Job costing
Hours, materials and extras tracked against every job.
Wollopit for carpenters
Carpenters: know what every job really made. Labour and materials tracked to the cent.
Timber dockets in the ute, hours in a diary and no real idea if that deck made money. We build job costing and quoting systems for carpenters.
Looking for job costing software for carpentry?
Carpentry jobs blow out quietly: an extra day here, more timber there. Without tracking, you only find out at tax time. We build systems that show the real cost of every job while it's happening.
Wollopit builds job systems, quoting tools, booking systems and websites for carpenters around how you actually work. We connect the apps you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back on the tools.

05How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your carpentry business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
06Questions
FAQ
Things carpenters ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Is it simple enough to use on site?
Yes. Logging hours or a docket takes a couple of taps on your phone, so it actually gets done.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your carpentry business. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
We already use a job management app. Do we have to switch?
No. If it's doing its job we build around it: the missing features, the integrations and the website on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Will it work on a phone in the van?
Yes. Everything we build for trades works on a phone first, with big buttons and photos that upload when you get signal back.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
