For tradies

The workshop side of Carcasso — in the full trade view.

Use the full trade view#

Everything on this page is in the full trade view. If you picked “Renovating my home” at sign-up, switch with More tools → Switch to full trade view.

My rates — coming soon#

Coming soon

Quoting from your own rates — board per sheet, edge tape, hardware, labour, delivery and your margin — is coming soon. Until it is, Carcasso shows no prices anywhere: not in the app, not on a share link and not on a PDF.

The live quote — coming soon#

Coming soon

A live quote card on the canvas, and a total with GST on the client's share link, are coming soon.

Door & drawer schedule and sheet count#

Output → Door & drawer schedule: every cabinet with its wall, width, doors, style, colour, handle and drawers, plus a hardware list (runners, fixings, handles, accessories) and a rough sheet count for each board. Press Print / PDF for the bench. Bathroom rooms add tiling take-off settings.

The sheet count also sits on the canvas (Rough quantities). It is worked out from the parts as you drew them, so it follows every size you enter — an area estimate with a nesting allowance, not a cut plan, so check it with your supplier before ordering.

Cabinet labels & cut list — coming soon#

Coming soon

The cut list — the printed sheet, the CSV, cabinet and part labels — is coming soon. Until then, every size you enter shows on the plan, the elevations and in the Inspector, and the door & drawer schedule gives the sheet count.

Part DXF — coming soon#

Coming soon

One layered DXF per panel is coming soon. Part DXF files have not yet been validated in any CAM package — test one part on your machine before you run a job once they arrive.

Supplier part-list formats — coming soon#

Coming soon

Part lists in the format your cut-to-size supplier or optimiser wants (column order, delimiter, edge codes, units, grain notation) are coming soon, with the cut list.

Sheet nesting — coming soon#

Coming soon

Laying the drawn parts out on sheets — kerf, edge trim, grain lock and nest-order labels — is coming soon. The rough sheet count per board is live now: see Door & drawer schedule and sheet count.

Approvals (invoices coming soon)#

Output → Approval shows whether your client approved the shared design (and which revision), their comments and your replies.

Coming soon

Raising invoices off the approved revision — deposit and progress claims, variations and tax invoices with GST — is coming soon as a separate paid plan or add-on, not part of Pro.

GST or no GST#

Tick Registered for GST in Settings → Business profile to record whether you are registered. It will set GST on quotes and invoices when those arrive (coming soon).

Your business on every PDF#

Settings → Business profile: business name, ABN, phone, email and logo (PNG or JPG, up to 500 KB). The logo prints top-left on your PDFs and your details top-right. Press Save settings.
