Measure-based pricing
Price by metre, square metre or item with quantities that multiply out automatically.
Saved items
Keep your usual timber sizes, fixings and labour rates ready to reuse.
Signed approval
The client accepts and signs online before you order materials.
Try the whole job

Hi Olivia, here is your quote for built-in wardrobe. Total $3,883.00 incl. GST. You can review and accept it online.
Built for the trades
More than quotes and invoices.
The tools that protect the money on every job, all included in the same price.
Your wholesaler’s prices
Import your supplier’s price file, set your markup and see your margin on every quote. Customers never see your costs.
Variations signed on site
Extra work? The customer signs the variation on your phone or by link, and it’s added to the invoice.
Profit on every job
Materials, hours and other costs against what you invoiced, so you can see which jobs made money.
Licence and insurance reminders
Wattlebase emails you 30 days and 7 days before a licence, card or insurance runs out. Send the certificate to a builder in seconds.
More Google reviews
A short email the morning after a customer pays asks for a review. Never more than once in 6 months, with a stop link.
Property managers and sites
Keep an agency’s properties, tenants and work order numbers together, with smoke alarm and safety checks due.
Photos and optional extras
Add site photos to quotes and jobs, and let customers tick optional extras when they accept.
After the quote
The rest of the job, sorted.
Wattlebase keeps going once the customer says yes, from booking the work to getting paid.
Get paid by card
Every invoice can carry a Pay now button. Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and the money lands in your bank.
Jobs and reminders
Book the job, set up repeat visits and let Wattlebase remind the customer the day before you arrive.
Bring your team
Invite office staff and workers. Assign jobs and give field workers their own view without the prices.
Xero and BAS ready
Send invoices and payments to Xero automatically, or pull a GST report for any BAS quarter.

Common questions
What small businesses ask
Can I price by the metre?
Yes. Enter quantities with up to two decimals and a unit price, and the total is worked out for you.
Can I ask for a deposit?
Yes. Record a deposit against the invoice and send a receipt.
Can the client choose between options?
Create a separate quote for each option so the client can accept the one they want.
Can I add my own terms?
Yes. Save default terms and notes in your settings and they appear on every quote.
Can my customers pay by card?
Yes. Connect your own Stripe account and invoices and deposits get a Pay now button for card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The money goes to your bank, the invoice marks itself paid, and Wattlebase takes no cut.
Can my staff use it too?
Yes. The Team plan is $39 AUD a month for up to 5 people. Invite staff with Owner, Office or Field access and assign jobs to them; field workers see their jobs without the prices.
Is there a Wattlebase app for my phone?
Yes. There’s nothing to download from an app store. Open wattlebase.com.au on your phone and add it to your home screen in two taps, and it opens full screen like any other app.
What if there’s no phone signal on site?
Keep working. Quotes and customers you create with no signal are saved on your phone and upload automatically when you’re back in range. Sending and PDFs wait until you’re online.
