Poolified Pro

Run the job properly.
Not out of a text thread.

Project management built specifically for pool builds — selections, variations, progress claims, handover and a client portal. Included in your Poolified plan, not sold separately.

30 days free, no card required. Then $399/month inc. GST — around half what generic construction software charges to walk in the door.

Most pool builders run selections in a spreadsheet, variations over text message, and progress claims from memory. It works right up until it doesn't — a client swears they never agreed to the upgrade, a PC item gets billed at the wrong allowance, or a weather delay can't be substantiated because nobody wrote it down. The generic construction software that fixes this was built for house builders and costs more than most pool builders will pay.

Built for how a pool actually gets built

Not a general contractor tool with “pool” in the dropdown. The phases, the compliance rules and the money maths are all specific to this trade.

Selections that understand PC items
Included choices, prime cost allowances and extra-over upgrades are three different things, and each one does something different to the contract price. Generic software treats them all as a line item. This doesn't.
Variations the client actually signs
An upgrade raises a formal variation with the cost broken out — what was in contract, what they chose, the difference, your margin. Nothing proceeds until it is signed, because a verbal agreement generally is not recoverable.
Progress claims tied to real stages
Payment stages unlock when the schedule phase completes. Deposit caps are enforced by state, because they are legislated and different everywhere. Approved variations roll into the next claim automatically.
A client portal they will actually use
One decision at a time, in plain language, no account to create. The link is the login. Clients confirm their own selections instead of you chasing them by text for three weeks.
Site log that stands up later
Daily entries with weather recorded as a flag, not buried in notes. Weather days you did not record are weather days you cannot claim when you need an extension of time.
Warranty register instead of retention
We hold no retention, so your final claim is the full stage amount. Every warranty lives in one place instead — yours, your suppliers, and anything the client bought themselves. Still there in four years when someone asks.

Why not just use the big platforms?

You can, and plenty of builders do. Here's the honest difference.

Brings you workNoOptional — add briefs to your plan

If you build houses as well as pools, a general platform may genuinely suit you better — we'd rather say that than have you switch and regret it. This is for builders whose work is mostly pools.

Want the work as well as the software?

Pro stands on its own — plenty of builders have enough work and just want to run it properly. But if you do want briefs, adding them to your plan costs a fraction of what a lead costs anywhere else, because you're already a customer.
