Adding materials in the web app

Learn where to add materials in the Duranta web app, which material types you can use and how to set a price margin.

Materials are the products you use on a job, such as mulch, fertilizer, plants, edging or pavers. You can add them while you build an estimate, or save them in your Favorites to reuse.
