Stop letting tile waste eat your margin.
A bathroom that 'should' need 14 boxes ends up needing 17 by the time you've cut around the loo, the radiator, and the customer's favourite mirror. MarginPal tracks every receipt against the quoted estimate — and flags overruns before you've already paid for them.
What's eating your margin as a tiler?
Tile waste is invisible until you're buying more
10% waste is industry standard, but the customer's ensuite with three internal corners and a niche needs more. MarginPal logs every receipt against the job, and the budget-health badge flips to At Risk when materials are running hot.
Adhesive and grout creep adds up
An extra bag here, a tub of bright-white grout for one wall there — small overruns nobody notices until year-end shows margin down 5%. MarginPal logs every receipt at the till and the live margin reflects it immediately.
You don't know which jobs really earned
Without per-job margin tracking, all jobs look roughly equal at the end of the month. MarginPal shows you which specific jobs hit the margin you priced and which didn't — useful for next time you're quoting similar work.
Material tracking with budget-health alerts.
MarginPal's per-job budget badge turns amber at 80% of estimated cost and red at 100%. Snap your tile-merchant receipts and watch it shift — usually before the job's even half done.

Questions tilers ask.
Can I quote prep, levelling and tanking as separate items?
Yes — quote line items support whatever breakdown you want, each tagged Labour, Materials or Other and each with its own estimated cost. So a wet-room job can have separate lines for tanking, levelling, tile, adhesive and labour.
Can I track customer-supplied tiles separately?
Yes. If the customer's buying their own tiles, skip the materials-for-tile line on your quote and only price labour, adhesive and grout. The job then tracks just those costs against your estimate.
How does the AI know what kind of work I do?
Every job has a type, so the AI knows whether it's a wet-room, a kitchen splashback, or a floor-tiling job. It uses that context when commenting on patterns — so the insights you get are tailored to the kind of tiling you actually do, not a generic average.
