From the photo of a cracked ceiling to the last sand and the invoice, the whole job sits in one place instead of four.
Online booking
Almost nothing gets quoted without a look. Put the measure-up on your page with a real duration and let people take a slot while you stop a ceiling.

Board goes up, joints get stopped, coats dry, then it sands. Put each stage on the calendar with its own duration so the order holds with three jobs on.

Books short, priced by room, with the photos already on the thread. The insurer gets a real quote instead of a text message.
A run of days rather than a booking. Fix, stop, sand, each with its own duration and its own crew on the calendar.
Priced by area or by room, with the finish level as an option so what it adds is agreed before the first coat goes on.
The one you cannot quote from a photo. Books as a measure-up and comes back as an estimate with its own lines.
Restricted building work, weather dependent, priced by area. Sits on the calendar with real curing time and moves as a block.
Small and fast, and a day-wrecker when it is booked badly. Real duration, books straight in off your page.
Profile is the whole conversation, so it is an option group with a price difference rather than a guess in the total.
Booked to land between the plumber and the tiler, and when it moves both of them see it move.
Priced by room with the make-good as its own line, because the reason it is not a morning has to be visible.
Quoted after a look, never from a photo. The measure-up and the estimate belong to the same job record.
Room count, finish level, the profile to match, where the water is and how to get in. On the job when you take it, not remembered on the drive over.
Half of plastering is quoted off pictures of a stain on a ceiling. Those pictures belong on the job, not three screens deep in a phone.
One customer, a long run of jobs and a payment history worth keeping, instead of eleven separate searches through last year's messages.
A homeowner asking what plastering costs wants three numbers, not one: patch and make good, a full overskim, or strip it back and re-sheet.
Price the way you already price. Square metres for walls and ceilings, rooms for a re-stop, hours for patch and make good.
Level 4 and Level 5 sit side by side with a price difference, so the standard is agreed in writing before anyone opens a bucket.
They accept from the link and the job carries what was agreed, which is the version that settles it when the painter complains.
Pro adds the extras on top: cornice, Level 5 stopping, wet area board, taking the rubbish away. Each carries its own price difference, so the number moves while they choose.
Exterior plaster will not go on wet and stopping will not sand before it dries. Every plasterer loses days to that; the ringing around is the cost.
Move the job and the customer and the crew both find out. Free, on every plan.
Push the fixing and the stopping behind it follows, instead of leaving a hole you notice on Thursday.
The notification does the awkward bit. You get on with the next room.
A good stopper is never free next Tuesday. The page should say that plainly and still catch the person who will wait for you.
Nothing books into a week you have already promised to a builder, because the page can only offer what is left.
With no slots left they send photos and an address instead, and it lands in the inbox rather than in a missed call.
An estimate can be sent and accepted with no date on it yet. The date follows once the run in front clears.
Ceiling in the back bedroom has come down after a leak. Photos attached, is there anything before the end of the month?
Most of the money is either a progress claim to a builder or a lump on completion. Both go faster when the invoice already sits on the job.
Record what landed by hand and the job closes out. No plan needed and nothing taken off the top.
A link on the invoice beats a phone call a fortnight later. That is the part the paid plan buys.
A long fixing and stopping job can bill in stages after the booking exists. Nothing is taken when somebody books.
A ute full of board and an hour on the motorway turns a good day into a poor one. Say where you go once instead of arguing it per enquiry.
Mark the suburbs you cover. Outside them people get told plainly, instead of booking and being cancelled.
The exterior plaster crew and the interior stoppers rarely work the same patch. Each carries its own area.
Heritage solid plaster, two-storey exterior with no scaffold, whatever it is. Better on the page than on the phone.

One app for the whole job
Interior stopping does not, but external plaster does when it is restricted building work. The Licensed Building Practitioner scheme has an External plastering licence class covering things like preparing substrate, frame and reinforcing for a new external plaster system, and an LBP must carry out or supervise that work. Interior linings are unlicensed but still get built to AS/NZS 2589. Put your LBP number on the estimate template so it goes out on every quote.
For a patch or a small re-stop, usually. Ask for the photos on the thread, price the estimate by square metres or by room, send it. Anything with a water stain or older solid plaster wants a measure-up, and that books off the same page.
Make it an option on the service with its own price difference. Level 4 and Level 5 under AS/NZS 2589 are genuinely different amounts of work, and having the customer tick the higher one is a lot easier than explaining it after the painter has been through.
Move the jobs on the calendar and everyone attached to them is told. That is free on any plan, which matters here because exterior plaster loses days to weather and the ringing around afterwards is the expensive part.
Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand for free. Cards come with Pro, which is what most people want when they are chasing a builder for a progress claim. The plan cards on this page carry the numbers.
Yes, and they are different animals. A builder is one customer with a long run of jobs and a history. A homeowner is one job and a lot of questions. Both live on the same records, so nothing gets looked up twice.
