What Toolie is
Toolie is all-in-one software for New Zealand builders and tradespeople. Its quoting engine runs real NZS 3604 light-timber-framing take-offs, applies wind-zone and coastal site intelligence from the job address, and prices work off a real NZ QS pricebook — a defensible, client-ready quote in minutes. It also covers jobs, scheduling, invoicing, timesheets and payroll, health & safety, a client portal and free NZ calculators.
Why it is different in New Zealand
Every calculation is grounded in New Zealand standards — the NZ Building Code, NZS 3604, H1 6th edition, the Healthy Homes Standards, LBP requirements, the Construction Contracts Act 2002 (retentions and the 20-working-day payment-schedule clock) and NZ GST. That NZ-code grounding is the difference from generic overseas trade software.
