Lower Transaction Fees for project invoices
Currently Handoff charges 3.6% for credit card fees. We plan to switch payment processors to provide reduced payment fees in the range of 2.9%-3.15% for credit cards, depending on the contractor’s subscription tier with Handoff. This makes it easier for everyone to use online payments for Handoff’s project invoices.

Projects feature - store all estimates, invoices, proposals in 1 place
In the future, this transition will allow Handoff to store project photos, project notes, project drawings, change orders, material lists, and similar documents in 1 place.

Renderings: Let AI create a rendering based on my description
Sometimes, a client needs a visual to picture what the final project will look like. That rendering can help me win the deal. If AI could make a rendering of the room, the deck, the new ADU, etc at the early stage of this estimate, it would make me look more professional and help me close jobs.

Invoicing - Provide options for faster payouts
When my clients pay with Handoff invoices, Handoff pays me out once every 2 business days. Sometimes, I just need the money faster. Usually the deposit invoice is my money to go buy materials. Sometimes this needs to happen same day, next day, or over the weekend. If I get the invoice paid Friday but have to wait until Tuesday, that's can delay my projects. Please give me a faster option. Can I get Next Day? Can I get same day or instant?

Create change order
Projects change often, even after the initial proposal is signed. Let me create Change Orders with Handoff. Change Orders are like amendments to the original proposal/agreement. They function like their own mini-estimate: they have line items, qty rates and item totals, markup, etc. They should be quick to generate. Often they'll be short, like 5 lines or less. We need these change orders signed, and invoiceable.

Add a ruler and indentation controls to the document editor
I’d like a ruler in the document editor so I can adjust spacing and indentation more precisely. Other document tools have this as a standard feature and it really helps when formatting professional documents for clients. Right now there’s no easy way to control margins or indent levels visually.

Add page break support in the document editor
I would love the ability to insert page breaks when creating documents. Right now there’s no way to control where pages break when exporting to PDF, which makes it hard to format professional-looking documents. Being able to set page breaks manually would make documents much cleaner and easier to share with clients.

Plan markup and Measuring.
The AI will take my pdf plans and grab takeoffs. It would be incredibly helpful if the AI could put markups on the plan so I can review where it is getting its takeoffs from. ie hardwood floor areas show highlighted in brown, tile floor shows highlighted in a blue hatch, etc. That way without having to do any manual takeoffs I can visually confirm the AI has pulled the correct takeoffs. And the ability to manually edit the takeoffs. And also add notes and shapes etc. I find with other ai tools if they have trouble getting information from a plan, if I manually draw a few key markers they can then correctly get the information. For example if it is trying to pull siding quantities from elevation drawings, maybe there are 2 different siding types and the AI is not seeing the difference, a single line added can be all that is needed for the AI.

Link all communications to handoff
It would be ideal if we could still communicate through regular methods, text, email calls. And handoff could still track all of those and keep them linked to the contact and the specific job. That way if 6 months after a job, a customer has questions about anything, I can search in 1 spot for “sink” and see every communication related to their project regarding sink. My experience in the past with other platforms is that using the app only for communication would be great, but most subs, vendors, and even clients are still going to communicate through text. With AI’s transcribe ability, having every phone call transcribed would be fantastic. During a major remodel, it is easy to have 100’s to over a thousand total communications with a client. When issues arise it can be a major task, days, to sort through all the communications to bring clarity to a client. This feature could reduce that to minutes.

Tasks/to-Dos
I could really use tasks in the calendar. Events that I could post with a specific date, but that remain present until I mark them complete. And then the ability to see all open tasks in a list view. Having custom labels to be able to add and filter via would also be needed. Labels on everything would be a useful feature(projects, calendar events, etc) The idea being I meet with a lead, and tell them I will followup next week to schedule a meeting. I put in a todo for next Monday. If I miss it on Monday, I need it to stay visible without having to search through a calendar. So I can look a a list view of all non completed tasks across all projects. This would also work for projects like a task to order cabinets for a job,I set it for a date, but it remains visible on my list until I mark it complete. Ideally these could bidirectionally link to google calendar tasks.

Auto-Shift Schedule Tasks After Project Delays
I want schedule changes to automatically shift dependent tasks when a project gets delayed. If a job gets pushed back because of weather or another issue, I expect downstream tasks to move automatically instead of manually adjusting each phase one by one.

Add Built-In LiDAR Room Measurement & Floor Plan Capture
I want built-in LiDAR/measurement tools so I can stop paying for separate software. I currently rely on tools like Magicplan and DocuSketch to capture room measurements, floor plans, and sketches because I don’t trust photo-based estimates alone for accuracy. If Handoff could do this natively, I’d replace those tools

client view
when ever i click on client view and open things, it alerts me that my client has opened the proposal or invoice or proposal. that needs to stop. cause then you dont know if the client actually opened the proposal or not. plus it needs to show original open date and time and most recently opened date and time. or at the very least have the data inside of the file somewhere.

client messaging
you should be able to communicate with the client through the portal… That way all communication and conversations are in one location and not email or text where you may have separate conversations other than work related. possibly use the same system or alike, that you use with us when we message you guys. it sends us a text message through your system and says you can continue to communicate here or through text. if you know what i mean.

No visibility into in-progress estimates after leaving creation flow
I want a visible “estimate in progress” card inside a project when I’ve started creating an estimate but haven’t completed it yet. If I click out of the estimate creation screen and return to the project, I currently have no indication that an estimate is still being created or where to resume it. I have to self-discover by clicking “Ask AI” and searching previous chat history to find the in-progress estimate.

Add reminders for schedule tasks assigned to contacts
I want to be able to set reminders on schedule tasks that are assigned to contacts — so when a phase or task is coming up, I get notified (and ideally the assigned contact does too). Right now I can assign vendors and subs to schedule phases, but there’s no way to set a reminder to follow up or alert them automatically before the task starts. This would help me stay on top of scheduled work without having to manually track everything.

AI rendering: respect my uploaded blueprint, layout, and measurements
When I provide a blueprint or measurements, the AI rendering should follow my actual layout — not invent its own. Right now, objects get placed on the wrong walls, elements are misidentified (for example, a cabinet gets called a doorway), and the layout is ignored even when I upload a blueprint and provide measurements. I have to make multiple attempts just to get close to what I actually want. It would be a lot more useful if the AI read my spatial context — the blueprint I uploaded, the dimensions I gave — and used that as the foundation for the rendering. I compared the same inputs in Grok and got significantly better results. Handoff AI needs to catch up here.
