Demolition software: quotes, asbestos, disposal & permits

Demolition: quote the whole job, including what's hiding. Asbestos and disposal priced in.

Quotes that miss the asbestos in the eaves, tip fees that blow out by Thursday, disconnections chased by email and SWMS sitting in the ute. We build quoting, disposal, permit and site systems for demolition contractors that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for demolition quoting software that prices the hazards and the tip?

A demolition job is won or lost before the first excavator rolls in. Miss the asbestos sheeting under the lino and the margin's gone. Guess the tip fees on mixed waste and you're paying to work. Meanwhile the disconnections, council approvals, neighbour notices and dilapidation photos are scattered across inboxes, phones and a folder in the site office.

Wollopit builds custom demolition software around how your business actually runs. Quotes prompt the hazard checks and price disposal by material and volume. Permits and disconnections track themselves. Every tip docket, salvage load and safety record lands against the job. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from demolition contractors

Does your demolition business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most demolition contractors we talk to are brilliant on the machine and run the office on spreadsheets, phone photos and memory. It works until a job turns up asbestos nobody priced.

  • The problemAsbestos missed at quoteFibro under the cladding or vinyl tiles with dodgy backing turn up on day two and the job's suddenly underwater.
    How we fix itHazard checklists built into every quote, hazmat survey results attached and asbestos removal priced as its own stage.
  • The problemDisposal costs guessedConcrete, bricks, timber, green waste and contaminated soil all go to different places at different rates. The quote just says 'tip'.
    How we fix itDisposal priced by material and volume using your real facility rates and levies, so the quote matches the dockets.
  • The problemPermits and disconnections chased by emailCouncil approval, power, gas, water, NBN and sewer cap-off all tracked in someone's inbox. Miss one and the machine sits idle.
    How we fix itA permit and disconnection checklist per job with dates, reference numbers and reminders so nothing holds up the start.
  • The problemTip dockets lost in the uteWeighbridge dockets get crumpled, lost or handed in a fortnight late. Nobody knows what the job really cost to dispose of.
    How we fix itDrivers snap the docket on their phone. Tonnes, material and cost land on the job straight away.
  • The problemSalvage value ignoredSteel, copper, hardwood, bricks and fixtures go out the gate with no record of what they were worth.
    How we fix itSalvage items logged on site and credited against the job, with scrap returns matched to each load.
  • The problemSWMS and safety on paperSWMS, prestarts and inductions on clipboards that get rained on. Good luck finding them when an inspector asks.
    How we fix itDigital SWMS, prestarts and inductions signed on the phone and stored against the job and the worker.
  • The problemNeighbour notices done by handLetterbox drops written fresh every time with no record of who got told what or when.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole demolition business, on one system.

These are the systems demolition contractors ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

Quoting & hazards

Quote the job you'll actually find.

Your site walk becomes the quote. Photos, measurements and hazard flags go in on the phone and the quote prompts every check that usually gets missed. Asbestos, lead paint and contaminated soil get priced as their own stages instead of discovered on day two.

  • Site walk checklists on the phone
  • Hazmat survey results attached
  • Asbestos and lead paint prompts by build year
  • Staged pricing for removal and demolition
  • Disposal pulled in by material
  • Salvage credits on the quote
  • Templates for knockdowns and strip-outs
  • Exclusions and latent conditions spelt out
  • Quotes signed online
  • Won quotes become jobs in one tap

Disposal & dockets

Every tonne priced and every docket on the job.

Your facility rates live in one place by material, levies included. Drivers snap each weighbridge docket on site so you see actual disposal against the quote while the job is still running, not a month later.

  • Rates by material and facility
  • Waste levies built in
  • Truck runs from volume or tonnes
  • Docket photos from the driver's phone
  • Actual versus quoted per material
  • Over-quote alerts mid-job
  • Scrap returns matched to loads
  • Licensed asbestos disposal records
  • Recycling totals for the client
  • Costs flow through to Xero or MYOB

Permits & disconnections

Ready to go the day the machine arrives.

Every job gets its own checklist of approvals, disconnections and notices. Reference numbers, dates and contacts sit in one place with reminders, so nobody finds out on the morning that the gas is still connected.

  • Council approval tracking
  • Power, gas and water disconnections
  • NBN and sewer cap-off
  • Before You Dig requests logged
  • Reference numbers and contacts per job
  • Automatic follow-up reminders
  • Start date blocked until it's all clear
  • Neighbour notice templates
  • Delivery records for every notice
  • Shared view for the office and site

Site safety & crews

SWMS, prestarts and tickets in every pocket.

Crews sign SWMS, prestarts and inductions on their phones before the first swing. The office sees who's on which site and whether their tickets are current. When an inspector turns up everything is two taps away.

  • Digital SWMS with sign-off
  • Daily prestarts and plant checks
  • Site inductions for new starts
  • Toolbox talks recorded
  • Licence and ticket register
  • Expiry alerts before tickets lapse
  • Incident and near miss reports
  • Crew allocation per site
  • Works offline in dead zones
  • Timesheets to Deputy or payroll

Neighbours & handover

Keep the street onside and hand over clean.

Dilapidation photos of every neighbouring property are dated and stored before the first wall comes down. Complaints get logged and closed out. At the end the handover pack builds itself with clearance certificates, disposal records and final photos.

  • Before and after dilapidation photos
  • Photos stored per neighbouring address
  • Dust and noise complaint log
  • Follow-ups and resolutions recorded
  • Clearance certificates attached
  • Waste report by material
  • Final site photos
  • Handover pack emailed to the client
  • Final invoice with approved variations
  • Records kept for years, easy to find
04How it changes

  2. Asbestos spotted on day two and never priced
  3. Tip fees guessed as one lump sum
  4. Power disconnection chased by email for a week
  5. Dockets handed in a fortnight late
  6. Margin disappears and nobody knows where

After

  1. Site walk captured on the phone with photos
  2. Hazard checks prompted before the quote goes out
  3. Disposal priced by material and facility
  4. Permits and disconnections tracked with reminders
  5. Dockets snapped on site and costed instantly
  6. Margin protected and visible on every job

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your demolition business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We walk a site with you, sit in the office and ride along to the tip, then work out what's actually costing you margin.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your quotes, hazards, disposal rates, permits, crews, plant, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually quoting and disposal first, so the next job you price is a better one.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things demolition contractors ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can it link with asbestos removal records?

Yes. Removal control plans, clearance certificates and air monitoring results can be attached to the demolition job. They also flow into the handover pack automatically.

Can it price disposal using our actual tip rates?

Yes. We load your facility rates by material with levies included, then update them when the tips change their prices. Your quotes use real numbers instead of a guess.

Can drivers record tip dockets on their phone?

Yes. They snap the weighbridge docket at the gate. Tonnes, material and cost land against the job so you can compare actual disposal to the quote while the job is still running.

Does it work on sites with no reception?

Yes. The site apps can work offline and sync once the phone finds signal again. A dead zone on a rural block won't stop a prestart.

We already use Procore and Xero. Do we have to switch?

No. If Procore, Xero, MYOB or SafetyCulture are doing their job, we build around them. If something is holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

How much does a demolition system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like a docket capture app or permit tracker can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

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 demolition contractors 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.
