About

BuildScope

Read full description

Brain dump the job. BuildScope builds the scope. Talk it or type it, however it comes out on site. BuildScope turns messy notes into a proper Scope of Works: sectioned by trade or by room, with quantities, units and rates you can edit, and a PDF you can send to the client the same day. Built for Australian builders and tradies who quote real work. WHAT IT DOES Brain dump by voice or text. Describe the job the way you would to a mate on site. No forms, no questionnaires. Get a sectioned scope. Every scope opens with PRELIMINARIES, then the trades in build order, or one section per room if you prefer. Price it your way. Edit any quantity, unit or rate inline. Add your margin and GST once in your defaults and every job follows. PC and PS kept separate. Prime Cost and Provisional Sum allowances are tagged properly, never mixed up. Export a real quote. A cover letter with your company details, the full scope, your exclusions and clarifications, and a client acceptance page with signature fields. PDF or CSV. Scope only when you need it. Turn pricing off and send the wording alone. Your jobs, everywhere. Job history syncs with the BuildScope website, so a scope you start on site is on your desk when you get back. Your branding. Company details, licence number, logo and document colours all come through on the PDF. NOT GENERIC AI BuildScope is not a chat toy. It holds real construction scope logic, the way an estimator actually writes a job up, so you get line items you can stand behind rather than a paragraph you have to rewrite. WHO IT IS FOR Builders, renovators, bathroom and kitchen specialists, roofers, plumbers, electricians, tilers, carpenters, painters, concreters, landscapers, and anyone else who has to turn a site visit into a quote. FREE TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTION New accounts get 30 days free. After that a subscription keeps your scopes going. BuildScope Subbie: $49 per month, or $470 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. The subscription renews automatically at the price above unless you turn off auto renewal at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
