Keep construction costs, changes and claims in view.

Pick the tasks, preserve the scope, and invite businesses from your directory. Each one prices the same words, and none of them is added to your project.

Businesses see only the request, the files you share and their own price. They never see each other or your margin. A line left unpriced or excluded is flagged, so it does not look free.

Selecting a price, awarding the work and agreeing the scope are separate steps. Awarding creates a proposed engagement, and the usual scope agreement and credential checks follow.

While you are still pricing the job, you can take a chosen price back and choose another. You can also tell businesses that are waiting when you expect to decide, and nobody is emailed.

Add selected trade prices, your own labour and materials, and allowances such as prime cost items and provisional sums. Add contingency, escalation, overhead and discounts with the method shown beside each.

GST is worked out once on the total. A check before you finish lists anything still missing, and finishing locks the prices. Reopen it later and your changes save as a new version, with the earlier one kept. A won project can hand its estimate over to the delivery budget.

Send the finished estimate to your client at the level of detail you choose: the total only, the total by trade, or every item. They review it in their portal, ask questions, and accept with a typed name and signature or decline. They see selling prices only, so your costs and margin stay private.

Raise variations with the client or a business, recording the change, cause, amount and time impact. Track open items and any notice deadlines.

A variation's decision and status remain in its record, helping the team distinguish a proposed change from one that has been agreed.

Receive claims from businesses through their portal, or record a claim received by email or post. Keep the claimed amount, payment schedule and payment dates together.

The payment schedule and dates follow the configured state rules. This is the trade claim workflow, not a claim made to the head contractor's client.

Start a client claim for a period and build it from the head contract and its breakdown. Track submitted, scheduled, paid or withdrawn outcomes in a workflow separate from business claims.

Client claim deadlines and amounts stay connected to the relevant contract and claim record.

Company administrators can review configured integrations, connection status and failed deliveries from the integrations area.

The exact records and directions available depend on the configured connection. Review its status rather than assuming every commercial record syncs automatically.
