How Billdr Changed Their Day-to-Day
Trevor Pawliczka and Katla Davidson of T2 Renovations transformed their business from a fragmented back-office into a streamlined "one-stop shop". By consolidating disjointed tools like Excel, Word, and DocuSign into Billdr, they eliminated administrative bottlenecks to prioritize personal health and family.
Before Billdr
- Juggling Excel, Word, Drive, DocuSign, and QuickBooks. Constant switching between apps to find project files.
- Relying on a physical whiteboard to manually track leads and discovery calls.
- Heavy manual data entryin Word or Excel, leading to slow client response times.
- A tedious cycleof drafting in Word, converting to PDF, and uploading to DocuSign.
- Admin acted as a manual "link", searching multiple platforms for project data.
- Extremely early mornings and late nights spent on manual business administration.
After Billdr
- A unified "one-stop shop" where every project document is stored in one place.
- A digital pipelineproviding real-time visibility from initial inquiry to final estimate.
- Using professional templatesto "speed through" quotes while maintaining high detail.
- Integrated contracting that handles drafting and signatures without external software.
- Real-time access to a concise dashboard ensuring everyone sees current project data.
- Tasks finished during work hours, freeing up 2–3 hours every evening for family.
It's changed my day-to-day. I spend my days on it. It's an easy database to use, it's client-facing, and it does everything we need it to do.
Why T2 Renovations Loves Billdr
From quoting to client communication, Billdr helped the team centralize operations and reduce administrative overhead.
1. The "One-Stop Shop" Advantage
Katla explains that having a single, centralized database for all contracts and documents was the primary factor that "sold" her on the platform.
2. A Digital Upgrade to the Whiteboard
The team replaced their physical office whiteboard with the digital Client Pipeline, allowing them to track inquiries, discovery calls, and estimate statuses in real-time.
3. Rapid, Professional Quoting
By moving away from manual data entry and utilizing built-in templates, the team can now "speed through" quotes while maintaining the professional detail clients expect.
4. Instant Technical Support
Trevor and Katla both highlight the integrated chat feature, which allows them to resolve technical questions or software concerns within minutes.
5. Seamless Transition
Despite years of using Excel and Google Drive, the team found the platform intuitive enough to fully "ditch the old stuff" and integrate Billdr into their daily workflow within weeks.
“I’ve been able to free up a lot of my time”
“…and dedicate some personal time to myself - go to the gym in the morning and spend two or three hours with my family and the kids in the evening.”
