5Everything You Need
Forget clunky desktop software. OneBookPlus is the roofing business app designed for crews who spend their days on a ladder — not in an office.
Capture roof inspections on your phone — drone shots, ridge cap close-ups, gutter rust, broken tiles. Build a branded PDF report with photos and recommendations the homeowner can actually understand.
Build itemised quotes the way roofers actually price work — full re-roofs by m², ridge repointing per linear metre, gutter replacement per metre, individual tile repairs by count. GST calculated automatically.
Tag leak emergencies as urgent and scheduled restorations as standard. SLA reminders flag overdue callouts and ageing repointing jobs so nothing slips while you're up on a roof somewhere.
Every invoice automatically calculates 10% GST and displays your ABN and roofing licence number. Export GST summaries at BAS time — your accountant will thank you.
See your entire week — re-roofs, ridge repointing, gutter replacements, leak callouts. Assign jobs to your crew and track progress from Quoted through to Invoiced. Reschedule rain days in one tap.
Log tiles, ridge mortar, Colorbond sheets, gutters, and skip hire against each job. Snap receipt photos from Bristile, BlueScope, or Stratco — and track tip fees so you know exactly how profitable every roof really is.
Track your 90-day quote conversion rate. See week-over-week revenue trends so you know if your pipeline is growing or tightening before it becomes a cash flow problem.
Every roof you've worked on, every gutter you've cleaned. Set automated reminders for return work — annual gutter cleans, repointing inspections, leak warranty checks. Past customers are your easiest next sale.
Let homeowners book a free roof inspection or quote site visit through your branded booking page. Available slots sync with your calendar — no more phone tag, no double-bookings.

Once accepted, the job drops into your calendar. Assign your crew, track time on-site, log materials used, snap drone or roof photos, and document any extra work discovered up there.
Convert the quote to a GST-compliant invoice with one tap. Send it to the customer before you've packed up the ladder and Colorbond off-cuts.
Customers pay online via the invoice link. Automated reminders chase overdue payments so you can focus on the next roof, not debt collection.

About the author
Founder & CEO, OneBookPlus
Bishal has over a decade of experience in digital marketing, web development, and small business consulting across Australia. He has worked directly with Australian roofing businesses — tile, metal/Colorbond, restoration specialists — helping them streamline quoting, scheduling, and emergency callouts.
Running a roofing business in Australia means juggling more admin than most roofers signed up for. You're quoting tile repairs from a ladder, pricing Colorbond re-roofs by the m², chasing leak callouts after every storm, and then coming home to reconcile ServiceM8 jobs against Xero invoices. Many roofers pay $49/month for ServiceM8, $35/month for Xero, and another $12–27/month for a booking page and CRM — yet none of these tools were designed for how a roofing crew actually works. You end up double-entering data, losing drone photos in WhatsApp threads, and spending Sunday afternoons on BAS prep instead of resting your knees.
OneBookPlus replaces that patchwork with one platform built for how Australian roofers actually work. Build itemised quotes mixing m² pricing for re-roofs, linear metre pricing for ridge repointing and gutters, and per-item pricing for tile repairs and skylights — all from your phone on the roof. Attach drone photos and inspection reports directly to the job record. Convert accepted quotes to GST-compliant invoices with a single tap — your ABN and roofing licence number printed on every document. Track expenses against each job so you know your true margin after tip fees, scaffold hire, and crew labour. And when BAS time rolls around, your GST summary is already waiting.
It's 6:30am and your phone buzzes — an emergency leak callout through your OneBookPlus booking page. Storm last night, water coming through a Glenelg ceiling. The job is auto-tagged urgent on your job board. You head out. On the roof you find three cracked tiles around a chimney flashing and you build a quote on your phone: $220 labour including emergency rate, $80 for replacement tiles and lead flashing, GST calculated automatically. The homeowner accepts on the spot via the quote link. Job done by 8am. You snap drone photos of the repaired chimney, attach them to the job record, and convert the quote to an invoice before you're back in the ute. Your week view shows a ridge repointing at 10am and a Colorbond gutter quote at 2pm. Your apprentice has two inspection appointments and can see his schedule on his own device.
Connect your business bank account via CDR Open Banking and OneBookPlus pulls in transactions daily. When the Glenelg customer pays that emergency callout invoice, the payment is automatically matched against the outstanding amount — no manual reconciliation needed. Purchases from Bristile, BlueScope/Lysaght, or Stratco are categorised as materials expenses. Tip fees and skip hire go to disposal costs. Our AI categorisation engine learns your patterns: ute fuel goes to vehicle expenses, scaffolding hire to job costs, harness and PPE purchases to safety. Come BAS time, your GST collected on sales and GST paid on purchases are already tallied. Export the summary in one click and forward it to your accountant — or lodge it yourself in minutes.
Sign up free — no credit card, no lock-in contract. Select “Roofer” as your business type and OneBookPlus pre-configures your account with roofing service categories, typical job durations, and invoice templates that include your licence number. Import your customer list via CSV from ServiceM8, Tradify, or a spreadsheet. Connect your bank account through the secure Open Banking flow. Most roofers have their first quote sent within 30 minutes of signing up, and their bank feed categorising transactions by the end of the first week. The switch from ServiceM8 and Xero typically takes a single evening.

Australian roofers work under state residential-building licensing, national work-at-heights regulations, the building & construction award, and Australian Consumer Law. We cite the primary bodies for the claims on this page so you can verify them directly.

Real-world scenario
How an Adelaide roofer uses OneBookPlus on a typical Wednesday
Brad starts his day checking the week view — a tile repair callout in Glenelg, a ridge repointing job in Norwood, and a Colorbond gutter quote in Burnside. His apprentice Tyler has two roof inspections assigned.
The Glenelg callout came in overnight as an urgent leak through the OneBookPlus booking page. Brad heads there first. On the roof he finds three cracked tiles around a chimney flashing. He builds a quote on his phone: $180 labour, $45 for replacement tiles and lead flashing, GST included automatically. The homeowner accepts the quote link before Brad's even back on the ladder. Job done by 9:30am, invoice sent before he drives off.
Mid-morning he runs the Norwood ridge repointing — 18 linear metres at $95/m, plus $260 for cement and ridge tiles. He snaps drone shots before and after, attaches them to the job record, and converts the quote to an invoice that afternoon.
The Burnside gutter quote is a bigger one — full Colorbond gutter and downpipe replacement on a heritage two-storey. Brad uses the drone to photograph the rusted cast-iron gutters, builds a detailed quote with materials from Stratco, labour by linear metre, scaffold hire, and tip fees. He sends a branded inspection report PDF with the photos and the quote link. The homeowner accepts that evening.
End of day: 3 jobs touched, $4,800 invoiced, two payments already received. Materials from Bristile and Stratco logged with receipt photos. Brad's dashboard shows his quote win rate at 68% — up since he started attaching drone photos to every quote. Come BAS time, his GST summary exports in one click.
