Is Toolie really all-in-one?

Yes — quoting and estimating, jobs and scheduling, 16 builder calculators, timesheets, inspections, maintenance, NZ contracts and compliance, a crew portal, health & safety, invoicing with GST, retentions and Xero sync, all in one flat-priced app.

Can I get the features as a PDF?

Yes — download the Toolie feature and user guide (PDF) from this page; the same content is on the site so search engines and screen readers can read it too.

What is unique to Toolie vs other builder apps?

The NZ Building Code is built in, not bolted on: automatic NZS 3604 take-off, H1 and Healthy Homes, CCA 2002 retentions, consent intelligence with the clause cited, NZ contracts and LBP Records of Work — for one flat price.
