Build management software · Queensland builders
Kindra Build is the app that captures the variation on site, gets it signed before the work starts, and keeps the stage locked until it is.
What it actually costs
Client changes something on site, everyone agrees, nobody writes it up until the claim — and then it's a conversation. QBCC calls this one of the most common causes of serious building disputes.
One QCAT dispute · five figures, eighteen months
Consumer Building Guide before signing. Contract copy inside five business days. Commencement Notice inside ten. Most builders know these. Very few can prove they did them on a job from eighteen months ago.
Fines and demerit points against the licence
Steady turnover, one big fit-out pushes you over, slow debtors drag the current ratio under 1. By annual reporting you've breached two MFR tests — while the business felt profitable with a strong pipeline.
That's a licence problem, not an accounting one
The bit that closes it
Walk off the job, hold the button, and talk like you'd talk to your foreman.
“Client wants the island bench moved 400 and an extra double GPO, and she's asked about tiling the laundry as well.”

The product, in one idea
Base, frame, enclosed, fixing, practical completion. Every job is a ladder — and a rung will not go live while it holds an unsigned variation.
It converts a legal obligation into a workflow constraint. It annoys a super once. A QCAT dispute annoys them for eighteen months — and there's a one-tap urgent path that records the statutory defence while you're still standing there.
Your ratio, tonight
Computed nightly from Xero. Indicative — confirm with your accountant.
Nothing hidden
The whole system, not a teaser. Sixteen desktop screens for the office and six phone screens for site and for your client. Click any one to see it full size.
What it does for you
Before the work starts, because the work won't start otherwise.
The same send that gets the signature delivers the copy and timestamps it.
Stage plus signed variations less retention. No rebuilding it in a spreadsheet.
QBCC licence and insurance checked nightly against the trade they're booked on.
Nightly from Xero, with a plain-English note on why it moved.
They can see the stage, the approved variations and the defects themselves.
How we work
This isn't a subscription you bend yourself to fit. We sit down, work out where your money and time actually leak, and build the system to match how you already run.
Fair questions
Good — keep it. Buildxact does your takeoff better than anyone. We read your estimates in and take it from contract to final claim. That's the half it doesn't do.
She does. So how does she find out about a variation that was agreed on site at 2pm?
It annoys them once. A QCAT dispute annoys them for eighteen months. And there's a one-tap urgent path that records why writing wasn't practicable — which is the statutory defence.
He still does. This just means he isn't discovering the breach in March.
Probably not. This is built for companies turning over roughly $1M–$10M with 2–15 staff plus subbies. If you need Procore, you're also not the customer.
It's the tool we use inside a free 20-minute meeting when the drag looks like money walking out the door — missed variations, slow claims, unpaid stages. Leak Check is one instrument, not the whole Kindra offer. Book at kindraai.dev/book.
Yes — a free 20-minute meeting. Locked at 20 minutes. We call it a meeting, not a sales call. Real win = the meeting gets held.
Even if we never work together, you walk away knowing where the time and money go, what's worth fixing, and what isn't. Findings stay yours. About 40% don't lead to a proposal.
Book at kindraai.dev/book, ring 0403 475 099, or email hello@kindraai.dev with one annoying job. No prep required.
For builders it's often variations not written down, progress claims that stall, and stages that unlock before they're paid. We map that flow in the meeting when revenue is leaking.
The next step
If the answer is “I'd have to ask my accountant”, that's the conversation. Twenty minutes, no charge, and you get a written summary of where the leaks are whether you work with us or not.
