Voice and on-site capture

Talk through the job like you would to your apprentice.

Speak your notes on site or in the car. BuildScope transcribes and structures as you go, so you never sit down to a blank page.

  • Trades and work areas identified as you talk
  • Asks the things tired estimators forget: protection, access, rubbish, patching
  • Measurements you say become quantities on the line items
  • Missing details get flagged before you leave site

The truth

The quote starts dying the moment you leave site.

You arrive knowing exactly what the job needs. You speak to the client. You notice the access issues. You spot the hidden extras. You know what needs to be included, excluded and clarified.

Then you leave. Another site inspection. Another phone call. Another set of photos. Dinner. Family. Messages.

By the time you sit down to quote, the job is no longer clear.

Where BuildScope fits

You run the job. BuildScope does the paperwork in the middle.

You already run the enquiry, the site visit, the client and the actual work. BuildScope takes the paperwork in the middle.

BuildScope does this You do this
  1. 01 Enquiry lands Client rings or emails. You book a time to look at the job.
  2. 02 Site meeting You walk the job, measure up and take your photos.
  3. 03 Brain dump Talk or type the job into BuildScope, on site or in the ute.
  4. 04 The questions BuildScope asks what a tired estimator forgets: access, protection, rubbish, patching.
  5. 05 Scope of Works A full scope, trade by trade, preliminaries first, PC and PS kept separate.
  6. 06 Price and export Check quantities and pricing, apply your margin and GST, export the client-ready PDF.
  7. 07 Send and sign You send the PDF. The acceptance page is already in there for the client to sign.
  8. 08 Job runs Book the trades and get moving. The scope is your checklist and your variation defence.

BuildScope covers steps 03 to 06. You do the trade work, it does the paperwork.

Where it goes next

Built to fit your workflow. Not replace it.

BuildScope handles the messy part between site notes and a finished scope. When you are ready, the job moves into the accounting and job management software you already run, without rebuilding it from scratch.

Scope the job once. Do not type it twice.

BuildScope builds the scope and the pricing. When you are happy with it, the job moves into the software that runs your business as a draft, with the BuildScope PDF attached.

  • It lands as a draftNothing reaches your client until you read it and send it yourself.
  • The structure survivesLine items, section headings, exclusions and clarifications all carry across.
  • Your PDF goes with itThe branded BuildScope Scope of Works is attached at the other end.

BuildScope versus generic AI

Stop asking generic AI to guess how you quote.

A chatbot can help write a paragraph. BuildScope is built to build an actual Australian construction Scope of Works.

Generic AI chat
  • Needs carefully written prompts
  • Different structure every time
  • Forgets how you quote
  • Misses trade-specific questions
  • Copy and paste between tools
BuildScope
  • Built for Australian construction quoting
  • Knows trades, rooms and work areas
  • Prompts for missing information
  • Sorts inclusions and exclusions
  • Reusable priced line items, consistent every time

The founder

Built by an Aussie tradie, for Aussie tradies.

BuildScope did not come out of a software lab. It came out of the real grind of quoting building work in Australia: site visits, photos, messy notes, and long nights turning all of it into a Scope of Works that actually makes sense.

Good tradies lose jobs they should win. Not on price, but on missed items, vague quotes and slow follow-up. After enough years writing scopes the hard way, the fix was obvious: capture the job while it is fresh, let the structure prompt for the things people forget, and turn it into a clear, priced scope in minutes instead of hours.

BuildScope is an assistive tool, not magic. You stay in control: every line item, quantity and rate is yours to review and adjust before anything goes to a client.

FAQ

BuildScope, in plain terms.

What is BuildScope?
BuildScope is a Scope of Works app for Australian tradies and builders. It turns site notes, voice notes, photos and job details into clear Scope of Works documents and quote-ready line items.
Who is BuildScope built for?
Builders, tradies, renovators, subcontractors and small construction businesses that want to quote jobs faster and produce clearer scopes for clients.
What problem does BuildScope solve?
It helps reduce missed quote items, vague job descriptions, slow follow-up and messy admin after a site visit.
How does BuildScope work?
You type or dictate the job. BuildScope asks a few targeted follow-up questions, organises the detail, and builds a structured Scope of Works you can review, edit and export as a branded PDF.
Can I use BuildScope on my phone?
Yes. It works on desktop, iPhone, iPad and Android, and installs to your home screen like an app, so you can build a scope on site and tidy it back at the desk.
Does BuildScope work with the software I already use?
Yes. Connect it once from your account settings and any saved scope can be pushed across as a draft, carrying your line items, section headings and exclusions, with the BuildScope PDF attached. BuildScope never sends it to your client and never raises an invoice: that stays your call.
Is BuildScope made for Australian tradies?
Yes. It is built around Australian construction quoting, with line items, inclusions, exclusions and wording that match how Aussie trades actually scope a job.
Does BuildScope offer a free trial?
Yes. 7 days free with 10 scopes on us, no credit card. Build and export them however you like. After that it is $99 per user a month, everything included.
How much does BuildScope cost?
$99 per user per month, or $990 a year which is two months free. Everything is included at that price: no feature tiers, no add-ons and no per-scope charges. Prices are in AUD and exclude GST. Cancel any time.
Can I just use ChatGPT instead?
You can, and plenty of tradies do. ChatGPT will write you a tidy paragraph. What it will not do is hold the shape of an Australian construction scope: preliminaries first, PC and PS allowances kept separate, and the questions a tired estimator forgets about access, protection, rubbish and patching. We wrote up the honest comparison in BuildScope vs ChatGPT.
