How carpenters use TradieFiles
Materials lists per job
List the timber, fixings and hardware by quantity and unit, and tick them off as they arrive on site.
Plans on the job
Attach plans, permits and engineering as files on the job, so the whole crew has the latest version on their phone.
Deposits and progress invoices
Take a deposit when the quote’s accepted, then invoice the rest when you’re done, or in stages along the way.
Timesheets for the crew
Everyone records their hours against the job, so you know what each job really took.
A checklist for every job
Save a checklist once and add it to any job. Your crew ticks it off on their phones, and you see where every job is up to.

Questions from carpenters
What’s in the carpentry trade pack?
Checklists for decks, pergolas, framing and hanging doors, plus price list items and photo tags. Change them to suit how you work, or delete what you don’t need.
Can I track a job that runs for weeks?
Yes. A job can have tasks on different days, notes, photos and timesheets from everyone who worked on it, and more than one invoice.
Does it sync with Xero?
Yes. Invoices and payments sync to Xero, so your bookkeeper doesn’t retype them.
