Less admin, more bookings

Made for building design & drafting businesses

Prepare each design and drafting session

Start with the drawing diary, client context and briefs in view. Preparation is clearer before the first appointment.

  • The day makes senseSee initial design briefs, floor plan reviews, extension concepts in one working order, with durations that match the service rather than a default block.
  • Context before the callOpen the booking to check briefs, mark-ups and drawing revisions before the client arrives, calls or meets you on site.
  • Ownership is visibleThe assigned building designer and appointment details stay clear to the team, so the work is not quietly waiting in someone else’s calendar.

Make quieter drawing diary time bookable

Offer design and drafting session openings around regional travel and office days; keep preparation, travel and involved work protected.

  • Open selected timeChoose when each design and drafting session can be booked. Clients see useful design and drafting session availability without gaining access to every diary gap.
  • Regular work stays regularUse standing bookings for repeat design and drafting sessions and set the ending rule that fits the client relationship.
  • Quiet gaps can moveUse coupons when you want to encourage bookings into quieter openings, without changing how the core design and drafting session is managed.

Track the design fee

The amount paid and the design and drafting session stay connected, whether you record an offline payment or use online card payment with Pro.

  • Offline payments countRecord cash or bank transfer manually on Free when the design fee is settled outside Bookables.
  • Card payment when usefulWith Pro, take full online card payment for the booked design and drafting session, giving the fee a clear home beside the appointment.
  • A cleaner client recordSee the design fee beside briefs and the appointment, rather than matching a bank line to a vague calendar entry later.
