Who it is for

Builders delivering residential and light commercial work, with a real project book and trades to coordinate.

A handful of live jobs or a full book. You have outgrown a job-card app and you are not buying a five-figure platform. You need one operating system for all of it.

What the operating system holds

01

Run the job

Quotes, schedule, work orders, site app, inductions. Office and crew on the same jobs, so "where's it at?" is not a phone call.

02

Know the number

Budget vs actual, live, by trade. Catch the overspend while you can still act on it, not in a spreadsheet at close-out.

03

Get paid off the job

Progress claims and invoices from the record. Subbie claims and retention on the same job, so you can see when you are the bank.

One operating system, priced by the projects you run

Users are unlimited on every plan: staff, subbies, clients, architects and certifiers cost nothing to add. You pay for active projects, not seats. Jobs don't use a project slot, and they're unlimited from Builder up (Starter includes 50 jobs a month). Scale is unlimited projects too. Sign up today. No sales call.

  • 60-day trial, no card
  • From AU$129 a month after the trial, ex GST
  • Free migration in on every plan

Straight answers.

Is this construction software for Australian builders?

Yes. Footing is the operating system for the business: jobs, claims, retention and subbies on one record. GST on every line, ABN lookup against the ABR, and a site app that works with no signal. It is not a job-card tradie app, and it is not a five-figure platform sold on turnover.

Does it only work if I run 5 to 20 jobs?

No. Starter covers up to 5 active projects and Builder covers up to 20. Scale is unlimited active projects. Jobs don't use a project slot (Starter includes 50 jobs a month, unlimited from Builder), and completed and archived projects stay in the workspace without counting toward the limit. This page is for builders with a real book, a handful of jobs or a full one.

What does it actually do on a live job?

The accepted quote seeds the job. You claim by stage, hold retention, certify subbie claims on the same record, and see budget vs committed vs actual by trade. Overdue claims sit in a queue. Takeoffs, on-site quotes and the field app stay with that money.

What does Footing keep on the job?

Jobs, budgets, quotes, variations, subbie claims and progress claims, on one record. Retention, certify, cost, schedule and a clean client update sit on the same job, without adding a seat.

How are users and projects priced?

One flat monthly price by how many projects you are delivering now, from AU$129 a month after a 60-day trial. Users never affect the price. Staff, subbies, clients, architects and certifiers are free on every plan.
