Carpentry quoting

Carpentry quoting software
— quote jobs in under two minutes.

Carpentry covers a huge spread — a single internal door hang one day, a pergola, deck or full home extension the next — and the price hinges on things the customer underestimates: timber grade, span, subfloor access and how much make-good the old work needs. Tradewin prices any of it against your real timber and labour costs and sends a clean quote on site. Save your regular jobs — decking, skirting runs, door hangs — as TradeWin Recipes™ so repeat work quotes in seconds.

What drives the price of carpentry work

The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.

Timber grade & profile

Budget MDF, standard pine and premium hardwood price very differently on the same skirting, architrave or trim run — set the grade so the lineal-metre rate is right.

Height, span & access

Elevated decking, roof framing and eaves work add bearer spans, post height and difficult access that ground-level or reachable jobs don't carry.

Repair & make-good extent

Deck restoration, window frame and fascia repairs swing wildly with the extent of rot and subfloor condition — a sash adjustment is worlds apart from a sill replacement.

Structure & engineering

Pergolas, carports, sheds and extensions depend on footing depth, roof type and whether engineering sign-off applies — budget these broadly, not by the sqm alone.

Common carpentry jobs and what moves the price

  • Aluminium / Steel Balustrade

    Powder-coated aluminium or steel profile — distinct labour from timber; post fixing method varies.

  • Architraves

    Material grade and profile complexity vary the rate — set the grade under Quality.

  • Attic / Ceiling Access Ladder

    Folding ladder with hatch — ceiling joist access, insulation work, and frame type affect install time.

  • Bench Seat / Built-in Seating

    Window seat, bench, or banquette — storage base and finish level drive cost.

  • Built-in Wardrobe Framing

    Framing the recess/opening only (no doors or internals) — preps the cavity for a wardrobe system. Enter width of the opening.

  • Built-in Wardrobes

    Enter the total width of the wardrobe run. Sliding vs hinged doors, internals configuration, and material spec drive cost.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tradewin built for carpenters?+

Yes. Tradewin supports 54+ carpentry job types including Aluminium / Steel Balustrade, Architraves, Attic / Ceiling Access Ladder. You can also add custom job types for work that isn't in the list.

How fast can I quote a carpentry job?+

Most tradies price and send a quote in under two minutes once costs are saved. Repeat jobs are faster — apply a TradeWin Recipe and the costs scale to the new job size automatically.

Can customers request quotes via SMS or my website?+

The website quote form works on the free plan and every paid plan. A dedicated inbound number is included with Business and Scale, or available through the separate number add-on on other plans. Either way, a saved Recipe can prepare a priced draft for you to review and send.

Does Tradewin connect to Xero?+

Yes. Once you issue an invoice you can push it straight to Xero as a draft — no double data entry.

Can Tradewin quote decking, pergolas and other outdoor structures?+

Yes — ground-level and elevated decking, flat and pitched pergolas, carports and sheds are all pre-loaded and priced by footprint. Enter your timber, fixings and labour (or snap the yard docket) and it prices to your real costs, including post footings and roofing spec.

Does it handle both fit-out trim and structural framing?+

Yes. Skirting, architraves, doors and wardrobes sit alongside stud framing, roof framing and partition walls, each with its own rate, so a fit-out day and a framing day both quote accurately from the same tool.
