How it works for carpenters
The Carpenter trade starts you with a service menu built for carpentry (wall and floor framing, doors and windows, decking, pergolas and verandahs, trims and repairs), each of which you can rename, switch off or add to.
Quotes go out as a link the client can accept online, and the accepted quote becomes a written contract with the deposit and payment stages set out. Visits are booked so nobody is double-booked, and field mode on the phone keeps working without signal.
Builders' bid requests are coming: once the Builder job board launches, framing sections of a builder's take-off can come straight to you if your travel radius covers the site.

Builders' jobs, sent to you Coming soon
Builders on the Builder plan will upload a plan set, get a take-off of every trade's section, and send each section to the businesses in that trade whose area covers the site. You bid on the work near you.
- Any business on a paid plan can receive builders' bid requests, from Starter up.
- Each business sets a travel radius from its base; a job goes to the businesses in the right trade whose radius covers the site.
- Bids are sealed: only the builder sees every bid, and each business sees only its own and whether it won.
- Leads and bid requests are separate switches: receive either, both or neither.
- Builders can block a business, which then never receives that builder's jobs.
The job board is built straight after launch. It is not available yet.
Questions from carpenters
Does Trade Assured do carpentry take-offs?
Not yet for general carpentry. The full take-off today covers roofs and roof framing. A take-off of every trade's section, framing included, comes with the Builder job board after launch.
Can my crew use it on site without signal?
Yes. Field mode on the phone works offline on every plan and sends what was done once it has signal.
How much is it for a carpentry business?
Plans start at $59 a month before GST on Starter, for up to three people. Team removes the limit on people and adds crew sign-on, timesheets, progress invoicing and job costing for $159 a month.
Other trades
Trade Assured also covers roofers, roof carpenters, bricklayers, tilers, painters and renderers and plasterers, or builders with every trade.
