Quote right. Manage right.
Live your life.

Builder's Business is the phone-in-pocket job management app that pulls quoting, jobs, receipts, variations, BAS, payroll and your accountant handoff into one place. Make a change on site and it's live in 2 clicks - not a night on the laptop and an angry email from the accountant. We don't hide from AI. We're the tool that puts it to work for you.

Built for the tradie with a crew

One app for the whole job. Phone in pocket, 24/7.

When it was just you, a spreadsheet worked. With a team on the tools you need quoting, jobs, receipts, variations, invoices, payroll and the accountant handoff in one place - updated live from the ute, not reconstructed on a Sunday night.

Quote it right

AI-guided pricing that bakes in margin before you send the number.

Snap the receipt

Point your phone at any receipt. Cost lands against the job in seconds.

Track the profit

Live job P&L - money in, money out, variations, all in one view.

Sort BAS & payroll

GST, wages and super sorted as you go - not the night before quarterly.

Hand off to your accountant

One clean digital file with every dollar formatted. They upload in seconds.

All trades. All job types. No expensive accounting software. No shoebox of old receipts. No sitting up on Sunday night keying in dockets. Save hours of stress and countless dollars in billed accountant time.

Built for every trade

Plumbers, sparkies, tilers, chippies, concreters - and the builders running the lot.

Same problems whatever the ticket: quotes that need to hold, receipts that pile up, subbies to wrangle, BAS looming. Builder's Business is job-type agnostic - domestic, commercial, service work, new builds, reno, maintenance rounds.

AI built in

We don't hide from AI. We put it to work on your job.

Not a chatbot bolted on. Seven AI tools built into the workspace - each one saves a job you'd normally do at 9pm on the couch.

Receipt scanner (AI vision)

Snap any Bunnings, Reece or supplier docket. AI pulls supplier, ABN, GST, subtotal, category and drops the cost onto the right job. Zero typing.

Quote Buddy AI second opinion

Paste a scope. AI checks your line items, flags what's missing, warns on risky pricing and sanity-checks margin before you hit send.

BAS Pack generator

One click builds your quarter's BAS pack - GST collected, GST paid, wages, PAYG - as a PDF and CSV, ready for the portal or your accountant.

Accountant handoff ZIP

Every invoice, receipt, payment and payroll line bundled into a single dated ZIP. They upload it and bill you a fraction of the usual hours.

Payroll (ATO 2024-25)

PAYG withholding on current tax brackets plus 11.5% super calculated per payslip. Pay the crew right without a separate payroll subscription.

Ask your books (AI chat)

"How much GST do I owe this quarter?" "Which job made the most last month?" AI answers grounded in your actual numbers - not a guess.

AI insights & nudges

Nightly scan of invoices, jobs and cash. Overdue money, jobs slipping on margin, receipts still unconfirmed - surfaced before they bite.

AI-guided pricing

Margin bar shows exactly what a change costs. AI suggests where to lift a rate or trim a line - so quotes hold and profit doesn't leak.

2-click live updates

Add a variation, log a payment, snap a receipt - the whole job P&L updates instantly. Everyone sees the same number, no reconciling at night.

What's inside

The workspace first. 7 modules built right into it.

Most tradies don't need another PDF course - they need a tool that does the thing while teaching the thing. Each module sits inside the screen where you apply it, so the lesson and the live job are the same surface.

01

The workspace

Quote Buddy, Jobs, job P&L, payment milestones, spend tracker, photo journals, client PDFs and a virtual assistant - connected so a receipt snap updates margin and cash position in real time. Pick up any active job mid-stream and get the full financial picture in minutes.

02

7 knowledge modules

Pricing, margin, cashflow, spend discipline, hiring, client polish, scaling. The exact lessons builders we work with ask about - delivered inside the tool where you act on them, not in a PDF you'll never re-open.

03

Workshops & course

The same 7 modules also run as a structured course and live workshops - useful if you learn better in a cohort or want your team to do it together. The workspace stands on its own without them.

In your pocket

Last minute Ute runs. Sorted by smoko.

Snap a receipt at Bunnings, log a variation from the slab, fire off a tax invoice from the cab. Margin updates the second the photo lands.

  • Receipt camera with auto-categorise
  • One-tap photo gallery, straight to the client
  • Live margin tile on the home screen

The 7 modules, as a course

Same 7 modules. Workshop format when you want it.

The knowledge is already inside the workspace - this is the same content packaged as a structured course and live workshops, for builders who learn better in a cohort or want to run their team through it together. Every lesson ends in the tool where you apply it.

Why not just use what I've got?

Built for the builder, not the bookkeeper.

Spreadsheets are free but blind. Generic accounting software runs your books, not your jobs. This is the layer in between - the one that actually keeps the margin on the job.

Founding builder cohort

Get in early. Shape what gets built next.

Early access · 2026

We're not running a wall of borrowed quotes. Builder's Business is being shipped in the open with a small founding cohort - if you join now, your job is the next feature.

Founder rate locked

$59/mo for your first 60 days

Get in during the founding window and your rate is locked in below the standard price the whole time.

Direct line

Your job shapes the next feature

Founding builders get a direct line to the team. The receipt format that gives you grief, the report your clients want - we ship it.

Your data, your call

Export everything, anytime

Jobs, spend, receipts, invoices, photos. CSV and PDF exports built in. If you ever leave, you walk out with all of it.

Straight answers

The questions builders actually ask first.

Does this replace Xero or MYOB?

No, and it's not trying to. Builder's Business runs the job side - quotes, margin, on-site spend, photos, client-facing PDFs. Your accountant keeps doing the books. Spend and invoices export cleanly to your accounting software.

Who is this actually built for?

Aussie builders turning over roughly $500K to $3M - residential builders, renovators, small commercial. If you're juggling 3-12 active jobs and you're the one quoting, ordering and chasing payment, this is for you.

What happens after the 30-day trial?

Nothing automatic. No card up front means we can't charge you by surprise. After 30 days you choose to come on at the $59 founder rate or walk away. Your data stays yours either way.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Month to month, no contracts, no exit fees. Cancel from the workspace and you keep access until the period ends.

Does it work without internet on site?

Receipt capture and photo uploads queue locally and sync when you're back in range. The full dashboard needs a connection.

Are the tax invoices ATO-compliant?

Yes. ABN, GST breakdown, invoice number, supplier and recipient details - all on the invoice and downloadable as PDF.

Where is my data stored?

On Australian-region cloud infrastructure. Builder's Business is operated by Witton Lane Pty Ltd in Australia.

Pricing

One plan. Everything unlocked. No tier games.

30 days fully open to run a real job through it. 60 days at a founder rate once you're in. Then the standard daily-tool price.
