A deck is most of a week, a sticking door is half an hour, and both want the same Wednesday. Quote them, book them and get paid without the notebook on the dash.
Online booking
Rotten weatherboard, a gate off its hinges, a door swollen through winter. Give the short jobs a real duration and they slot into the gaps.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
Bearers Monday, joists Tuesday, decking Wednesday and Thursday. One block on the calendar, so nothing gets booked into the middle of it.
Learn moreFraming days, boarding days, a fit-out that eats a Thursday. A carpentry diary is read across weeks, so the honest question is never what time you are free — it is which week is still open.
Carpentry books out in weeks. When the days are gone the page stops offering them and asks instead.
If the deck has taken Monday to Thursday, those days are not on the page. The calendar decides, not a guess.
They leave the job, the address and a photo of the rot rather than ringing the next builder on the list.
It is sitting in the inbox with the detail attached, so the quote takes minutes rather than another call.
Photos attached. Happy to wait for a week that suits you — how far out are you booking at the moment?
A week of framing an hour out is worth the drive. A half-hour door adjustment an hour out is not. Draw the areas you work and the site holds that line.
Mark the suburbs on the map. Inside, people book. Outside, they get the enquiry form.
You will drive further for a cladding job than for a sticking door, and the areas can say exactly that.
We never add money for a longer trip. Where you will go is a boundary, not a surcharge.
Every deck enquiry runs the same way: how big, what timber, is the old one coming out. One estimate carrying pine, kwila and vitex options.
Pro: option groups. Handrail or open edge, one step or a full run, stained or left to grey off. Each carries a price difference and the total updates, so the number they accept is the number you invoice.
Square metres of decking, lineal metres of handrail, days of labour. Nothing on the estimate is a mystery.
The deck at the house and the fence at the bach on one estimate, each line keeping its own address when it books.
Estimate numbers are set behind a confirmation and never change, so your records and the client copy agree.
Built for your trade
Priced by area with the timber as an option, booked as the run of days the framing and boarding actually take.
Rot cut out and replaced. Quoted hourly with a materials line, because nobody knows what is behind it yet.
A long job with a lot of stages. Book the whole run and keep the owner and the surveyor on one thread.
Sash windows, scotia and skirting matched to what is there. Priced per room so the owner can stage it.
The joinery arrives, you fit it. Book the install against the delivery date and keep both on the same job.
Days of framing booked in one block, with the builder and the owner reading the same calendar as you.
The half-hour job that fills the gap between two bigger ones instead of costing you two phone calls.
Posts, beams and roofing on separate estimate lines, so the client can see what dropping the roof saves.
Priced per metre off a photo, booked in the half day it takes, paid before you leave the driveway.
Skirting, scotia, doors and hardware priced by room, booked around whoever is still in the house.
A sticking door or a gate that needs rehanging is too small to quote and too easy to lose. Put it on your page with its own price and its own length and it lands in the gap on its own.
Every deck, robe and rehung door at that property on one record. When they ring three years later about matching the boards, you are reading what you actually used rather than guessing.
The kwila did not land, the concrete is green, the sparky is still in the wall. The day moves and the rest of the run moves behind it.
Push the block to Thursday and every day inside it goes with it. On any plan, the free one included.
Your chippy opens the app on site and reads exactly what you are reading back at the yard.
The change goes out on the job thread, so nobody is standing in the backyard at seven waiting on you.
Most of this money still arrives by bank transfer, and recording that by hand is free and stays free. Cards are the part that comes with Pro.
Mark the job paid and you are done. No fee, no plan, nothing waiting to clear.
Send the link from the driveway and the small job is settled before you are back on the road.
Staged payments are Pro: ask at frame-up and again at handover, after the job is booked rather than at checkout.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
One app for the whole job
No. This is job software and it does not touch your licensing. Restricted building work has to be done or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and the Carpentry class is the one most builders hold, but that is between you and the scheme. Quoting and booking work the same either way.
Yes. Book it across the days it really takes and the calendar shows the block, so a Thursday enquiry lands the following week rather than on top of your decking day. Shift the block and every day inside it shifts too.
Anything bigger than a repair should be quoted. Put framing, cladding, joinery and labour on their own lines with quantities and rates, send it, and let it sit. Nothing hits the calendar until it is accepted and you choose the week.
Option groups are a Pro feature: pine, kwila or vitex, each carrying its own price difference. The client ticks and the total moves, which saves you rewriting the same estimate three times.
Recording cash and bank transfer by hand is free and stays free. Card payments come with Pro, which is what lets a small repair be paid off before you have got the trailer hitched.
Yes, with their own login. They see the jobs they are on and nothing else: rates, client records and the money side stay with whoever runs the business.
