Crews in West Coast need the job, the scope and the sign-off on a phone while they are on site, not back at the office. 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 West Coast.
Work in West Coast is driven by weathertightness remediation, seismic strengthening and renovations and new housing. Licensing runs through the Licensed Building Practitioner scheme, with restricted building work requiring an LBP, and approvals go through territorial authority building consents under the New Zealand Building Code. 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.
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 NZD with GST handled on the document and measurements in metres, square metres and lineal metres. Your price book holds what you actually pay at Bunnings NZ, Mitre 10 Trade, PlaceMakers, ITM and Carters, 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.
High rainfall, coastal wind exposure and seismic detailing in most regions 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 West Coast 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 West Coast job.
