Builder Quote & Invoice Software South Africa
Builders and general contractors in South Africa quote renovations, extensions, boundary walls, and granny flats — projects where materials, subcontractors, and labour phases stretch over weeks or months. Clients and banks want detailed quotes that break out foundation work, brickwork, roofing, plumbing rough-in, and finishes separately. The Trade Kit helps small building firms produce professional, VAT-compliant quotes without enterprise construction software priced in foreign currency. Quote project phases as separate line items, take deposit invoices before ordering materials, and issue progress invoices at agreed milestones. Document variations with revised quotes when the client adds a patio or changes window sizes. Keep sequential invoice numbers for your accountant and SARS. Schedule subcontractor visits on the job calendar and link jobs to customer records. From backyard rooms in Soweto to seaside renovations in Ballito, The Trade Kit gives builders documents as solid as their workmanship.
Frequently asked questions
- How do builders quote renovation projects?
- Break the project into phases: demolition, structure, roofing, services, and finishes. Each phase gets its own line items for labour and materials.
- Can I issue progress invoices?
- Yes. Create invoices at agreed milestones — deposit, slab, roof, and completion — each referencing the original quote number in notes.
