Nothing slips through

What BuildScope checks on every handyman job.

Industry-specific inclusions, prompted before you send the scope, not discovered after you win it.

Repairs
  • Patch & paint touch-ups
  • Door & hinge adjustments
  • Fix fixtures & fittings
Maintenance
  • Gutter clean
  • Flat-pack assembly
  • General make-good

The scope itself

What goes into a handyman scope of works.

Handyman work is a dozen little jobs on one invoice, and small items lumped together are small items done for free.

Line items that belong on it

  • Attendance to site including travel and set up
  • Patch, fill and paint touch-ups to nominated areas
  • Door, hinge and hardware adjustments
  • Repair and refit fixtures and fittings
  • General make good, gutter clean and flat-pack assembly as listed

What gets left off

  • Call-out and travel. On a two hour job the drive is a big share of the day.
  • Materials versus labour. Small material runs are unpaid time unless they are quoted.
  • The extra jobs added on the day. While you are here is how an hour becomes an afternoon.

Worth excluding in writing

  • Works requiring a licensed trade
  • Supply of client-selected fittings
  • Repairs to items beyond economical repair

Where BuildScope fits

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

Handymen know how to walk a job and price it. BuildScope takes the paperwork between the site meeting and the quote going out.

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.

Handymen already running accounting software? No worries.

Build the scope in BuildScope the way you always do, then move the job into your accounting or job management software as a draft, with the PDF attached. Nothing reaches your client until you send it.

How it works

Three steps from site visit to client-ready scope.

01

Describe the job

List every separate job the client wants, even the two minute ones, before you price anything.

02

Answer the questions that matter

BuildScope asks the handyman questions: how many separate items, what materials are needed, access and attendance, and what needs a licensed trade instead.

03

Review and send

Send an itemised list with each job priced on its own line, so extras get approved rather than absorbed.

FAQ

Questions handymen ask before signing up.

Is BuildScope built for handymen?
Yes. BuildScope is built around real handyman scopes of works, with handymen-specific line items, inclusions and wording. It is not a generic template you have to bend to fit.
Can BuildScope help handymen avoid missed items?
That is the point. It prompts for the things handymen commonly leave off a quote, like patch & paint touch-ups and door & hinge adjustments, so fewer items slip through before you send the scope.
What should a handyman quote include?
Every job as its own line with its own price, plus attendance and travel as a separate item. A list of eight small jobs each priced individually lets the client pick and choose, shows exactly what they are getting for the money, and means anything added on the day is an obvious addition rather than a favour.
How do handymen stop small jobs being done for free?
Price per item rather than per visit, and quote the extras before doing them. The while you are here request is the single biggest source of unpaid handyman work, and the only thing that reliably stops it is a written list where every job has a number next to it, so adding one is visibly adding a cost.
Can I edit the scope after the AI builds it?
Always. Every line item, quantity, rate and section is editable. Reorder, add, remove or reword anything before you export.
Does BuildScope work from voice notes and photos?
Yes. Talk through the handyman job, or drop in site notes and a PDF, and BuildScope turns it into a structured Scope of Works you review and tidy.
How does the free trial work?
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.
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.
