The problem

You can't answer a simple question about your own job.

01

Where's this job at?

Today the answer is a phone call to the PM. If he's out, nobody knows.

02

You're the bank.

Subbies paid on 30 days. The claim out at 60. The overrun found at close-out.

03

The job is held together by hand.

Quote in one place, schedule on a whiteboard, budget in a spreadsheet, claims in the accounts. What you build stands on a footing. The business should too.

What builders told us

"Where's the job at?" "Ring the PM."

Every builder we sat with in 2026 gave the same answer. If the PM was out, nobody knew.

We're builders. We sat with other builders, then we built the thing that answers it.

Not another project management tool

The operating system for the business.

Everything the business does, in one place. Every job, claim, subbie and dollar on one record. The accounts talk to the job. Site and office run on the same numbers. Nothing to stitch together.

See today's queue
01

Site and office drift

Run the job

Quotes, schedule, work orders, site app, inductions. Office and crew on the same jobs.

02

The number lands at close-out

Know the number

Budget vs actual, live, by trade. Catch the overspend while you can still act on it.

03

The claim waits

Get paid

Progress claims and invoices from the job. Subbie claims and retention on the same record.

What's at stake

Any job answered in one look.

Without it

You put out fires all day.

  • "Where's it at?" takes three phone calls
  • A trade starts without a current induction
  • You fund the job between paying the subbies and being paid
  • A pile of bills lands two months later, nobody sure which job they belong to
  • The overrun lands at close-out, when it's too late to fix
  • The claim waits while the stage is already done

With Footing

No surprises that make you drop everything.

  • Any job answered in one look, from the ute or the office
  • Trades gated by induction before they start
  • "50 grand spent, 20 grand left" visible from site
  • The stage claimed the day it's done
  • Retention and subbie claims on the same record as the head contract
  • Crew, trades and clients on the job, at no extra cost
Why Footing

Software decides what size builder you're allowed to be. We disagree.

You're a builder taking on more jobs, more trades, more crew. You need one operating system for all of it.

Footing

The operating system for the business.

  • One record per job. Quote, schedule, budget, claim and crew in the same place.
  • Office, site and the books. Same job, same numbers, no re-keying.
  • Know the number early. Budget against actual, live, by trade.
  • Get paid off the job. Progress claims, retention and subbie claims from the record.
  • Priced by active jobs. Crew, trades and clients on the job at no extra cost.
  • We stand you up. White-glove migration and Footing Start included. No enterprise tax, your data out any time.

Tradie apps

Stop at job cards.

  • A progress claim doesn't fit on one
  • The number lives in a spreadsheet
  • Per-seat fees as the crew grows
  • Subbies and clients aren't on the job

Enterprise platforms

Start at five figures a year.

  • Priced on your turnover
  • Five-figure software plus a billed rollout
  • Months of demos before you're in
  • Your data stays once you're in

Migration is always included. Footing Start is complimentary early bird on Starter and Builder; always included on Scale. Verify before switching.

White-glove migration

We'll move you. You keep working.

Hand us AroFlo, Buildxact, ServiceM8, simPRO, Tradify, or a spreadsheet. We map it, bring it across, check it, and walk the crew through it.

A job list in a spreadsheet is fine. Nothing to unpick first.

Free. Others charge for the move.

  1. Hand it overBook 30 minutes or send the logins. You stay on the tools.
  2. We migrateClients, jobs, quotes, invoices, the lot. Most moves land over a weekend.
  3. We verify and launchWe check it against the old system and walk you on.
FootingStartFree

Four sessions. Free.

Footing Start is how we stand the crew up after the move. Four live sessions on your actual jobs: the record, quoting, site, and the money. Unlike other companies that charge for setup and training, it's free.

  • Four-part webinarLive, interstate. Same four sessions on a screen share.
  • In person, South AustraliaAdelaide and the rest of SA. With your crew, office or site.

Complimentary early bird on Starter and Builder. Always included on Scale.

Questions

Sensible answers.

When can I sign up?

Book a demo and we'll run it against a real job. Or start the 60-day trial yourself: create an account, add the business details, and you're in. Switching systems? We'll move your live jobs after — AroFlo, a CSV or a spreadsheet.

How does the free trial work?

Every plan starts with a 60-day free trial, no card required. That's long enough to run a real claim cycle, quote to payment, on your real projects. If it's not for you, walk away having paid nothing. After the trial, plans start at AU$129 per month (ex GST) with unlimited users. Month to month, cancel anytime. One trial per workspace.

How does pricing work? What counts as an active project?

One flat monthly price based on how many projects you're running at once: up to 5 on Starter, up to 20 on Builder, unlimited on Scale. An active project is one you're currently delivering; completed and archived projects don't count toward your limit, and their history stays in your workspace. Users never affect the price: staff, subbies, clients, architects and certifiers are all free to add, on every plan.

What is Footing Start?

The free stand-up. Four live sessions after we move you: your jobs live, quote and vary, office and site, claim and cost. Sit it as a webinar if you're interstate, or in person if you're in South Australia. Unlike other companies that charge for setup and training, Footing Start is free. Complimentary early bird on Starter and Builder. Always included on Scale and Enterprise.

Will you move us off our old system?

Yes. White-glove migration means we do the move: you hand us the logins or exports, we map the data, bring it across, and check it against the old system. Migration and onboarding are always included. Then Footing Start — four live sessions, webinar interstate or in person in South Australia. Complimentary early bird on Starter and Builder, always on Scale and Enterprise. Prefer to do it yourself? AroFlo is one click in onboarding. CSV works today for Buildxact, ServiceM8, simPRO and Tradify.

How does switching from AroFlo work?

We do the move. Hand us the AroFlo login and we pull clients, sites, jobs, quotes, invoices, POs, timesheets, documents and photos across, then check it against the old system. Migration is always included. Footing Start follows — four sessions, webinar or in person in SA. Complimentary early bird on Starter and Builder, always on Scale and Enterprise. Prefer to click it yourself? One-click import is in onboarding; a full 5-year history takes about an hour.

Can my whole team use it?

Yes, and it costs nothing to add them. Users are unlimited on every plan: office staff, supervisors, field crew, subbies, clients, architects, certifiers. Invite people by email, each with a role, so subbies only see the jobs they're assigned to.

Does it work on the phone? On site with no signal?

Yes. Footing installs straight from your phone's browser, no app store. Your crew can clock on, take photos, fill out forms, and sign off jobs even with no signal. Everything syncs the second they're back in range.

Does it handle GST, ABN and BAS properly?

Yes. GST goes on every line automatically. ABN lookups validate against the ABR. Invoice numbering, BAS-friendly exports, AU date formats, AUD everywhere. Built in Australia for Australian builders.

Is Footing a project management tool?

No. Project management tools run the schedule and the tasks. Footing is the operating system for the business: every job, claim, subbie, induction and dollar on one record, with the accounts talking to the job and site and office on the same numbers. The schedule is in there, so is job cost, subbie claims, retention, safety, the client portal and the claim itself. You run the business from it, not just the program.

Does Footing catch variations and chase the subbies for me?

That's Rory, our other product: a contract administrator in software that sits on top of Footing (or AroFlo or Buildxact) and watches the inbox and drawings. Footing holds the record; Rory makes sure nothing slips around it. Rory is on trial and not on sale yet; see getrory.com.au.

Who's behind Footing?

Folkware, a small studio in Adelaide. We got tired of paying $55 a head for software that still lost variations, so we built our own. Footing is the product; Folkware is the shop. We're Australian owned — most of the big platforms aren't.
