Quotes when it should.

It knows a safety switch replacement is not a switchboard upgrade. It knows an apartment EV charger needs a site visit before quoting. It knows 10 downlights should not be priced the same as 2. It remembers what the customer already said, so it never asks the same question twice.

Bricko's Electrical - AI
Jessica in Brunswick, need 6 downlights replaced in my lounge
ON THE TOOLS AI
Hey Jessica! Brunswick is right in our area. Are these replacing existing downlights, or new holes to be cut?
Replacing existing ones
ON THE TOOLS AI
Got it. Is there easy roof access above the lounge, like a roof cavity or attic?
Yes roof access is fine
ON THE TOOLS AI
Perfect. Based on 6 existing downlights with standard access, here is your estimate: $210 to $540 for call-out and labour. Parts and materials are additional. It should take around 1 hour 30 minutes. Want to lock in a time?

“Most tradies don't lose work because they're bad at the trade. They lose it because they're on a roof, under a sink, in a switchboard, or driving between jobs when the phone rings.”

We built On The Tools because tradies don't need another app. They need the phone to stop costing them jobs.
