Nothing slips through

What BuildScope checks on every renderer job.

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

Prep
  • Surface prep
  • Patch & repair
  • Mesh & beads
Coats
  • Base coat
  • Top coat
  • Texture finish

The scope itself

What goes into a renderer scope of works.

Render quotes are won on the prep and the coats, and both get compressed into a single square metre rate that hides the work.

Line items that belong on it

  • Prepare and clean surfaces ready for render
  • Patch and repair existing substrate defects
  • Install mesh, beads and stop angles
  • Apply base coat to nominated areas
  • Apply top coat and texture finish as specified

What gets left off

  • Surface preparation on existing walls. Old, painted or patchy substrate doubles the prep hours.
  • Number of coats. Two coats and three coats are very different jobs.
  • Scaffold and access. Anything above single storey needs it and it is a real cost.

Worth excluding in writing

  • Painting or sealing of the finished render
  • Structural repairs to substrate
  • Scaffold hire beyond nominated period

Where BuildScope fits

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

Renderers 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.

Renderers 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

Look at the substrate condition and the height, and be honest about how much prep the walls need.

02

Answer the questions that matter

BuildScope asks the rendering questions: area in square metres, substrate type and condition, number of coats, texture finish and access.

03

Review and send

Check the prep line and the coat count are both explicit, allow for scaffold, and export.

FAQ

Questions renderers ask before signing up.

Is BuildScope built for renderers?
Yes. BuildScope is built around real renderer scopes of works, with renderers-specific line items, inclusions and wording. It is not a generic template you have to bend to fit.
Can BuildScope help renderers avoid missed items?
That is the point. It prompts for the things renderers commonly leave off a quote, like surface prep and patch & repair, so fewer items slip through before you send the scope.
What should a rendering scope of works include?
Preparation and coats as separate sections. Surface preparation, patching and repairs, mesh and beads, then each coat listed individually with the finish specified. Access and scaffold belong in preliminaries. Writing the coats separately is what lets you defend the price against a cheaper quote that quietly only allowed for one.
How should renderers quote surface preparation?
As its own line with the condition described, because prep on a new blockwork wall and prep on a painted, patched, sixty year old wall are not the same job at all. Folding it into a per square metre render rate means every difficult wall comes straight out of your margin, and gives the client nothing to compare against a competitor who allowed for less.
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 renderer 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.
