Redlands carpenters: the deck and fit-out enquiries you miss on the tools, the quotes that pile up, the invoices you forget to send. We build you an AI back-office, trained on your business and run for you, so you get your evenings back. Live in about 14 days.
It learns how you actually run, then handles the jobs that slip: the calls, the quotes, the invoices, the follow-ups.
Hands full and the phone rings out. It answers, grabs the details, books the quote visit, and texts you the lead, so it does not ring the next chippy.
Talk the job into your phone or send photos, and a quote comes back drafted with scope and pricing. You check it and hit send.
Invoice drafts itself off the job and chases the unpaid ones automatically. You stop carrying other people’s builds.
Every job, material and customer captured and searchable, so warranties and repeat work are answered in seconds.
Local and seasonal. The bayside outdoor-living belt (Wellington Point, Ormiston, Victoria Point, Thornlands) keeps chippies busy with decks, pergolas and patios, and near the water that means salt-rated fixings and hardware or the job comes back to bite. The 70s and 80s stock through Alexandra Hills, Birkdale and Capalaba drives renovation, repair and rot replacement. Storm season from November to March brings a run of wind and water damage repair work, often landing in a batch right after a big blow. On the Redland Bay new-build pipeline chippies pick up subbie framing and fix-out under the builders, and island jobs on the SMBI mean ferrying tools and materials across.
Your stack and job volume. Carpenters split into two animals. The deck, pergola and reno operator is medium volume and every job needs an on-site measure before a real price, you cannot quote a deck down the phone like a sparky quotes a powerpoint. The subbie under builders is fewer, bigger jobs on progress claims and variations, so they sit between the high-volume plumber and the deep-project builder, and most carry a bit of both. Lighter stack than the sparkies, usually Tradify or ServiceM8 over Xero, plenty still on a phone and a notebook.
What we would set up first. For the deck and reno operator, set up missed-call answer and booking the measure first, because quoting is the real choke point, you cannot price a deck down the phone the way a sparky prices a powerpoint, and the job goes to whoever gets on site and prices fastest. When a storm throws up a wave of repair enquiries at once, the same system fields them all and books them into real slots so the good jobs do not ring out while you are on the tools. The subbie end flips: fewer, bigger jobs on progress claims, so lead with capturing variations in writing and chasing claims, because the drain there is slow-paying builders and work built but never billed, not missed calls.
Most of the mob doing this are remote agencies wiring up generic tools from interstate. We're Brisbane-based, your data stays onshore and stays yours, and the system learns how your business actually runs. We work with carpenters and trades right across the Redlands and the bay.
He helped me reprocess more than 1,000 invoices with AI to pull the data for our expense and profit report. Before, I was overwhelmed, and it would have taken me forever. He can always find a way to lighten the work and the mental load.
We find where the hours are leaking in your business and whether it's a fit. If it isn't, we'll say so straight.
Yes. When you can't pick up, it answers, takes the details, books the job, and texts you the lead. That missed call doesn't ring the next carpenters instead.
Talk the job into your phone or send a few photos, and a quote comes back drafted with the scope and pricing. You check it and hit send from the ute.
Some construction trades qualify for a $5,000 QLD government grant for business software and training. Check if you qualify in a few taps, it's a few questions, no obligation.
The first workflow is live in about 14 days. Your data stays onshore and it's yours, it walks out the door with you if you ever leave, and nothing goes out in your name without your say-so.
