Description
For over three decades, The Building Software Co. has been crafting software tailored for builders and related trades, collaborating with both large and small construction firms across New Zealand and Australia. The company’s journey began in the late 1980s when a builder with a passion for computers recognized the need for a software solution that could simplify the laborious process of estimating and quoting for building projects. This realization led to the development of a unique software program to meet this specific need. The initial version of BuildMaster was launched in 1987, and since then, the company has committed itself to ongoing enhancements to ensure it remains the premier software of its kind in the Australasian market. Users can efficiently calculate quantities with pre-defined formulas, utilize pricing from their selected suppliers, and generate professional, precise quotations for their clients, all contributing to smoother project management. As the software has evolved, it has become an indispensable tool for the construction industry, significantly improving productivity and accuracy.
Description
Insta Quotes is an innovative quoting tool powered by AI, specifically designed for tradespeople and contractors in Australia. Users can describe a job through text, voice notes, or photos, and within 60 seconds, the AI crafts a detailed quote that includes labor, materials, and GST, all aligned with the current market rates in Australia. Each item in the quote can be modified to suit individual needs, allowing adjustments to rates, quantities, and markup before it's sent out for approval. Once finalized, users can export the document as a branded PDF, email it to their client, and even collect a deposit via Stripe as soon as the quote is accepted. Moreover, accepted quotes seamlessly convert into tax invoices, which is particularly beneficial for builders, and the system supports stage invoicing along with integration into Xero for enhanced financial management. The tool also encompasses features for client management, saved templates, tracking quote openings, optional upsells, multi-user access for team collaboration, and booking/calendar functionalities. It caters to over 20 different trades, including electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, tiling, painting, roofing, and concreting. With a subscription starting at just $29 per month, users can take advantage of a 7-day free trial that requires no credit card information. This comprehensive solution streamlines the quoting process, making it easier for tradies to focus on their craft while efficiently managing their business operations.
