Drop in what you have
Staff lists, rate cards and customer spreadsheets. CREW25 AI reads them into your team, customers and price book, and you check everything before it is created.
Done with Groundplan?
Meet CREW25.
The AI platform that turns your takeoff into a quote, then runs the job to the invoice.
14-day free trial, no credit card required.
AI that runs your office, not another software
Ask in plain words, typed or spoken. It works from your own jobs, schedule, hours and price book, and checks with you before it changes anything.
Your admin, done by 9:30
Ask for today’s jobs, what’s overdue, a quote or the week’s hours. Anything important, it checks with you first.
Quotes from a sentence
Say the job on site and CREW25 AI drafts the quote from your own price book, ready for you to check and send.
Knows the margin mid-job
Labour is costed as hours are approved, so a job running over shows while there’s still time for a variation.
Paid without the chasing
Reminders go out until the invoice is paid, and payments come back from Xero and card payments by themselves.
Already measuring in Groundplan?
- Groundplan doesn’t publish its prices; it’s pay as you go with no lock-in contract and a seven-day free trial, as of November 2026.
- It measures and exports to Excel or tools like simPRO and AroFlo; the job itself lives somewhere else.
- CREW25 measures the plans inside the job, prices them from your price book and sends them to a quote in one step.
- After the quote the same job carries the crew schedule, hours, costs and invoices.

A measurement is only worth what it quotes.
Fast measuring still ends in a spreadsheet unless the takeoff is priced where you quote.
In CREW25 each takeoff item is priced from your price book, so a measured wall is a priced wall.
