Customise Xero for Construction business

We are a construction business based in the Illawarra region, NSW (Australia) called Illawarra Bricklaying & Construction.

We are looking for an experienced Xero specialist to fully customise our quoting and invoicing system.

This is NOT basic setup — we want a clean, professional, trade-specific system built that suits how construction jobs actually run.

Scope of work includes:

• Custom Quote Template built inside Xero
• Custom Invoice Template built inside Xero
• Progress claim / staged invoice capability
• Variations / extras structure
• Clear labour vs materials breakdown
• Professional branded layout (construction style)
• Ability to match real job costing structure

We want:

• Quotes that look professional and easy for clients to understand
• Invoices that align with construction payment stages
• A system that is simple for the team to use daily
• Everything built specifically for a bricklaying / construction workflow

Must have experience with:

• Xero template customisation
• Trade or construction business workflows
• Job-based billing

Bonus if familiar with:

• Australian construction industry
• Progress claims / staged payments
• Variations handling

Deliverables:

• Fully built templates inside Xero
• Branding applied
• Ready-to-use system
• Walkthrough on how to use it

Goal is to turn Xero into a practical quoting + invoicing tool for a construction business — not just accounting software.
