What's the best quoting app for concreters in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for New Zealand and Australian concreters that turns a job description into an itemised, GST-ready quote in under 30 seconds; plans start at $29 AUD a month, billed in AUD even in New Zealand. A sample Insta Quotes concreter quote itemises the job into excavation, basecourse, steel, concrete, pump, finish and labour lines.
How much does Insta Quotes cost for a concreter in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so concreters in New Zealand can quote before paying.
How much should a concreter charge per hour in New Zealand?
Concreter labour, per hour in New Zealand: NZ$65–$95, upper end in Auckland and Queenstown; labour only (source: Made 4 Tradies concreter hourly rate, Sep 2026 (estimate; GST not stated)). Rates vary by city and experience, so in Insta Quotes you set your own hourly rate and every quote is priced from it.
Is there a concreting quote template for New Zealand?
Yes. Our New Zealand concreting quote template guide walks through the layout, from area, thickness and MPa to finish and exclusions. In Insta Quotes the AI fills it in from a description of the pour, priced in NZD with 15% GST as its own line and your GST number in the header, and every plan exports it as a PDF or Word document.
How do I work out the concrete volume on a quote?
Volume is area times thickness, so a 60 m² slab at 100 mm is 6 m³ before waste. Describe the pour and the AI drafts ready-mix, mesh, boxing and labour as separate lines in NZD. Check the quantity it used, add your waste allowance and any pump hire, then send the quote.
How do I quote a concrete driveway in New Zealand?
Measure the area, set the thickness, strength and finish, and check truck or pump access. The AI prices the pour, reinforcing, boxing and labour as separate lines in NZD with 15% GST. Put upgrades such as exposed aggregate or colour as optional extras outside the total, and list site-prep assumptions in the exclusions box.
Can I add optional finishes to a concrete quote?
Yes. Put exposed aggregate, colour, sealing or extra thickness on the quote as optional add-ons. They print in their own section outside the quoted total, in NZD, and the client ticks the ones they want when accepting, so you don't have to reissue the quote for every variation they ask about.
Can a client accept a concreting quote online?
Yes. Email the quote from the app and the client accepts through the link on it, with an optional deposit at acceptance. The accepted quote converts to an invoice in NZD with 15% GST without retyping, and on Tier 2 and Tier 3 a larger job can be billed in progress stages.
