Apps for tradies
Let’s have a chat about it. I want to save you that time, so you can get on with the trade you’re actually good at. Plumbers, sparkies, handymen, whoever’s buried in it.
Now building: An iPad quoting app for Happy Plumbing, a Canberra small business. Quote Pilot is already built for one-person businesses.
Filled in on site, photos attached, and in the office before the ute is.
Your prices and your wording, GST worked out, sent while you’re still on site.
Every job and where it’s up to, without ringing round the crew.
A lot of quoting time goes on looking things up: the price book, who’s available, what you charged last time. I build tools that take that friction out, like a web app with your price book built in, where you pick the work from a list and the prices fill themselves in. Whatever the fix, it’s built around how you already quote.
If one of them fits how you work, buy it. I’m not here to reinvent the wheel. Often the better fix is the piece in between: connecting ServiceM8 to another system, or the step it doesn’t cover. Happy Plumbing runs a 100-point checklist that no job app has, so it’s still done on paper. That’s the kind of thing I build.
It depends on the job, so there’s no price list. First we talk through how you work and where it hurts. That’s a conversation, not a sales pitch. Then you get a quote that lists the cost and exactly what’s included, and nothing is built until you approve it.
Probably not. A five minute job someone redoes every week used to cost more to fix than to put up with. AI has lowered the cost of building good software, and I still design, check and test every part of it. Now leaving the problem alone is usually the expensive option.
Most of what I’ve built is used by church volunteers who get no training at all. If a tool hasn’t paid off in the first two minutes, nobody opens it again, so that’s the bar.
If something needs fixing or changing, email me. I’ll look at it, tell you what it’ll take, and start once you’ve approved the quote.
You do. Your data and the code belong to your business, so you’re never stuck with me. If it’s a tool several businesses share, there’s a monthly fee instead, and we’ll agree an arrangement that works for both of us before anything starts.
Let’s have a chat. It goes straight to me, and I’ll reply by email.
