The finishes schedule that stops being a document
One item becomes the budget line, the schedule row, the client's approval, the purchase order line and the invoice line.
Add it once, everything else keeps up · 0:51
A finishes schedule is where every studio's system cracks first. The builder has Rev A, the client marked up Rev B, and the real answers live in your head and a spreadsheet called FINAL-v3. Every change means re-typing reality into a document that was stale before you saved it.
In Mortar, the schedule isn't a document you maintain. It's the live state of the project — and the document gets generated from it, correct on the day you issue it.

One row per finish, coded like your drawings
Every item lives in a room with a reference code — FL-01, WA-02 — and Mortar suggests the next one in sequence. Application, finish and colour, supplier, product code, dimensions, quantity and unit, status from specified through issued to installed. Paste a product URL and the details fill themselves in.
Approvals land on the schedule, not in your inbox
Your client gets their own login and sees the selections — never your trade pricing, and if you choose, never your supplier names. They approve or comment per item, and the schedule updates itself. The chasing stops because there's nothing to chase.
Issue it in one click — and freeze it forever
Export a room-grouped schedule as PDF: the designer version with everything, or a client-safe version filtered through that client's exact visibility settings. CSV for anyone who insists on a spreadsheet.
And when you issue properly: Rev A. Mortar freezes exactly what the schedule says into a permanent record — issued revisions can never be edited or deleted, and you can see what changed since. No more arguments about which version the builder has.
Bring the schedule you already have
Import your existing FF&E spreadsheet — including our free template — and Mortar builds the rooms and lines for you. Column mapping takes about two minutes, and it remembers your format for next time.
FAQ
Can my client see trade pricing or suppliers?
Only if you want them to. Price visibility (full / totals only / hidden) and supplier visibility are set per client link — and the client-safe export uses the same rules. Your margins never appear anywhere client-facing, ever.
Does it replace my drawings?
No — it cross-references them. The reference codes on the schedule are the codes on your plans, so "FL-01" means the same thing on site and on screen.
What about FF&E?
Same system. Finishes and loose items live as rooms and items with the same codes, statuses and approvals — the export groups them by room.
