For builders and renovators
SmokoBooks for builders.
Progress claims, variations and subbies, without the spreadsheet.
SmokoBooks is a Windows app for small Australian building businesses: quote the job, issue progress invoices as the stages complete, keep every variation in writing, and track subcontractor payments against the job so you know your margin before the final claim.
Built around how builders actually work.
Variations in writing
Every scope change becomes a numbered variation against the original quote, so nothing is argued about at the end.
Progress invoicing
Deposit, progress and final invoices on the one job, with the running total of what's been claimed and paid.
Subcontractor tracking
Log what you pay each subbie against the job, hold their ABN and insurance details, and get the TPAR totals at year end.
Site paperwork
SWMS, safety checks and defect notices with your details on them, saved with the job they belong to.

Questions builders ask
Is it a full construction management system?+
No, and it isn't priced like one. It's the quoting, invoicing and bookkeeping a small builder actually does every week, in one simple Windows app.
Can the office and the site both use it?+
Yes, with the Solo + office PC plan: two computers share one set of books through a synced folder, one person working at a time.
