From the first look at a bowing sandstone fence, through the template appointment and the quote, to the morning the slabs come off the truck.
Online booking
Your page shows the days you can get to a site and takes the address with the booking, so the first conversation happens standing at the wall.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
Shop days and site days sit on the same schedule. Drag the install when the slab is late and the crew, the customer and the day all move with it.
Learn moreThe sandstone fence out the front is bowing badly at the corner. Can it be rebuilt with the old blocks?
Stone work runs long. When the page has nothing left this side of the wet season, the customer can still say what they want.
Nobody should be able to buy a stone wall from a page. What your page hands out is the twenty minutes with a tape, which is the only honest thing to sell before you have seen the ground and the access.
What you matched, what the mortar was and which elevation you did last time stay on the address, so the call about the next crack does not start with you trying to remember a mix from four years ago.
Dry-laid recycled blocks, sawn ashlar, or hand-dressed rock face with a bullnose capping are three different weeks of work on one footprint.
Square metres, linear metres and hours go on as lines, so a change of stone moves one number instead of the whole document.
A quote covering the front wall and the back paving can carry both addresses, so the day each one gets done is never a guess.
Quote numbers are set once behind a confirm and never quietly change, which matters the day someone puts two versions side by side.
Pro turns the choices into option groups: capping profile, rock face or sawn, a lime pointing upgrade. Each one carries its own price movement, so the total redraws itself as the customer clicks.
It happens most weeks. Moving the fix should take one drag, not four phone calls and a rubbed-out whiteboard.
Pick the booking up, drop it on Thursday. The crew, the address and the notes go with it on any plan.
The new date goes out from the record, so nobody turns up to a locked gate on the strength of the old one.
Fabrication and fixing are separate bookings on the same job, so pushing one does not silently strand the other.
Measure, cut and fix are three days in two places, and treating them as one entry is how a saw day quietly disappears. Each is its own booking under the same job, with the same customer, the same stone and the same notes.
A headstone or a whole elevation is not decided in an afternoon. Sent, opened and accepted each show on the quote, so the follow-up call goes to the person who read it twice rather than to everybody.
Built for stone
Priced off the face area you measured, with the capping metres on their own line so a change of capping does not mean re-quoting the wall.
Coping runs in linear metres, paving in square metres. Two drivers on one estimate, and the customer can see which half the money is in.
Template appointment, fabrication day and install day are three bookings on one job, so the schedule shows the saw and the site separately.
A short job with a long lead time. Book the fix day against the delivery week and the customer gets the date once, not four times.
Quote the elevation by the square metre, with corners and returns as their own line, because that is where the labour actually goes.
Raking out and repointing prices by the hour or the metre. Both are real drivers, so pick whichever one you can defend to the owner.
A quiet job with a hard date. Keep the inscription wording, the cemetery permit and the fix day on the one record so nothing gets asked twice.
One measure, one template, one install. The good, better and best stone choices sit as options on the same quote rather than three PDFs.
Notifiable work with its own method. Keep it as a separate service so it never gets booked in as an ordinary benchtop swap by mistake.
Small money, high skill, and easy to lose track of. Each one is a booking with an address, so it turns up on the day like everything else.
A pallet of sandstone changes what a long drive means. Coverage areas draw the line once so you stop having the same conversation.
Suburbs in, suburbs out. Outside the line the page stops the booking rather than putting it on your day.
The bloke who does headstones may travel further than the wall crew. Areas are per service, not one line for the whole business.
There is no drive-time loading here and we will not pretend there is. The line is where you go, not what you add.
Two site visits on the same peninsula on the same morning is worth more than a tidy-looking calendar. Pro scores the open slots on the driving they add.
Nothing already booked gets moved. The open slots are simply ordered by how much extra driving each one buys you.
A measure-up is twenty minutes and an hour of highway. Grouping them is where the day is actually won.
The ranking is a suggestion sitting next to the slots. Take the second one if the customer only does Fridays.
Most stone money still moves as a transfer, and that has never cost anything here. Cards are the part that comes with Pro.
Mark it paid on any plan. We are not taking a slice of a bank transfer you arranged yourself.
Send a link and the balance clears while the crew is sweeping up, rather than three weeks after the last stone went in.
Split a job across the slab order and the fix. The stages go out once the booking exists, never as a charge to hold a measure-up slot.
One app for the whole job
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
The manufacture, supply, processing and installation of engineered stone has been prohibited nationally since 1 July 2024. Controlled processing of legacy engineered stone to repair, remove, modify or dispose of it is permitted work, but you must notify your WHS regulator before you do it. Bookables does not know your notification status, so keep those jobs as their own service and write the safe work method into the booking notes where the crew will read it.
You do not put the wall on your booking page. You put the measure-up on it. The customer picks a site visit, you turn up, and the quote goes out afterwards with the real square metres on it. That is the normal shape for stonemasonry and it is how the page is set up out of the box.
No. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free on every plan, which is how most sandstone work still gets paid. Cards come with Pro if you want the balance cleared before the offcuts go on the trailer. The plan cards on this page carry the numbers.
You can split a job into stages and send the first one once the booking exists, which is what most masons do before a slab order goes in. Staged payments come with Pro. There is no payment taken at online checkout, so a customer booking a measure-up is never asked for money to hold the slot.
Draw the suburbs you actually drive to as a coverage area. An address outside it stops the booking before it starts, which saves the call that ends in you explaining why the freight on a pallet of sandstone does not work from there.
Yes. Owner, Manager and Staff are separate roles. Staff get the day, the address and the cut list. What the slab landed at, and what you put on top of it, stays with the Owner.
