Custom service
Bulido ships with a starter catalog of common remodelling services (painting, flooring, tile, etc.). Almost every shop also does something the default list doesn't cover: signature finishes, less common services, specific product brands. For those, add custom services to the catalog.
Where to add a custom service
Two paths:
1. From the catalog (recommended for the first ones)
Open Services & Pricing → Catalog, pick the right section (Internal / External / Additional), and click Add service. Fill in:
- Service name (required, 2–255 characters).
- Category (required).
- Unit: m², lm, pcs, set, kg, l.
- Price (required, positive).
Click Save. The service lands in the catalog and is available in all your future quotes.
2. Right from the quote form
While building a quote, in a room click Add custom service instead of picking from the list. Type the name, unit, quantity, and price directly into the line item.
Below the field there's a checkbox Add this service to my catalog. Tick it and the new item is saved to your catalog at the same time, so next time you can pick it from the list instead of typing it from scratch.
Automatic calculation
The add-service form (from the catalog) has an Automatic calculation field. Pick one of:
- No: enter the quantity manually in every quote.
- Wall area: painting, plastering.
- Ceiling / Floor: ceiling painting, flooring, screed.
- Room perimeter: skirting boards, trim.
When you add this service to a room with dimensions, Bulido derives the quantity from the matching dimension. No manual entry needed.
If the service doesn't fit any of these (e.g. lump-sum demolition), leave it on No and enter the quantity yourself.
Your services vs system services
Bulido distinguishes system services (the starter catalog shipped with the app) from your own custom services. Your items show up alongside system ones in the catalog and are easy to tell apart. Every service — your own and system — can be edited (name, price, unit) and removed from your catalog. For your own services you can also change the automatic calculation; on system services that column is read-only. Removing your own service deletes it, while removing a system service simply hides it from your list.
