Common Questions

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from builders and tradies.

How does this compare to just using Excel or Word for my quotes?

Excel is okay for basic maths, but NextMinute is built for the trade life. It links your quotes directly to your timesheets, supplier bills, and invoices. You won't have to spend your Sunday nights chasing paper or re-typing figures into Xero – it's all in one place and professionally branded.

Can I manage variations and keep the original quote updated?

Managing variations is a breeze. If the client changes their mind on-site, you can track those variations separately within the job. It keeps everything organised so you don't forget to bill for extra materials or labour when you send the final invoice.

Will this software help me track if I'm actually making money on a job?

It definitely will. Because your quotes are linked to your actuals, you can run back-costing reports to see your estimated costs versus what you’ve actually spent. It’s a game-changer for seeing exactly where you're ahead and where you might be falling behind on a build.

What happens to the quote once a client signs off on it?

Once a quote is approved, it automatically turns into a project in NextMinute. This means you can get straight into the hard yakka of planning the crew, scheduling stages on the Gantt chart, and tracking your actual costs against what you estimated.

Can I bring in takeoffs from my quantity surveyor?

No worries at all. You can import takeoffs from your QS or other takeoff software straight into NextMinute. From there, you can turn those estimates into professional quotes or purchase orders without having to double-handle the data.

Can I hide specific costs or mark-ups from the client on the final quote?

You sure can. You have full control over what info the client sees. You can calculate your labour, materials, and disbursements in the background with your preferred mark-ups, but only show the level of detail you want on the professional branded version they receive.

How do my clients approve the quotes I send them?

It’s dead simple for them – you email the quote directly through NextMinute and the client just clicks a button to accept it. You’ll get an instant notification in the app and via email so you know as soon as the job is won.

Does the quoting tool track GST for New Zealand projects?

NextMinute is built for the NZ market, so it handles GST at 15% without any dramas. It also syncs two-ways with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks, so your quotes and financial data stay consistent across your accounting software and your job management app.

Can I import my own supplier price books into the software?

Yes, you can easily pull in price books from your local NZ suppliers. It makes it way faster to drop materials into an estimate, and if you get a bit stuck with the import, our local team is happy to jump in and help you get it sorted.

How can I speed up my quoting process for regular renovation or building jobs?

You can save your common projects as templates so you aren't starting from scratch every time. Just drop in your materials, labour, and mark-ups, and you'll have a professional branded quote ready to fire off to the client in record time.
