From the first look at a two-storey render job to the day the last kwikstage bay comes down and the invoice is squared away.
Online booking
Nobody prices a scaffold off a phone call. Put a site look on your page, let the builder pick a morning, and turn up ready to measure.

A scaffold job is two visits weeks apart with hire sitting in between. Book both when you quote and the strip stays on the board.

Scaffolding runs out of stock before it runs out of hours. When the board has nothing, the page says so and takes the enquiry anyway.
A scaffold stands for weeks, so the dismantle is a date you set while you are quoting rather than something you hope somebody remembers in March.
Three ways to price it: bare access to the rear, full wrap with edge protection to the roofline, or that plus debris netting and a loading bay.
Bays, lifts and hire weeks are separate lines, so when the builder queries the number you can show him which part it came from.
The total moves as you add netting or another four weeks. No calculator on the ute bonnet, no figure you have to walk back later.
The quote goes from the phone while you are still parked out front, which is usually before the other bloke has rung back.
Pro: bolt the extras on as options with their own price. Netting, shrink wrap, a ladder access bay, an extra four weeks of hire. Each one moves the quoted total when the builder ticks it.
Where it is, what is going up, what it costs and when it comes down, all attached to the job before the truck is loaded.
Every site you have wrapped for them, what you charged and what is still standing, on one card instead of in last year's notebook.
A scaffold quote sits with three others on a builder's phone. See what has been read and what has been signed, so the one worth a call is obvious.
Built for your trade
A full wrap to a two-storey house, quoted by elevation with the hire period stated up front so the plasterer knows what he has and when it goes.
Edge protection for a re-roof, booked in the day before the roofer starts and stripped the day after he finishes, both dates on the board when you quote.
Bay-by-bay pricing for a first-floor addition, with the lift height and the number of bays sitting on the quote as separate lines the builder can query.
Handrail and mesh to a slab pour, a short job with a fixed strip date, so it never sits forgotten on site racking up hire nobody is paying.
Aluminium towers out on hire by the day or the week, with the pickup date on the job so the yard knows what is due back and when.
A deck across a shop or a hall, priced on the floor area, usually booked overnight or over a weekend when the place is shut.
A small tricky scaffold with an awkward tie-in, quoted after a site look rather than over the phone, because the photo never shows the parapet.
Wrapping a scaffold for a paint or a sand job, sold as an option on top of the base scaffold so the price moves when the builder decides.
The build slips, the scaffold stays. Add the weeks to the open job and send the extra invoice from it, so billed hire matches standing hire.
The dismantle booked as its own visit with its own crew, because the gang that put it up is halfway across town by then.
Scaffolding gets paid twice and neither payment should need chasing. Record what comes in by hand for nothing, or take cards on Pro.
Mark the job paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and always will.
Send a card link for the erect and another for the hire when the build runs over.
Ask for part on erect and the rest on strip. Staged requests come with Pro, and they go out after the job is booked.
A load of gear has a sensible radius and past it the job stops paying. Set the suburbs you cover and the page respects them.
Draw the area around the yard. Addresses outside it are told straight away rather than a week later.
If you run gear out of two sheds, each one keeps its own patch and the jobs fall to the right shed.
Inside your area the rate is the rate. Bookables never quietly adds anything for a longer run.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
One app for the whole job
Yes. Each person on your team carries their own record, so you can note who holds Basic, Intermediate or Advanced and who holds no scaffolding ticket at all. The board shows you who is free, and it is on you to send the right class to the right job.
The job stays open until you strip it. When the builder rings on week nine, add the extra weeks to the job and send the extra invoice from the same record, so the hire you billed always matches the hire that actually ran.
No, and you would not trust it if it did. You quote the elevations, the hire period and the extras yourself. What Bookables does is keep the quote, the erect date, the strip date and the money on one job so none of them drift apart.
Yes. Quoting, the schedule, the online booking page, your customer list and the inbox are free to use, and there is no cap on how many bays you put up. Card payments and the automatic parts come with Pro.
Bookables is not an inspection register, and it does not sign anything off. It holds the job: who the scaffold is for, where it is, when it went up and when it is due down, with your notes and photos attached to that record.
There is a generous monthly allowance on the free plan and most one and two-gang outfits never get near it. When you do, Pro is priced per booking rather than per seat, so putting another dogman on does not cost you anything.
