Primer, bond breaker, two coats, flood test, tiler in. Bookables holds the whole sequence in one job instead of four texts and a note on the dash.
Online booking
Your page asks what it needs to ask — tile or vinyl, ground floor or level four, is the tiler already booked — and puts the inspection in a real slot.

A second coat is not a new job, it is the same job on Thursday. Block the coats, the flood test and the handover together so no tiler goes in early.
Learn morePrep, primer, bond breaker, coat one, the cure, coat two, the flood test, the handover. Eight things across four days, and the trade behind you only cares about the last one.
Not four bookings pretending to be strangers. One job, with its stages, its membrane system and its photos all on the same record.
A twenty-four hour hold is time on the calendar with your name against it, which is the only version of it a builder cannot talk you out of.
The tiler goes in after the flood test, not the afternoon you finished coating. Put that on the calendar and the argument stops happening.
Ten minutes after you leave, your work is under a screed and nobody will ever look at it again — until it leaks, and then everybody looks at once.
The system you used, the coats you put on, the day it was flood tested and what you charged, still there four winters later.
The shots you take before the screed goes down sit against the booking they belong to, rather than in a camera roll with your kids in it.
A builder or a building manager is one customer with a file per property, so the block you did last spring is not eleven loose conversations.
Every wet area you seal
The builder picks the day the screed is down. The job carries the wall height, the substrate and the coat count, so the quantities are on the quote.
Book the inspection first and quote after. Grout seal, re-seal with the tiles left in place, or strip and re-membrane, priced as three options.
Priced on area, so a fifteen square metre balcony and a sixty square metre entertaining deck come out of the same form at different numbers.
The fiddly ones. Quote the drainage cell, the protection board and the upstands as their own lines, so the builder sees what the last quote left out.
Negative and positive side go on as separate options with their own price, and the job holds the site access notes the excavator driver needs.
A building with eleven balconies is eleven addresses on one estimate, each with its own line, and eleven bookings when the committee approves the scope.
Weather-dependent work you will move twice. Drag it to a dry day and the owner, the builder and your applicator all see the new date.
The twenty-four hour hold is a booking, not a gap. It sits on the calendar between the final coat and the tiler so the sequence cannot collapse on itself.
The small ones that pay well when you get three in a day. Book them in a run through the same suburb instead of scattering them across a fortnight.
A short paid visit that ends in a quote. Take the money on the day, then send the estimate with the photos and the falls already written into the scope.
The owner wants a number. There are three: seal the grout and hope, re-membrane over the existing tiles, or strip it back and re-lay the falls.
Pro adds option groups, so a hob, a shower niche or a second coat over a green screed each carry their own price and add themselves on when the customer ticks the box.
Square metres of membrane, linear metres of bond breaker, number of penetrations. Each is a line with a quantity and a rate, so the total explains itself.
Screed to falls, tile removal, making good. Write them once as lines you add or leave off, and the argument about scope happens before the job, not after.
Every estimate takes its number when you send it and keeps it. No two documents with the same number turning up in a strata manager filing cabinet.
External membrane work lives at the mercy of the forecast, and half your week is a set of jobs that were meant to happen yesterday.
Move a roof deck to Thursday and the owner, the builder and the applicator all see the new time without you sending three messages.
A job is coat one, coat two, flood test and handover. Shift the job and the steps travel together instead of stranding a tiler.
Moving work around the day is not the paid part. It is the calendar doing what a calendar is for.
Waterproofing is invisible the moment the tiler arrives, which is exactly why the money should not wait until the end of the job.
Mark it paid on the spot and the receipt goes out on its own. That costs nothing on any plan and always will.
A tap on the phone before you leave the driveway, and a link a builder can forward to whoever actually pays the bills.
A basement tanking job over three weeks can bill on deposit and completion, each as its own payment against the same booking.
There is a wet patch on the ceiling under the ensuite and it is getting bigger. Can someone look at the shower this week?
Waterproofers run full, then get a call about a shower that is leaking into a downstairs ceiling. The page has to say something better than nothing.
Every waterproofer has a line on the map where the job stops being worth the drive, and a page that ignores it books work you then have to ring and cancel.
One app for the whole job
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
It does not, and no software should pretend to. What it does is hold the sequence AS 3740 implies — substrate prep, primer, bond breaker, membrane to the right height, flood test — as bookable steps on one job, with your notes and photos against each. The standard is yours to work to. The calendar just stops the steps from being skipped because a builder was in a hurry.
Balconies, decks, planter boxes and roof terraces price on area, which is one of the built-in pricing drivers, so the form asks for square metres and does the arithmetic. The details that actually decide the job — falls, upstand heights, drainage cell, protection board — go on the estimate as their own lines with quantities, so what you allowed for is written down before anyone starts.
Not at online checkout — that was removed. Staged payments are real and they come with Pro: once the booking exists you can raise a payment for the deposit stage and another on completion, each with its own card link. Plenty of waterproofers just take the lot on sign-off, and recording cash or a bank transfer by hand is free on every plan.
Nothing in Bookables checks or displays your licence, and you should be suspicious of software that claims to. Waterproofing is licensed work in some states — Building Commission NSW and the QBCC both licence it off the back of CPC31420 — and your number belongs on your quotes and invoices, which is text you control. Put it in your estimate footer once and it rides along on every document.
It fits better, honestly. A builder who sends you six bathrooms in one block gets one estimate with six lines and six addresses on it, then six bookings when they sign. The site contact, the access notes and the trade sequence sit on each booking, so your applicator turns up knowing whose site it is and who to ring when the screed is not down.
The part you use every day. Quoting, booking, the calendar, the customer list, coverage areas, your team and recording cash or bank transfer cost nothing. Pro is for the automation: card payments, staged payments and slot ranking that scores your open times by the driving they add. The plan cards on this page carry the numbers.
