The survey books itself while you sleep
Somebody pricing a sectional garage at eleven at night takes a survey slot you are genuinely free for, with the address checked against your patch.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
Base day and installation on one board
Both dates hang off the one job. When the building is delayed a fortnight, the installation week is dragged across and the fitters simply see it.
Learn moreOne garage, three sizes, one quote.
A single, a double, or the double with an up-and-over door and a personal door. Priced options the customer chooses between.
Size is the price
Floor area is a real pricing driver, so the dimensions taken at the survey build the quote before the tape is back in the van.
Doors and finish are options
A second door, an up-and-over rather than a roller, or a finish off the range each carry their own price change on the same document.
A number set once
The quote number is fixed the moment it is issued, so your copy and their copy are unmistakably the same document.
Several named options come with Pro
Several named options on one quote is the Pro part. On any plan the second door, the extra eaves height and the finish sit as priced extras on the line, and the accepted document becomes the booked job.

When the delivery slips a fortnight.
The week you held for the installation is worth nothing where it now sits. Moving it is a drag rather than an evening of rewriting.
Drag it, do not rewrite it
The address, the specification and the survey photographs stay attached to the job. Only the dates move.
The base keeps its own date
Base and installation are separate bookings on one customer, so the curing time stays on the calendar rather than in your head.
Free on any plan
Moving work around the calendar was never the part anybody pays for.
Looking at a double garage beside the house. Photos of the access attached — what lead time are you on?
When the diary is full until spring.
This trade sells months ahead, and a page with nothing free on it reads as a business that has stopped trading. The enquiry should still land.
The measure is paid for, then paid back.
Charge for the visit if you charge for it. When the estimate is accepted the fee comes off it as a credit line, so a paid look never has to be argued about twice.

How far a lorry is worth sending.
A building is a load and a day of fitters. Claim the areas you genuinely cover, and work past the line asks rather than booking itself in.

The address remembers what went up.
The size, the finish and what the engineer signed off stay on the record, so the lean-to call four years later starts from something written down.
Built for kit buildings
Built for every size on the chart
Sectional concrete garage on a new base
The width, the door and the base thickness go on one quote, and the accepted version becomes the groundworks booking and the installation.
Oak-framed carport beside the drive
Posts into footings rather than a slab, and a joinery lead time of its own. A short job that pays when it sits near something you are on.
Steel-framed workshop at the end of the garden
Floor area drives the price, and access for the lorry is the note that saves the day. Both ride on the booking rather than in a text message.
Replacing an asbestos-roofed garage
The removal is a separate line with its own contractor and its own day, and the record keeps who did what and when it was cleared.
Lean-to onto an existing outbuilding
Measured against what is already standing, so the survey photographs are on the record when the fitters arrive weeks later to put it up.
Timber garden building on a farm track
Beyond the areas you cover, so it arrives as an enquiry you can price with the haulage in it rather than booking itself into a free Tuesday.
Garage with power run out to it
Your groundworker and the electrician each hold a day on the one job, and the customer is given one set of dates rather than three trades.
Base and groundworks only
A good many buildings are erected by the supplier. Price the base alone, book the pour, and close the job once the concrete is signed off.
Carport across a row of parking spaces
One quote, several bays, each line attached to its own address, so the accepted document fans out into a booking per property.

You can see they opened it.
A document this size gets sat on for a fortnight. You can see when it was opened and, when they are ready, which option they typed their name against.

Who is free the day it arrives.
Delivery day needs bodies and usually a machine. Hours are set per person, and nothing can be booked onto somebody who is not working that day.

- Bookables1hA booking request needs your answer
- Aisha Patel3hRunning 10 late on the Sale job
Six weeks of small questions.
Between accepting and standing it up there is a run of them. They stay in one thread against the job instead of scattered over three phones.
The money before the order goes in.
Most of this work is still settled by bank 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 sees itself out, without a plan being involved in any part of it.
Cards come with Pro
For the customer who would rather tap than go hunting for their account details on a Saturday morning.
Staged, after the booking
Pro splits a job into a leg before the order goes in and the balance on handover. It happens on the job, never at a checkout.

The survey that fits tomorrow.
A survey is half an hour of work and a long drive. It only pays when it sits near the installation you are already attending.
Ranked, not rearranged
You still choose the day. The ranking simply lifts the slots that add the least driving to what is already in the diary.
Two surveys, one run
Pricing two addresses in the same county on one trip is the difference between a paid day and a tank of diesel.
Pro
The ranking is the Pro part. The calendar, the bookings and moving them about are not.

Common questions.
Yes. Your page offers survey slots out of your real working hours, and the address is matched against the areas you cover before anything reaches the diary. Anywhere else arrives as an enquiry rather than a booking.
One document, several options. A single garage, the same building at double width and the version with a personal door sit side by side, and the customer accepts the one they want online by typing their name. Several named options on one quote is the Pro part.
Yes, and it is rather the point. They are two bookings against one customer, so the curing time is on the calendar rather than in somebody’s head, and either can be moved when the weather or the delivery does.
No. Bookables does not place the manufacturer’s order and has no notion of where your delivery is. It holds the agreed specification, the two dates and the money, so when the delivery slips you can see what has to move with it.
No. Whether an outbuilding falls under permitted development, and whether it needs building regulations approval at all, depends on the size, the boundary distance and which nation you are working in. Bookables keeps the drawings and the correspondence on the job record.
The Free plan covers a genuine month of work and asks for no card. Recording cash or a bank transfer costs nothing on any plan. Pro adds card payments, several priced options on one quote and payment stages. The plan cards carry the figures.
