Material prices in Laois move, and a quote priced from last season's numbers is the fastest way to lose margin. WinkScope puts estimating, invoicing, scheduling, work orders and time tracking in one place for general contractors, remodellers, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, flooring, painting and landscaping firms working in Laois.
Work in Laois is driven by home extensions, deep retrofit grant work and one-off rural housing. Licensing runs through registration schemes such as RECI and RGII for electrical and gas work, with CIRI registration for builders, and approvals go through local authority planning permission plus BC(A)R commencement notices and certification. WinkScope does not file permits or licences for you, but it keeps the scope, revisions, approvals and photo record that those conversations depend on in one job file.
Mild wet weather year round, with damp, rain ingress and insulation work a constant decides when exterior work actually happens across the state. The WinkScope schedule shows a live weather overlay on the calendar and Gantt, so a washed-out day is moved once and every dependent task, crew and client reminder moves with it.
Turn an accepted estimate into an invoice, take card payment through Stripe, bill deposits, milestones or progress claims, and raise change orders that carry their own approval and their own billing. Invoices, payments and change orders all post back to the project, so the financial picture for a Laois job is one screen, not three spreadsheets.
Field crews use the phone apps for job details, checklists, photos, GPS-stamped time entries and client signatures. Subcontractors get work orders with scope and checklists; clients get a portal showing approvals, documents and progress. Nothing has to be re-typed when the crew gets back from a Laois job.
Starter $29.99/mo, Pro $79.99/mo, Agency $199/mo and Enterprise $799/mo, each with a 15-day free trial and no card required to start. Plans are billed in USD worldwide, and you can invoice your own clients in your local currency.
Quotes are issued in EUR with VAT (including the 13.5% construction rate) handled on the document and measurements in metres and square metres. Your price book holds what you actually pay at Chadwicks, Woodie's, Heiton Buckley and Screwfix Ireland, and live vendor search checks current pricing before a number goes out. Markup, margin and section totals are editable, so the client sees the presentation you want and you keep the maths behind it.
