From the paperwork a window job needs, to a priced quote, a pane-by-pane schedule that asks the human-impact questions instead of assuming them, and the safety glass record you hand over — in the order you’d use it.

Every screen here is the real Toolie app running a made-up demo business — the clients and addresses are invented, the screens are real.

Quote the glazing

Pick from glazier job types — pane and door-glass replacement, shower screens, glass balustrades, new windows, skylights, commercial shopfronts, mirrors — and enter the panes.

The human-impact question must be answered: until it is, the glass is priced as safety glass and the record stays on the job
Single, double-glazed or Low-E argon units, with a safety-glass IGU where the location needs one
Window-to-framing air seal (backing rod and sealant) and setting blocks added from the size and count
Labour hours from per-task norms — set-up, each window, large panes, upper floors — shown so you can see where the hours come from
A glazier pricebook you fill with your processor’s prices; lines without a price are flagged until you set one

Toolie glazier auto takeoff: 4 windows, 1800 by 2100 mm, DGU Low-E argon, critical location answered yes for safety glass — **Answer the question first.** 4 windows at 1800 × 2100 mm in Low-E argon units, marked as a human-impact critical location — so the takeoff uses safety-glass IGUs.

Toolie glazier materials: safety IGU toughened Low-E argon at $340 per m2 entered by the glazier, setting blocks, backing rod and PU sealant, with 20.1 labour hours — **Your processor’s price, your lines.** The toughened Low-E IGU priced at the $340/m² you enter, plus setting blocks and the air seal — and 20.1 hours of labour from the task norms.

Toolie glazier quote totals: materials $4,719.42, labour $1,849.20 at 20.1 hours and $92 an hour, 15% markup $707.91, GST $1,091.48, total $8,368.01 — **Priced and ready to send.** 20.1 hours at $92, materials $4,719.42 plus markup and GST: **$8,368.01**.

Consent, LBP and H1

Every job type shows the records it needs and the law behind them.

Safety glass installation record for human-impact critical locations (NZBC F2 — F2/AS1 citing NZS 4223.3:2016)
LBP Record of Work when consented window or door work in a home is restricted building work (Building Act 2004 s 84 and s 88; RBW Order 2011) — not for commercial buildings or like-for-like replacement
Building consent for new or altered openings (Building Act 2004 s 40); like-for-like replacement is generally Schedule 1 exempt — confirm with the BCA
NZBC H1 window record for consented new windows: frame, IGU, WEERS certificate or H1 calculation and the whole-window R-value
Glass balustrades: a barrier height record against F4/AS1 for the building use — Toolie never invents the height

Toolie glazier quote on a phone showing the new window installation job and its records: safety glass record, LBP Record of Work, building consent and H1 window record — **On site, on your phone.** The same job and its four records.

Glazing Schedule

Schedule every pane: size, where it is, the glass make-up, hardware, the wind-load thickness confirmation and the indicative R-value — nothing assumed.

Human-impact questions per pane (NZS 4223.3 via F2/AS1, following the WGANZ decision tree) — a pane can’t be priced until it’s answered
Flags a make-up that isn’t toughened, laminated or a safety-lite IGU where safety glass is required
Glass weight per pane with a lifting flag at your own manual-handling threshold, and hinge capacity against your hardware data for frameless doors
Wind-load thickness confirmation record (NZS 4223.4) with the processor’s reference; ordering is blocked until it’s confirmed, and a request email lists the panes to confirm
Indicative window R-value from the H1/AS1 generic table for the IGU and frame, against the zone minimum — or your WEERS certificate or H1 calculation

Toolie Glazing Schedule human-impact question for pane W1 with the low-level zone selected, and flags that safety glass is required but the make-up is not yet a safety-glass IGU, the 75.6 kg weight and the unconfirmed wind thickness — **Asked, never assumed.** W1 sits in the low-level zone, so safety glass is required — and until the make-up is a safety-lite IGU, the schedule says so in red.

Toolie Glazing Schedule wind and R-value step for the entry sidelight: wind zone H, thickness not yet confirmed, Low E3 argon IGU in a thermally broken aluminium frame giving an indicative R0.46 against a zone minimum of R0.46 — **Wind and H1 on the same row.** The sidelight’s thickness isn’t confirmed for wind yet, so ordering is blocked; its Low-E3 argon unit in thermally broken aluminium is indicatively R0.46 against the R0.46 minimum.

Toolie Glazing Schedule list: W1 lounge 1800 by 2100 times 2 at 94.5 kg, W2 bedroom 1200 by 1200 times 2, S1 entry sidelight, with safety, wind, weight and R-value chips; 5 panes, 11.24 m2, 3 priceable, 2 ready to order — **Every pane at a glance.** 5 panes, 11.24 m²: safety, wind, weight and R-value on each row, the 94.5 kg lounge panes flagged for a two-person lift, and 1 pane waiting on the processor.

Safety glass register

Fill in + issue on the quote opens the safety glass register pre-filled with the client and site; record each pane as you install it.

Glass type, thickness, grade marking seen on the glass and human-impact zone for every pane
Barrier rows with building use, fall height, the F4/AS1 height you enter and the as-installed height
Warnings when a human-impact pane isn’t safety glass or its grade marking isn’t recorded, and when a barrier is lower than required
A printable safety glass and barrier installation record, and CSV export

Printed Toolie safety glass and barrier installation record for a fictional Auckland job: four panes with glass type, thickness, grade marking and human-impact zone, 3 of them in human-impact zones — **The record you hand over.** Four panes recorded, 3 in human-impact zones, each with its safety-glass IGU, 5 mm lites and the grade marking checked.

Toolie glazier registers screen with one glazing record of 4 panes for a fictional Auckland job — **Kept in the register.** Saved from the quote’s *Fill in + issue*, searchable and exportable.

Quote glass by type, area and installation with NZ rates

Glazing pricing depends on glass type (float, toughened, laminated, double-glazed unit), area, frame type, accessibility and travel. Toolie’s NZ glazier pricebook covers float glass, toughened safety glass, laminated safety glass and IGUs per m², plus frame installation, silicone and setting blocks. Override any rate with your supplier pricing.

NZS 4223 safety glazing — critical locations you must get right

NZS 4223 Glazing in Buildings defines critical locations where safety glazing (toughened or laminated to AS/NZS 2208) is mandatory: doors, sidelights, low-level panels, balustrades and areas near bathing facilities. Toolie’s compliance checklist maps NZS 4223 Part 1 critical-location rules to the job scope and flags panels requiring safety glass before the quote goes out. Incorrectly specified glass at a critical location is a building consent issue and a liability risk.

H1 6th edition and double-glazed units for new builds

Under NZ Building Code clause H1 Energy Efficiency (6th edition), windows in new NZ homes must meet minimum glazing R-values by climate zone. Double-glazed units (IGUs) are standard for H1 compliance in most NZ zones. Toolie applies the correct minimum H1 glazing R-value from the address and flags single-glazed specs that don’t meet the requirement.

LBP for structural glazing and curtain wall

Structural glazing — curtain wall, structural silicone, point-fixed glass and glass fins — involves Restricted Building Work under the Building Act 2004 and requires a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) in the relevant category. Toolie’s job setup distinguishes structural from non-structural glazing and carries your LBP number on the Record of Work.

NZ compliance guide

Common questions

Does Toolie include NZ glazing pricing?

Yes. Toolie ships a NZ glazier pricebook covering float, toughened, laminated and IGU glass per m², plus frame installation and silicone. Override with your supplier rates.

How does Toolie apply NZS 4223 critical-location rules?

The compliance checklist maps NZS 4223 Part 1 critical locations — doors, sidelights, low panels, balustrades and wet areas — to the job scope and flags panels requiring safety glass before the quote is sent.

Does Toolie flag H1 double-glazing requirements?

Yes. The site’s climate zone is derived from the address and Toolie applies the correct H1 6th edition glazing R-value, flagging single-glazed specs that don’t meet the requirement.

Is there an NZ-built alternative to Tradify for glaziers?

Yes. Toolie is New Zealand-built, flat-priced for your whole crew, includes NZ glazing pricing, and lets you quote a job before you sign up.

How much does glazier software cost in NZ?

Flat NZD ex-GST: Solo $49, Duo $89, Crew $129, Pro $249 — one price for the whole crew, not per user. 14-day free trial, no credit card, no lock-in.

Does Toolie decide whether glass needs to be safety glass?

No — it asks. Each pane in the Glazing Schedule needs an answer to the human-impact questions (NZS 4223.3 via F2/AS1) before it can be priced, and the quote prices glass as safety glass until you answer. If the location needs safety glass and the make-up isn’t, Toolie flags it.

Does Toolie work out glass thickness for wind?

No. The schedule keeps the wind-load thickness confirmation record (NZS 4223.4): who confirmed it and their reference. Panes stay blocked from ordering until that’s recorded, and Toolie drafts an email to your processor listing the panes to confirm.
