Quoting and job software for Australian builders, renovators and trades

  • Estimating first. Detailed quotes from your own price list, with take-offs measured straight from the plans.
  • The whole job. Budget, schedule, orders, bills, variations, progress claims and invoices, for the office and the site.
  • Made by a Brisbane builder with more than 20 years in the trade, and every rule is yours to change.
The Dashboard: work on hand, expected profit, owed to you, waiting for an answer, over or under budget, then what needs doing
The Dashboard: the figures at the top, what needs doing underneath.

What Better Reno takes care of for you

The things you no longer have to remember. Every feature card lists the rest.

  • Measure once

    The take-off is done once and every quote, variation and job uses it. Change it and the quote shows which lines to update.

  • Linked both ways

    Every quote line shows the measurement it uses, and every measurement shows the lines that use it.

  • Prices you can trust

    Money to the cent, GST worked out once. A price change never touches a quote already made.

  • Product pictures by themselves

    Paste a product link: the picture, name, brand, code and price come from the shop’s page.

  • Nothing forgotten

    Lines with links and allowances are offered to the selections; what nobody measured yet is listed before the quote goes.

  • A budget that stays locked

    The job’s budget comes from the accepted quote. The only way to change what the client pays is a variation they approve.

  • Orders and bills checked

    Orders come from the budget lines, bills are matched to the orders, and anything over shows straight away.

  • A schedule that moves itself

    Linked tasks follow, holidays and shutdowns are skipped, double bookings show in red.

  • Claims worked out

    Progress claims from the stages and approved variations; overdue invoices in front of you.

  • The right person sees the right thing

    Your own roles: a carpenter sees his jobs and never your margins, checked on the server.

  • Told the moment it matters

    A client approves, a bill is over, a task is moved: the bell and your phone tell you.

  • Every change recorded

    Who did what and when, on every quote, job, order and bill. Nothing is ever deleted.

Everything it does

Ten areas, each with its own page of features and pictures.
