❓ ConstructiveOS FAQ

Straight answers about the free tradie toolkit

What's actually free, what needs an account, how GST works, and how AI features are billed.

Is ConstructiveOS really free?
Yes — the core tradie tools (Tradie Invoicing, Roof Pitch Gauge, Roof Area Calculator) are free forever with no signup, and every app's manual features are free on a free account. AI-powered features use top-up credits, your own API keys, or a monthly SpeedyCore AI plan from $5.
What is ConstructiveOS?
A free-first software platform for Australian trades and builders — quoting, invoicing, roof measuring, CAD drafting, colour visualising and job management tools that run in the browser and install on your phone as PWAs. Part of the SpeedyCore platform.
Do the tools work offline on site?
The tools are PWAs — installable to your home screen and built to keep working with patchy coverage. The Movement & Travel tracker is offline-first by design. AI features do need connectivity.
Does ConstructiveOS handle GST and ABNs?
Yes — built for Australian trades: quotes and tax invoices are GST-aware and ATO-friendly, and public tradie profiles can carry ABN details homeowners can verify.
How do I find a local tradie?
Use the Find Trades directory — search by suburb and trade across free public member profiles.
What does an AI plan pay for?
Monthly AI plans (Micro $5, Starter $30, Pro $100, Scale $300 per month) supply the AI tokens and API calls that power features like floor-plan colourising, drafting assists, colour visualising and workflow agents. Manual tools never need a plan — full pricing.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No — the free account needs no credit card. You only add payment if you buy AI credits or a monthly plan.
Who operates ConstructiveOS?
ConstructiveOS is provided by Speedy Systems Pty Ltd on the SpeedyCore platform — the shared spine behind AdvertHub, MyTradieWeb, HubJobs, CreatorsHub and HubCircles. See About.
