Software for builders
Construction software for builders who run tight jobs
Stages, variations, subbies and progress claims in one place, with live costs against your quote.
What should builders look for in job management software?
Builders need software that manages multi-stage projects: estimates, contracts, stage scheduling, subcontractors, signed variations, progress claims and job costing against budget. Getinto handles all of this for residential and small commercial builders, so you can see profit on each stage while the build is still running.
Home warranty insurance for builders
Builders doing residential work carry insurance obligations that vary by state. In NSW, a Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) certificate is required for residential work over $20,000, before work starts or any payment, including a deposit, is taken. In Victoria, domestic building insurance is required for work over $16,000 before payment is requested under a major domestic building contract. In Queensland, home warranty insurance under the QBCC scheme applies to insurable residential work valued over $3,300. Sources: SIRA NSW, Victorian Building Authority, QBCC.

Common questions
What software do small builders use in Australia?
Small and mid-sized builders typically need estimating, scheduling, variations, progress claims, job costing and accounting sync. Some use separate tools for each. Getinto combines them in one app, and larger builders can add custom reporting or client portals.
Can clients sign variations on their phone?
Clients can sign variations on their phone in Getinto. Send the variation as a link. The client sees the description, price and any photos, then signs on their phone, and the variation is added to the contract value and the next progress claim.
