Booking and quoting for extension builders in New Zealand.

The design consult has a price on it
A site measure or a design consult carries a set price and a real slot. The extension itself comes through as an enquiry, not a booking.

Start dates move when the approval does
Approvals run long and wet fortnights happen. Drag the start to the new week and the address, the crew and the notes go with it.

A design consult, a site measure and a handover walkthrough carry a set price and a real slot, so the homeowner books one the evening they decide to get serious. The build itself is never bookable.

Then it sits with them for a month.
Nothing about an extension is decided the week it is quoted. You can see which version has been opened, which has been opened four times in one night, and which has not been read at all.

One address, a year of decisions.
First consult, revised drawings, the quote they accepted and everything paid against it stay on the property, so the conversation in month eleven starts where month one left off.
Booked to next winter, still worth asking.
Nobody planning an extension expects to start next week. A full diary is not a problem for this trade. An empty-looking booking page is.
The enquiry lands with the plans on it
With no slots showing, the page takes the request rather than closing the door, and the drawings and the address arrive attached.
Answer with a month, not a date
People waiting on an approval will wait for a builder too. They mostly want to know which side of Christmas you mean.
It sits in the one inbox
The request becomes a thread against that address, so following it up in six weeks is not a hunt through your phone.
We have drawings for a rear extension off the kitchen. Are you taking work on for next year?
One extension, three versions of it.
The extension as drawn, the extension with the second bathroom, the extension with the deck across the back. Three ways to say yes.
Priced off the new floor area
Square metres of new floor is the driver, so the number moves with the drawings instead of being rebuilt every time the plan changes.
Finishes are options, not new quotes
The second bathroom, the bifolds and the benchtop each carry their own price change on the document the client is already reading.
A number set once
The quote number is fixed the moment it is issued, so their copy and your copy are unmistakably the same document nine months on.
Staged payments come with Pro
Staged payment requests come with Pro: a leg at foundations, a leg at closed-in and the balance at handover, each sent against the booking once it exists. Cash and bank transfer are free on every plan.

When the approval lands three months late.
The fortnight you held for the foundations is worth nothing where it is. Moving it is a drag on the calendar, not an evening of rewriting.
Drag the start to the new week
The address, the scope and everything quoted stay attached to the job. Only the dates move.
The crew sees it themselves
Whoever was on those days sees the change without a round of texts going out at six in the morning.
Free on any plan
Moving work around the calendar was never the part you pay for.
Built for builders
Built for the work that gets added to a house
Villa and bungalow extensions
Priced off the new floor area, with the roof line and the joinery to match as options, so the client chooses a version instead of a number.
Sleepouts and minor dwellings
A long approval and a short build. The quote can expire, so the price you gave in autumn is not still being held to you in spring.
Second-storey additions
The consult books at a set price, the quote prices the new floor, and the accepted quote lands on the calendar with the address already on it.
Decks and outdoor rooms
Small enough to sell fast, big enough to need options. The decking, the roof and the screening each carry their own price change on the same quote.
Garage conversions
Booked off the site measure and priced by floor area, with the insulation and the new opening as options rather than three separate documents.
Open-plan knock-throughs
The beam and the make-good are the whole argument. Quote them as their own lines so the client can see what the wall actually costs.
Bathroom additions
Short work that fills the fortnight between approvals. Set price, booked online, straight onto the day instead of out as another quote.
Reclad and repair work
The property record holds what you found last time, so the second call about the same wall does not start from scratch.
Handover walkthroughs
A booked slot at the end of the build with the client, the address and everything quoted along the way sitting on one record.
Three live sites and one set of hands.
The framer is on the second storey, the apprentice is on the deck that pays for the wait, and you are at a consult across town. One lane per person, so you can see who is where before you promise anyone a morning.
How far you will drive every morning.
A trade that visits a site once can cover half an island. You are on this one daily for two months, so the line matters more, not less.
Drawn once, along the roads you take
Follow the way you actually drive rather than a circle on a map, so the coverage matches the run you already do.
Outside it, work asks first
An address past the line arrives as an enquiry instead of putting itself into your week for you to find later.
The drive is never a charge
Coverage decides what books itself and what has to ask. It has nothing to do with the price.

Money that arrives across a build.
Most of this trade is still settled by transfer, and recording one costs nothing at all. Cards are the part that sits on Pro.
Cash and transfer are free
Mark it paid and the receipt goes out on its own. No plan is involved in the way most of your money already arrives.
Cards come with Pro
For the client who would rather tap for the consult than go looking for your account details.
Staged, after the booking
Pro splits a signed build into foundations, closed-in and handover. It happens against a job that exists, not at a checkout.

Common questions.
Yes. The consult, the site measure and the handover walkthrough sit on your booking page at a set price against your real availability. The build itself is not bookable, so nobody puts a villa extension in your diary at midnight.
As versions of the same project. The extension as drawn, the extension with the second bathroom, the extension with the deck carried across the back, priced off the new floor area with the finishes as options on one document.
The quote carries an expiry date so your pricing stays current through the wait, and the accepted quote becomes a booking you drag to whatever week the approval lands in. Nothing is rewritten.
Yes, once the job exists. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free on any plan. Cards and staged payment requests come with Pro, and they go out against the booking after it is signed, never at a checkout.
No. Staff see the address, the start time and the scope for the days they are on. Prices, quotes and payments stay with the owner and whoever holds the manager role.
Setting up takes an afternoon and only needs the work you sell repeatedly: the consult, the measure, the walkthrough. Live jobs go in as bookings with their client and address so the messages start filing themselves.
