Why painters and plasterers switch
Where the money
actually goes
Painting and plastering quotes live or die on the pricebook. Re-costing the second bedroom from memory, or forgetting that paint went up eleven percent in March, is where the margin quietly goes.
Swiftscope gives you a builder you shape to your own units, backed by a pricebook and saved packages so the same room is never priced twice from scratch.
What generic job software gets wrong
- Rigid trade templates that assume you price by the item rather than by the square metre or the coat
- Materials and labour merged, so a paint price rise is invisible until the job is finished
- No reusable room or coat packages, which is exactly the repetition this trade lives on
What we ask for instead
Line items and units you define yourself.
- Your own line items and units, priced per square metre, per room or per coat
- A saved pricebook, so the second bedroom is not re-costed from memory
- Materials tracked separately from labour, so a paint price rise does not quietly eat the margin
- Reusable packages for the jobs you quote most often
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 paint or plaster supplier's price file as a CSV. Products, unit sizes and costs land in the pricebook, so a price rise is one re-upload rather than a rebuild.
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 bedroom, two coats
Walls and ceiling by area, cutting in, prep and patching allowance, and the paint at your current cost, saved once and reused room after room.
$1,463
Plastering & painting, 5 items in one tap
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.
Build your line items
Per square metre, per room or per coat. Your units, not someone else's template.
Pull from the pricebook
Saved rates and current material costs, so nothing is priced from memory.
Drop in packages
Standard room, whole house repaint, or whatever you quote most, added in one tap.
Send it on site
Margin applied, terms attached, gone before you leave the walk-through.
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 rooms and wall areas, then carry the quantities straight into the quote.
Or just talk
Describe the job out loud, walking the site. Swiftscope turns it into priced line items you can correct before sending.
"Whole house repaint, four bed, two coats throughout, ceilings in the living areas only, and patch the cracking in the hallway first."
Variations that stick
The wall that needs a full skim rather than a patch. Raised, priced and accepted before the extra day starts.
After they say yes
The quote becomes
the job
Scheduled, hours tracked, and the wall that needs a full skim instead of a patch becomes a signed variation before the extra day starts. Invoice and Xero at completion.
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.
