Built by a sparky, for crews

Made on the tools, for the tools.

BM Quotes didn't come out of a software company. It came out of running an electrical crew in Melbourne, and needing every part of the job to finally talk to every other part.

“I built the tool I wished I had running my own crew.”
🇦🇺 Designed & built in Australia

Quote the job, chase the crew's hours, match wholesaler dockets, work out what the builder is holding in retention, hand the lot to the bookkeeper, and find out months later whether the job actually made money. That's how most trade businesses run, across a pile of apps and spreadsheets that don't talk to each other, with everything typed in twice.

BM Quotes is the whole chain in one place. You quote it, the client accepts online, the crew logs the day on their phone, the wholesaler's invoice files itself against the job, you watch the profit as it happens, and the invoice goes out and gets paid, with quotes, bills and invoices flowing straight into Xero at every step.

It is still run on a real business every day. Every feature earns its place because it solved a problem on a live job first, and it ships in the language you already use on site.

Why crews

The size the software market skips.

There is plenty of software for a sole trader, and plenty for a company with a full office behind it. The gap sits in the middle, and it is a wide one.

Once you put on a third or fourth set of hands you are running a real business: progress claims, retention, variations, subbies, wholesaler accounts, compliance paperwork and a crew who need to be told where to go. The cheap apps stop well short of that. The serious ones charge per user from the very first person, and half of what you actually need sits behind a higher tier or a paid module.

BM Quotes is built for that middle. One price covers every feature and your first six people. After that it is $50 for each extra person, so the cost per head falls as the crew grows: $92 each at six, $63 each at twenty.

The bigger your crew, the less it costs per head.
What we care about

How we build it.

One app, not five

If a step in the job lives somewhere else, you're typing it twice. We keep the whole lifecycle under one roof so nothing falls through the gaps.

Nothing held back

No tiers, no locked features, no paid modules. Contracts, retention, progress claims, compliance and the assistant are on every account from day one.

Xero stays the books

We don't replace your accountant. Quotes, invoices and bills flow into Xero so it stays the single source of truth, with none of the double entry.

Price you can plan around

You pay for the size of your crew, not for unlocking the tools you need to get paid. One price up to six people, then fifty dollars for each person after that. That's the whole pricing page.

Field-first, price-blind

The crew captures the day on the phone in their pocket, so the office isn't chasing hours and materials on Monday. They never see a dollar figure, and that's enforced in the database, not just hidden on the screen.

In your language

Job numbers, dockets, variations, progress claims, retention, subbies, named the way you say them on site, not the way software people write them.

Australian, and specific about it

Built here for the way the trade works here: GST and BAS, security-of-payment wording, state compliance certificates, SWMS, and retention against a real subcontract.

Your data stays yours

Export everything, any time, as plain files with your job names on the folders. If you ever leave, you take the lot with you first.

Always moving

New work lands most weeks, driven by what goes wrong on a real job. What shipped this month is on the features page, not in a roadmap you can't see.

Right now

Ten founding spots.

The first ten crews on board pay $450 a month for up to ten people, and they hold that rate for as long as they stay. After the ten are gone the price is $550 a month for up to six, plus $50 for each person after that.

Being early means you are dealing with the person who built it and still runs his own crew on it, not a support queue.

Ten spots, one rate, held for life.

Run your next job on it.

Every feature, on your own work, with your own numbers.
