Description

CostMate is a specialized estimating software designed for residential builders in New Zealand, particularly targeting solo operators and small teams involved in renovations, such as bathrooms, decks, and extensions. It calculates labor costs using phase-specific production rates that take into account real-world site conditions like access issues, height variations, existing building constraints, and team size, moving away from a simple square-metre pricing approach. The software automatically applies BRANZ wastage percentages to material amounts, ensuring that estimates are both accurate and compliant with industry standards. Furthermore, every estimate inherently incorporates New Zealand Building Code stipulations related to external moisture, wet areas, energy efficiency, and timber framing, eliminating the need for a separate checklist. Before an estimate is forwarded to clients, a quote-checking procedure reviews the details and highlights common oversights in residential quotes. CostMate operates on a robust rules engine rather than a language model, ensuring that every quantity, wastage percentage, and code item is precise and can be traced back to its origin. It is important to note that this software does not function as a quantity surveying tool, project management system, or job scheduling application, making it distinctly tailored to the estimating needs of builders. Additionally, its design emphasizes transparency and reliability, allowing users to have confidence in the accuracy of their estimates.

Description

StrikeHoney is field service management software built for solo and small trade contractor crews in Canada - painters, landscapers, handymen, plumbers, and speciality trades like epoxy coating, tiling, and deck building. It combines lead tracking, quoting software, job management, and invoicing in one connected app, run entirely from a phone's browser with no app store download required. The problem it solves: Contractors running a business solo or with a small crew lose time and jobs to disorganised admin - quotes with no record of whether they were sent, deposits skipped because asking feels awkward, invoices going out days late, and unpaid balances tracked by memory instead of a system. Core features: Lead tracking: Calls, texts, and web-form leads land in one unified inbox. Quoting software: Quotes sent as customer-approvable links, with deposit collection built into approval. Job management: Job status, photos, notes, and documents tracked in one record from first visit to completion. Invoicing software: GST/HST calculated automatically by province, with payment by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or QR code. Business phone number: A dedicated business line built into the app, keeping a contractor's personal cell private. Who it's for: Solo operators and small crews (1–3 people) running trade businesses in Canada - not large multi-crew operations, and not businesses outside Canada. Pricing: $24 CAD/month, or as low as $19/month billed annually. One flat plan, no tiers, no per-user fees. What sets it apart: Most field service management software is built for the US market and localized afterward. StrikeHoney is built for Canada first - CAD pricing throughout, GST/HST-aware invoicing by province, and support familiar with Canadian trade work.
