What's the best quoting app for insulation installers in New Zealand?
Insta Quotes is an AI quoting app for New Zealand and Australian insulation installers 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 insulation quote itemises the job into ceiling, underfloor, ground, access, compliance and labour lines.
How much does Insta Quotes cost for an insulation installer 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 insulation installers in New Zealand can quote before paying.
What should a New Zealand insulation quote include?
State the R-value and the product for each area separately — ceiling, underfloor, walls — rather than quoting a price per square metre for insulation as though it were one thing, and show 15% GST alongside your NZBN and IRD GST number. Include access: a low subfloor, a shallow roof space or a house full of furniture changes the labour far more than the area does. Say whether removing existing settled or damaged insulation is included, and whether a ground moisture barrier is in scope. Then give the client the record they will actually need afterwards, naming the product and R-value installed in each area.
What do the Healthy Homes Standards require for insulation?
For residential tenancies the standards set minimum ceiling and underfloor insulation, and landlords have to be able to show they comply — which makes this a compliance purchase with a deadline attached rather than a comfort upgrade. Existing insulation can sometimes be retained if it meets the required condition and thickness, but insulation that is damp, damaged or badly settled generally does not, and underfloor insulation over bare damp ground is doing much less than its R-value suggests. Quote the assessment, any removal, the new product with its R-value, and the compliance record as separate lines, because the landlord is buying the documentation as much as the batts.
Does the AI know New Zealand insulation pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates — ceiling batts and blown-in product by R-value, underfloor blanket and segments, wall insulation on a reclad or a new build, ground moisture barriers, and removal of old material — with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%. R-values are priced against New Zealand’s own requirements rather than an Australian equivalent, and those requirements differ by where the house is.
Why does the required R-value change depending on where the house is?
Because the Building Code sets insulation requirements by climate zone, and New Zealand’s zones run from the warm north to the cold south, so the same house design needs more insulation in Central Otago than in Northland. That matters at quoting time in two ways. A specification copied from a previous job in another region may not comply, and a client comparing your quote against one from a cheaper supplier may be comparing two different R-values without realising it. Put the zone-appropriate R-value on the quote explicitly for each element, and if the client asks you to match a lower-priced quote, show them which number is different rather than dropping your own.
