Insulation installer software: quotes, savings & installs

Insulation installers: show the savings, then the price. Quotes that sell comfort.

Roof spaces measured by torchlight, quotes that only talk about square metres and install photos lost in someone's camera roll. We build quoting, booking and job record systems for insulation installers that show customers what they'll save. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for insulation quoting software that actually sells the job?

Insulation is a funny thing to sell. Nobody gets excited about a bag of batts and once it's in the roof nobody sees it again. Customers ring during a heatwave or a cold snap, get three quotes with the same square metre rate and pick the cheapest. Meanwhile your crew is crawling through roof spaces that feel like a pizza oven by ten o'clock, dodging downlights and old cabling, then doing the paperwork on the tailgate.

Wollopit builds custom insulation software around how your business actually runs. Quotes that work out the ceiling area from the house size or plans, explain R-values in plain English and show estimated energy savings next to the price. Bookings that respect the heat. Safety checks and install photos saved against every job. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from insulation installers

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

Most insulation businesses we talk to are flat out in summer and winter, then scrambling in between. The installs are solid. The quoting and paperwork is where the hours disappear.

  • The problemQuotes only show areaCustomers see a square metre rate and a total with no idea what it actually does for them.
    How we fix itQuotes that show the price alongside estimated energy savings and comfort benefits, clearly labelled as estimates.
  • The problemEvery quote means a roof crawlA drive out, a ladder, a torch and a tape measure just to give someone a number.
    How we fix itCeiling area estimated from house size, plans or aerial imagery so most quotes go out the same day. Site visits saved for the tricky ones.
  • The problemR-values mean nothing to customersR2.5, R4.0, R6.0. Customers nod along and then ask which one is cheapest.
    How we fix itPlain-English good, better and best options showing what each means for comfort in their climate zone.
  • The problemWalls and underfloor never come upCustomers only think about the ceiling, so walls, underfloor and sarking never get mentioned.
    How we fix itWhole-home quoting with walls, underfloor and roof sarking as add-ons they can tick on the spot.
  • The problemOld insulation is a surpriseFlattened, rat-chewed or dodgy old insulation has to come out first and it's rarely in the price.
    How we fix itRemoval and disposal priced from customer photos, with anything that looks like loose-fill asbestos flagged before anyone goes up.
  • The problemSafety checks live on paperPower off at the board, downlight clearances, cabling checked. It all gets done but proving it later is another story.
    How we fix itA pre-install safety checklist on the installer's phone with photos, timestamps and sign-off before the first batt goes in.
  • The problemInstall records are scatteredPhotos sit in the installer's camera roll and the paperwork lives somewhere in the ute.
    How we fix itBefore and after photos, product, R-value and area installed saved against every job with a certificate for the customer.
  • The problemThe heat wrecks the scheduleBook a roof job for 1pm in January and the crew is cooked. One wet week throws everything out.
    How we fix itA schedule that puts roof work in the early slots, shifts jobs around the weather and texts customers when things move.
  • The problemRebate questionsCustomers ask about government schemes and nobody's quite sure what's current in their state.
    How we fix itRebate and scheme guidance kept up to date where available, with eligibility questions built into the quote.
  • The problemBuilder work by emailPlans arrive as attachments and stage dates keep moving without anyone telling you.
    How we fix itA builder portal where builders upload plans, book stages and see when ceilings and walls are done.
  • The problemWrong stock on the vanShort on R6.0 batts halfway through a job while bags of the wrong stuff sit in the shed.
    How we fix itMaterial quantities worked out from each accepted quote, with van stock and supplier orders tracked.
  • The problemQuotes go coldEnquiries pile up in a cold snap and half of them never get a follow-up.
    How we fix itAutomatic quote follow-ups by SMS and email, plus a nudge to old leads before the next season turns.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole insulation business, on one system.

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

Savings quoting

Show what it saves. Then show the price.

Quotes built around the benefit, not just the square metres. Customers see good, better and best options in plain English with estimated energy savings beside each one. Walls, underfloor and removal sit right there as extras they can add.

  • Ceiling area pulled in from the estimator
  • Good, better and best options
  • R-values explained in plain English
  • Estimated savings, clearly labelled
  • Climate zone aware recommendations
  • Walls, underfloor and sarking add-ons
  • Removal and disposal line items
  • Accept and pay a deposit online
  • Quotes branded to your business
  • Accepted quotes flow into the schedule

Area estimates & enquiries

Quote the same day without climbing a ladder.

Customers tell you about the house and upload a couple of roof space photos. The system estimates the ceiling area from the house size, plans or aerial imagery and only flags a site visit when the roof really needs one.

  • Online quote request form
  • House size, storeys and roof type
  • Floor plan uploads
  • Aerial imagery lookups
  • Roof space photo uploads
  • Access and pitch warnings
  • Site visit flag for tricky jobs
  • Enquiries sorted by suburb
  • Missed enquiry follow-ups

Install scheduling

Roof work booked before the roof gets hot.

A crew calendar that knows roof spaces turn into ovens by lunchtime. Ceiling jobs go in the early slots, underfloor and walls fill the afternoons. When the weather turns everyone gets a text.

  • Crew and van calendars
  • Early slots for roof work
  • Underfloor and wall jobs after lunch
  • Drag and drop rescheduling
  • Weather shuffles for wet weeks
  • SMS reminders and on-the-way texts
  • Job details on the installer's phone
  • Syncs with Google Calendar

Safety & install records

Every job checked, photographed and filed.

Installers work through a safety checklist on their phone before they start, with photos and timestamps. When the job is done the product, R-value and area installed are saved with before and after photos and the customer gets a certificate.

  • Power off at the board confirmed
  • Downlight clearance and cover checks
  • Cabling and junction box checks
  • Photo proof with timestamps
  • Suspected asbestos stop-work flag
  • Before and after photos
  • Product, R-value and area installed
  • Installer sign-off
  • Certificate emailed to the customer
  • Records searchable by address

Builders & materials

Builders book stages. The van has the right batts.

Builders get a portal to upload plans, book wall and ceiling stages and see completion photos. Every accepted job works out the materials it needs so van stock and supplier orders stay ahead of the schedule.

  • Builder logins per company
  • Plan uploads and take-offs
  • Stage bookings and changes
  • Completion photos shared
  • Invoices to Xero or MYOB
  • Materials worked out per job
  • Van and shed stock levels
  • Low stock alerts
  • Supplier orders ready to send

  2. Drive out and crawl the roof with a torch
  3. Quote goes back two days later in square metres
  4. Customer can't tell R4.0 from R6.0
  5. Underfloor never gets mentioned
  6. They pick the cheapest quote, ceiling only

After

  1. Customer fills in a quick form with roof photos
  2. Ceiling area estimated from house size and plans
  3. Quote goes out the same day with estimated savings
  4. Good, better and best options in plain English
  5. Underfloor added with one tick
  6. Deposit paid and an early start booked

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 insulation business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We ride along on an install, sit in on the quoting and work out where the hours actually go.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your products, pricing, savings estimates, crews, builders, stock, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the quoting first, so you get a win before the next heatwave.

  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 insulation installers ask us.

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

How accurate are the savings estimates?

They're estimates based on general figures for the home and climate zone, clearly labelled as such. They help customers compare options and understand the value. They don't promise an exact power bill.

Can we really quote without going into the roof?

For most standard homes, yes. The ceiling area comes from house size, plans or aerial imagery and customers can upload roof space photos. Anything steep, tight or unusual gets flagged for a site visit.

Can it keep our safety and install records?

Yes. Installers complete the safety checklist on their phone with photos before they start. Product, R-value, area and photos are saved against the job, searchable by address whenever you need them.

Can it help customers with rebates?

We can show current schemes and eligibility where they're available in your state and keep that information updated. It stays separate from your price so nobody's confused about what they pay.

We already use ServiceM8 or Tradify. Do we have to switch?

No. If your job management is doing its job we build around it, adding the savings quotes, area estimates and records on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can builders book their own stages?

Yes. Builders get a login to upload plans, book wall and ceiling stages and see completion photos without chasing you by phone.

How much does an insulation 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 savings quote builder 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 insulation installers 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.
