01 / The shitshow all trades know

Crew’s on site.
Materials aren’t.
The job stops, and you cop the bill.

Jobs slip on materials

One missed order. One Tuesday. Across the two jobs you’re juggling, those costs add up without their own P&L line, because they show up as “just the way it goes.”

  • 06:12Framer rolls in. Pack of F17 90×45 didn’t show. Yard reckons it’s on tomorrow’s truck.
  • 06:40Foreman rings another yard. Quoted 18% over contract rate. + $1,180
  • 07:30Apprentice does a Bunnings run for stop-gap lengths. + $240 fuel/labour
  • 09:50Crew stands down ninety minutes. Coffees and scrolling. + $620
  • 13:00Sparky pushes Friday → Tuesday. Variation invoice incoming. + $1,230
  • MonPlasterer slips a week. Client emails the builder. Job ends three days late. LDs back on the table. + $1,730

02 / Why it keeps happening

Mate, it's not your fault.

You’re running two jobs, a crew and a phone that never stops.
Ordering on time means holding dozens of lead times in your head for every supplier and every phase, all while you’re flat out on the tools.
Nobody can keep all of that straight, so eventually an order slips.
That’s not on you, it’s on a system that was never built for the way trades actually work.

I lose a full day a week just building shopping lists. There’s another job sitting there waiting and I haven’t got the headspace to take it on.

Every tool I’ve tried has way too much going on. I’m a tradie, not a computer wizard. End up back on the phone every time.

03 / How it works

Gary tells you when to order
before the job slips.

  • →Set up your job - connect your schedule, or we build one from your quote PDF
  • →Order triggered - Gary pings you the day you should actually be ordering
  • →PO approval - supplier confirms stock + price, you approve with one tap (live pricing to come!)
  • →Reconfirm quantities - two days out, Gary asks “still right?” before the truck loads
  • →Raise a variation - client approves on their phone before the order leaves the yard

Gary turns a quote into a delivery schedule.

Connect your Job Management System. Or upload your quote and Gantt. Gary reads the scope, infers the build sequence, and works out when to order every phase.

  • Snap a photo or upload your quote, or connect your Job Management System.
  • Gary auto-generates the full materials list, every line, every phase. No typing.
  • The trade reviews and confirms. Schedule is live from there.

04 / Built for your trade

If your day starts on a ute and ends covered in dust, this is for you.

Different trades, same problem. Here’s what changes for you.

Builders & site supers

Stop being the human Gantt chart. Gary watches when every trade needs ordering and tells you what’s coming up across all your live jobs.

  • Multi-job view, every live job, one notification feed. No more “which site was that for?”
  • Your preferred supplier. Order with the yard you already use, or we can help you find one. Gary respects your negotiated rates.
  • One-tap approval. No portals, no logins, no PO numbers to chase.
Opens February 2027.

Carpenters & chippies

Frame, fix, finish. Three phases that each have a different lead time. Gary helps you order the right ply from your preferred supplier, who confirms availability.

  • F17, MGP10, LVL. Gary reads your quote, you confirm quantities.
  • Stop the Bunnings runs. Stop-gap lengths at retail are the silent margin killer. Gary catches it Friday.
  • Supplier-confirmed stock. Your preferred yard confirms availability before you approve the order.
Opens February 2027.

Landscapers

Sand, soil, turf, pavers, retaining timber, irrigation. A dozen suppliers and weather that ruins everything. Gary handles the timing.

  • Weather-aware ordering is planned. At launch, you review delivery timing with your supplier when the forecast changes.
  • Bulk + delivery windows. Soil pours and skip swaps slotted around the crew, not the other way round.
  • Supplier-confirmed availability. Your preferred nursery confirms stock before you approve. Live stock checks are planned.
Opens February 2027.
06 / Fair questions

The bit before you sign up.

What does it cost?+
First 2 weeks is on us, no limit on jobs, users or orders. Contact us directly to become part of Gary's OG for an early-access deal. Pricing will be released prior to our Feb 2027 launch.
Do I have to use a specific yard?+
Nope. Gary works with your existing contracts and yards first - whatever rates you’ve already negotiated, Gary respects. Use your preferred supplier, or we can help you find one. The call is always yours. We’re not anyone’s salesperson.
What if I don’t use scheduling software?+
You don’t need to. Upload a quote PDF, a Gantt printout, sketch it on a serviette and send it to Lucy, or use our scheduling tool in-app. Gary infers the build sequence from there. Five-minute setup.
Where does my data go?+
Hosted in Australia, on AWS Sydney. Your job pricing is yours, we never share it with suppliers, never use it to train anything, and you can export and delete it any time. We’re a small Australian company, not a data broker.
When can I actually use it?+
Nice Gary opens to builders, carpenters and landscapers in February 2027. Get on the list and we’ll be in touch about your spot.
Who’s building this?+
Three Legendary Aussies that have smarts, the means and are (literally) married to the problem. We’ve spent the last six months on sites with builders, carpenters and landscapers across NSW and VIC. Email Lucy at lucy@nicegary.com.au if you want to chat before signing up.
