The October Update

Team plans, a deck drawing board, a full concrete estimator and more than a dozen other improvements.

Coming October
New

Pro+ team plan

Invite your crew. They see the jobs and tasks assigned to them, tick off work and leave site notes, and you see every update on your dashboard.

New

Deck drawing board

Draw your deck's real shape (L-shapes, bays, wrap-arounds) by tapping the corners and typing each side's length. BOB prices joists, bearers, stumps and decking from the actual shape, not a rectangle. Mark which sides meet the house and which are open, and balustrade and fascia are priced to match.

New

Concrete estimator

Full job pricing for garage slabs, footings and waffle pod slabs: mesh, bar, formwork, pump hire and finishing.

Estimating

Estimate templates

Save any Custom Estimate as a template and start your next similar job in one tap. Six ready-made starters are included: Bedroom refresh, Bathroom + Laundry, Kitchen renovation, Deck + Retaining wall, Plaster patch and paint, and a Handyman repairs list.

Kitchen and laundry expansion

Cabinetry by the unit, benchtops priced the way fabricators quote, appliances and circuits, and PC items.

Quick-fill from room size

Enter a room's length, width and height once, and BOB fills in floor area, wall area (less doors and windows), ceiling, skirting and cornice for you.

More decking materials

Jarrah, Ironbark, treated pine and more composite brands. New sub-floor options include LVL, steel and aluminium frames, adjustable piers and pedestals. BOB suggests the right system for low decks close to the ground.

Up-to-date material prices

BOB's default prices have been checked against current supplier prices. Your own rates are never changed.

Your details, on every quote and email

Add your name, mobile, email and licence or ABN once. They print on your PDF quotes and sign off every email you send to clients.

Calculators

Calculator refresh

  • Every formula re-checked.
  • One clean look across all the calculators, in light and dark mode.
  • Pinch-to-zoom on the drawings.
  • The Concrete calculator now adds waste and works out the cost from your supplier's price per m³.

Dashboard & calendar

Calendar redesign

Clearer job tiles, your crew on each booking, a "now" line and the weather on each day.

To-do list with reminders

Quick-add jobs to remember right from the dashboard, tick them off, and set a reminder for any of them.

Quick buttons on the dashboard

Your four most-used estimators and calculators sit right under your logo, one tap each, and you can choose your own.

Reminders that take you to the day

Tap a morning or afternoon reminder to jump straight to that day in your calendar, and jot a note for any day.

Look, account & devices

A fresh BOB look

A new BOB logo, an animated opening screen and a new loading animation.

Saved rows on every device

Your saved Custom Estimate rows now follow you to a new phone or computer.

See the devices on your account

Check which phones and computers are signed in to your account, and remove any you don't recognise.

Fixes and polish

  • Expenses you delete stay deleted.
  • Deck stump rates start from the correct per-metre defaults.
  • Several small crashes when closing pop-up boxes are fixed.
  • Deleting your account now removes all your saved data.
