Plan take-off tool
Click rooms on PDF plans to measure walls, ceilings, heights and openings in minutes.
Plastering quote software: areas, sheets & claims
Plasterers: measure it, price it, get on the tools. Sheets counted, claims paid.
Plans measured with a scale ruler on a Sunday night, sheets counted on the back of a docket, setters juggled across six sites and builder claims chased for weeks. We build quoting, scheduling and claims systems for plastering businesses that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for plastering quoting software that also runs the jobs and the claims?
Plastering quotes come down to areas, sheet lengths, cornice metres, finish levels and labour. Working it out from plans is slow and every estimator does it a bit differently. Then the job is won and the real juggling starts: board deliveries, hangers and setters across sites, drying time between coats, variations on the day and progress claims the builder takes their time paying.
Wollopit builds custom plastering software around how your business actually runs. Click the rooms on a plan and the walls, ceilings, sheets and cornice add themselves up. The quote goes out the same day. Won jobs land on a schedule that knows hang comes before set. Variations get approved on the builder's phone and claims chase themselves. 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 plasterers
Does your plastering business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most plasterers we talk to can hang and set beautifully. The business side runs on a scale ruler, a group chat and a pile of PDFs in the ute.

The big ones
Your whole plastering business, on one system.
These are the systems plasterers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Measure & quote
Wall and ceiling areas measured and priced in minutes.
Drop in the PDF plans, set the scale and click through the rooms. Walls, ceilings, cornice runs and openings add up as you go. Your rates do the rest so a new house quote goes out the same day instead of next week.

- Doors, windows and openings deducted
- Wet area, fire-rated and standard board
- Finish levels priced separately
- Access, height and travel loadings

Materials & deliveries
The right board on the right lot.
Every quote builds its own material list with sheet lengths chosen to cut joins and waste. When the job is won the order goes to your supplier with the lot number, drop spot and loading notes, so the board is where the hangers need it.

- Your own waste factor
- Supplier price lists kept current
- Orders sent from the material list
- Lot number and drop location
- Upstairs loading notes

- Jobs and notes on crew phones
- SMS when a site is pushed back

- Crew capacity for the weeks ahead
Claims & variations

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 plastering 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 on site, in the ute and at the desk where the quoting happens, then work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your take-offs, rates, materials, crews, builders, claims, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually measuring and quoting first, so you feel the win on your next set of plans.
- 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 plasterers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it measure straight off PDF plans?
Yes. You load the plans, set the scale and click around the rooms. Walls, ceilings, cornice and openings add up as you go and feed straight into the quote and material list.
Will it work out sheet lengths and cornice?
Yes. It works out sheet lengths per wall and ceiling to cut down joins and waste, then adds cornice, compound, screws, adhesive and tape using your own waste factor.
Can it handle commercial fit-outs?
Yes. Large jobs can be split by level and area with their own measurements, claims, variations and crew scheduling for each.
We already use ServiceM8 or Tradify. Do we have to switch?
No. If your job management is doing its job we build around it and add the measuring, material lists, stage scheduling and claims it doesn't do well. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Can builders approve variations without downloading an app?
Yes. They get a text with a link showing the photos and price and approve it on their phone. The approval is saved against the job for claim time.
How much does a plastering 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 room calculator or repair quote form 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 plasterers 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.
