Quote it, win it, run it — from one place.
Tendr takes a job from tender to final claim without the spreadsheet sprawl. Estimating, scheduling, timesheets, purchase orders and progress claims — one workspace built for the trades.
Free plan available · No credit card to start
Built for the way construction actually works
The job's hard enough. Your tools shouldn't make it harder.
We talked to builders and subbies across NZ and Australia. Same stories, every time.
Your WhatsApp group isn't a job system
Four group chats, 4,000 unread, and nobody's sure which docket is the current one.
Timesheets on paper, photographed at 4pm
Someone retypes them. Someone keys them into payroll. Something doesn't match — every week.
The variation you forgot to claim
You did the work. You mentioned it in a text. You never claimed it. That's your margin, gone.
The quote's in a spreadsheet. Somewhere.
quote_v3_FINAL_USE_THIS.xlsx — the rates, the markup, the lot — in a file only one person can open.
Claims that go overdue by default
Submitted weeks ago. Nobody's tracking it. Tens of thousands, just sitting there.
“Can you send me a summary?”
Forty minutes cobbling together photos, notes and guesses. There goes Friday afternoon.
From the first estimate to the final claim
No more stitching together spreadsheets, calendars and accounting exports. Tendr connects the whole lifecycle.
Price the job in minutes, not weekends.
Import a client's Bill of Quantities or build from scratch, then price every line against your own rate library. Markup and margins are one click away.
CSV or Excel, any layout. AI maps the columns; refs and quantities stay locked so it exports back faithfully.
Reuse priced items and assemblies across every estimate. Update a rate once, refresh everywhere.
Set wastage and markup per line or in bulk, and see the effect on the total live.
Run the job once it's won.
Turn the estimate into a job, break it into tasks, and schedule crews and plant with capacity you can see. The field logs time; you watch budget vs actual.
Place crews and plant on a week or month board, with conflicts flagged before you commit.
Crews log hours against tasks with a rate snapshot; supervisors approve in one queue.
Cost entries roll up against the estimate so a job never drifts unnoticed.
Get paid the way construction bills.
Raise purchase orders to suppliers, then submit progress claims with retention handled the NZ/AU way — claimed, certified, retained, paid.
Issue and receive POs against the job, so committed cost is never a surprise.
Claim to date, certify, and mark paid — with retention held and released automatically.
Publish estimates as proposals and get them signed online, no printing or posting.
