From the first look at a retrofit job through the handover to the week the last standard goes back on the truck.

Nobody prices a full wrap off a photograph. Put the site visit on your page, let the contractor pick a morning, and quote once you have seen the ties.

A scaffold is two visits with weeks of hire in between. Book both when you quote, and the dismantle stops depending on somebody remembering it.

Scaffolding runs out of kit long before it runs out of hours. When the yard is empty 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: access to the rear elevation, full height to the roofline, or the lot with monoflex sheeting and a loading bay.
Bays, lifts, sheeting and hire weeks are separate lines, so when the figure gets queried you can point at the part it came from.
Add the sheeting or another month of hire and the total follows. No arithmetic on the van bonnet and no figure to walk back.
The quote goes out while you are still parked outside, which is usually before anybody else has returned the call.
Pro: sell the extras as priced options. Sheeting, debris netting, a ladder access tower, another month on hire. The quoted figure moves as the contractor picks, and nothing gets re-typed.
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 deep retrofit means the whole house wrapped for weeks, so the hire period goes on the quote in writing before anybody lifts a standard.
Independent scaffold with a loading bay for the slates, quoted with a hire period the roofer agrees to before the first standard goes in.
A scaffold to the rear pitch for a dormer, booked around the carpenter so the gear is standing the morning the roof opens up.
The small awkward job on a slate roof, quoted after a look at the ties, because no photograph has ever shown the state of the parapet.
Bay-by-bay pricing on a rear extension, with lift heights and bay counts as separate lines the builder can question one at a time.
A working deck across a hall or a church floor, priced on the area, put in during a window when the building is not being used.
Access over a footpath on a main street shop front, where the council conversation runs beside the quote and belongs on the same job.
Sheeting priced as its own line rather than folded into the scaffold, because the contractor who asks for it should see what it costs.
The programme slips and the scaffold stays standing. The weeks go on the open job and get invoiced from it rather than lost.
The strip booked as its own visit with its own crew, because the lads who put it up are two jobs away by the time it comes down.
Two payments on every job, and chasing either is time nobody bills for. Record what lands for nothing, or take cards on Pro.
Mark it paid when the transfer arrives. That costs nothing on any plan and it is not going to change.
Send a card link for the erect, and another for the weeks the programme overran by.
Part on handover, the rest on dismantle. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is booked.
A load of kit has a sensible radius and past it the job quietly stops paying. Set the towns you cover and the page holds the line.
Draw the patch around the yard. Anything outside it hears so at once rather than after a week of silence.
Kit out of two yards means two areas, and the job lands with the yard that can actually service it.
The rate is the rate anywhere in your area. Nothing is quietly added for the far end of it.

One app for the whole job
Yes. Each scaffolder on your team has their own record, so you can note whether they hold the Basic or Advanced SOLAS CSCS scaffolding card and when it is due for renewal. Bookables issues nothing and checks nothing; the judgement stays yours.
No, and it does not claim to. It holds the job rather than the register: the address, the handover date, when it is due down, your notes and your photographs, in one place you can still find next winter.
The job stays open for as long as the scaffold stands. Add the extra weeks when the main contractor rings and invoice them from the same record, so billed hire and standing hire stay the same number.
It does not. You price the bays, the lifts, the sheeting and the hire period. What Bookables does is keep that quote attached to the erect date, the dismantle date and the payments instead of scattered across three places.
Yes. Quoting, the diary, the booking page, your customer list and the inbox cost nothing, with a monthly allowance most small crews never come near. Card payments and the automatic parts sit on Pro.
You set the rate that applies to your work and it carries onto the quotes and invoices you send. Bookables does not decide your rate or file anything for you, and it will not guess at reverse charge on your behalf.
