STAGING — practice copy for testing. Not real customers, not real money.
Quoting software built from how you price a job

Your rates. Your quotes. Every time.

TradieRates turns the way you actually price a job — your rates, your real job times, your materials — into your own quoting tool. Measure the site once, get the same accurate price whoever quotes, and send a professional proposal before you leave the driveway.

Example quote — yours uses your own rates, times and prices

Stop guessing. Stop undercharging.

Most tradies price from memory, a spreadsheet or gut feel — and every quote comes out a little different. TradieRates writes down how you do the job once, then prices it the same way every time.

The same price, every time

Same job, same measurements, same price — whether you quote it, your office quotes it, or your leading hand does it on site.

Quote before you leave

Measure on your phone, tap the job, and the price, the client scope and the proposal are ready. No going home to do the paperwork.

Protect your margin

Your hourly rate, travel and profit on materials are built in and never shown to the customer. Materials follow your supplier prices, not last year's.

How it works

You don't need to be good with computers. If you can describe how you do a job you've done many times, we can build your tool.

1

Tell us how you do one job

Fill in our online Prep Sheet from a real recent job: the steps, how long each took, and the materials you used. Save and come back any time.

2

We build your quoting tool

We turn your answers into a quoting tool on your own web address, and check every one by hand before it goes live.

3

Try it free for 3 days

Price a job you've already done and see if it matches what you charged. Your 3 days start when you first open it — not before.

4

Keep it and grow it

Keep quoting. Add a tool for each type of job you do — lawns, retic, fencing, downlights, painting — whenever you're ready.

Everything a quote needs, in your pocket

Every quoting tool comes with the whole TradieRates toolkit.

Site visits

Measure once — front lawn, rear lawn, each garden bed — and take photos. Every quoting tool loads from the same visit. Anyone can do the visit.

Your quoting tools

One per job type, built from your steps, times, materials and rules. Crew size and days on site worked out for you.

Three documents

A crew sheet with no dollars, a client scope with no rates, and a working document showing exactly how every price was reached.

Proposals & PDFs

Put several quotes into one proposal — itemised or one package price, optional extras, deposit and your terms — ready to share.

Connects to your apps

Send a proposal to Jobber as a quote, and your customer approves it online. Simpro, AroFlo, ServiceM8, Xero, QuickBooks and MYOB on request.

Your price list

One price list for all your tools, with several suppliers per item. Change a price once and every quote uses it.

Your team

Logins for owners, quoters and site-visit staff. Staff can measure and quote without ever seeing your rates.

Works without signal

Backyards don't always have reception. Visits and photos save on the phone and upload when you're back in range.

Your brand, not ours. Proposals, PDFs and quotes carry your business name and logo — your customers never see TradieRates.

Built for trades that quote the same jobs again and again

Takes about 30–60 minutes for one job type

Questions tradies ask

How long does the Prep Sheet take?

Most people take 30–60 minutes for one type of job, with a recent job in mind. It saves as you go, so you can stop and come back.

I don't know my exact times. Is that a problem?

No. Use your best figure from a real recent job — something like "44 items in 4 hours with one person". You can fine-tune any time or price afterwards in Settings.

When does my free trial start?

When you first open your finished quoting tool, not when you sign up. We check every tool by hand before it goes live and let you know when it's ready.

What happens when the trial ends?

If you keep it, your card is charged $347 for the first year (build $199 + platform $99 + licence $49). Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing.

Do my customers see TradieRates?

No. Proposals, PDFs and quotes carry your business name and logo.

Who owns my prices and methods?

You do. Your rates, times, methods and customers are never shared with any other business. See the TradieRates Agreement.

Can my crew use it?

Yes. Give each person a login as a quoter or site-visit only. Site-visit logins measure and photograph but never see prices.

Do I need Jobber?

No. If you use Jobber, you can send proposals to it as quotes. If you use Simpro, AroFlo, ServiceM8, Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB, tap Request in Settings and we'll let you know when it's ready to connect. Or share the proposal PDF straight from your phone.

Does it work without phone signal?

Yes. Site visits and photos save on your phone and upload when you're back in range.
