Quoting app for builders and carpenters.
Extensions, renovations, decks, pergolas, second-fix carpentry — break the job into clean stages, attach plans and photos, and send a quote the client can actually understand on their phone.
Works with Xero · ServiceM8 · MYOB · QuickBooks
Quoting headaches Quoto fixes for builders.
Big multi-stage jobs that turn into a 6-page PDF nobody reads end-to-end
Quoting against a builder's PC schedule without dropping a line item
Variations turning into 'I never agreed to that' conversations at handover
Losing a Saturday updating spreadsheets to keep the office and the site on the same page
Built for the jobs builders actually quote.
Extensions and renovations
Stage the quote by demo, framing, lock-up, fit-off and finish — with PC allowances and provisional sums clearly called out so there are no surprises later.
Decks, pergolas and outdoor structures
Itemise structural timber, decking, fixings and labour. Add optional upgrades (hardwood vs treated pine, screening, balustrade) the customer can pick from.
Second-fix carpentry
Quote skirting, architrave, doors and built-ins room by room, with materials and labour separated so the client sees where the money goes.
Your line items. Saved. Ready to drop in.
Save the line items you quote week in, week out — labour, materials, callouts, surcharges — then drop them into any quote in a couple of taps.

Can Quoto handle PC sums, provisional sums and variations?
Yes — flag any line as a PC or provisional sum so it shows clearly on the quote. Variations get their own quote (or are added to the existing one) so the paper trail matches what's actually agreed.Can I attach plans or scope documents to the quote?
Yes — attach PDFs and photos to a quote (plans, council notes, site shots) so the client signs off knowing exactly what's included and what's not.Will it push approved jobs into Xero so my bookkeeper is happy?
Yes. Approved quotes push straight to Xero with line items intact, so your bookkeeper isn't chasing you for what was actually quoted on each job.Is it overkill for a one-chippy operation?
No — the free Starter plan is plenty for a solo carpenter, and Pro adds branded PDFs and Xero sync when you're ready. You can start free and stay there as long as it works for you.
