tell Which Marketing Channels Work Are your Google Ads generating actual jobs, or just tire-kickers? Is that home show booth worth the $2,000 investment? Without tracking where leads come from and which ones close, you’re spending marketing dollars with zero accountability. #### What You Can Expect in the First 90 Days Implementing a CRM isn’t an overnight transformation, but the results come faster than most fabricators expect. Here’s a realistic timeline based on what we’ve seen: Week 1-2: You enter your existing contacts and active quotes. This alone creates clarity — most shops discover they have quotes sitting unanswered that they completely forgot about. Those “found” opportunities often close quickly with a simple follow-up call. Week 3-4: New leads start being captured systematically. You develop the habit of logging a quick note after every call. Your response time to inquiries drops from hours (or days) to minutes. Month 2: Automated follow-ups start doing their work. Quotes that would have died get a second chance. Your pipeline view shows you exactly what’s coming and what needs attention. You start noticing which lead sources produce the best clients. Month 3: The compounding effect kicks in. Your close rate has improved because nothing gets forgotten. Your average project value may increase because organized shops negotiate better and present more professionally. Repeat clients are easier to manage because their history is at your fingertips. “I used to think a CRM was for big companies with sales teams. Turns out, it’s even more valuable for a small shop where the owner is the salesperson, the project manager, and the installer. There’s just too much to remember without a system.” #### Stop Losing Revenue to Disorganization Every fabrication shop has two types of costs: the ones you can see on a P&L statement, and the invisible ones. Material costs, labor, rent — those are obvious. But the revenue you lose from missed follow-ups, forgotten leads, and disorganized client information is invisible. It doesn’t show up on any report because it never happened. And that’s exactly what makes it so dangerous. A CRM designed for your specific industry eliminates these invisible costs. It turns chaos into a system, makes sure every lead gets a response, every quote gets a follow-up, and every project moves smoothly from first contact to final payment. Stone Project combines CRM, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and inventory management in one platform built for stone fabricators. No more switching between apps. No more leads slipping through the cracks. No more guessing whether next month will be busy or slow. The math is clear: even recovering one or two lost deals per month more than pays for itself. The only real cost is continuing to operate without one.

Every year brings new materials, new design preferences, and new client expectations that directly impact how fabricators bid, cut, and install. If you’re not paying attention to what homeowners and designers are demanding in 2026, you’re going to be caught flat-footed when the phone rings. Here’s a deep dive into the trends shaping kitchen renovations this year, what they mean for your fabrication business, and how to position yourself to profit from every single one. Whether you’re a one-man shop or running a team of fifteen, understanding these trends isn’t optional — it’s how you stay booked through the year. And if you’re looking for a platform that helps you manage inventory, pricing, quoting, and scheduling all in one place, Stone Project was built specifically for fabricators like you. #### Porcelain Slabs Are Surging — And Fabricators Need to Adapt Porcelain countertops have been gaining ground for the past few years, but 2026 is the year they’ve truly gone mainstream. According to the Freedonia Group, porcelain slab demand in North America has grown by over 18% year-over-year since 2024. Lighter, thinner, and more versatile than traditional stone, porcelain offers homeowners a durable surface that resists UV, heat, and staining — all at a competitive price point. For fabricators, porcelain requires a different approach. You need specialized blades and tooling to cut large-format slabs without chipping or cracking. The adhesive and support systems differ from granite or quartz installations. If you haven’t already invested in the right equipment and training, now is the time. Shops that can handle porcelain alongside natural stone are winning more bids because they offer designers a one-stop solution. The business opportunity is clear: porcelain remnants are also becoming valuable. Those offcuts from a 126″ x 63″ slab can easily become bathroom vanities, laundry room counters, or fireplace surrounds. Track every piece in your inventory and list them for sale — you’d be surprised how quickly they move when priced right. #### Bold Veining Is Back — And Clients Want the Drama After several years of minimalist, solid-color quartz dominating the market, the pendulum has swung decisively back toward dramatic veining. Calacatta-inspired patterns, Statuario marble looks, and exotic quartzite slabs with bold movement are the most requested materials in design consultations. The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) reports that 62% of designers specified dramatic veining patterns in their 2026 projects, up from 41% just two years ago. This trend directly impacts how you source, store, and sell material. Bold veining means each slab is unique — clients want to see the actual slab they’re getting, not just a sample. This puts a premium on your photography and inventory presentation. Fabricators who photograph their slabs well and make them easy to browse are closing more deals than those relying on supplier catalogs. For remnant sellers, this is excellent news. A dramatic piece of Calacatta Gold or Blue Bahia quartzite — even a small remnant — attracts attention and commands premium pricing. A 15 sq ft piece of exotic material that would sit unnoticed in a plain-Jane market now gets homeowners excited about accent walls, coffee tables, and powder room vanities. ##### How to Capitalize on the Veining Trend Invest time in proper slab photography. Natural lighting, wet the surface to bring out the veining, and capture both full-slab and close-up shots. Use your inventory management tool to tag materials by veining pattern — “dramatic,” “subtle,” “bookmatched” — so you can quickly pull options when a designer calls asking for something specific. #### Waterfall Edges Are Everywhere — And They’re Getting More Complex The waterfall edge — where the countertop material continues vertically down the side of an island or peninsula — has evolved from a luxury feature to a standard expectation in mid-to-high-end kitchens. Houzz’s 2026 Kitchen Trends Report found that 54% of kitchen renovations over $30,000 now include at least one waterfall panel, and the designs are getting more sophisticated. Double waterfall islands, mitered returns with bookmatched veining, and waterfall panels that wrap around seating areas are all increasing in demand. From a fabrication standpoint, waterfall edges require precise mitering, careful vein-matching across the seam, and expert installation skills. A poorly matched seam on a $15,000 island is a callback waiting to happen. This means your team’s skill level directly translates to whether you can command premium pricing for these installations or lose the bid to a competitor who can. The material consumption for waterfall projects is significantly higher than standard countertops. A single island with double waterfalls might require an entire slab plus portions of a second. This creates larger, more usable remnants — pieces that are perfect for smaller projects. Smart fabricators track these offcuts and list them immediately while the material is still trending. #### Integrated Sinks and Seamless Designs Integrated sinks — where the basin is fabricated from the same material as the countertop — are gaining traction in 2026, particularly in quartz and solid surface materials. Homeowners love the seamless look and easy-clean profile. According to the NAHB, integrated sink requests have doubled since 2023, driven by the broader shift toward minimalist, easy-to-maintain kitchen designs. For fabricators, this means more CNC work and potentially new fabrication techniques. If you’re a granite or marble shop that hasn’t ventured into integrated basins, consider partnering with a solid surface fabricator or investing in the routing capabilities to offer this in-house. The margins on integrated sinks are strong — typically 40-60% above a standard undermount installation — and they differentiate your shop from competitors who only offer traditional cutouts. From a quoting perspective, make sure your pricing tools can handle the complexity of integrated sink options. You need to account for material waste, additional fabrication time, and the higher skill level required. Having a quoting system that lets you build these as line items with accurate pricing means faster turnaround on bids and fewer profit-eating surprises mid-project. #### Sustainable Materials and Recycled Content Are No Longer Niche Sustainability has moved from a selling point to an expectation. The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) reports that 73% of clients now ask about the environmental impact of their countertop material. Recycled glass surfaces, locally sourced stone, and manufacturers with transparent sustainability practices are winning more specifications from both designers and environmentally conscious homeowners. Several major quartz manufacturers have launched lines with high recycled content in 2026, and fabricators who stock these options are seeing increased demand. But sustainability isn’t just about the material itself — it’s about reducing waste in your own operation. Every remnant you sell instead of sending to a landfill is a sustainability story you can tell your clients. This creates a natural synergy between responsible fabrication and profitability. Listing your remnants on a marketplace, optimizing slab layouts to minimize waste, and tracking your waste-to-sales ratio gives you both an environmental and financial edge. Clients — especially those in the design community — actively prefer working with fabricators who demonstrate sustainable practices. #### Mixed Materials and Multi-Surface Kitchens Gone are the days of one material throughout the kitchen. In 2026, designers are specifying different surfaces for different zones: quartzite on the main counters for durability, marble on the island for drama, and butcher block on a prep station for warmth. This mixed-material approach means more complexity per project — and more opportunity for fabricators who can handle it. From a business perspective, multi-material kitchens increase your average ticket size. A project that might have been $6,000 for a single quartz countertop becomes $12,000-$15,000 when it includes multiple materials, each with different edge profiles, finishes, and installation requirements. The key is having a quoting system that handles this complexity efficiently. If it takes you two hours to manually calculate a multi-material quote, you’re losing money before the project even starts. Remnant inventory plays directly into this trend. A homeowner who wants a small marble accent alongside their main quartz counters doesn’t need a full slab of marble — they need a remnant. If you have that 12 sq ft piece of Calacatta sitting in your yard, you can offer it at a fraction of full-slab pricing while still making a healthy margin. #### How Smart Fabricators Are Preparing for 2026 Trends are only valuable if you act on them. Here’s what the most successful fabrication shops are doing right now to capitalize on these shifts: Upgrading their inventory systems — Moving from spreadsheets and memory to digital inventory tracking. Knowing exactly what you have, where it is, and what it’s worth is the foundation of a profitable operation. Investing in photography — Every slab and remnant gets professional-quality photos. This alone increases inquiry rates by up to 3x according to marketplace data. Streamlining their quoting process — Using digital drawing tools with integrated pricing so they can turn around accurate quotes in minutes instead of hours. The first fabricator to reply usually wins the bid. Training on new materials — Porcelain, ultra-compact surfaces, and recycled content materials all have different fabrication requirements. Shops that cross-train their teams are more versatile and more profitable. Tracking their numbers — Revenue per material type, average project value, quote-to-close ratio, remnant sell-through rate. You can’t improve what you don’t measure. #### Position Your Shop for a Record-Breaking Year The fabricators who thrive in 2026 won’t just be great at cutting stone — they’ll be great at running a business. That means having systems in place to manage clients, price materials accurately, quote jobs fast, schedule efficiently, and sell every usable piece of material that passes through your shop. The trends we’ve covered — porcelain growth, bold veining, waterfall complexity, integrated sinks, sustainability demands, and mixed-material kitchens — all point in the same direction: fabrication is getting more complex, and the tools you use need to keep up. “The shops that are growing fastest aren’t necessarily the ones with the most expensive equipment — they’re the ones with the best systems for managing their entire operation from lead to installation.” Stone Project was built specifically for countertop fabricators who want to modernize their operation without the complexity of cobbling together five different software tools. From inventory management and remnant sales to CRM, quoting, scheduling, and invoicing — it’s everything you need in one platform designed by people who understand the stone industry. The trends are clear. The opportunity is real. The only question is whether your shop is ready to capture it.

URL: https://www.stoneproject.app/blog/free-vs-pro-plan-remnant-finder-fabricators Back to blog 2026-04-03 ### Free vs Pro: Which Stone Project Plan Is Right for Your Shop? You’re running a stone fabrication business with spreadsheets, sticky notes, group texts, and a calculator. You’re losing money every single day — and you might not even realize it. A missed follow-up here, a forgotten quote there, a remnant that sat in your yard for six months because nobody knew it existed. It adds up to tens of thousands of dollars a year in lost revenue. What if there was a single platform that handled everything — your inventory, your clients, your quotes, your drawings, your schedule, your invoices, your payments, and your analytics? Not a generic business tool retrofitted for stone. A platform built from the ground up for countertop fabricators. That’s Stone Project. And you can try it free today. #### There’s Nothing Else Like It — Seriously Let’s address the elephant in the room. You’ve probably looked at other software options. Maybe you tried a generic CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot. Maybe you use QuickBooks for invoicing and a separate calendar app for scheduling. Maybe you bought a drawing tool that doesn’t talk to your quoting system. Here’s the problem: none of those tools were built for stone fabrication. Salesforce doesn’t know what a remnant is. HubSpot can’t draw a countertop layout with edge profiles and cutouts. Google Calendar can’t optimize your installation routes. And your quoting spreadsheet definitely can’t auto-calculate pricing based on material type, square footage, and edge profiles. Stone Project is the only all-in-one platform that combines: Remnant Marketplace — list and sell surplus material to a national audience Full CRM — track every lead from first inquiry to completed installation Countertop Drawing Tool — draw layouts with cutouts, edge profiles, backsplashes, and auto-pricing Professional Quoting — generate branded PDF quotes in minutes, not hours Invoicing & Payments — send invoices, accept payments, set up payment plans Scheduling & Route Optimization — plan your team’s day and optimize driving routes Time Clock — track employee hours with clock in/out and manager review Client Portal — give clients a professional dashboard to view projects, approve quotes, and pay invoices Analytics & Reports — sqft sales reports, financial dashboards, pipeline analytics QuickBooks Integration — automatic two-way sync with your accounting software AR Measurement — measure countertops with your phone camera using augmented reality Offline Mode — keep working even without internet on job sites All of this in one app that works on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, and web browser. No other software on the market does this for the stone industry. Zero. We checked. #### The Free Plan: Start Listing Remnants Today Not ready to commit? No problem. Stone Project’s Free plan gives you real value from day one — no credit card required, no time limit, no catch. With the Free plan, you get: List your remnants on the marketplace — get your surplus material in front of buyers actively searching for affordable countertops Search and discover — browse remnants from other fabricators, find materials for small projects at a fraction of the cost Nearby search — find remnants and fabrication shops near your location Company profile — set up your business profile so buyers and professionals can find you Basic inventory management — catalog your pieces with photos, dimensions, and material details The Free plan is perfect for fabricators who want to stop throwing money away. That pile of remnants in your yard? Each one is a potential sale. The average fabricator wastes 30% of each slab — and with remnants ranging from $20 to $75 per square foot, a yard full of 50 pieces could represent $10,000 to $50,000 in untapped revenue. One fabricator listed 35 pieces in his first week and sold $12,000 worth of material in his first month. The Free plan made that possible. #### The Pro Plan: Run Your Entire Business From One App When you’re ready to transform your entire operation — not just your remnant yard — the Pro plan unlocks everything Stone Project has to offer. This is where the real magic happens. ##### What Pro Includes (Everything in Free, Plus:) CRM & Client Management Track every client, contact, and lead.

A CRM is $50-150/user/month. Quoting software is $30-100/month. Scheduling tools are $20-50/user/month. Invoicing is $15-40/month. A marketplace listing is $50-200/month. Add them up and you’re looking at $200-500+ per month for a patchwork of tools that don’t talk to each other. Stone Project replaces all of them for $129.99/month for one user during the first 12 months, then $149.99/month. Larger teams are priced by tier, not per user. And everything is connected — your quotes feed into your invoices, your schedule links to your projects, your time clock informs your cost tracking, your inventory syncs with your marketplace listing. #### The Real ROI: Numbers That Matter Let’s do the math on what Stone Project actually saves a typical fabrication shop: Remnant sales: $3,000-12,000/month — material that was collecting dust, now generating revenue Time saved on quoting: 5-10 hours/week — at $50/hour, that’s $1,000-2,000/month in recovered productivity Fewer missed follow-ups: 2-3 extra closed deals/month — at $3,000-5,000 average ticket, that’s $6,000-15,000/month Reduced payroll errors: $400-3,000/month — accurate time tracking eliminates overpayment Fuel savings from route optimization: $200-500/month — less driving, more efficient daily routes Eliminated software costs: $150-400/month — replace 3-5 separate tools with one Conservative total: $10,000+ per month in combined value against a Solo plan of $129.99/month for the first 12 months, then $149.99/month. And we haven’t even counted the intangible benefits: looking more professional to clients, reducing stress from disorganized operations, and having real data to make business decisions instead of guessing. #### Why Fabricators Who Don’t Go Digital Are Falling Behind The stone countertop industry is changing fast. Homeowners research online before visiting a showroom — 62% of them, according to recent surveys. Contractors expect professional quotes delivered quickly, not hand-drawn sketches faxed three days later. Property managers want client portals and online payments, not phone tag and paper checks. Your competitors are going digital. The shops that adopt technology are winning the best projects, closing deals faster, and running more efficiently. The shops that stick with “the way we’ve always done it” are losing clients to fabricators who send branded quotes in 10 minutes instead of 3 days. This isn’t about being tech-savvy. It’s about being competitive. And Stone Project makes the transition painless — it’s designed for fabricators, not IT professionals. If you can use a smartphone, you can run your business on Stone Project. #### Start Free. Upgrade When You’re Ready.

That’s thousands of dollars sitting in your yard — or worse, in a dumpster. Here are 5 proven ways to monetize your remnants: ##### 1. List them on a marketplace Platforms like Stone Project connect your surplus material to buyers actively searching for affordable countertops. What’s collecting dust for you is someone else’s dream kitchen upgrade. ##### 2. Create sample pieces Cut small samples from remnants and offer them to designers and showrooms. It’s a low-cost marketing strategy that drives full-slab sales. ##### 3. Offer “remnant specials” for small projects Bathroom vanities, laundry counters, fireplace surrounds — these projects rarely need a full slab. Package remnants as “small project specials” at a premium margin. ##### 4. Build relationships with local contractors Handymen and small contractors need affordable material for repairs and small jobs. Become their go-to source. ##### 5. Use remnants for your own marketing Before/after photos of remnant projects make incredible social media content. Show the transformation from “leftover” to “luxury.” Stop throwing money away.

How many quotes did you send last month? What’s your close rate? Which materials generate the most profit? How’s your team’s productivity trending?

A sloppy spreadsheet quote with misaligned columns and a generic header says one thing. A professional, branded PDF with your logo, clean layout, and detailed line items says something entirely different. Clients trust businesses that look professional. And in an industry where a single kitchen job can be $5,000 to $15,000+, that trust directly translates to closed deals. #### Fully Branded PDF Quotes Stone Project generates beautiful, customizable PDF quotes that you can send to clients directly from the app. Every aspect is configurable: ##### Branding & Layout Your logo — positioned left, center, or right Company information — name, address, phone, email, website Custom colors — match your brand palette Font selection — choose the typeface and size for a polished look Custom header title — “Estimate,” “Quotation,” “Proposal” — whatever fits your style ##### Content Options Client details — name, address, contact information Project information — project name, address, deadline Countertop drawings — embed the actual layout with measurements Itemized pricing — materials, edge profiles, cutouts, fabrication, installation Tax calculation — automatic based on your tax rate settings Terms & conditions — custom text that appears on every quote Thank you message — personalized closing message Custom footer — additional notes, payment instructions, warranty info #### Professional Invoice PDFs Invoices follow the same professional standards: Color-coded status — paid (green), sent (blue), overdue (red) for instant recognition Payment history — shows all payments received against the invoice Balance due — calculated automatically Payment instructions — tell clients exactly how to pay #### Send Directly from the App Generate a PDF and send it to your client — all without leaving Stone Project: Create or finalize your quote Tap Send Quote The client receives a branded email with the PDF attached They can also view and approve the quote online through the Client Portal #### Quote Workflow Automation Track every quote through its lifecycle: Draft: Work in progress, not yet sent Sent: Delivered to client, awaiting response Accepted: Client approved — triggers invoice creation and project stage advance Rejected: Client declined — automatically schedules a follow-up Expired: Auto-expires after configurable period Automatic follow-up reminders nudge clients who haven’t responded. You set the rules; the system does the follow-up. #### Look Professional, Close More Deals Professional PDF quotes and invoices are included with Stone Project Pro.

But the moment you hire a second person — a fabricator, an installer, an office manager — you need systems. Who can see what? Who can edit quotes? Who should access financial data? Most fabricators solve this with a shared login. Everyone uses the same account. Everyone sees everything. And when something goes wrong, nobody knows who did what. #### Role-Based Team Management Stone Project’s team management system gives every team member their own account with role-based permissions. Three roles are available: Owner: Full access to everything — billing, settings, team management, all data Admin: Full operational access — can manage clients, projects, quotes, scheduling, and team members Member: Customizable access — see only what they need for their role #### Granular Permissions by Category For team members, you can control access at a granular level across 10 permission categories: Quotes: Can they create, view, edit, or send quotes? Orders: Can they manage orders and track fulfillment? Projects: Can they access the project pipeline and kanban board? Pieces: Can they add, edit, or delete inventory items? Calendar: Can they view and manage the schedule? Clients: Can they access client information and contacts? Team: Can they invite or manage other team members? Settings: Can they change company settings? Billing: Can they view invoices and financial data? Analytics: Can they access reports and dashboards? This means your installer can check the schedule and view project details without accidentally seeing your profit margins. Your office manager can manage clients and send quotes without accessing billing settings. #### Easy Team Invitations Adding team members takes seconds: Go to Settings Team Tap Invite Member Enter their email and select a role They receive an invitation email with a link to join The invitation is tied to your company. When they accept, they automatically see your company’s data based on their permissions. #### Audit Trail Every action by every team member is tracked in the activity log. Know exactly who created a quote, who changed a project status, who updated a price. Full accountability without micromanagement. #### Scale Your Team with Confidence Team management is available in Stone Project Pro, with plans supporting 1, 3, 5, or 10 team members. Get started and give your team the tools they need — with the guardrails to keep things organized.

Your shop manager is on a Windows desktop. Your installer checks the schedule on an Android tablet in the truck. And you? You’re reviewing numbers on your MacBook at home. If your business software only runs on one platform, someone on your team is always left out. #### One App, Every Platform Stone Project runs natively on: iPhone & iPad — Full iOS experience with ARKit measurement, Touch ID/Face ID login Android phones & tablets — ARCore measurement, Material Design interface Windows — Desktop app with keyboard shortcuts, wide-screen layouts macOS — Native Mac experience with trackpad support Web browser — Access from any computer with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge This isn’t a watered-down mobile web app. Every platform gets a native, optimized experience that takes advantage of the device’s capabilities. #### Real-Time Sync Across All Devices Start a countertop drawing on your phone at the client’s kitchen. Switch to your shop desktop to refine the measurements and add edge profiles. Check the quote status from your tablet during lunch. Everything syncs instantly across all your devices. There’s no “export and import.” No emailing files to yourself. No version conflicts. Every device sees the same data in real-time. #### Platform-Specific Features Each platform takes advantage of its unique capabilities: iOS: ARKit + LIDAR measurement, haptic feedback, Siri Shortcuts, HealthKit integration for step tracking during installations Android: ARCore measurement, home screen widgets, customizable notifications Windows: Keyboard shortcuts for power users, multi-window support, automatic updates Web: No installation required, works on Chromebooks and Linux, keyboard shortcuts #### One Subscription, All Platforms Your Stone Project subscription works on every platform. No extra cost for desktop access. No separate “web version” upgrade. One account, one price, every device. #### Get Started on Any Device Download Stone Project on your preferred platform — or all of them. Visit the download page to get started.

No Problem. How Offline Mode Keeps Your Stone Business Running #### The Reality of On-Site Work Stone fabricators don’t work from a desk. You’re at a client’s home measuring their kitchen. You’re in a warehouse checking inventory. You’re on a job site where cell service is spotty at best. If your business app only works with internet, it doesn’t work where you need it most. That’s why Stone Project was built with offline mode from the ground up — not as an afterthought, but as a core feature. #### What Works Offline When you lose internet connection, Stone Project automatically switches to offline mode. Here’s what you can still do: Browse your inventory — view all your pieces, slabs, and remnants with full details and photos Access client information — names, contacts, addresses, project history View project details — drawings, notes, quotes, status Reference data — materials, colors, origins, stone types, pricing Take measurements — AR and manual measurement tools work without internet Create and edit records — add notes, update statuses, capture data #### How It Works: Smart Caching Stone Project uses Hive, a high-performance local database, to cache your business data on your device. The caching is intelligent: Automatic: Data is cached as you use the app — no manual “download for offline” step Selective: The most relevant data (your pieces, your clients, your projects) is prioritized Lightweight: Cached data is compressed and doesn’t eat up your phone storage #### Seamless Sync When You Reconnect The moment your device gets internet again, Stone Project automatically syncs everything you did offline: New records are uploaded Edits are merged with the server Conflicts are resolved using a last-write-wins strategy Critical operations (quotes, orders) queue up and process in order You don’t need to press a sync button. You don’t need to remember what you did offline. It just works. #### Connectivity Status Indicator The app always shows your connectivity status — online, offline, or syncing. When offline, a subtle indicator lets you know you’re working with cached data. When syncing, you see progress in real time. #### Perfect for Field Teams If you have measurement teams, installers, or sales reps in the field, offline mode is a game-changer. They can: Look up client details and project specs at the job site Check inventory availability without calling the office Take measurements and photos that sync automatically when they’re back in range #### Always Available Offline mode is included in both free and Pro plans. Download Stone Project and work confidently anywhere — even without WiFi.

Not every client can — or wants to — pay the full amount upfront. But as a fabricator, you need cash flow to buy materials and pay your team. The solution? Structured payment plans that give your clients flexibility while keeping your cash flow predictable. #### Built-In Payment Plans Stone Project lets you create installment-based payment plans directly from any invoice. Here’s how it works: Set the frequency: weekly, biweekly, or monthly installments Define custom amounts for each installment — split equally or customize (e.g., 50% upfront, 25% at fabrication, 25% at installation) Choose start dates and auto-generate the installment schedule The system validates that all installments add up to the invoice total When a client makes a payment, the installment is marked as paid automatically. Overdue installments are flagged. You always know where you stand. #### Multiple Payment Methods Accept the payment methods your clients prefer: Credit card — Process online through QuickBooks Payments ACH / Bank transfer — Lower fees for larger amounts Cash — Record manually for in-person payments Check — Track check numbers and clearance PIX — For Brazilian clients (instant bank transfer) #### Automatic Payment Reminders Stone Project sends automated reminders for upcoming and overdue payments. Your client gets a polished email with a link to view their invoice and pay online — no awkward phone calls needed. #### Collect Reviews That Win You More Jobs Here’s a growth tip most fabricators miss: the best time to ask for a review is immediately after a successful installation. The client is excited about their new countertops, and they’re most likely to leave a positive review. Stone Project automates this with a two-step review funnel: ##### Step 1: Internal Review After a project is completed, the system automatically sends your client a review invitation. They rate their experience on a simple scale. ##### Step 2: Google Review Redirect If the rating is 4 or 5 stars, Stone Project immediately prompts the client to leave a public Google review — with a direct link to your Google Business profile. Positive reviews go public. Negative feedback stays private for you to address. ##### Smart Timing Configurable delay after project completion (default: 24 hours) The system checks for duplicate requests — no client gets spammed Emails are branded with your company name and logo Multi-language support — reviews go out in the client’s preferred language #### Why Reviews Matter for Fabricators Google reviews directly impact your local search ranking. More positive reviews = more visibility when homeowners search for “countertop fabricator near me.” It’s the most cost-effective marketing you can do. #### Get Paid Faster, Get Reviewed More Payment plans and automated review collection are included with Stone Project Pro. Start using them today and watch your cash flow and your Google rating improve.

But here’s the truth: every stone fabricator is running a sales pipeline, whether they realize it or not. That client who called for a quote last week? That’s a lead. The kitchen countertop you measured on Tuesday? That’s a deal in progress. The installation scheduled for next Friday? That’s revenue about to close. Without a system, these deals live in your head, in scattered text messages, and on sticky notes. Deals slip through the cracks. Follow-ups get forgotten. Revenue gets lost. #### Visual Pipeline with Kanban Board Stone Project’s CRM includes a drag-and-drop Kanban board that gives you a visual overview of every project in your pipeline. Default stages follow the stone fabrication workflow: Lead: New inquiry or referral Design: Measurement and drawing phase Quoted: Quote sent to client, awaiting approval Approved: Client approved, ready for production Production: Cutting, polishing, edge work in progress Installation: Scheduled or in-progress installation Completed: Job done, ready for billing and review Drag a project from one stage to the next. Set WIP limits to prevent bottlenecks — if your fabrication queue is full, the board shows it visually. #### Automatic Stage Transitions The Kanban board isn’t just visual — it’s smart. Configure automatic transitions based on real events: Quote created Project moves from Lead to Design Quote accepted Project moves from Quoted to Approved Fabrication activity scheduled Approved to Production Installation completed Installation to Completed You can also configure auto-actions for each stage — send an email to the client, notify your team, create a follow-up activity, or request a review when the job is complete. #### Complete Client Profiles Every client has a detailed profile with: Multiple contacts — homeowner, designer, contractor, property manager Multiple addresses — billing, shipping, project site Communication history — every message, quote, invoice, and note in one timeline Project history — every past and current project #### Import Your Existing Clients Don’t start from scratch. Import clients from: CSV files — Export from your current system and import into Stone Project Phone contacts — Scan your device contacts and import directly QuickBooks — Import your existing QB customers with one click #### Project Files & Notes Attach files to any project — drawings, photos, contracts, permits, material specs. Organize files in folders. Add notes that your entire team can see. Everything stays connected to the project and the client. #### Never Lose a Deal Again The CRM and Kanban board are included with Stone Project Pro.

They’re too good to throw away but too small for most projects. So they sit there, collecting dust, taking up space, and slowly losing value. What if you could turn those remnants into cash — and find exactly the piece you need for your next bathroom vanity at a fraction of the cost? #### The Stone Project Marketplace Stone Project’s built-in marketplace connects stone fabricators, dealers, and homeowners in a searchable network of available stone pieces. List your remnants, search for what you need, and deal directly — no middleman. ##### List Your Inventory Add pieces with photos, dimensions, material type, color, finish, and price Categorize by stone type — granite, marble, quartz, quartzite, soapstone, onyx, and more Set status: available, reserved, or sold Track across multiple facilities if you have more than one yard ##### Search & Discovery Filter by everything: Material, color, size, price range, finish type Search nearby: Find pieces within a specific radius of your location using GPS View company profiles: See the seller’s full inventory, ratings, and contact info Favorites: Save pieces you’re interested in for later ##### Reach More Buyers Your listings are visible to every Stone Project user — fabricators, dealers, and homeowners searching for stone Piece analytics show you how many views, clicks, and inquiries each listing gets A heatmap view shows where your views are coming from geographically Embeddable widget: Add your Stone Project inventory to your own website #### QR Code Labels for Physical Tracking Every piece in your inventory can have a printed QR code label. Stick it on the slab in your yard. When someone scans it with their phone, they see the full listing — material, dimensions, price, photos. Perfect for walk-in customers or yard organization. Generate labels in multiple sizes Print as PDF or send directly to a thermal label printer Batch print for entire inventory sections #### Turn Waste Into Revenue Industry research shows that fabricators waste 20-30% of purchased material as remnants. At current stone prices, that’s thousands of dollars sitting in your yard. The marketplace turns that waste into a revenue stream. #### Free to List, Free to Search Basic marketplace features are free for all users. List your pieces, search for materials, and connect with buyers. Upgrade to Pro for advanced analytics, facility management, and the full pricing system. Start listing today.

Material costs change, new edge profiles get added, fabrication labor rates fluctuate. Every time a customer asks for a quote, you’re doing mental math or digging through outdated price lists. The result? Inconsistent pricing, missed markups, and quotes that take way too long to prepare. #### A Complete Pricing System Built for Stone Stone Project includes a comprehensive pricing library designed specifically for the countertop fabrication industry. Configure once, price instantly on every quote. ##### Materials & Material Types Set up every material you work with — granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, porcelain, solid surface, and more Organize by material type, color, and brand Create price groups for tiered pricing (e.g., Level 1 through Level 5) Set pricing per square foot or per slab ##### Edge Profiles Configure pricing for every edge profile you offer — eased, bullnose, ogee, mitered, pencil round, and more Separate pricing for standard edges, mitered edges, and appliance edges Price per linear foot with material-specific rates ##### Cutouts & Specialties Sink cutouts: Undermount, drop-in, farmhouse — each with its own price Cooktop cutouts: Standard sizes pre-configured Corner curves: Priced by radius Backsplash: Per linear foot with height options ##### Fabrication & Installation Set fabrication rates — standard, premium, and rush pricing Set installation rates with options for complexity levels Define default rates that apply automatically to new quotes ##### Custom Items Add any additional line item — delivery fees, plumbing, demolition, sealing, template charges Organize custom items by category Reorder items to match your quoting workflow #### Automatic Quote Pricing Once your pricing library is set up, quotes price themselves. Draw a countertop, select the material, choose edge profiles and cutouts — the price calculates instantly. No manual calculation needed. #### Price History & Tracking Every price change is logged with a full audit trail. See when prices changed, who changed them, and what the old values were. Export the history for analysis or accounting reviews. #### Currency, Tax & Units Configure your preferred currency, measurement unit (sq ft or sq m), tax rates, rounding rules, and markup percentages. Set payment terms that auto-populate on quotes and invoices. #### Set Up Your Pricing Library The full pricing system is included with Stone Project Pro. Download the app, configure your prices once, and never manually calculate a quote again.

The client is thrilled. But now comes the part nobody enjoys — manually entering the invoice into QuickBooks, re-typing customer details, copying line items, and reconciling payments across two systems. If you’re running a stone fabrication shop and using QuickBooks for accounting, you’re probably spending hours every week on double data entry. That ends now. #### Seamless Two-Way Sync Stone Project’s QuickBooks Online integration syncs your business data automatically. No copy-paste, no spreadsheet exports. Here’s what syncs: ##### Customers & Vendors Customers: When you add a client in Stone Project, it syncs to QuickBooks as a customer — name, email, phone, address, all mapped correctly Vendors: Your stone suppliers sync to QuickBooks as vendors, keeping your payables organized Import from QuickBooks: Already have customers in QB? Import them into Stone Project with one click ##### Quotes Estimates Every quote you send through Stone Project is automatically exported as a QuickBooks Estimate Line items, quantities, prices, tax rates — everything transfers accurately When a client accepts the quote, the estimate is automatically converted to an invoice in QuickBooks ##### Orders Invoices Orders sync as QuickBooks invoices with full line-item detail Updates flow both ways — change a price in QB, and it reflects in Stone Project Payment status stays synchronized across both systems ##### Payments & Tax Import payment methods and tax codes from QuickBooks Process payments through QB Payments (credit card, ACH, debit) Tax categories are automatically mapped between systems #### Auto-Sync Every 15 Minutes Once connected, Stone Project automatically syncs with QuickBooks every 15 minutes. Failed exports retry every hour. You set it and forget it — your books stay up to date without any manual intervention. #### Easy Setup — Connect in 2 Minutes Setting up the integration takes just a few steps: Go to Settings Integrations QuickBooks in Stone Project Click Connect to QuickBooks Authorize access through Intuit’s secure OAuth flow Map your existing products, customers, and tax codes Start syncing You can disconnect at any time, and your data in both systems remains intact. #### Financial Dashboard The integration also unlocks a QuickBooks Financial Dashboard inside Stone Project, giving you a quick view of your accounting health without switching between apps. #### Stop Doing Double Entry The QuickBooks integration is available for Stone Project Pro subscribers.

Spreadsheets for pricing. A CRM you barely use. Separate invoicing software. Paper checklists for installations. A shared Google Calendar that nobody updates. Sound familiar? Every extra tool means extra cost, extra training, and — worst of all — data that doesn’t talk to each other. Your invoice system doesn’t know about your project timeline. Your calendar doesn’t connect to your CRM. Your pricing spreadsheet is always out of date. Here are five categories of tools that Stone Project replaces with a single, integrated platform. #### 1. Quoting & Invoicing Software Replaces: Excel/Google Sheets quotes, QuickBooks estimates, separate invoicing apps Stone Project generates professional PDF quotes with your branding, line items calculated from your pricing library, and countertop drawings attached. Send them to clients directly, track status (sent, viewed, accepted, rejected), and convert accepted quotes into invoices with one tap. Need QuickBooks? The QuickBooks integration syncs customers, estimates, and invoices automatically — bi-directional, no manual entry. #### 2. CRM & Client Management Replaces: Spreadsheet contact lists, sticky notes, separate CRM software Every client, every project, every interaction — all in one place. Stone Project’s CRM includes: Kanban board for pipeline management (Lead, Design, Quoted, Production, Installed) Contact management with multiple contacts per client Communication history — messages, quotes, invoices, project notes Import from CSV or device contacts #### 3. Scheduling & Calendar Tools Replaces: Google Calendar, paper appointment books, whiteboard schedules The built-in calendar supports measurement, fabrication, installation, and delivery activity types. Smart scheduling suggests optimal times. Route optimization minimizes drive time. And everything ties back to the project it belongs to — no orphaned calendar entries. #### 4. Countertop Drawing & Design Software Replaces: CAD software, paper templates, generic design tools Purpose-built drawing tools for countertops with edge profiles, sink cutouts, backsplash specs, corner curves, and more. The AI Drawing Assistant can generate layouts from photos. AR measurement captures dimensions on-site. All drawings stay connected to the project and quote. #### 5. Inventory & Remnant Tracking Replaces: Spreadsheet inventory, photo folders, word-of-mouth remnant sales Catalog every slab and remnant with photos, dimensions, material type, color, origin, and price. Print QR code labels for easy identification in your yard. The built-in marketplace lets other fabricators and homeowners find and purchase your remnants — turning waste into revenue. Track pieces across multiple facilities, view analytics on which materials move fastest, and manage your entire inventory from your phone. #### One Platform, Every Device Stone Project works on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Web. Start a project on your phone at a client’s home, refine the drawing on your shop desktop, and check the schedule from your tablet in the truck. Everything syncs in real-time, and offline mode keeps you productive even without internet. #### Ready to Simplify? Stop paying for five tools that don’t talk to each other.

Most fabricators still rely on phone calls, printed quotes, and manual follow-ups. It works — but it’s slow, error-prone, and makes your business look outdated compared to competitors who’ve gone digital. #### Introducing the Stone Project Client Portal Every Stone Project Pro account includes a branded client portal accessible via your company’s custom subdomain. Your clients can: View and approve quotes — with detailed line items, drawings, and material selections Track project progress — see which stage their project is in (Design, Fabrication, Installation) View and pay invoices — online payment processing built in Message your team — real-time chat without phone tag Access shared files — drawings, photos, contracts, all in one place #### Magic Link Authentication — No Passwords Nobody wants another password. Stone Project’s portal uses magic links — your client clicks a link in their email, and they’re logged in instantly. Secure, simple, and zero friction. Social login (Google and Apple) is also available. #### Quote Approval That Closes Deals Faster When you send a quote through Stone Project, your client receives a beautifully formatted email with a link to review the full quote in the portal. They can: See the countertop drawing with exact measurements Review material selections and edge profiles Check the itemized pricing breakdown Accept or request changes with one click When they accept, you get an instant notification. The project automatically moves to the next stage, and if you use QuickBooks, an invoice is generated and synced automatically. #### Professional Branding The portal uses your company name, logo, and branding. Your clients see a polished, professional experience that reflects the quality of your workmanship — not a generic third-party tool. #### Automatic Follow-Ups Sent a quote and haven’t heard back? Stone Project automatically sends follow-up reminders to clients who haven’t responded. You set the timing, the system does the rest. #### Get Your Portal Running The Client Portal is included with every Stone Project Pro subscription. Set it up in your company settings, and start sending professional quotes today. Get started here.

A missed appointment or inefficient route can cost you hundreds in wasted fuel, labor, and lost opportunity. #### Intelligent Scheduling That Thinks Ahead Stone Project’s Scheduling Intelligence engine analyzes your existing commitments, team availability, and job locations to suggest the best times for new activities. It considers: Team workload: Who’s overbooked and who has capacity Geographic proximity: Group nearby jobs together Activity dependencies: Measurement before fabrication, fabrication before installation Working hours & breaks: Respect your team’s schedule #### Daily Route Optimization Every morning, your team gets an optimized daily route that minimizes drive time between appointments. The route optimization engine: Calculates the shortest path between all stops Provides turn-by-turn navigation to each location Tracks arrival times and completion status in real-time Allows on-the-fly adjustments — add or remove stops as the day changes #### Activity Types for Every Job Phase Stone Project supports activity types tailored to the stone fabrication workflow: Measurement: On-site dimension capture (integrates with AR tools) Fabrication: Workshop scheduling for cutting, polishing, and finishing Installation: On-site countertop installation with checklist Delivery: Material delivery tracking Follow-up: Post-installation quality check #### Automatic Project Stage Updates When your team completes activities, project stages update automatically. Finish a fabrication activity? The project moves from “Approved” to “Production.” Complete an installation? It moves to “Completed.” No manual status updates needed. #### Checklists & Photo Documentation Each activity includes a customizable checklist — plumbing disconnect, tearout completed, final inspection — plus the ability to attach photos for documentation. Everything is timestamped and tied to the project record. #### Reminders That Keep Everyone on Track Automated reminders go out 24 hours and 4 hours before each activity. Plus, a daily summary at 8 AM gives your team the full picture of what’s ahead. No more missed appointments. #### Try Smart Scheduling Available in Stone Project Pro.

A fraction of an inch off, and you’re looking at costly rework, wasted material, and unhappy customers. Traditional tape measures work, but they’re slow, require two people, and leave room for human error. Stone Project’s AR Measurement tools bring precision and speed together in one app — using the camera and sensors already built into your phone or tablet. #### Three Ways to Measure Stone Project offers multiple measurement methods to fit any situation: ##### 1. AR Measurement (ARKit & ARCore) Point your phone at the countertop area and tap to place measurement points. The app uses Apple ARKit (iPhone/iPad) or Google ARCore (Android) to calculate distances in real-time. Perfect for quick field measurements when you need a fast estimate. ##### 2. LIDAR Measurement (iPhone Pro & iPad Pro) If your device has a LIDAR scanner, you get millimeter-level accuracy. The LIDAR sensor creates a 3D mesh of the room, allowing you to measure countertop edges, backsplash heights, and even irregular shapes with incredible precision. ##### 3. Manual Measurement Prefer the traditional approach? Enter measurements manually with a clean, intuitive interface. The app supports both imperial (feet/inches) and metric (meters/centimeters) — switch anytime. #### From Measurement to Drawing Automatically The best part? Your AR measurements feed directly into Stone Project’s drawing tools. Measure on-site, and the app generates the countertop outline for you. Add edge profiles, cutouts, and material selections — then send a quote to your client before you even leave their kitchen. #### Reference Object Calibration For maximum accuracy, Stone Project’s reference object detector lets you calibrate the AR system using a known object (like a credit card or ruler). This ensures your measurements are precise regardless of lighting conditions or device model. #### Works Offline Too On-site with no internet? No problem. Stone Project’s offline mode stores all your measurements locally, then syncs everything once you’re back online. You’ll never lose field data again. #### Get Started AR Measurement is available for Stone Project Pro subscribers on iOS (ARKit) and Android (ARCore). Download now and leave the tape measure in the truck.

Traditionally, this means pulling out graph paper, measuring templates, or wrestling with generic CAD software that was never built for stone. The result? Hours spent on each project just to get the drawing right — time that could be spent actually fabricating and installing. #### Meet the AI Drawing Assistant Stone Project now includes a built-in AI Drawing Assistant that fundamentally changes how you create countertop layouts. Simply snap a photo of a sketch, a floor plan, or even a rough hand-drawn layout, and the AI will: Detect shapes and dimensions automatically from your image Generate a professional countertop drawing with precise measurements Add edge profiles, sink cutouts, and cooktop openings intelligently Calculate material requirements and pricing instantly #### Professional Drawing Tools Built for Stone Beyond the AI assistant, Stone Project includes a complete suite of drawing tools designed specifically for countertop fabrication: Edge Profile Library: Polished, honed, bullnose, ogee, and dozens more — all pre-built and ready to apply Sink & Appliance Cutouts: Standard sizes for undermount, drop-in, farmhouse sinks, cooktops, and more Corner Curves: Rounded corners with precise radius control Backsplash Integration: Automatically add backsplash with height and return specifications Measurement Units: Switch between imperial and metric with one tap #### From Drawing to Quote in Minutes Here’s where it gets powerful: once your drawing is complete, Stone Project automatically calculates the price based on your pricing library. Material cost, edge finishing, cutouts, installation — everything is priced and ready to present to your client as a professional quote or invoice. The entire workflow — from blank canvas to a sent quote — takes minutes instead of hours. #### Revision History & Collaboration Every drawing change is tracked with a full revision history. Need to go back to a previous version? One tap. Want to share the drawing with your team for review? Built right in. Attach the drawing to a project, and your entire team can see it from any device. #### Available on Every Device The drawing tools work on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac, and Web. Start a drawing on your phone at the client’s kitchen, then refine it on your desktop back at the shop. Everything syncs automatically. #### Try It Today The AI Drawing Assistant is available to all Stone Project Pro subscribers. Download the app and see how much time you can save on your next project.

Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Why fabricators win more jobs with on-site drawings The fastest quote almost always wins. Most stone shops still go back to the office, type measurements into a spreadsheet, redraw the countertop in another tool, calculate edges and cutouts by hand, then email a PDF — sometimes 2 or 3 days later. Stone Project collapses that into one screen, on the same iPad you used to measure. #### What you can do Sketch any L-shape, U-shape or island with snap-to-grid measurements Tag every edge profile (eased, bevel, ogee, mitered, waterfall…) — pricing auto-applies Drop sink, cooktop, faucet and outlet cutouts from a library — sized and priced Add fabrication, installation, edge polish, splash and freight in one tap Send a branded PDF by email or shareable link — no more 'I'll send it tomorrow' Client opens, approves or rejects online — you get notified instantly #### Built around the way fabricators actually quote Every drawing is tied to a price book that you control: per-square-foot material rates, per-linear-foot edge profiles, per-piece cutouts, fixed labor lines, and freight by zone. Change a material and the entire quote recalculates instantly. Save the layout as a template and reuse it for the next kitchen of the same style. Drawings, photos, measurements and the resulting quote PDF are all attached to the project record — so two weeks later, when the client says 'remind me what we agreed on', the answer is one tap away. Works offline. Sketch in a basement, on a roof, or 40 miles out of cell range — everything syncs the moment you have signal again. Every quote tracked with its own status, from draft to approved #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it Quote turnaround From 2–3 days to under 10 minutes Win rate First-to-quote shops close more deals Errors Pricing math is automatic — no more 'I forgot the cutouts' Re-work Templates and saved price books eliminate retyping #### Frequently asked questions Do I need a tablet to draw? No — the drawing tool works on iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows and the web. Most fabricators prefer an iPad with Apple Pencil for on-site sketching, but a phone is enough for simple kitchens. Can I import an existing CAD file? You can attach DXF, DWG, PDF and image files to any quote, and our drawing tool lets you trace over a photo of the existing countertop. DXF files import straight into the drawing tool: you confirm the units and the pieces become a priced drawing. How does pricing get attached to the drawing? You set up your price book once (materials per sqft, edges per linear foot, cutouts per piece, labor lines). After that, every drawing automatically calculates totals — and you can override any line on a per-quote basis. Does the client get a real PDF or a web link? Both. The quote is delivered as a branded PDF (with your logo, colors and terms) and a secure web link where the client can approve, reject or request changes online. #### Continue exploring Problem Solution ##### Slow Quotes Lose Stone Jobs to the Competition Clients sign with whoever quotes first.

Invoice Sent. Deposit Collected. The moment a client approves a quote, it converts to an invoice. Take a deposit on the spot, schedule payment plans, and watch it land in QuickBooks automatically. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Stop chasing money. Start collecting it on time. For most stone shops, the gap between 'approved' and 'paid' is where cash flow dies. Invoices get re-typed into QuickBooks. Deposits get verbal-only. Final balances get forgotten until the install crew is loading the truck. Stone Project closes that gap so every dollar follows the job — automatically. #### What's included One-tap conversion: approved quote invoice (line items, totals and taxes carry over) Take credit card, ACH, PIX or cash deposits inside the app Payment plans: deposit + progress + final, with auto-reminders Multi-currency: USD, BRL, EUR, MXN and more Two-way QuickBooks Online sync (customers, invoices, payments) Receipts and balance updates posted to the project record automatically #### Built for the deposit-progress-final reality Stone work doesn't bill like a coffee shop. There's a deposit at signing, a progress payment after templating or fab, and a final balance on install day. Stone Project lets you set that schedule once on the quote, and the system tracks every milestone — sending reminders before each one is due. Every payment is logged with method, date and notes, and the project balance updates in real time. Your installer at the kitchen on Friday can see 'final balance: $2,400 due on completion' before they even unload the truck. If you use QuickBooks Online, customers, vendors, estimates, invoices and payments sync both ways. No more re-typing every line for your bookkeeper. No more 'is this paid?' Slack messages. Every payment logged against the project balance in real time #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it Days sales outstanding Lower — auto-reminders chase balances for you Bookkeeping time From hours/week to ~zero with QB sync 'Forgotten' final balances Eliminated by install-day prompts Card processing Built in — no extra terminal needed #### Frequently asked questions Do I need a separate payment processor? No. Card, ACH, and (in Brazil) PIX are built in via Stripe. You can also record cash, check or external transfers manually if you prefer. What happens to the invoice in QuickBooks? If you connect QuickBooks Online, every invoice, customer and payment syncs automatically — both ways. Your accountant sees them in QB exactly as they appear in Stone Project. Can I do partial deposits and progress payments? Yes. You can split any invoice into milestones (deposit, progress, final) with their own due dates. The system tracks the running balance and sends reminders. What about taxes and surcharges? Set tax rates per location and per line item. Surcharges (e.g., card fees, freight) can be added per quote or globally. All show up correctly on the PDF and in QuickBooks. #### Continue exploring Problem Solution ##### Stop Re-Typing Every Quote into QuickBooks Hours per week wasted re-typing approved quotes into QuickBooks.

Set it once — and never lose a job to silence again. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### 70% of quotes get no follow-up. That's where deals go to die. You sent the quote. Then the install crew showed up, the granite truck broke down, and three days later you forgot. The client signed with someone else. Sound familiar? Stone Project runs the boring sequence — follow-up emails, stage notifications, deadline pings, review requests — so your hands stay free for the actual work. #### Automations included out of the box Auto follow-up emails on quotes that haven't been opened or answered Kanban stage transitions trigger team notifications, emails or activity creation Deadline reminders 24h and 4h before measure, fab and install appointments Auto review requests sent the day after a job is marked complete Auto-assign jobs to the right installer based on zone or skill Auto-archive lost / expired quotes so your pipeline stays clean #### Triggers, not chaos Every kanban stage in your pipeline can have its own auto-actions: when a project moves into 'Approved', notify the fab manager and create a 'cut sheet' activity. When it moves into 'Installation', email the client a confirmation with arrival window and crew name. You build the rules once — they run on every job from then on. Quote follow-up sequences are configurable per company. Default: a friendly nudge after 3 days, a value-add email after 7 days, and a 'still interested?' after 14. Override per quote when needed. Auto review requests use a smart routing: 4–5 star ratings get nudged toward Google Reviews, 1–3 star ratings stay private and route to you so you can fix the issue before it goes public. Stage triggers create calendar reminders automatically #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it Quote response rate Up 2–3x with timed auto-follow-ups Missed installs Cut to near zero with 24h + 4h reminders Google review count Typically grows 3–5x in the first 90 days Owner overhead Saves 5–10 hours/week of manual chasing #### Frequently asked questions Can I customize the email content? Yes. Every automated email uses templates you can edit — subject, body, signature. Include merge fields like {{client_name}}, {{quote_total}} and {{install_date}}. Do clients know it's automated? Only if you want them to. The emails come from your domain (or your team member's address) and read like a person wrote them. Nothing screams 'robot'. What if I want to pause automation for one job? Toggle automations off per project, per quote, or globally. Useful for VIP clients you'd rather call personally. How do auto review requests work? After you mark a job complete, the system waits the number of hours you configure (default 24), then sends a request. High ratings link to your Google Business Profile; low ratings stay internal so you can intervene. #### Continue exploring Problem Solution ##### Most Stone Quotes Never Get a Follow-Up.

Every import is logged, and every import can be undone. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Nobody stays on old software because they like it. They stay because moving looks expensive. Ask an owner why they have not switched and you get the same two answers. "I have eleven years of jobs in there." And: "Somebody would have to retype six hundred clients and every open quote, and that somebody is me, at night, after the shop closes." Both are fair. So the importers were built for the mess a real migration actually is — a half-usable CSV export, a price list nobody has audited since 2019, forty open quotes you cannot afford to lose, and a calendar that already has installs booked for next month. #### What you get CSV import for clients, contacts, quotes, projects, pieces, materials and colors Column mapping you do once: the app proposes the match, you fix what it got wrong, and it saves as a reusable template for the next file Screenshot import: drop a quote screen from the old system and the AI reads the client, the account or builder, every priced line, and the drawing The pieces come back on the drawing canvas with dimensions, cutouts and edge profile — an editable drawing, not a screenshot pasted into a job Every imported line checked against your own price list, with a flag where the old number and your number disagree Duplicate guard on both sides: link an import to the client you already have, or force a new record — and re-reading the same quote opens the existing project instead of cloning it Calendar import: a screenshot of next month's schedule becomes real templates, fabs and installs on your calendar Contacts pulled straight off your phone, and customers synced from QuickBooks Online Import history with a one-click undo per batch, so a bad mapping costs you five minutes instead of a weekend #### Migrate in this order and nothing lands orphaned 1. Materials and colors first. Everything priced downstream points at a material. Bring the catalog in before the quotes and each imported line finds a real slab to attach to; bring it in after and you spend the evening relinking line items by hand. 2. Then set your price list. Your price book is built in the app, per material and per service, so it is worth an hour of attention rather than a paste from a spreadsheet nobody has audited. It also becomes the yardstick: from that point on, every import compares the old price against yours and flags the gaps instead of quietly importing a rate you stopped charging two years ago. 3. Then clients and accounts. CSV for the bulk of the list, phone contacts for the ones that only ever lived in somebody's cell, QuickBooks Online for the ones you already invoice. Builders and GCs come in as accounts, so the individual homeowners underneath them stay attached to the right company. 4. Then open jobs and quotes. Now that materials, prices and clients exist, an imported quote lands complete: linked to the right client, priced against your book, with its drawing on the canvas. This is also where you stop and decide how much history is worth carrying. Most shops bring what is still open and leave the closed years in the old system until the subscription lapses. 5. Calendar last. Screenshot next month's schedule, review what the app read — type, date, crew — and commit. Do it last so an install can point at a job that already exists. #### When the export fights you, take a screenshot Old systems are generous with data entry and stingy with exports. If yours will not hand over a usable file, open the quote on screen, capture it, and drop the image into Stone Project. The app reads it the way an estimator would: who the client is, which builder it came through, who sold it, what each line cost, and what the countertop actually looks like. Then it shows you everything before writing a single record. Client details next to any existing client with a similar name, so you can link instead of duplicating. The line items with their original totals, each one compared against your price list. And the drawing, rebuilt piece by piece on the canvas — dimensions, cutouts, edge profile — so you can see immediately whether the read was right. Drop twenty at once if you like. They queue up and get reviewed one at a time, and a bad image gets skipped rather than killing the batch. Only when you press Create in system does anything exist: client, quote, project and drawing, all linked. #### What changes for your shop What migration looks like when the tooling expects a mess Retyping None. The old quote arrives with its drawing and its numbers attached A locked export Stops being a blocker — a screenshot is a supported import A bad mapping Undo the batch, fix the columns, run it again Stale pricing Surfaces during the import instead of on the next job Duplicate clients Caught at review — link to the existing record or create a new one on purpose Running both systems Days, not a quarter — bring what is open, let the rest expire #### Frequently asked questions Do I have to export a CSV out of my old system first? No. CSV is the fastest way to move a long client or material list, and we map your columns for you. But if the export is locked down, comes out mangled, or you simply do not want to fight with it, the screenshot importer reads a quote screen straight off your monitor instead. What if all I have is screenshots? That is a supported path, not a workaround. Drop one image or twenty (JPG, PNG, WEBP or PDF) and the app reads each quote screen: client, builder or account, salesperson, every priced line item, and the drawing. You review each one and press Create in system. Nothing is written until you do. Does the drawing come across, or just the numbers? The drawing comes across. The importer rebuilds the pieces on the drawing canvas with their dimensions, cutouts and edge profile, and you see them before you commit. It is a real, editable drawing, not a picture of one. Complicated layouts are worth a look on the review screen before you press create. How long does the migration take? That depends on what you bring. A client list or material catalog is a CSV and a column mapping: minutes. Screenshot imports run one quote at a time, so budget about a minute each including your review. Most shops only carry open jobs across and leave closed history in the old system until the subscription runs out. Can I undo an import that went wrong? Yes. Import history lists every batch you have run, with how many records it created and how many it updated, and each one has an Undo. Undoing removes what that batch created and restores what it changed. If someone has already built on top of an imported record, the app blocks the undo and tells you exactly which records are involved instead of silently deleting their work. Do you help with the migration, or am I on my own? We help. Book a demo, bring a sample export or a couple of screenshots of your current quotes, and we will map the fields with you on the call and run the first import together. #### Continue exploring Scheduling ##### Your Calendar, Rebuilt From a Screenshot Where imported jobs land on the schedule — templates, fabs and installs your whole team can see.

Take the shot and the length, width and area land on the piece record with the photo attached. No tape, no chalk, no notepad to lose. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### The measurements nobody ever gets around to A truck drops six slabs. Somebody is supposed to measure each one and log it. It is 4:40 on a Friday, so what actually happens is a photo on a phone and a promise to do it Monday. Six weeks later there are forty remnants leaning against the back wall, none of them in any system, and a customer on the phone asking whether you have anything in Calacatta big enough for a vanity. That work never gets done because a tape measure needs two people and a clipboard. When measuring is one tap on the phone that is already in your hand, it gets done while you are standing there. #### What you get Tap the slab on screen and the app finds its surface, traces the outline and shows the dimensions live as you move LiDAR scanning on iPhone and iPad models that have the sensor — the highest accuracy tier the app offers A live confidence reading on screen, so you know when a scan is good and when the light is fighting you Corner-drag correction over the captured photo: nudge the four corners until the outline sits on the stone and the numbers recompute Photo measurement for any phone without AR: put a credit card, a sheet of A4, a ruler or a coin next to the piece and shoot Manual entry always available — the camera is an option, never a requirement Length, width and area written straight onto the piece record, in inches or centimeters, with the photo attached Runs on the device with no server call, so it works in a basement, a warehouse or a driveway with one bar of signal #### Three tiers, and the app picks the best one your device can do LiDAR, about 1.5%. iPhone and iPad models with the LiDAR sensor read actual depth. Tap the slab and the app locks onto the surface, traces its boundary and reports the dimensions of that boundary — not a guess from pixel size. Camera AR, about 3%. On a phone without LiDAR the app tracks the surface with the camera and motion sensors instead. Same flow, wider margin. Give it a moment to find the plane and keep moving slowly. Photo with a reference object, about 5%. Any camera at all. Lay a credit card on the stone, take the photo, and drag the four corners of the outline onto the edges. The known size of the card sets the scale for everything else in frame. Those percentages are the tiers the app labels, not a certificate for any one scan. On a 120 inch run, the LiDAR tier is roughly an inch and three quarters. That is a catalog measurement and a sales measurement. It is not a cut list — see the templating question below. #### Where it earns its keep, and where it does not It earns its keep on intake. Slabs coming off the truck, remnants after a job, a piece someone found behind the rack that nobody can identify. Each one gets measured, photographed and into inventory in under a minute, which is the difference between a remnant you can sell and a remnant you trip over. A dimensioned, photographed remnant can go straight onto the marketplace; an unmeasured one sits there. It also earns its keep on a walkthrough. A rough size and a photo, captured while you are standing in the kitchen, is enough to talk seriously about material and price before anyone schedules a template. Where it does not: fabrication tolerances. It is also worth knowing that the scanner reduces what it detects to a straight-sided outline, so an L-shaped piece or one with a notch comes back squared off. Correct the corners on the photo editor, or type the real shape in. We would rather tell you that up front than have you find it on a Tuesday. And nothing here is mandatory. Every field with a measurement in it accepts a typed number. The camera is there for the days when getting the tape out is what stops the job from being logged at all. #### What changes for your shop When measuring stops needing two people and a clipboard Slab intake Measured and photographed as it comes off the truck, not "on Monday" Remnants Dimensioned means sellable — the marketplace can only show what has numbers on it Kit to carry A phone. No target, no tripod, no laser, no dongle Transcription errors Gone — the number never passes through a notepad Dead signal on site Irrelevant. The scan is on-device and syncs later "Do we have anything in that color?" Answered from the phone instead of a walk to the back wall #### Frequently asked questions What accuracy should I expect? The app labels three tiers: about 1.5% with the LiDAR scanner, about 3% with camera AR on a device without LiDAR, and about 5% from a photo with a reference object. On a 120 inch run that is roughly 1.8 inches at the LiDAR tier. Good enough to catalog a slab, price a remnant or sanity-check a number on site; not a fabrication tolerance. Each scan also shows a live confidence reading, and it drops in bad light or on a high-gloss polished surface — if it looks low, move closer or measure again. Does it work on Android? The LiDAR scan is iPhone and iPad only, because no Android phone ships a LiDAR sensor. Camera AR on Android is newer and does not reach the LiDAR tier. If your crew is on Android, use photo measurement with a reference object — it works on any phone with a camera — or type the numbers in. Everything else in the app, from inventory to quoting to scheduling, runs on Android and on the web. Do I need an accessory? No. No target, no tripod, no dongle, no laser. For the AR and LiDAR scan the phone is the whole kit. For photo measurement you put something of known size in frame next to the piece: a credit card, a sheet of A4, a ruler or a coin. Everyone already has one in their pocket. Does it replace laser templating? No, and we would not sell it as one. A phone scan at a few percent is nowhere near what a laser template gives you for a seamed run against an out-of-square wall. This is for the measurements that never justified dragging the templating rig out: cataloging what arrived on the truck, dimensioning a remnant so it can be sold, checking a piece in the yard, capturing a rough size on a walkthrough. Does the measurement turn into a quote by itself? Not by itself. The scan fills in length, width and area on the piece record and attaches the photo it captured, so the slab or remnant is cataloged the moment you finish measuring. Drawing the countertop and pricing it is the next step, on the drawing canvas, where you pick the material and lay the pieces out. Does it work with no internet at the customer's house? Yes. The scan runs on the device using the camera and the phone's own sensors — no server call, so a dead cell signal in a basement changes nothing. The measurement and the photo are saved locally and sync when you get back to signal. #### Continue exploring Problem Solution ##### Stone Remnants Are Cash Sitting in Your Yard Where the pieces you measure end up: photographed, dimensioned and listed where buyers can actually find them.

Know Every Client. From Lead to Done. Every quote, message, photo, invoice and install — linked to the right project, on a kanban your whole team can see in real time. No more 'where's that job at?' on Monday morning. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Generic CRMs don't speak countertop. This one was built for it. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive — they're built for SaaS sales reps, not stone fabricators. They have no concept of templating, fab queues, install crews, remnants, edge profiles or deposits. Stone Project is a CRM that thinks in slabs, jobs and shop schedules — because that's what your business actually runs on. #### What you get Visual kanban: Lead Quote Approved Production Install Done Role-based team permissions (owner, admin, member, sales, installer) Client portal with quotes, invoices, messages, photos and approvals Drag-and-drop projects between stages, with auto-actions per stage Pipeline analytics: win rate, time-to-close, revenue forecast Activity timeline per project: who did what, when, with photos #### Built for how a stone shop actually runs Every project carries its full story: who the lead came from, what was quoted, what was approved, what was templated, what was fabricated and installed, what was paid and when. Photos, drawings, messages and revisions all hang off the same record — so the answer to any 'remind me about the Smith job?' question is one tap away. Team permissions match shop reality. The owner sees everything. Admins manage clients and quotes. Sales reps see their own deals. Installers see their assigned jobs and routes. Nobody sees what they shouldn't, and nobody is missing what they need. Clients log into a branded portal where they approve quotes, see install dates, pay invoices and message your team. No more 'when's my install?' phone calls — they have it on their own dashboard. Every client's contact info, jobs and history in one list #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it Visibility Every job, every stage, every team member — in one view Onboarding new staff Days, not weeks (the system shows them what's next) Client phone calls Down 30–50% (clients self-serve in the portal) Lost projects Near zero — nothing falls through the cracks #### Frequently asked questions Can I customize the kanban stages? Yes. Add, rename, reorder or remove stages to match your shop's flow. Each stage can have its own auto-actions (notifications, emails, activities). Does the client really need to log in? No. They can approve quotes and pay invoices via secure links sent by email — no account needed. The full portal (with login) is optional and great for repeat customers and contractors. How do team permissions work? Built-in roles (owner, admin, member, sales, installer) cover most shops out of the box. Pro plans let you create custom roles with granular per-feature permissions. Can I import my existing client list? Yes. Import via CSV (we'll map your columns), pull contacts directly from your phone, or sync customers from QuickBooks Online. Most shops are up and running in under an hour. #### Continue exploring Problem Solution ##### Your Workflow Lives in Texts, Sticky Notes, and One Person's Head Every handoff between measure, quote, fab and install is a chance to drop the ball.

Every Measure, Fab and Install. Drag-and-drop activities by team member and vehicle, optimize daily routes, and let auto reminders keep every job on track — across iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and the web. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### If your shop runs on group texts, you're paying in missed jobs. Most fabricators run their schedule on a paper board, a Google Calendar nobody opens, and a group chat that scrolls past in 30 seconds. Installers wake up unsure where they're going. Templators show up to a house that's not ready. Clients call angry. Stone Project gives the whole shop one calendar — with the route, the contact, the photos and the install instructions in the same screen. #### What's included Drag-and-drop calendar by team member, crew or vehicle Optimized daily routes — least driving, fewest backtracks Auto reminders 24h and 4h before measure, fab and install Color-coded activity types (template, fab, install, delivery, follow-up) GPS-aware: tap an address to navigate, log arrival and completion Syncs across iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and the Web #### More than a calendar — a dispatch system Every activity carries everything the field needs: client name and phone, full address, gate codes, photos from the previous visit, the drawing being installed, payment balance, and special notes ('use the side door, dog in front yard'). No more 'can someone send me the address?' texts. Daily routes auto-optimize: drop in 6 installs across town and the system orders them by drive time, accounting for traffic. The route shows up on the installer's phone with one-tap navigation to each stop and a check-in button when they arrive. Reminders go out automatically: 24 hours before, the client gets a 'see you tomorrow at 9–11am' email or SMS. 4 hours before, the crew gets a push notification. Confirmations come back into the project record so dispatch knows who's on the way. #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it Missed appointments Cut by 60–80% with auto reminders Drive time per crew Down 15–25% with route optimization Morning chaos Eliminated — every installer wakes up to a route Client no-shows Down sharply with day-before SMS #### Frequently asked questions Does it sync with Google Calendar or Outlook? Yes. Two-way sync with Google Calendar so the whole team can see Stone Project activities in their personal calendar — and vice versa for time off. How does route optimization work? Drop your day's appointments in any order; the system reorders them by shortest total drive time given starting point, traffic and vehicle type. You can lock specific time-of-day appointments first. Can I see crew capacity at a glance? Yes. The calendar shows each crew's load by day and week, including travel time — so you can quote install dates with confidence and avoid overbooking. What if my installer doesn't have signal at a job? All scheduling, routes, photos and arrival logs work offline. Everything syncs the moment they're back on signal — nothing is lost. #### Continue exploring Problem Solution ##### Stop the Daily 'Where Am I Today?' Texts Routes on paper. Missed installs.

By the time you send it, they've already signed with the competitor who replied in an hour. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### The fastest stone shop almost always wins. Speed matters: the company that responds first to a kitchen quote inquiry is far more likely to win the job than competitors who reply later. For most stone fabricators, the standard turnaround is 2–3 days — between measuring, getting back to the office, opening Excel, drawing the layout in another app, calculating edges and cutouts by hand, and finally exporting a PDF. By the time it lands in the client's inbox, they've already met two other shops. #### Where the time actually goes Driving back from the measurement to type it up Switching between spreadsheet, drawing tool and price book Calculating edge length, cutouts and labor by memory Formatting the PDF and chasing your own signature Waiting for the owner to 'review it before sending' None of those tasks add value for the client. They just delay the moment of truth: 'do you want this kitchen or not?' #### How to quote in 10 minutes — from the driveway Stone Project collapses the entire quoting workflow into a single screen on your iPad or phone. Sketch the countertop on-site, tag edges and cutouts, pick the material from your saved price book, and the system calculates totals automatically. Tap 'Send' and the client gets a branded PDF with an approval link before you start the truck. On-site drawings tied to your price book — no spreadsheets One-tap PDF + email + approval link Saved templates for common kitchens (galley, L, U, island) Works offline so you can quote in any basement or rural site Every quote gets its own number and status — no more digging through email to find what went out. #### Real results What changes when you use it Average quote turnaround From 2–3 days to under 10 minutes Win rate Higher — first reply usually wins the job Owner review bottleneck Eliminated — sales reps quote on the spot #### Frequently asked questions Won't on-the-spot quotes have errors? Less than spreadsheets. Pricing math is automatic from your saved price book — material per sqft, edges per linear foot, cutouts per piece. You set it up once, then every quote is consistent. What if I want to review big quotes before sending? Toggle approval workflows per project size or per sales rep. Big jobs can require owner sign-off; small ones go out instantly. Does the client really get a branded PDF? Yes — your logo, colors, terms and conditions, and a link where they can approve, reject or request changes online. #### Related Design ##### Quotes With Drawings, Sent On the Spot Sketch the countertop on-site, attach edges, cutouts and labor, and send a branded quote PDF before you leave the driveway.

So they go cold — and the deals go to whoever did follow up. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Most owners don't realize how much pipeline they've abandoned. If you exported every quote you sent in the last 90 days, you'd find that the majority received zero follow-up. No reminder, no nudge, no 'still interested?'. The client moved on, you moved on, and a deal that was 60% closed evaporated. Industry-wide, 70%+ of B2C quotes go unfollowed. #### Why it happens You're on a job — not in front of a CRM Your spreadsheet has no reminder column You don't want to be 'pushy' By the time you remember, it feels too late The result is a permanent leak in your pipeline. Some shops calculate they're losing $50k+/year to silence alone. #### Let the software follow up — politely, on schedule, on autopilot Stone Project ships with proven follow-up sequences: a friendly check-in 3 days after sending, a value-add email at 7 days, and a final 'still interested?' at 14. All branded as you, all editable, and you can pause per-quote whenever a personal touch is better. Pre-built 3/7/14-day follow-up sequences Stops automatically when the client replies or approves Tracks open rates so you know who's actually engaged Optional SMS nudges in addition to email Every client and quote status in one list — nothing goes cold because nobody remembered to check. #### What changes What changes when you use it Quote response rate Up 2–3x with timed nudges Recovered deals Typically 15–30% of the silent pile Owner workload Zero — it runs itself #### Frequently asked questions Won't follow-ups annoy clients? Not if they're spaced and value-driven. The default cadence (3/7/14 days) tests well across home services. Most clients appreciate the reminder. Can I edit the email content? Yes — every email uses your own template, your tone, your signature. Merge fields pull in the client's name and the specific quote details. What if the client replies? The sequence stops automatically. You take over the conversation from there. #### Related Automation ##### Automate the Boring Stuff Auto follow-ups on quotes, kanban triggers, deadline reminders, and review requests — keep every job moving without lifting a finger.… Problem Solution ##### Slow Quotes Lose Stone Jobs to the Competition Clients sign with whoever quotes first.

And someone always does. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### When the workflow lives in heads, jobs fall through the cracks. The classic stone-shop chain: salesperson texts the templator, templator photographs the kitchen and texts the office, the office calls the fab manager, the fab manager scribbles on a clipboard, the install crew gets a printout the night before. Every link is fragile, and one missed text means a wasted truck roll or a re-fab. #### Symptoms you've seen Installers showing up before fab is finished Quotes sent without final material confirmation The same client called by 3 people in 2 days 'Who's covering the Smith install?' on Friday afternoon If only one person knows the full status of a job, that person is your bottleneck — and your single point of failure. #### A kanban every team member can see, in real time Stone Project gives the whole shop a single kanban from Lead to Done. Every project moves left to right, with auto-actions firing at each stage: notify fab when approved, email the client on install scheduled, request a review on completed. Nothing happens in someone's text history anymore. Visual kanban: Lead Quote Approved Production Install Done Stage-triggered notifications and emails Per-project timeline showing who did what, when Role-based permissions so each team member sees what matters #### What changes What changes when you use it Missed handoffs Near zero — every transition is logged 'Where's that job at?' Answered with one screen Owner involvement Down sharply — the system manages flow #### Frequently asked questions Can I customize the stages? Yes. Add, rename, reorder or remove kanban stages to match your shop's actual flow. Will my team actually use it? Most adopt it within a week because it removes friction — no more searching texts for an address or status. Do installers need a tablet? Phones work fine. The mobile UI is built for the field with offline support. #### Related CRM ##### A CRM That Knows Every Job & Every Client Visual kanban from Lead to Done, role-based team permissions, client portal and pipeline analytics.

Zero Catalog. Zero Buyers. Leftover slabs collect dust because there's no searchable catalog and no buyers know they exist. Until now. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Every shop has a remnant pile. Few have a remnant strategy. After every job there's a piece left over — too small for the next big kitchen but perfect for a vanity, a bar top, a bathroom. Without a public catalog, those pieces sit in the yard or get scrapped. Multiply by every job for a year and you're sitting on five figures of unsold inventory. #### Why it stays stuck No easy way to photograph and list each piece Spreadsheets nobody updates Buyers (homeowners, designers, small contractors) don't know to ask No marketplace built for the trade The opportunity cost: every remnant that doesn't sell takes shop space, blocks new slabs, and eventually becomes scrap. #### Photograph, list, sell — from your phone in 30 seconds Snap a photo, dimensions auto-detected with AR, pick the material from your library, set a price, publish to the public Stone Project marketplace and your own widget.

No. Toggle visibility per piece — public marketplace, your customers only, or private. Who handles payment? You do. The platform connects buyer to seller; pricing and payment are between you.

Now Retype It Into QuickBooks. Then PayPal. Hours per week of pure waste — and one transposed digit can break your books. Two-way QuickBooks sync ends it. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Double entry is invisible — until you count the hours. Most stone shops type the same job into 3 systems: their CRM (or spreadsheet), QuickBooks for the invoice, and a payment processor. That's 3x the chance for typos, 3x the chance for inconsistent totals, and a few hours every week of pure data entry that nobody is paying you for. #### Where the waste hides Customer created in CRM and again in QB Approved quote re-typed as a QB estimate or invoice Payments recorded in QB and re-recorded in your tracker Refunds and adjustments in two places Worst case: someone pays the wrong invoice or you charge sales tax twice. The fix can take days. #### Two-way QuickBooks Online sync — automatic Connect Stone Project to QuickBooks Online and customers, items, estimates, invoices, payments and tax codes flow both ways. Approve a quote and the QB invoice is created automatically. Mark a payment as received in QB and the project updates. Done. Sync customers, vendors, items, taxes, payments and invoices Auto-create QB estimates from approved quotes Auto-convert estimates into invoices on schedule Voids and adjustments propagate both directions Don't have QuickBooks yet? Get up to 50% off for 3 months → Invoices stay in sync automatically — no re-typing #### What changes What changes when you use it Hours/week of data entry Down 3–6 hours for the average shop Books accuracy Up sharply — single source of truth Tax season pain Way less painful #### Frequently asked questions Does it work with QuickBooks Desktop? QuickBooks Online only. Desktop sync is on the roadmap; meanwhile most shops have already migrated to QB Online. What if I have years of QB history? Bring it in or start fresh — your call. Most shops sync customers and items as a baseline and let new transactions flow from there. Do I need to give my accountant access? No new access.

Generic CRMs Die. Measurement in a basement? Rural install? Generic CRMs just stop working — leaving you to retype everything back at the shop. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### The most important moment of every job is the one with no bars. Templating happens in basements, kitchens with thick walls, half-built construction sites and cabin homes 40 minutes from the highway. That's exactly where Salesforce, HubSpot and most browser-based tools fail. You write notes on paper, take photos in the camera roll, and spend an hour back at the shop reconstructing everything. #### Where signal usually dies Basement remodels and walk-out lower levels New construction with no Wi-Fi yet Rural and suburban dead zones Concrete-walled high-rises Every minute spent re-entering data is a minute not quoting the next job. #### True offline-first — measure, draw, quote anywhere Stone Project caches everything you need locally on your phone or iPad. Measure, draw, photograph, sign and even create a quote with no signal whatsoever. The moment you're back online, every change syncs to the cloud and your team sees it instantly. Full offline support: drawings, quotes, photos, signatures Conflict-free background sync the moment you're online Native iOS, Android, Mac, Windows — not a wrapped browser Cached price book and templates so quotes work anywhere #### What changes What changes when you use it Lost measurements Eliminated — everything saves locally Re-entry time per visit Saves 30–60 min/visit Quote-from-driveway Possible even with no bars #### Frequently asked questions How long can I be offline? Days. Everything you need is cached. Sync the moment you reconnect. What if two people edit the same project offline? Conflicts are merged automatically using last-write-wins for fields, and both sets of photos / messages are preserved. Does AR measurement need signal? No. AR runs locally on the device using ARKit (iOS) or ARCore (Android). #### Related Design ##### Quotes With Drawings, Sent On the Spot Sketch the countertop on-site, attach edges, cutouts and labor, and send a branded quote PDF before you leave the driveway.

Routes are written on paper. Jobs get missed. Clients call angry. There's a better way. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Scheduling is where small shops bleed hours and trust. Most stone shops manage their schedule on a paper board, a Google Calendar nobody opens and a group chat. The result: installers calling the office every morning, templators driving to addresses they don't fully have, and clients getting wildly inaccurate arrival windows. #### Common scheduling failures Same client gets two different install dates from two team members Crews drive double the necessary miles between stops Templator shows up with no idea what was already discussed Client texts at 11am: 'are you still coming today?' Every miss costs a truck roll, an apology call, sometimes a reorder. #### One shared calendar with routes and auto reminders Stone Project gives the whole shop one calendar with drag-and-drop activities by team member or vehicle. Optimize daily routes by drive time. Send 24h and 4h auto reminders to clients and crews. Everyone wakes up knowing exactly where they're going and what they're doing. Drag-and-drop calendar by person, crew or vehicle Optimized daily routes — least driving Auto reminders 24h + 4h before each appointment Per-stop checklist and photos so nothing is missed #### What changes What changes when you use it Missed appointments Cut 60–80% with auto reminders Drive time per crew Down 15–25% with route optimization Morning calls to office Near zero — installers wake up to a route #### Frequently asked questions Does it sync with Google Calendar? Yes. Two-way sync so personal calendars stay in step. Can I see crew capacity at a glance? Yes. Capacity by day and week, including travel time. What about installs across two days? Multi-day jobs are first-class — schedule them as a block with hand-offs between crews. #### Related Calendar ##### Stay On Schedule From Measure to Install One calendar for measurements, fab and installs.

'Did You Get My Approval?' You're the Bottleneck. Every client text and call interrupts the work that earns the money. Give them a portal — and your day back. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Status anxiety is the #1 driver of client friction. When clients can't see what's happening with their job, they call. And text. And email. And then call again. Every interruption pulls a team member away from billable work — and even worse, makes the client feel ignored when the call goes to voicemail. #### Where the friction is 'Did you get my signed quote?' (sent 2 hours ago) 'Can you send the invoice again?' (lost in the inbox) 'When are you coming?' (already in their portal but they don't know) 'Where's my receipt?' (never auto-sent) Each one is a 5-minute interruption, and stone shops field dozens per week. #### A branded portal where clients self-serve Stone Project gives every client a branded mini-site (under your subdomain) where they see their quotes, approve or reject them, see install dates, pay invoices, view receipts and message your team. They get notifications by email/SMS, and you get a clean inbox. Branded subdomain or magic-link access — no app to install Quotes, invoices, payments, install dates and messages in one place Email/SMS notifications when status changes Optional client login for repeat customers and contractors #### What changes What changes when you use it Client phone calls Down 30–50% within 60 days Approval turnaround Faster — clients click instead of replying via email NPS / repeat business Up — clients feel in control #### Frequently asked questions Do clients have to create an account? No. Magic links from email work for one-off projects. Repeat clients and contractors love the full login. Can I customize the branding? Yes. Logo, colors, subdomain (e.g., portal.yourshop.com), and custom welcome message. What if the client wants to pay in cash?

Margins Vary Wildly. Without a structured price book, every quote is a coin flip. Standardize once and protect every margin. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Memory pricing makes every quote a gamble. Most stone shops price from instinct: 'about $80/sqft for that quartz... maybe $90 with the waterfall... let me round it.' The result is wildly inconsistent margins from quote to quote, and a sales team that can't quote without the owner. #### Where money leaks Same quartz quoted at different prices for similar jobs Edges, cutouts and labor under-counted because nobody totals them Travel and tearout fees forgotten Discounts given to 'close the deal' that destroy margin Without a price book, every quote is the owner's gut feeling — and even the owner is wrong some days. #### A structured price book — every quote consistent Stone Project lets you build your price book once: materials per sqft, edges per linear foot, cutouts per piece, labor by job type, travel and tearout. From then on, every quote in the system pulls from the same prices. Sales reps can quote on-site without calling the owner. Margins stay protected. Materials, edges, cutouts, labor and fees in one library Custom price tiers (residential, commercial, contractor) Auto-applied taxes by zone Price history so you can see what changed and when #### What changes What changes when you use it Margin consistency Up sharply — every quote uses the same numbers Quote turnaround Down to minutes — no more 'let me check' Owner involvement per quote Reduced — sales reps can quote on their own #### Frequently asked questions What if I want to give a one-off discount? Per-quote overrides are supported with a comment field so you remember why later. Can I have different prices for contractors? Yes. Multi-tier pricing per client type, with audit trail. How do I update prices when material costs change? Edit the master price; new quotes pick up the new price automatically. Existing quotes stay locked at their original numbers unless you explicitly re-price. #### Related Design ##### Quotes With Drawings, Sent On the Spot Sketch the countertop on-site, attach edges, cutouts and labor, and send a branded quote PDF before you leave the driveway.

Nobody Asks. If you're not asking, every job, every day — you're leaving the most valuable marketing asset on the table. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Reviews are the new word-of-mouth — and you can't earn them by accident. Homeowners shopping for a stone fabricator check Google reviews first. Yet most shops have a handful of reviews and a 4.0 rating because they never ask. Meanwhile, every unhappy client posts unprompted, dragging the average down. #### Why most shops don't get reviews 'I'll ask next time' — and you forget Owner is too busy with the next install No system to know which clients to ask and when Asking feels awkward in person The math is brutal: a shop that asks every client gets 10–20x more reviews than one that doesn't. #### Auto-request reviews with smart routing Stone Project sends a review request the day after a job is marked complete. Happy clients (4–5 stars) get redirected to your Google Business Profile. Unhappy clients (1–3 stars) get a private feedback form so you can fix the issue before it becomes a public 1-star. Auto-send review request 24h after job completion (timing configurable) High ratings Google Reviews; low ratings private to you Customizable subject and body, your branding Track who got asked, who responded, who didn't #### What changes What changes when you use it Google review count Typically grows 3–5x in 90 days Average star rating Climbs as ratio of happy clients dominates Inbound leads from search Up — higher rating = more clicks #### Frequently asked questions Is smart routing 'gating' reviews? Is it allowed? We don't filter or block low ratings. Unhappy clients can still post publicly if they want; we just give them a private channel first so you can resolve it. This is well within Google's policies. Can I customize the email content? Yes — full template control with your tone, signature and branding. How often does the system follow up on review requests? By default it sends one request and one gentle follow-up after 5 days. You can disable the follow-up or change cadence. #### Related Automation ##### Automate the Boring Stuff Auto follow-ups on quotes, kanban triggers, deadline reminders, and review requests — keep every job moving without lifting a finger.… Problem Solution ##### Slow Quotes Lose Stone Jobs to the Competition Clients sign with whoever quotes first.

You Don't Build It. Switch it on and your slabs, job photos, services, locations and reviews go live on the web. The pages read your Stone Project data, so they stay current on their own. No page builder, no web guy, no agency retainer. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Most shops have a Facebook page and a website from 2012. A homeowner searching for a fabricator finds a stock photo of a kitchen, a phone number that changed two years ago, and no idea what stone you actually have in the yard. Building a real site means hiring someone, waiting six weeks, and then paying that same person every time a slab sells. So nobody updates it, and it rots. Stone Project takes the other route: you already track slabs, photos, reviews, hours and addresses in the app — the website simply publishes them. #### What you get Nine pages you switch on or off: Home, About, Services, Materials, Inventory, Gallery, Locations, Contact and Reviews Inventory page built from the slabs and remnants you marked public — searchable, with stone type, color and price filters drawn from your own stock Gallery of your job photos, grouped by material, that grows as your crew uploads Reviews page showing your star average and only the client reviews you approved Locations page with the addresses, hours and maps of the facilities already in your account Materials browser of stone colors you can fabricate, with no prices shown Your branding: logo, hero image, headline, three brand colors, ready-made themes and two layouts A quote button on every page that opens the quote widget — the visitor sends a request without creating an account Your own domain with automatic SSL, or the free subdomain that comes with your account SEO title, description, social share image and your own Google Analytics ID #### Set it up in an afternoon, then leave it alone Open Settings, My Website. Pick a theme — each one carries a layout, a palette and a font pairing — then drop in your logo and a hero image, and write a headline and a subtitle. Switch off any page you don't want: a shop with one location hides Locations, a shop that doesn't publish stock hides Inventory. Home always stays on. On a wide screen a live preview sits beside the form, so you watch the real site change as you edit. The pages you keep fill themselves. Inventory reads the pieces flagged public. Gallery pulls the piece photos your team marked visible. Reviews shows the client reviews you approved. Locations reads your facilities, Contact reads your phone, email and business hours. About and Services are the two blocks you write by hand, and they take about ten minutes. Sell a slab tomorrow and the site drops it without you touching anything. When it looks right, flip Publish and the site is live on your subdomain. To run it on your own name, enter the domain, add the two DNS records we print for you at your registrar, and click Verify — the certificate is issued automatically on the first visit. Two smaller things ride along for free: a chat bubble in the corner of every page, and a Live Visitors board in the app that shows who is on your site right now, split into active, waiting, served and closed, so a browsing homeowner gets an answer while they're still reading. One thing worth keeping straight: this is your public marketing site, not the client portal. Anyone on the internet can read it. The portal is the private, signed-in area where a specific customer approves their quote, pays their invoice and follows their own job. Different audience, different door — and you can run both. #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it Time to go live An afternoon, not six weeks of back and forth Keeping it current Nobody's job — the pages read live data What it costs No host, no agency, no per-change invoice Quote requests Arrive as a client and a project in your pipeline #### Frequently asked questions Do I need to know how to build a website? No. There is no page builder to learn. You flip pages on or off, upload a logo, pick your colors and a ready-made theme, and write two lines of headline. Everything else — slabs, photos, reviews, addresses, hours — comes from records you already keep in Stone Project. Can I use my own domain? Yes. Enter your domain, add the two DNS records we show you (an A record and a TXT record) at your registrar, then click Verify. The SSL certificate is issued automatically on the first visit. If you would rather not deal with DNS, keep the free subdomain that comes with your account. Does the inventory page update itself? Yes. The Inventory page reads the slabs and remnants you marked public, with search and filters built from your own stock. Sell a piece or unpublish it and it disappears from the site. The Gallery works the same way with your job photos, and the Reviews page with the reviews you approved. Is the website included in my plan? It is part of Stone Project — there is no separate website fee, no host to pay and no agency retainer. Turn it on under Settings, My Website. See the pricing page for what each plan includes. What if I already have a website? Keep it. Plenty of shops leave their main site alone and use Stone Project for the parts that go stale: point a subdomain like inventory.yourshop.com at your Stone Project site, or drop the quote button and the reviews widget into the site you already have. #### Continue exploring Feature ##### Client Reviews You Actually Collect The app asks for the review after the job, you approve it, and it lands on the Reviews page of the site your shop just published.… Problem Solution ##### Stone Remnants Are Cash Sitting in Your Yard The same pieces that fill your Inventory page are the ones gathering dust in the back.

Publish the Good Ones. Catch the Bad Ones First. Stone Project sends the request a day after the install, holds every answer for your approval, and turns an unhappy client into a ticket on your desk instead of a one-star post. The reviews you approve go straight onto your website and your widget. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### You do good work and nobody hears about it. The crew installs a kitchen the homeowner loves, everyone shakes hands, and the truck leaves. Somebody means to ask for a review — after the next job, once things calm down. Three months and forty installs later the shop has four reviews, two of them from people who were annoyed enough to go looking for the review box. That's the whole problem: the happy client has to be asked, and the unhappy one never does. #### What you get The request goes out on its own once a job is complete, on the delay you choose — 24 hours by default, anywhere from immediate to 30 days Your subject line, your message, your shop's name on the email — plus a test send to your own inbox before it ever reaches a client The client rates you from the email in one tap — no account, no password, no app to download Moderation before anything is public: reviews land as Pending, and you approve or reject each one A star threshold you set: at or above it, the client is handed to your Google Business Profile; below it, they stay with you A low rating opens a support ticket for your team, with the client and the job attached, so the complaint becomes work instead of a public post Approved reviews and your star average show on the Reviews page of your Stone Project website An embeddable widget for any other site you run — list, grid or carousel, light or dark, 3 to 20 reviews, copy and paste the snippet A dashboard of every review by status, who was asked, who answered, and where your average stands #### One setup, then it runs behind every job You configure it once: search for your shop to link the Google Business Profile, set the delay, write the subject and message, and pick the star threshold. Send yourself the test email and read it the way a customer will. That is the whole setup, and it holds for every job after it. From then on, marking a project complete schedules the request. The client gets an email with your name on it and rates you in one tap from the message — nothing to install, nothing to log into. Four or five stars and they are handed to your Google listing while the job is still fresh. One, two or three stars and they land in a private form that only your shop reads, and a ticket opens with the client and the project attached so somebody actually follows up. Neither path blocks anyone from posting publicly on their own; it just means you hear about the problem first. Every answer arrives in the dashboard as Pending. You read it, approve it or reject it, and mark the best ones as featured. Approved reviews go live on the Reviews page of your shop website with your star average, and into the widget you paste into any other site you run. Nothing publishes itself, and a review you approved today can be pulled tomorrow. #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it Clients asked Every one of them, not the few you remembered Unhappy clients Reach you as a ticket, days before they reach Google What goes public Only what you approved — no surprises on your site Proof for the next buyer Real names and real jobs, on your own pages #### Frequently asked questions When is the review request sent? After the job is marked complete, on the delay you set. The default is 24 hours; you can set anything from immediately up to 720 hours (30 days). You can also attach the request to a specific kanban stage, so it fires when the job hits Installed rather than Done, and skip it per project when a job ended badly. Can I edit the text of the request? Yes. You write the subject line and a custom message in your own words, and the email goes out under your shop's name. There is a Send test email button that mails the real thing to your own address, so you read it before a single client does. Does a bad review go public automatically? No. Nothing is published without you. Every review arrives as Pending and only appears on your site after you approve it. On top of that, ratings below the star threshold you set are never sent on to Google, and — if you leave the option on — they open a support ticket for your team instead, so the complaint reaches you as work to do rather than as a public post. Can I reply to a review? Not as a public reply thread under the review itself — that is not built yet. What you get instead is the direct route: a low rating opens an internal ticket with the client and the project attached, so you call or email the person who wrote it. For reviews posted on Google, you reply from your Google Business Profile as usual. Do these reviews show up on Google? The reviews you collect here live on your Stone Project website and in your embeddable widget. If you link your Google Business Profile in settings, a client who rates you at or above your threshold is handed straight to your Google listing to post there too — one job, two places. #### Continue exploring Problem Solution ##### Every Happy Client Is a 5-Star Review Waiting.

One chain, one record. The slab that comes off the truck lands in your inventory with the price you paid still attached to it. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### Every shop has a buying process. Almost none of them wrote it down. Someone texts the supplier. Someone else calls a second supplier for the color the first one ran out of. Two weeks later a truck backs in with six slabs, the guy who ordered them is on an install, and nobody in the office can say what was supposed to arrive. The slabs go on a rack and exist in no system at all. A month after that the vendor invoice shows up and the only person who can check it against anything is the one who remembers the phone call. #### What you get Purchase requisitions: anyone on the team can ask for material, owners and admins approve or reject with a reason An approval step you can switch off — a three-person shop doesn't need one, and privileged buyers can auto-approve One requisition, several vendors: assign a supplier per line, then convert to one purchase order per supplier Purchase orders emailed to the vendor from inside the app, with a preview before you send and a log of every send Receiving that records what actually came off the truck: quantity, condition, bin number, notes, and who signed for it Partial receiving: six of ten slabs arrive, the PO goes Partially Received and the other four stay open Received slabs become inventory pieces on their own, with dimensions, thickness and finish already filled in Vendor bills tied to the purchase order and to its exact lines, with a payables balance and payments recorded against it Purchase orders and vendor bills push to QuickBooks Online Purchase orders generated straight from a project or an order, so what you buy matches what you sold #### Five links, one chain It starts where the work starts. Open a project and Stone Project reads the material the drawing calls for, checks it against the slabs already on your racks, and separates what you can reserve from what you have to buy. What you have to buy becomes a requisition, with the job it belongs to already on it. The requisition goes to whoever spends money in your shop. They approve it, or they reject it with a reason the fabricator who asked can read. Pending requisitions get chased automatically, so nothing sits in Submitted for a week because the owner was on a job site. If your shop doesn't want that step at all, turn it off and requisitions become orders directly. Approved lines convert into purchase orders, split one per supplier. Send the PO by email from the app and it goes on the record: what you sent, to whom, when, and whether it bounced. No more "I'm sure I sent it Tuesday". When the truck arrives, receive the PO. Count what showed up and enter it. Every slab you receive turns into a piece in your inventory that same second, carrying its size, thickness, finish and the bin you put it in. Short delivery? Receive what came and leave the rest open on the order. Finally the vendor's invoice becomes a vendor bill against that purchase order, line by line, and your payables balance is current before anyone opens a filing cabinet. Push it to QuickBooks and the bookkeeping is finished the same day the stone arrived, not the week after month-end. #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it What was ordered On a purchase order, not in a phone call nobody else was on Slab off the truck In inventory the moment you receive it, with a bin number Vendor invoice Already matched to the order before it reaches your desk Approval Owner or admin, one tap — or switched off entirely #### Frequently asked questions Who approves a purchase? Owners and admins. A requisition moves from Draft to Submitted to Approved, and whoever approves can reject it instead, with a reason the requester reads. You can also switch the approval step off for the whole company, or auto-approve requisitions raised by owners and admins so nobody signs off on their own paperwork. What happens to my inventory when I mark a PO as received? Each slab you receive becomes a piece in your inventory right then, carrying the length, width, thickness and finish from the PO line plus the bin number you type at receiving. It is searchable, quotable and ready to label in the same minute. The receiving record keeps who received it, how many, in what condition and when. Can I receive part of an order? Yes. Receive the quantity that actually came off the truck and the PO moves to Partially Received, with the remaining quantity still open on the same order. Receive the rest when the second delivery arrives and the PO closes itself. Does this connect to QuickBooks? Yes. Purchase orders and vendor bills export to QuickBooks Online, and your suppliers map to QuickBooks vendors. You enter the purchase once, in the place where the slab actually is, and your bookkeeper stops re-typing it. Can I see what each supplier charges me for the same material? Filter purchase orders by supplier and every line shows the unit price you paid and the date you paid it. Every slab on your racks traces back to the purchase order it arrived on, so "what did we pay for this one" is a lookup instead of an argument. #### Continue exploring Inventory ##### Tag Every Slab.

Find Any Remnant in Seconds. Design the label your shop actually needs, print it on the thermal printer by the door, and scan the QR to pull that exact piece up on your phone. Retire the Sharpie and the blue tape. Start Free Trial Book a Demo #### The rack knows what's on it. Nobody else does. Forty remnants leaned against a wall. Half of them carry a strip of tape with a job number that closed a year ago. A fabricator needs a 40 by 22 piece of Calacatta, walks the yard, tilts slabs for twenty minutes, gives up, and cuts into a full slab instead. That is a several-hundred-dollar decision made because a four-cent label was missing. #### What you get A label designer where you drag fields, QR codes, barcodes, your logo, text and shapes onto a canvas measured in millimeters What you see is what prints — the preview and the printed label are the same render, at your printer's DPI Twelve fields that fill themselves from the piece: code, title, stone type, category, color, finish, dimensions, thickness, price, company name, date added A QR code that opens that exact slab when someone scans it with a phone Five layouts ready to print on day one: slab tag, remnant tag, price tag, barcode tag and inventory sheet, all 4 x 2 inches at 300 DPI Output as PDF for any printer, ZPL for Zebra-compatible thermal printers, PNG, or ESC/POS Batch printing: select pieces in your inventory list and run all their tags in one pass Reprint from wherever the piece already is: the inventory list, the piece screen, the edit screen, or right after you add an item One template set as the shop default, so nobody at the printer has to make a decision #### Built around a 4 x 2 thermal label Thermal label stock in the US comes in 4 x 2 inches, and the printers that eat it run at either 203 or 300 dots per inch. Get that number wrong and the printer helpfully rescales your label to roughly two thirds of its size, off center, with the text clipped at the edge. Stone Project renders every label at the exact DPI of the printer you name, so 4 x 2 comes out 4 x 2 and the barcode scans on the first try. The designer is the print engine. There is no second code path that reformats your layout on the way to the paper, which is why the preview never lies. Nudge a field two millimeters in the editor and it moves two millimeters on the label. Drag a corner to resize, rotate in quarter turns, bring an element to the front — then hit test print and hold the result up against the screen. The QR is the part that pays for itself. Scan a tag with your phone camera and the piece opens: dimensions, thickness, photos, price, where it lives. Walking the yard becomes a scanning job instead of a memory test, and a fabricator can confirm the right remnant without walking back to the office to ask. New material gets tagged where it lands. Receive a purchase order and every slab on it becomes an inventory piece; print its tag from that same screen before it ever goes on the rack. Cut a slab down and the offcut becomes a remnant with its own code and its own tag, so the piece you just created is findable this afternoon instead of next quarter. #### What changes for your shop What changes when you use it Finding a remnant Scan a tag instead of tilting forty slabs New slab off the truck Tagged before it reaches the rack Label size 4 x 2 at 300 DPI, exact — not rescaled by the driver Counting the yard A phone camera instead of a clipboard #### Frequently asked questions What printer do I need? Any thermal label printer that speaks ZPL, which covers Zebra and the ZPL-compatible clones. The ready-made layouts were built for a Zebra ZD421 at 300 DPI on 4 x 2 inch stock. If your printer runs at 203 DPI, set the template to 203 and the label is rendered for that head instead. Don't have a thermal printer yet? Print the same label as a PDF on the office printer and tape it on until one arrives. Can I print labels in batch? Yes. Select several pieces in your inventory list and send them to the print screen together, one tag per piece in a single pass. Set a copies count if you want the same tag on both ends of a slab. What can I put on the label? Whatever the guy at the rack needs to read. Pull any of the piece's own fields (code, title, stone type, category, color, finish, dimensions, thickness, price, date added, your company name), add a QR code or a barcode, drop in your logo, and place your own text and shapes. Prices print in your currency and dates in your locale. Does the QR open for anyone, or only my team? Both, on purpose. A signed-in team member lands on the full piece record and can edit it. Anyone else who scans it, like a customer standing in your yard, gets the read-only view of that slab: material, color, dimensions, photos. Nothing else in your account opens from the tag, and changing a piece still requires a signed-in account with inventory permission. #### Continue exploring Problem Solution ##### Stone Remnants Are Cash Sitting in Your Yard Thousands of dollars in remnants pile up while no buyers know they exist.

Product ##### Scheduling, routes & calendar One calendar for template, fabrication and install, with the day's route already sorted. Product ##### Employee time clock Crews punch in from the job site with a photo and location. Payroll stops being a Friday guessing game. Product ##### Workflow automation Move a job to the next stage and the emails, tasks and appointments fire on their own. Problem ##### Texts and sticky notes When the schedule lives in someone's head, one sick day stalls the whole week. Problem ##### Scheduling headaches Double-booked installers and a templater driving across town twice in one morning. Problem ##### No signal at the job site New construction rarely has service. Measure and quote anyway, sync when you are back in range. 04 #### Get paid Deposits before fabrication, the balance at install, and books that match without typing everything twice. Product ##### Invoicing, deposits & payments Take the deposit before the saw starts and let the customer pay the balance from their phone. Problem ##### Typing everything into QuickBooks twice Every invoice entered again by hand is an hour lost and a number that eventually disagrees. 05 #### Win the next one The job is installed. What you do in the following week decides whether it brings you another.

Yes. Punches are queued locally and sync when the phone reconnects. The original timestamp and GPS coordinates are preserved. Can installers edit their own punches? By default, no — only admins can edit. You can grant edit-own-time permission per role if needed. How are timesheet PDFs delivered? You configure the schedule (weekly, biweekly), the recipients (your bookkeeper, payroll service) and the format. The system emails the PDF on the day you choose. Is the selfie photo required? It's optional per company. Turn it on for crews working off-site, off for shop-floor only operations. #### Continue exploring ##### Scheduling & Calendar Plan jobs, assign installers and let smart suggestions pick the right person + time slot. ##### End the Workflow Chaos Kanban, audit logs, permissions, multi-facility — everything that turns a shop into a system. #### See it on a real shop Start a free trial today or book a 20-minute live demo.

Confirm with the vendor before you buy. #### What Moraware is known for CounterGo drawings and quotes, often in front of the customer Systemize calendars and digital job packets 3,000+ shops and 20+ years on moraware.com You can buy one product without the others #### Where they still win Largest installed base in US countertop shops — hiring someone who already knows CounterGo is easier. CounterGo layout-on-slab quoting is the shop-floor habit for a lot of estimators. Unlimited support is part of how they sell the suite. #### Where Stone Project is the better fit One subscription instead of stacking CounterGo + Systemize + Inventory. Native phone apps with offline mode. Moraware is still sold as connected desktop products with mobile views. Public remnant marketplace included. Moraware Inventory tracks your yard; it is not a public remnant board. A 14-day self-serve trial. Moraware has no trial version; buying starts with a sales call. One plan price covers every module. Moraware prices each product per user (CounterGo $100, Systemize $120 with a 3-user minimum, Inventory $50). CSV and screenshot import so you are not retyping every open quote. #### Questions Is Stone Project a Moraware alternative? For shops that want quoting, scheduling, remnants and invoicing in one app, yes. It is not a drop-in clone of CounterGo's drawing habit, and it is not 20 years of Moraware edge cases. Run a real job in the trial. Can I keep CounterGo and only replace Systemize? You can. Plenty of shops mix tools. Stone Project is built as one app, so the value is dropping the stack, not sitting next to CounterGo forever. Can I bring Moraware data across? CSV for clients and price lists. If the export is messy, the screenshot importer reads a quote screen and rebuilds the client, priced lines and drawing. You review before anything is written. See the import guide. How much is Moraware? Moraware publishes per-user prices: CounterGo $100, Systemize $120 (3-user minimum), Inventory $50 (requires Systemize), per month, no contract. Quoting plus scheduling means two products. Stone Project's 3-user plan is $199.99/mo promo with every module. #### Other comparisons ActionFlow SlabWare Stone Profit Systems SlabWise Slabsmith EasySTONE ShopPAK Stonify QuickQuote SlabOS Want every tool side by side, sorted by the job it does?

Stone Project ships iOS, Android, web, Windows and Mac. Is Spring the same as ActionFlow? Spring is the entry package from $149/month. Process ($299/month) and Performance ($499/month) add the full workflow and the Home Depot and Slabsmith integrations, each with an implementation fee.

Here is who does which, and what is free. ## Best Countertop & Granite Shop Software 2026: Top 12 URL: https://www.stoneproject.app/best/countertop-software Buyer's guide · updated October 22, 2026 ### Best countertop fabrication software for granite and quartz shops (2026) There is no single best countertop software. There is the best one for how your shop sells and builds. A two-truck residential shop that quotes at the kitchen table needs something different from a 40-person fabricator running three CNC saws, and both need something different from a slab distributor that also cuts tops. This guide sorts the tools granite, quartz and marble fabricators actually use by that job: run the whole shop, draw and price, manage the slab yard, feed the CNC, or just schedule installs. Disclosure. We make Stone Project, and it is on this list. Every other entry uses only what that vendor publishes on its own website, checked between October 1 and October 22, 2026. Where another product is the better pick for a shop, the entry says so. Prices change: confirm with the vendor before you buy. #### Short answer Stone Project: All-in-one for small and mid-size shops Moraware: Established shops that want the industry default ActionFlow: Windows-based shops that want a low-cost start SlabWare: Inventory-first fabricators and slab yards SlabWise: Shops whose bottleneck is nesting yield and DXF files iCounterSoft: The lowest-cost self-serve draw-to-quote tool in a browser Easy Stone Shop: Budget quoting, with shop-floor modules to grow into Stonify: Larger shops that want an ERP with drawing seats Stone Profit Systems: Slab distributors that also fabricate Slabsmith: Vein matching on photographed slabs (an add-on, not a CRM) QuoteIQ: Install-focused businesses that want a cheap mobile CRM Jobber / Housecall Pro: Install-only crews that never draw a top #### At a glance # Software Best for Published price 1 Stone Project All-in-one for small and mid-size shops From $129.99/mo (promo) 2 Moraware Established shops that want the industry default CounterGo $100/user/mo 3 ActionFlow Windows-based shops that want a low-cost start Spring from $149/mo 4 SlabWare Inventory-first fabricators and slab yards $249/mo (5 users) 5 SlabWise Shops whose bottleneck is nesting yield and DXF files $99–$799/mo 6 iCounterSoft The lowest-cost self-serve draw-to-quote tool in a browser From $70/mo 7 Easy Stone Shop Budget quoting, with shop-floor modules to grow into From $50/mo (Easy Quote) 8 Stonify Larger shops that want an ERP with drawing seats $500/mo base + seats 9 Stone Profit Systems Slab distributors that also fabricate Quote (ERP) 10 Slabsmith Vein matching on photographed slabs (an add-on, not a CRM) $15,000 one-time (fabricator bundle) 11 QuoteIQ Install-focused businesses that want a cheap mobile CRM From $29.99/mo 12 Jobber / Housecall Pro Install-only crews that never draw a top From $29/mo (Jobber), $59/mo (Housecall Pro) Prices as published on each vendor's own website between October 1 and October 22, 2026.

Stone Project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a reseller of any of them. #### The list #1 ##### Stone Project Best for: All-in-one for small and mid-size shops One app for the commercial side of a countertop shop: leads and CRM, drawings and priced quotes, scheduling and routes, invoices and payments, slab and remnant inventory, and two-way QuickBooks Online sync. The same app runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and the web, and keeps working offline at the job site. Every plan has the full app. Plans differ only by users and storage, from Solo (1 user) to Enterprise 50. Price From $129.99/mo (Solo, 1 user, 12-month promo). Regular $149.99/mo. 3 users $199.99/mo promo. Trial 14 days, no credit card Where it wins Quote at the customer's kitchen: draw L, U and island tops, tag edges and cutouts, send a branded PDF the client approves online. One subscription instead of a drawing tool, a scheduler and an inventory product. Public remnant marketplace (remnantfinder.app) included. Published pricing and a 14-day trial with no credit card. CSV import, plus a screenshot importer that rebuilds open quotes from another system. Watch out for Not a CNC CAM package: it exports DXF, but toolpaths stay in your CAM software. No photo-calibrated slab imaging. If you sell vein matching from slab photos, pair it with Slabsmith. Accounting stays in QuickBooks Online. It is not a stone ERP with its own general ledger. A younger product than Moraware, with a smaller installed base. How Stone Project runs a countertop shopSee plans and pricingStart the 14-day trial #2 ##### Moraware Best for: Established shops that want the industry default Moraware sells three connected products: CounterGo for drawing and quoting, Systemize for scheduling and job tracking, and Inventory for slabs. Its site cites 3,000+ shops and more than 20 years in the business, which makes it the name most US fabricators already know. Published price CounterGo $100/user/mo; Systemize $120/user/mo (3-user minimum, $50/user after 5); Inventory $50/user/mo (requires Systemize). Billed monthly, no contract, no implementation fee (moraware.com/pricing). Trial No trial version — buying starts with a 30-minute call Where it wins Largest installed base in US countertop shops, so hiring estimators who already know CounterGo is easier. Systemize scheduling and digital job packets are deep and shop-proven. You can buy one product without the others. Watch out for No trial version; buying starts with a sales call. Priced per product and per user, and Systemize has a 3-user minimum, so the suite grows with headcount. Quoting, scheduling and inventory are separate products to stack. No public remnant marketplace. Full side-by-side: Stone Project vs MorawareMoraware website #3 ##### ActionFlow Best for: Windows-based shops that want a low-cost start ActionFlow has sold countertop shop software since 2011: quoting, scheduling, slab inventory and payments in a Windows app with cloud data. Spring is the entry package; Process and Performance add the full workflow, each with a published price and an implementation fee. Published price Spring from $149/mo ($99/mo for the first 3 months), first user included, $49/mo per added user. Process $299/mo + $74 per added user + $3,000 implementation.

Simple published math: one price covers up to five users. Support in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Watch out for QuickBooks is a paid add-on ($69/month, online version only). CRM and a client approval portal are not the focus. Full side-by-side: Stone Project vs SlabWareSlabWare website #5 ##### SlabWise Best for: Shops whose bottleneck is nesting yield and DXF files SlabWise leads with AI slab nesting, template and DXF checks, and the handoff to production, with quoting built on top.

Easy Quote draws and quotes from saved templates with edges, cutouts and sinks, automatic slab layout and vein matching; Easy Job adds scheduling with map, calendar and timeline views; Easy Shop adds barcode inventory, remnants and production monitoring.

A Drawing Only plan sells the drawing tool alone, per user. Published price $500/month base (includes $500 seat credit), then $50 / $75 / $35 per user type. Drawing Only plan $100/user/month, no base fee. Add-ons $50–$100/month (QuickBooks $75). Published on stonify.io. Trial Demo Where it wins Seat types that match a larger shop's org chart. A public calculator instead of a sales call. Watch out for The $500/month base is a high floor for a two- or three-person shop. Accounting moves into their ERP instead of staying in QuickBooks. Full side-by-side: Stone Project vs StonifyStonify website #9 ##### Stone Profit Systems Best for: Slab distributors that also fabricate Stone Profit Systems is an ERP for stone, tile and quartz: inventory, consignment, purchasing, quotes, scheduling and accounting, with distributor, fabricator and manufacturer editions.

Barcode, bin and consignment workflows for a yard that sells slabs. Watch out for No published price; it is sold through a demo and an implementation. More system than a small residential shop needs. Full side-by-side: Stone Project vs Stone Profit SystemsStone Profit Systems website #10 ##### Slabsmith Best for: Vein matching on photographed slabs (an add-on, not a CRM) Slabsmith turns slab photos into dimension-accurate Digital Slabs, then Perfect Match lays templates on those photos. It does not quote, schedule or invoice, so most shops run it next to their shop software. Published price Basic Bundle for fabricators $15,000 USD; Slab Maker module alone (distributors) $11,000 USD. One-time purchase with the first year of maintenance; after that, 10% of current retail per year (slabsmith.com). Trial Not a SaaS trial — vendor / hardware sale Where it wins Nothing in a shop app replaces a calibrated photo station for 'this is your slab' layouts. Layouts can go on toward the CNC. Watch out for Not a CRM, scheduler or invoicing tool. A one-time license ($15,000 for the fabricator bundle) plus a photo station, not a monthly subscription. Full side-by-side: Stone Project vs SlabsmithSlabsmith website #11 ##### QuoteIQ Best for: Install-focused businesses that want a cheap mobile CRM QuoteIQ is a home-service CRM with a countertop page: AI quotes priced per square foot with edge and cutout add-ons, satellite measuring and online self-booking, on web, iOS and Android.

QuickBooks starts at Pro ($199.99/month) and the InstaQuote self-quote form at Elite ($299.99/month). QuoteIQ website #12 ##### Jobber / Housecall Pro Best for: Install-only crews that never draw a top Jobber and Housecall Pro are general field-service apps for home-service trades: quotes, online booking, scheduling, invoicing and payments, with iOS and Android apps and QuickBooks Online sync on their middle plans. Neither shows anything countertop-specific on its pricing page. Published price Jobber Core $29/mo for 1 user billed annually ($49 with no commitment). Housecall Pro Basic $59/mo billed annually ($79 monthly). Both publish larger team plans (getjobber.com/pricing, housecallpro.com/pricing). Trial 14 days, no card (Jobber Grow, Housecall Pro Max) Where it wins Mature mobile apps, online booking and payments. 14-day trials with no credit card. Watch out for No countertop drawing, square-foot stone pricing with edges and cutouts, slab layout or slab inventory. Jobber pricingHousecall Pro pricing #### How to choose, by shop ##### 1 to 5 people, mostly residential The owner measures, quotes and chases payments. You need a quote you can send from the driveway, follow-ups that happen without you, and one place for the job. Start with an all-in-one app and a published price. ##### 10 to 50 people, several departments Sales, templating, the saw and install crews all touch the job. Scheduling depth, job packets and permissions by role matter more than the quote screen. ##### CNC-heavy production Yield per slab and clean DXF files pay for themselves. Look at nesting tools and your machine's CAM software, and keep the shop app for the commercial side. ##### You sell slabs too If the yard is the business, inventory and accounting come first: slab yard software or a stone ERP. #### What countertop software should do Whatever you pick, run one real job through the trial and check these: Draw and price in one step. Square feet or full slabs, edges per linear foot, cutouts per piece, splash, fabrication and install labor. If you retype the drawing into a spreadsheet, the tool is not doing its job. Work where you measure. A phone or tablet app that keeps working without signal in a basement or a new build. Get the yes in writing. A branded quote the client can approve online, and a deposit you can collect from the same link. Schedule the whole job. Templating, fabrication and installation on one calendar, with routes for the crews. Know your slabs and remnants. What is in the yard, what is reserved for which job, and what leftover piece can be sold. Keep the books in sync. Customers, invoices and payments in QuickBooks without double entry. Let you leave. Import your clients and price lists on the way in, and export them on the way out. Show the price. A published price and a free trial tell you what the first year costs before anyone calls you. #### On a lot of lists, but a different job CNC CAD/CAM such as EasySTONE generates toolpaths for the saw or router. Shop software exports the DXF; the CAM package drives the machine. Most CNC shops need both. Manufacturing job systems such as ShopPAK cost make-to-order production well, but they do not price square feet, edges and cutouts. Generic project management (Asana, monday.com) and construction suites (Buildertrend) show up on auto-generated "best of" lists. They track tasks; none of them draws a countertop or prices a slab. #### How we built this list There are no scores here. The list starts with the tools that cover the most of a countertop job and moves toward the specialists, and each entry says which shop it fits. We did not invent ratings, and we do not quote prices from review sites or competitors' blogs: a number appears only when the vendor publishes it on its own site, and "quote" means it does not. Stone Project is first because it is the product we build and the one we can describe from the inside. The other entries say where each product is the better fit, including where it beats us. #### Questions What is the best software for a countertop fabrication business? For most small and mid-size granite and quartz shops that want quotes, jobs, remnants and invoicing in one app, Stone Project. For a shop already trained on it, Moraware (CounterGo plus Systemize). For nesting yield and CNC files, SlabWise. For an inventory-first yard, SlabWare. For a distributor that also fabricates, Stone Profit Systems. How much does countertop software cost in 2026? Published prices on vendor sites in October 2026: Stone Project from $129.99/month with every module (12-month promo, $149.99 regular); Moraware CounterGo $100 and Systemize $120 per user per month (Systemize has a 3-user minimum); Spring by ActionFlow from $149/month, Process $299 and Performance $499 plus implementation fees; SlabWise $99 to $799/month; SlabWare $249/month for up to five users; iCounterSoft from $70/month; Easy Stone Shop's Easy Quote $50/month; Stonify from a $500/month base plus seats, or $100 per user for drawing only. Stone Profit Systems does not publish prices. Slabsmith's fabricator bundle is $15,000 one-time. Install-focused CRMs such as QuoteIQ start at $29.99/month. Is there free countertop fabrication software? Not for running a shop. The dedicated tools are paid, and most let you try first: Stone Project gives 14 days with no credit card, Spring by ActionFlow 14 days, iCounterSoft 14 days (card required), SlabWare 15 days after a booked call, and SlabWise charges $1 for its first 14 days. Moraware has no trial version. Free CAD programs can draw a top, but they do not price edges, cutouts or slabs. What software do granite fabricators use? Usually a stack: a quoting and drawing tool, a scheduler, slab inventory, CNC CAM and QuickBooks. All-in-one apps such as Stone Project fold the first three into one subscription; CAM stays separate in most shops. Do I still need CAD/CAM if I buy shop software? If you run a CNC, yes. Shop software produces the drawing and the DXF; CAM software such as EasySTONE or your machine maker's package turns it into toolpaths. Can I switch countertop software without retyping open jobs? Into Stone Project, clients and price lists come in by CSV, and the screenshot importer reads a quote screen from your old system and rebuilds the client, priced lines and drawing for you to review. #### More buyer's guides Best countertop quoting and estimating software for granite shops (2026)Ranked on one thing: how fast a measurement becomes a priced quote the customer approves.Best countertop drawing and slab layout software (2026), free and paidDrawing, slab layout, nesting and CAM are four different jobs.

An estimating tool earns its price when a measurement turns into a correct, branded quote without retyping anything, ideally before you leave the customer's driveway. This guide compares the countertop quoting tools stone shops use on that one job: from measurements to a priced quote the customer can approve. Disclosure. We make Stone Project, and it is on this list. Every other entry uses only what that vendor publishes on its own website, checked between October 1 and October 22, 2026. Where another product is the better pick for a shop, the entry says so. Prices change: confirm with the vendor before you buy. #### Short answer Stone Project: Quoting at the kitchen table, on a phone or iPad Moraware: The best-known draw-and-quote tool (CounterGo) iCounterSoft: Self-serve draw-to-quote at a low monthly price SlabWise: Quotes that have to match the production nest ActionFlow: Cheap quoting plus scheduling on Windows PCs Easy Stone Shop: The cheapest published quoting plan QuickQuote: Shops that would rather own a license than subscribe Stonify: ERP shops that want dedicated drawing seats SlabWare: Estimates tied to slabs in your yard QuoteIQ: Install businesses that price by the square foot without drawings #### At a glance # Software Best for Published price 1 Stone Project Quoting at the kitchen table, on a phone or iPad From $129.99/mo (promo) 2 Moraware The best-known draw-and-quote tool (CounterGo) CounterGo $100/user/mo 3 iCounterSoft Self-serve draw-to-quote at a low monthly price From $70/mo 4 SlabWise Quotes that have to match the production nest $99–$799/mo 5 ActionFlow Cheap quoting plus scheduling on Windows PCs Spring from $149/mo 6 Easy Stone Shop The cheapest published quoting plan From $50/mo (Easy Quote) 7 QuickQuote Shops that would rather own a license than subscribe From $1,000 one-time 8 Stonify ERP shops that want dedicated drawing seats $500/mo base + seats 9 SlabWare Estimates tied to slabs in your yard $249/mo (5 users) 10 QuoteIQ Install businesses that price by the square foot without drawings From $29.99/mo Prices as published on each vendor's own website between October 1 and October 22, 2026.

Stone can be priced per square foot or by the full slab. One quote can carry several stone options, each with its own slab layout, and the client approves the one they want online. The AI Drawing Assistant drafts the drawing from a text description, a photo of a hand sketch, a PDF or a DXF, and you check it before it prices anything.

Branded PDF plus a client link to approve and pay a deposit. A quote widget for your website that sends leads, with their drawing, straight into the CRM. Automated follow-ups on quotes nobody answered. Watch out for No photo-based vein matching (that is Slabsmith's job). Not a nesting optimizer for production: Magic Layout places pieces on slabs for the quote, it does not promise a yield percentage. How estimating works in Stone ProjectSee plans and pricingStart the 14-day trial #2 ##### Moraware Best for: The best-known draw-and-quote tool (CounterGo) CounterGo is the quoting habit in a lot of US shops: draw the job, lay it on slabs and price it, often in front of the customer. It is one of three Moraware products. Published price CounterGo $100/user/mo; Systemize $120/user/mo (3-user minimum, $50/user after 5); Inventory $50/user/mo (requires Systemize).

QuickBooks from Pro; the InstaQuote self-quote form from Elite (myquoteiq.com/pricing). Trial 14 days; a card is required to start Where it wins Low entry price and mobile apps. Watch out for No countertop drawing or slab count, so stone-heavy jobs get priced without a layout. The website self-quote form starts at $299/month. QuoteIQ website #### What a countertop estimate has to price Whatever tool you use, every one of these should come from a price book, not from memory: Material: per square foot, or per full slab when you sell stone the way you buy it. Fabrication: per square foot or per piece, by material group. Edges: per linear foot, by profile (eased, bevel, ogee, mitered). Cutouts: undermount sink, cooktop, faucet holes, outlets, per piece. Backsplash and waterfalls: 4-inch splash, full-height splash, mitered waterfall legs. Installation and extras: install labor, tear-out, trip or freight charges, sealer. Sales tax: by the rule of the state where the job is installed. #### Per square foot or by the slab? Most residential quotes price stone per square foot. Many shops buy by the slab, though, and quoting "three slabs at $X" protects the margin on expensive material where the offcut has no second buyer. Pick a tool that does both and lets you decide per job. If the slab count drives the price, it has to come from a real layout of the pieces on the slab, not a guess. #### Quotes from your website A homeowner at 10 p.m. will not call. An instant-quote form on your site lets them sketch the kitchen and request a price, and the lead reaches you with the shape already drawn. Stone Project's quote widget is two lines of HTML on any site and drops the lead, drawing included, into the CRM. On this list, QuickQuote Lite ($60/month) and QuoteIQ's InstaQuote (Elite plan, $299/month) are the other self-quote options. #### How we built this list There are no scores here. The list starts with the tools that cover the most of a countertop job and moves toward the specialists, and each entry says which shop it fits.

The other entries say where each product is the better fit, including where it beats us. #### Questions What is the best countertop estimating software? For shops that quote on site and want the quote, the job and the invoice in one app, Stone Project. For shops trained on it, Moraware CounterGo. If the slab count has to match a production nest, SlabWise. What is the difference between estimating and quoting software? Estimating is working out the price from measurements, material, edges, cutouts and labor. Quoting is presenting it: the branded document, options, approval and deposit. Good countertop software does both in one step: see countertop estimating and countertop quoting in Stone Project. Should I price countertops per square foot or per slab? Per square foot is what most homeowners compare. Per slab protects your margin on premium stone where the leftover will not sell. Stone Project lets you set either one per area of the job. What is countertop takeoff software? Takeoff means measuring the tops from plans instead of on site, common on builder and multi-family work. In Stone Project the AI Drawing Assistant reads a PDF or DXF of the plan and drafts the drawing for you to check before it is priced. Can customers get a countertop quote from my website? Yes, with an instant-quote widget. Stone Project's widget lets a visitor draw the kitchen, pick material, edges and cutouts, and sends the lead with the drawing into your CRM. #### More buyer's guides Best countertop fabrication software for granite and quartz shops (2026)The full shortlist: all-in-one shop apps, ERPs, nesting tools and what install-only crews use.Best countertop drawing and slab layout software (2026), free and paidDrawing, slab layout, nesting and CAM are four different jobs.

Published price Not published — quote from DDX / the machine dealer. Trial Trial download via DDX; not a shop-app trial Where it wins If the job is driving a CNC, this is the category. Watch out for Not a quoting or customer-facing drawing tool. Price on request. Full side-by-side: Stone Project vs EasySTONEEasySTONE website #### Drawing, slab layout, nesting and CAM ##### 1. Drawing The shape of each top with real measurements, edges, seams, splash and cutouts. This is what the customer approves and what the quote is priced from. ##### 2. Slab layout Which piece comes out of which slab, where the seams fall and which way the veins run. It tells you how many slabs to sell or reserve. ##### 3. Nesting Packing many pieces, often from several jobs, onto slabs for the best yield before cutting. ##### 4. CAM Turning the DXF into toolpaths for the saw or the CNC router. This lives on the machine side. #### Free countertop drawing software: what is actually free No dedicated stone shop tool is free to run a business on. What exists: Free trials of the real tools. Stone Project is free for 14 days with no credit card; Spring by ActionFlow gives 14 days, SlabWare 15 days after a booked call, and SlabWise charges $1 for its first 14 days. Enough to draw and quote real jobs before you pay. Free general CAD. LibreCAD is free, open-source (GPLv2) 2D CAD that draws an accurate top and saves DXF, and commercial use is allowed. SketchUp Free runs in the browser, but SketchUp states it is not for commercial use. Neither knows anything about edges, cutouts, slabs or price. Paper. A sketch and a tape still work. The cost shows up later, when someone retypes it into a spreadsheet and forgets a cutout. The hidden cost of a free drawing tool is the second step: the quote, the slab count and the shop drawing all get rebuilt somewhere else. #### Measuring and templating Drawings start with a measurement. Shops use a tape and a sketch for the estimate, and physical or digital templates for the final one: laser templators such as Laser Products' LT-2D3D (paired with its LT3Raptor software, $58.50 per user per month billed yearly plus a $500 setup fee) or digital measuring devices such as Prodim's Proliner, both priced on request. If your templating system writes DXF, make sure your drawing software can read it in the right units. For the slabs and remnants in your yard, Stone Project measures a piece with the phone camera (LiDAR on iPhones and iPads that have it) and writes the size onto the inventory record: a catalog measurement, not a cut list. #### How we built this list There are no scores here. The list starts with the tools that cover the most of a countertop job and moves toward the specialists, and each entry says which shop it fits. We did not invent ratings, and we do not quote prices from review sites or competitors' blogs: a number appears only when the vendor publishes it on its own site, and "quote" means it does not. Stone Project is first because it is the product we build and the one we can describe from the inside. The other entries say where each product is the better fit, including where it beats us. #### Questions What is the best countertop drawing software? For a drawing that prices itself and goes straight into the quote, slab layout and DXF, Stone Project. For vein matching on real slab photos, Slabsmith. For automatic nesting and DXF cleanup, SlabWise. For CNC toolpaths, a CAM package such as EasySTONE. Is there free countertop drawing software? General-purpose free CAD can draw a top and save a DXF, but it does not price edges, cutouts or slabs, and some free CAD editions are licensed for non-commercial use only. The stone-specific tools are paid, with free trials: Stone Project gives 14 days with no credit card. What is slab layout software? It places each countertop piece on a slab, shows where the seams fall and which way the veins run, and tells you how many slabs the job needs. Nesting goes further and packs pieces from many jobs for the best yield. Can countertop drawings go to my CNC? Yes, as DXF. Stone Project exports DXF from the drawing, including a separate-pieces export where each piece is its own closed shape. Your CAM software then generates the toolpaths. Can I import a DXF from a digital templating system? Yes. Stone Project imports DXF files, moves the drawing to the origin and lets you confirm the units before it becomes a priced drawing. Do I need an iPad to draw countertops? No. Stone Project's drawing tool runs on iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows and the web. Many templaters prefer an iPad with a pencil on site, and a phone is enough for a simple kitchen. #### More buyer's guides Best countertop fabrication software for granite and quartz shops (2026)The full shortlist: all-in-one shop apps, ERPs, nesting tools and what install-only crews use.Best countertop quoting and estimating software for granite shops (2026)Ranked on one thing: how fast a measurement becomes a priced quote the customer approves.
