Calculation tools
Your methods online.
Engineering calculation tools with branded reports
Consulting engineers: calcs to reports in one click. Your methods, as tools.
Calculation spreadsheets passed around, reports formatted manually and versions confused. We build calculation tools for consulting engineers.
Looking for engineering calculation software?
Consulting engineers rely on calculation methods buried in spreadsheets. We turn them into reliable tools that produce reports.
Wollopit builds client portals, intake flows, document automation and websites for consulting engineers around how your practice actually works. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can spend your hours on billable work.

Everything under one roof
Software, websites and systems for consulting engineers.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for consulting engineers

Websites for consulting engineers
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Consulting engineering firm system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your consulting engineering firm: 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.
07Questions
FAQ
Things consulting engineers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Will the tool give the same results as our spreadsheets?
Yes. We test against your spreadsheets until the results match.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your consulting engineering firm. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can it work with our practice software?
Usually, yes. We connect to the tools you rely on and build the client-facing bits they can't do. If something should go we'll explain why first.
Is client information kept secure?
Yes. Portals use encrypted connections, access is restricted to the right people and documents stay on our managed servers. We follow the Australian Privacy Principles.
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.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most consulting engineers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
