Stickframe Support
Help for the Stickframe iPhone and iPad app.
Getting Started
Create a project in the Projects tab, then tap into it to access the Scope, Takeoff, Photos, Changes, Subs, Time, and Punch sections. Quick-action buttons at the top of each project let you scan a room, start a new takeoff, draft a change order, add a photo, or clock in.
Punch List
Tap the Punch section inside any project to track open deficiencies and walk-through corrections. Tap the circle icon on any item to cycle its status: open → in progress → resolved. Add items with room, notes, assignee name, and priority using the "Add item" button at the top right. Items persist with the project and the progress bar shows how close you are to 100% resolved before closeout.
Pro Tab Tools
The Pro tab contains tools that work without any project open:
- Bid Total Calculator — enter your direct cost estimate and use sliders to set overhead %, contingency %, and markup %. The waterfall breakdown shows every step from direct costs to final client bid price. A gross-margin callout explains why your markup percentage and margin percentage are different numbers. Tap "Share bid total" to send the breakdown by text or email.
- Markup ↔ Margin Converter — drag the slider to see your real gross margin for any markup percentage, or flip the mode to find the markup needed for a target margin.
- Waste Allowance Reference — trade-standard waste factors for 10 material types. Use these to fill in the Waste % field when adding takeoff line items.
- Quick Material Estimator — enter room dimensions and switch between Drywall, Framing, and Finishes tabs to get instant sheet counts, stud counts, paint gallons, flooring area, and baseboard footage.
Exporting a Time Log to CSV
Open a project, tap the Time section, and clock in and out to record entries. Once at least one completed entry exists, an "Export CSV" button appears. Tap it to share a spreadsheet-ready file with date, start/end, decimal hours, notes, and billable status — suitable for pasting into a T&M invoice.
Change Orders and PDF Export
From any project, tap "Draft change" to open the change order composer. Fill in the title, scope, and line items. Optionally tap "Draft with Hermes" to generate a client-facing narrative (processed on-device when possible). Capture a signature if needed, then tap "Export PDF" to share a formatted packet.
Photos and Documents
Use the capture tools only when you want to add jobsite images. PDF exports are created from your local project information and shared through the standard iOS share sheet — no third-party service is involved.
