What's the best quoting app for pool builders in Australia?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for Australian and New Zealand pool builders that turns a job description into an itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds; plans start at $29 AUD a month. A sample Insta Quotes pool builder quote itemises the job into shell, plant, coping and labour lines.
How much does Insta Quotes cost for a pool builder in Australia?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so pool builders in Australia can quote before paying.
How much should a pool builder charge per hour in Australia?
Pool installer labour, per hour in Australia: "From $70/hr" (source: ServiceSeeking pool construction page (marketplace headline, estimate)). Rates vary by city and experience, so in Insta Quotes you set your own hourly rate and every quote is priced from it.
Is there a quoting app for pool builders?
Insta Quotes runs in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer, so there's nothing to install. Describe the pool, or upload site photos or plans on Tier 2 and Tier 3, and the AI drafts a quote with shell, plant, coping and labour on separate lines, ready to edit and send.
How do I quote a pool installation?
Start with the pool type, size and site access. The AI prices the shell, excavation, plant, coping and labour as separate lines from your rate card, grouped so the client can follow the scope. Put what you're not doing, such as landscaping or rock removal, in the exclusions box so it's agreed before work starts.
Can I quote a pool from a site photo?
Yes, on Tier 2 and Tier 3. Upload site photos or a PDF plan and the AI reads them into priced line items you can check and edit. On Tier 1 you describe the job in text. Either way, your own hourly rate and materials markup are applied to the quote.
How do I help clients compare pool quotes?
Make yours easy to compare. Itemise the shell, excavation, plant and surrounds so the client sees scope, not just a total. Put upgrades such as heating, lighting or a cover as optional extras outside the total, which the client can tick, and set an expiry date so an old price isn't held against you.
Can I take a deposit when a pool quote is accepted?
Yes. Email the quote from the app and the client accepts online through the link on the quote. Switch on a deposit and they pay it at acceptance. The accepted quote then becomes an invoice without retyping, and on Tier 2 and Tier 3 you can bill a long job in progress stages.
