For builders working direct for homeowners

"While you're here, could you just…" Get paid for it.

Extras are where domestic margins disappear: agreed in the kitchen, done on goodwill, argued about at the final bill. VariationFlow runs the whole job from the first quote - accepted online from the client's phone - to the last extra: priced, signed and on the running total, in about a minute each.

Built for homeowner jobs, not just contracts

No standard form, no contract administrator on the other side - just you, the client, and the work. The paperwork matches: plain language, consumer law handled, evidence first.

Quoted, sent, accepted - signed from their phone

Build the quote as line items with tax handled, send it by email or messaging link, and the client accepts by typing their name - timestamped, recorded, done. The accepted quote becomes the job automatically.

Invoices that say how to pay

Your bank details and a pay-online link on every invoice and payment summary. The fastest way to get paid is removing the client's excuse to ask how.

Extras signed at the kitchen table

Describe the extra, price it, and get the client's signature on your phone - photos, time and location attached automatically. A signed extra is the argument won before it starts.

A running total the client can see

Original quote plus agreed extras equals current total - shared as you go. Clients who watched the number move do not get final-bill shock, and final-bill shock is where disputes are born.

Evidence captured before it is covered up

Ready-made checklists photograph the things nobody can inspect later - foundations, damp-proofing, structural steel, insulation - so the inspection and the two-years-later argument are both already won.

Cooling-off on unsolicited agreements, handled

If the agreement came from a door-knock, a phone call or an approach in a public place, it is an unsolicited consumer agreement and the customer has ten business days to cancel for any reason. The agreement has to carry the cancellation notice on its front page. VariationFlow puts it there.

  • Ten business days from the day after the agreement is signed or received
  • The notice must appear on the front page, in the prescribed terms
  • Agreements under $100 are outside the rules however the customer was approached

Three steps, no new habits

1

Quote it, get a signed yes

Line items in, link out. The client accepts from their phone, any notice the law requires goes out automatically, and the job is created from the signed number.

2

Capture extras as they are agreed

Sixty seconds on your phone: what was agreed, the price, photos, the client's signature. Every extra lands on the running total the client can see.

3

Invoice without the argument

Send the client summary - photos, price, running total - with each invoice, and your bank details plus a pay-online link on the paperwork. Signed paper beats a remembered conversation, every time.

Domestic projects are on every plan, including Builder. Working commercial too? Run both from one account - commercial projects keep the full statutory machinery.

The next "while you're here" pays for itself
