Plan the set-out

Type or draw the room, pick the tile and the surfaces, and the planner finds the start point that leaves no slivers — then counts the cuts and the boxes.

Floor and wall set-out with the start rule you choose: auto (no slivers), tile or joint centred, full tile at either end, or on a datum
Full and cut tiles, the smallest cut, rows and grout-joint metres, with a printable set-out sheet kept on the job
Offcut reuse and whole boxes from the box label, plus your spare percentage
Levelling calculator: area and depth → bags of self-levelling compound from its coverage, with the source named

Toolie tile set-out of a bathroom floor in 600 by 300 tiles with a 2 mm joint: 15 full, 20 cut, smallest cut 294 mm, 7 rows, 5.46 square metres net, 23.9 lm of grout joints, first and last cuts 396 mm — **No slivers.** 15 full tiles and 20 cuts, the smallest 294 mm, 7 rows over 5.46 m² — set out 1000 mm from the left, with 396 mm cuts at each end.

Toolie tile boxes: 1.44 square metres per box, 10% spare, 35 tiles needed, 5 boxes, 7.2 square metres to order for 5.46 square metres net — **Whole boxes.** 1.44 m² a box and 10% spare → 35 tiles, 5 boxes, 7.2 m² to order.

Toolie levelling calculator with ARDEX K 15 at CF 12: 18 square metres at 4 mm average gives 6 bags plus 10% spare, 7 bags, 72 litres, 140 kg — **Bags, not guesses.** 18 m² × 4 mm ÷ CF 12 = 6 bags + 10% spare → 7 bags of ARDEX K 15, with the coverage source shown.

A waterproofing record with photo proof, per job

Wet-area tiling needs a waterproof membrane behind and under the shower with water-stops under NZBC E3 Internal Moisture and E3/AS2, and with AS 3740 as the widely used good-practice benchmark. Toolie keeps a per-job waterproofing compliance record — membrane product, batch and photos — ready to hand to the BCA.

Quote per m² with cutting and waterproofing built in

Build a per-m² quote on site that accounts for cutting complexity, adhesive and grout consumption, and waterproofing to the membrane height your system and AS 3740 good practice call for, then let the client accept it online from email. This is where tilers under-quote — Toolie makes those lines explicit.

Capture variations before they cost you

Record scope changes and extra work as you find them, so a fixed per-m² job doesn’t quietly lose money on the hard cuts and the extra prep.

GST invoicing that syncs to Xero

Send GST-compliant invoices from your phone and sync straight to Xero or MYOB — no double-handling, no year-end scramble.

Timesheets and per-job profit

Capture crew hours on site and see which tiling jobs actually made money, so you can quote the next bathroom right.

One flat price for your whole crew — and a demo before you sign up

Toolie is flat: Solo $49, Duo $89, Crew $129, Pro $249 (NZD ex-GST) — add the whole crew free, not per user. 14-day free trial, no credit card, no lock-in. And you can quote a real job on the demo before you ever create an account.

NZ compliance guide

Tile Waterproofing NZ: AS 3740, E3/AS2 & Flood Tests — Is AS 3740 required for NZ shower waterproofing? What E3/AS2 and the WMAI code say about membrane heights, flood tests and records a tiler should keep.

Common questions

Can I keep a waterproofing compliance record in the app?

Yes. Toolie records the membrane product, batch and photos per wet-area job against NZBC E3 and AS 3740 good practice, giving you the photo-backed proof the BCA wants for sign-off.

How do I quote a tiling job in NZ?

Build a per-m² quote on site with cutting complexity, adhesive/grout and waterproofing as explicit lines, then send it for online acceptance — so you’re not under-quoting the parts that eat margin.

Do tilers need to be licensed in NZ?

Tiling itself isn’t an LBP licence class, but wet-area waterproofing must meet Building Code clause E3 (AS 3740 is the recommended good-practice benchmark). Toolie helps you record that compliance and your installer competency on your quotes.

Can I send tiling invoices from my phone?

Yes. Toolie sends GST-compliant invoices from site and syncs to Xero or MYOB, so there’s no re-keying and no double-handling.

How much does tiling 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 like Tradify. 14-day trial, no card.
