About
A trusted site foreman, not a CRM.
SmartM8 is job management software for small Australian residential renovation builders. One app that shows every job, every margin and every trade on one page — so the business runs on something sturdier than a spreadsheet and your memory.
Built and operated by AI unafraid Pty Ltd
Why we built it
Million-dollar pipelines, run from spreadsheets
Most renovation builders doing $500k–$2M a year run the whole operation from a quoting tool, a job app, a spreadsheet and a head full of dates. Each one holds a piece. None of them holds the business.
Quoting eats your nights
Ten hours a week pricing jobs after dinner, rebuilding the same bathroom quote from scratch every time.
“Do I have a trade on site tomorrow?”
The question that matters most takes three apps and a phone call to answer — and a missed answer means a site sitting idle.
Missed jobs are lost money
Leads that never got a follow-up, variations that never got invoiced, contractor pay that turns into a Friday-night scramble.
What it is
One page that shows the whole business
SmartM8 replaces ServiceM8, BuildXact and the spreadsheets with one mobile-first app, synced with Xero.
- A dashboard that answers the daily questions: what needs doing, who’s on site, which jobs are making money.
- Quotes built from recipes — AI drafts from your dictated scope, you check the numbers and hit send.
- Scheduling, purchase orders and client messages tied to the job, not scattered across texts and email.
- A weekly contractor pay run that ends as bills in your Xero — SmartM8 never holds money or bank details.
The AI drafts; you approve. Nothing goes to a client or a trade without you saying so.
