Why carpenters join
Most carpenters lose money on bad pricing, slow payments and missing paperwork — not on the tools. Membership fixes the business side so the trade pays you back.
Rate calculators and live market benchmarks tell you exactly what you should be charging or earning — no more underquoting yourself.
Quotes, invoices, variations, SWMS and contracts — ready-to-use templates that protect you on every job and make you look professional.
Priority access to local job leads, plus the systems to quote, deliver and get paid — so you grow margin, not just hours.

From the tools
“The rate calculator showed me I was charging $18/hr under the market. First quote after joining covered my whole year’s membership.”
“Quotes and SWMS used to eat my weekends. Now it’s templates. I look more professional and I win more jobs.”
“The business audit found where we were bleeding cash on labour. Fixed it in a month. Best $670 I’ve spent on the business.”
Try any paid membership for 30 days. If the tools don't deliver a practical win you can use on a real job, email us and we'll make it right. Free levels stay free, forever — no card required.

Still an apprentice? Start with Apprentice (free). Qualified and working for yourself or a subbie? Registered (free) shows your value, then Qualified gets your paperwork sorted. Want to lift profit and get paid faster? Professional. Running a team or growing a business? Enterprise.
Yes. Apprentice and Registered are free with no card required and no expiry. You can upgrade to a paid level whenever you're ready.
