The difference
Fix the four things that blow out your program
Chasing subbies by text
Bulk invites with automated follow-ups and read receipts.
Quotes you can't compare
Structured quote forms level inclusions, exclusions and prov sums.
Expired insurance discovered on site
Automatic licence and policy expiry alerts before work starts.
Tender docs scattered in email
One package, revision controlled, with an audit trail per invitee.
Quote comparison
Compare apples with apples
Every quote comes back in the same structure so you can see the real number — labour, materials, prov sums, exclusions and GST — without rebuilding a spreadsheet.
- Automatic variance flags against your budget
- Trade levelling notes shared with your QS
- Award, decline and notify all bidders in one click
- Full history retained for every project
