The numbers behind the job

One practical tool for each admin bottleneck

Use a single workbook or bring quoting, job costing and payment tracking together. Every product includes instructions and a fictional worked example.

Quote from measured costs

Break work into labour, materials, plant and subcontractors. See contingency, markup, margin and configurable VAT separately.

Know where the job stands

Compare budget with actual costs, review variances and estimate job profit using your chosen overhead allocation.

Follow up the money

Link receipts to invoice numbers, track part-payments and outstanding balances, and use editable reminder emails.

Trade tools catalogue

Built to calculate, not just to fill in

Clear file lists, formula previews and one-time proposed prices. Use your own spreadsheet software; no Buildora AI account or paid API is needed.
