We’ve answered the ones we hear most from builders and tradies.
They can access the latest site plans and documents right from the app. It beats having the crew digging through the back of the ute for a crumpled paper copy that might not even be the latest version.
The app has a specific equipment tracking feature. You can set custom buy and sell rates for your kit—like diggers or scaffolding—and have the crew log the hours used against the job.
We’ve got a local team based in Sydney who actually know the building industry. You can jump on a call with people like Tarsha or Ryan who’ll help you get sorted, plus we offer onboarding and training for life.
You can pull in your quantities and measurements from your QS or popular Aussie takeoff tools. Once they're in, you can turn them into quotes or purchase orders with a couple of clicks.
Variations are easy to track and get approved so there’s no yarning about costs at the end of the job. You can log the extra labour and materials against the specific project stage to keep your margins tight.
It's fully GST-ready for the Australian market. You can fire off professional progress claims or final invoices in AUD, and it syncs up with Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks so you don't have to enter data twice.
The app uses a drag-and-drop Gantt chart that makes adjustments easy. If you get rained off or a delivery is late, you just shift the task date and the rest of the schedule automatically moves with it.
You can see how you're tracking against your budget in real-time. It compares your actual spend on labour and materials against your original estimate, so you can spot if a job stage is chewing up your margin before it’s too late.
It's built to be simple on-site. The crew can log their timesheets, snap site photos, and check site plans directly from their phones. If they can use Facebook, they can handle NextMinute.
Most builders we work with save about 10 hours a week by getting everything off paper and into the app. It handles your quoting, scheduling, and timesheets in one spot, so you aren't stuck chasing dockets or messing with spreadsheets on your weekends.
