The six problems we solve
If one of these is your week, StandardsMate was built for it.
You're on the ladder, the builder wants to know if the clearance is right, and the group chat has three answers. The standard is a PDF on a laptop in the ute.
Rules: your mate answers, with the clause where one applies.A 32 A charger on a 40 m run in conduit. You know the method. You don't have fifteen minutes to do it by hand, and the inspector doesn't accept a guess.
Calculators: run it, print the working.It's 6:40 am, the supervisor wants a SWMS before you're on site, and the one on your phone is from a job in March.
Paperwork: a SWMS from one sentence.Priced at the kitchen table, accepted on Tuesday, invoiced the following Sunday, chased for six weeks.
Quotes and Invoices: priced on site, chased after.A homeowner messaged at 9 pm. You saw it Thursday. They'd booked someone else.
Quotes: the enquiry lands as a job, filled in.A CCEW in NSW, a COES in Victoria, a different form again in Queensland, and you've worked in two of them this year.
