What is InstaBid?

InstaBid is a web-based solution designed for estimating and finalizing projects, specifically crafted for residential contractors and specialized trades. It enables users to create detailed and customizable estimates using an online form, allowing them to accurately evaluate material and labor costs, adjust pricing and markup, and determine the best timing for submitting their bids to clients. The platform encompasses the entire process from obtaining approvals for proposals and contracts to collecting deposits through Stripe and organizing schedules on a calendar. Furthermore, it offers features such as managing signed change orders, following up with clients, soliciting bids from subcontractors, and producing branded PDF estimates for contractors. By providing this all-inclusive approach, InstaBid seeks to simplify both the estimating process and client interactions into a cohesive workflow that empowers smaller contracting businesses to manage their projects from the initial idea all the way to an accepted proposal and a scheduled start date. This seamless integration of various tools and processes not only alleviates administrative tasks but also allows contractors to dedicate more of their time to executing high-quality work. With InstaBid, contractors can enhance their operational efficiency and improve their overall service delivery.

What is CostMate?

CostMate helps New Zealand residential builders, from sole traders to small crews, price a job and then run it. It covers 17 job types such as decks, fences, bathrooms, kitchens, reclads and additions. For each one it lists the materials with quantities, the labour hours by stage, and the assumptions and exclusions your client should see. Prices are taken from Dayle ITM or PlaceMakers trade pricing, or from your own uploaded supplier pricing, on every plan. The figures are calculated by a rules engine, not by AI; AI only writes the wording. Once the quote is accepted, the same job carries on with variations, purchase orders, progress claims and crew hours that count only after you approve them. Built in Auckland by a qualified carpenter. Free plan available, plus 30 days of full access for new accounts, no card needed.
