Common Questions

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from builders and tradies.

Is it possible to manage variations after the initial quote is accepted?

Managing client variations is a breeze. Since the original quote is already in the system, you can track any extra costs for labour or materials as the project changes, making sure you aren't chewing up your margin on unplanned work.

How do I keep track of quotes that haven't been signed off yet?

There’s a dedicated dashboard that shows all your outstanding quotes in one place. It makes it easy to see what’s pending so you can follow up with leads and keep the pipeline full.

Will you help me move my existing projects and quotes into the system?

We definitely will. During your free trial, our team can help import your current projects and quotes so you can see exactly how the software handles your actual business data before you commit.

Can I use quoting templates for repetitive jobs?

If you’re doing similar types of work regularly, you can set up templates that have your standard items and costs ready to go. It’s a massive time-saver for builders and tradies who find themselves writing the same specs over and over.

Does the quoting data sync with my accounting software?

NextMinute features a two-way sync with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. This means your financial data flows between systems automatically, so you aren't stuck double-handling invoices or contact details at the end of the day.

Can I import takeoffs from my estimator or quantity surveyor?

Yes, you can easily import takeoffs from your preferred software or quantity surveyor straight into NextMinute. This saves a heap of admin and ensures your quotes match your initial measurements exactly.

What happens once a client approves my quote?

Clients can approve with a single click from their inbox, and you'll get an instant notification. From there, the quote converts into a job so you can get straight into planning and scheduling the crew without re-entering data.

Is there a way to handle labour and mark-ups on my estimates?

NextMinute lets you estimate your labour, materials, and disbursements, then add your mark-ups on top. You also have full control over what info you actually show the client on the final document so your margins stay private.

Can I import my own supplier price books into the software?

You sure can. Importing your supplier price books is easy, meaning you don't have to manually type in every material cost. If you get stuck with the setup, our local Sydney-based team is around to give you a hand.

How quickly can I get a professional quote out to a client?

You can smash out quotes in record time by using templates for your regular jobs and dropping in items from your supplier price books. Once it's ready, you just hit send and the client gets a polished, branded quote with your T&Cs attached.
