G'day, and welcome to the SiteScope blog.
We're building this space to share practical, no-BS advice for Australian tradies who are sick of paperwork and want to get paid properly for their work.
Who This Blog Is For
This blog is for tradies who:
- Lose money on variations and extras they forget to bill
- Spend evenings doing paperwork instead of relaxing
- Have had clients dispute what was agreed
- Know there's a better way but haven't found it yet
Whether you're a sparkie, plumber, chippy, or any other trade — if you're frustrated by admin and want to run a smarter business, you're in the right place.
What We'll Cover
We're planning content across a few key areas:
Getting Paid
How to capture every variation, price extras properly, and never do free work again.
Admin & Paperwork
Streamline documentation, reduce evening admin time, and get your paperwork sorted in minutes not hours.
Client Management
Handle expectations, communicate professionally, and avoid disputes before they start.
Business Tips
General advice on running a profitable, sustainable trade business.
Product Updates
New features, improvements, and how to get the most out of SiteScope.

Why We're Doing This
At SiteScope, we're building tools to help tradies capture site work instantly. Record a video, get a work order and contract, have the client sign on your phone, done.
But tools are only part of the solution. The other part is knowledge — understanding how to price work, handle clients, and run a business that actually pays you properly.
This blog is where we share what we've learned from talking to hundreds of tradies across Australia. Real problems, real solutions.
What's Coming Next
We've already got some meaty posts in the works:
- How to Stop Doing Free Work — The real cost of "just quickly" and how to capture extras in 30 seconds
- The Complete Variation Management Guide — Everything you need to know about VOs and getting them right
- Pricing Extras on the Spot — Quick frameworks for quoting extras without underselling yourself
We'll be publishing weekly, so check back or follow us on socials to stay in the loop.
