Why carpenters switch
Where the money
actually goes
Carpentry quotes get rebuilt from scratch every time, because the last one was a spreadsheet with a different structure. Deck, fit-out and framing all price differently, and a generic form makes you flatten them into the same shape.
Swiftscope keeps linear metre, square metre and unit work as separate things, and saves the combinations you quote most so you are not starting from a blank sheet.
What generic job software gets wrong
- Doors as one number, with no separation between a hung door and a frame where the client supplies the leaf
- Skirting and architrave lumped into 'trim', which hides where the hours actually go
- Decking priced per job rather than per square metre with beams by the metre
What we ask for instead
The fields that actually move the number.
- Internal and external doors, and frames on their own where the door is supplied
- Skirting and architrave by linear metre
- New stud walls by count, and framing timber by linear metre
- Plywood sheets counted rather than estimated
- Decking by square metre, with beams by linear metre
- Robe and shelving runs by linear metre
Getting started
Set up in minutes,
not a fortnight
The reason most tradies never finish setting up job software is the data entry nobody warns them about. Swiftscope starts from the price file your supplier already sends you.
Upload your timber merchant's price list. Framing timber and decking by the metre, sheets by the unit, and hardware by the box, all mapped from the CSV automatically.
Save the job you quote most often as a package. After that it is one tap, not a rebuild.
Your hourly rate, margin and terms become the baseline on every quote. Change them once and everything after follows.
Example package
Standard internal door hang
Door, frame, hardware, architrave both sides and the labour allowance, saved once and multiplied by however many doors the job has.
51 items
Bunnings Trade pricing, synced
Materials and labour stay split, so a supplier price rise shows up in your margin instead of hiding in it.
How the quoting works
Quoted before you
leave the driveway
The quote that wins is usually the one that arrives first, while the job is still fresh in the client's head. Everything below happens standing in the job, on a phone, one handed.
Pick the job type
Deck, framing, fit-out, renovation or repair, each priced on its own basis.
Measure what runs
Skirting, architrave, framing timber, decking beams and robe shelving by linear metre.
Count what does not
Doors, frames, stud walls and plywood sheets as units. Decking by square metre.
Send it from site
Priced with your margin, terms attached, out before you are back in the ute.
Against a spreadsheet: no hunting for the last similar job, no retyping client details, no formatting. Against a desktop tool: no waiting until 9pm, which is the real reason quotes go out late or not at all.

AI that knows your trade
Two ways in, both on site
Swiftscope runs a different prompt for each trade, so it is reading your plan and listening to your description with your work in mind. You confirm every number before it reaches a client. The AI drafts, you decide.
Mark up the drawing
Mark up the floor plan to set out wall runs and openings, and let the AI pre-read pick out doors and room dimensions before you count.
Or just talk
Describe the job out loud, walking the site. Swiftscope turns it into priced line items you can correct before sending.
"Deck out the back, about thirty-two square, plus beams. Six internal doors, skirting and architrave right through, and two new stud walls in the extension."
Variations that stick
Rot in the bearers once the old deck is lifted. Signed off before the saw comes out.
After they say yes
The quote becomes
the job
The quote becomes a scheduled job with hours tracked against estimate. Rot in the bearers becomes a signed variation, not a favour. Invoice and Xero when it is done.
Nothing is retyped between quote, job and invoice, which is where most double-entry and most disputes come from.
Schedule and crew
Put the job in the calendar, assign who is on it, and see the week on a map so you are not crossing town twice.
Dockets and variations
Day works signed on the spot on the client's phone, and variations accepted in writing before the extra work starts.
Invoice and Xero
Deposits, progress claims and final invoices built from the quote, pushed straight to Xero rather than exported and re-keyed.
Margin, job by job
Hours and materials tracked against what you quoted, so you find out which jobs make money while you can still do something about it.
$2,139 profit
Tracked automatically across jobs
$45 a month. That is the whole price.
No per-user fee, so putting your apprentice on it costs nothing. No per-job credits, so a flat-out month costs the same as a quiet one. No per-lead charge on directory enquiries.
