See past releases

This week, we're bringing you a brand new task view, enhancements to quotes for Pros, and more.

New Task View: Gantt Chart

App: Build Buddy

This new menu option allows users to see a complete timeline of tasks for their home build in a format similar to the popular Gantt chart style. This provides a clear and organised visual representation of the project schedule.

  • Tasks are grouped into their project stages. These stages can be collapsed or expanded.
  • 'Recentre' button takes you to the task on today's date, or the next available task if there isn't a task for today.
  • Pop-up with task details appears when a task is clicked.
  • Lines indicate task dependencies and relationships. Lines can be clicked to automatically zoom your view to the linked task.

Enhancements to Quotes

App: Build Buddy Pro

As key partners in our Pro network, we're dedicated to improving your experience with the Build Buddy Pro platform. We’re pleased to improve our quoting feature, which now allows you to edit quotes for jobs that you have already submitted, before the owner (client) has accepted or declined it. This enhancement offers greater flexibility and ensures precision in the quoting process. 

Release 202408 - Edit Quotes

Updated Contract Terms

App: Build Buddy and Build Buddy Pro

We’ve updated the Standard Terms for NSW and QLD contracts generated through the app. These revisions ensure that all contracts meet the latest regulatory requirements and provide clearer terms for a smoother contract creation process.
