Reviews
Rated 4.9/5 in Reviews on Google and Facebook, with local Aussie support that actually helps.
"NextMinute is probably the program that you'd design for yourself to use for scheduling and quoting, if you could! It's got a refreshing design which is easy to use and it doesn't take very long at all to become familiar with the operations as it all just makes sense."

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from builders and tradies.
NextMinute is purpose-built for Australian residential construction crews — builders, landscapers, carpenters, pool builders and earthworks teams running multi-stage jobs across multiple sites. The drag-and-drop Gantt chart handles stages and dependencies, the mobile app keeps the crew across what they're doing each day, and changes ripple through the schedule when reality hits — rain, late deliveries, jobs running long. It's not a generic project management tool; the workflows match how Aussie residential builds actually run.
Most owners save several hours a week once the schedule's live. Instead of texting the crew their jobs every morning, updating a whiteboard every Friday, and ringing around when a slab gets delayed, you set the schedule once and the crew sees it on their phones. When something shifts, you drag the affected task and dependencies move with it — no manual rework on twelve other tasks. Book a demo to see it in action.
Running multiple concurrent jobs is exactly what NextMinute's planner is built for. Every job sits on the same Gantt timeline, so you can see across all of them at once — who's at which site, what's due this week, and where you might be over-committed. Filter by crew member, job, or stage to drill in. The crew only see what's assigned to them on the mobile app, so they're not wading through every job to find theirs.
Yes — you can view the schedule by week, month, or further out, so you can see how full your pipeline is before saying yes to the next job. If quote-and-pencil-in conversations keep landing through the CRM, you'll know quickly whether you've got crew capacity to actually start in April or whether it'll need to push to May. That kind of forward visibility helps you have honest conversations with clients about timing.
The schedule view shows every crew member as their own row with their tasks laid out across the week. You can see at a glance whether someone's flat-out, whether anyone's got gaps you could fill with a smaller job, and where you might need to shuffle people between sites. The same view is the source of truth that the crew gets on the mobile app — so there's no version drift between what the office and the team are looking at.
Yes. Purchase orders for materials can be created against the job and timed to the stage that needs them — slab pour, framing pack, fixtures fit-off. When the stage moves on the schedule, you've got a clear view of which POs need to move with it. The crew can also flag if anything's missing at the start of a stage, so you're not finding out at 7am Monday that the trusses didn't turn up. Material costs flow through to backcosting automatically.
When a quote is accepted, it becomes a job in NextMinute, which you can drop straight onto the schedule in a couple of clicks. The stages and tasks you costed out in the quote are already there, so you're not rebuilding the plan from scratch — just slotting it into the timeline alongside everything else you've got running. From there, the crew sees their part on the mobile app and you can start tracking actual hours against the planned hours.
Yes — every job in the mobile app has the site address, scope, and any plans attached, and the crew can tap once to open directions in Google Maps. No more morning texts with addresses, postcodes and gate codes. New starters and casual hires can find their first site without having to ring someone up. It also cuts down the "I'm here, where's everyone else?" calls when a job's at a tricky spot or down a long driveway.
Fair question — whiteboards work fine right up until they don't. They live in the office, they don't update when a job shifts, and they don't tie hours or costs back to the plan. NextMinute keeps the same simple view, but everyone's looking at the same thing on their phones, changes ripple through dependencies automatically, and you can pull a backcosting report off the same data. The whiteboard's still there — it just stops being load-bearing.
You can have a live job on the schedule the same day. The Sydney-based team will get you set up — accounts connected, crew added, and your first job imported during onboarding — usually inside a couple of hours. Adding the stages and assigning tasks takes a few minutes per job once you've done one. Start with a free trial if you want to load a real upcoming job rather than fiddle with demo data.
