Build documents using saved items

Instead of typing out every line, just pull the information from your saved item list. The cost, markup, and pricing all carry over automatically, whether you’re building a job estimate, creating an invoice, or sending a purchase order.

Control visibility and sync with QuickBooks

Choose what shows customers and vendors with simple visibility toggles. Show or hide fields like cost, SKU, or item code depending on the document. And if you use QuickBooks Online, your services and materials can sync directly, so everything stays up to date.

Cinderblock cleaned up our entire process.

We no longer have notes and prices scattered everywhere. When we’re building an invoice, the whole team pulls line items from the same list, so nothing ends up with the wrong pricing.

FAQs

If you have any questions about Cinderblock or its features, feel free to reach out.

Our team is here to help with any issue you run into, just contact us and we’ll get back to you quickly. That said, Cinderblock is intuitive by design, and you’ll see a short onboarding walkthrough when you sign in. Everything from setup to daily use is designed to be simple, even if you’re not tech-savvy.
When you build an estimate, invoice, or purchase order, the item details are fully editable in the interface. Saved items simply give you a starting point with default cost, markup, and price, but you can update any field as needed to match the specific job or client.
You have full control over what each team member can access and what fields appear in your documents. Use simple toggles to hide things like cost, markup, or item codes when building estimates, invoices, or POs. You can also set detailed user permissions to control what different roles can see or edit throughout the app.
Yes. If you have a service or material that’s similar to something you’ve already saved, you can duplicate the existing item and just tweak the details. This is useful when creating variations of the same type of service or material without needing to re-enter everything manually.
Yes. The mobile app works just like the desktop version. You can create, edit, and delete saved items right from your phone. Crew members can also use those items when building estimates or sending out invoices on-site, so everything stays consistent no matter where you are.
