About JobSums

JobSums is operated by Joel Ockenden, a sole trader in Western Australia. It helps carpenters calculate quantities, prepare materials lists and create quotes. Contact joelockenden@gmail.com about your account or these terms.

Live subscriptions are available to signed-in members. Checkout charges real money and starts the selected monthly subscription. Approved lifetime testers and the owner keep free access. Eligible new customers can start a 14-day email-verified trial without a payment card. Sandbox checkout, when used for development, is labelled separately and does not charge real money.

Check your work on site

Check inputs, dimensions, drawings, quantities, prices and outputs before ordering, quoting or building. Allow for the actual site, supplier stock, waste, fixings, local requirements and structural design. Drawings and calculations are estimating aids; they do not certify structural adequacy or building compliance. Obtain engineering or other qualified advice when needed.

AI plan reading produces draft results that may miss or misread information. Check every result against the original plan. No monthly AI allowance is promised as part of the plans below at this stage.

Your account and work

Each subscription is for one person using their own devices. Keep your email and sign-in links secure. You retain ownership of your job content and give JobSums permission to store and process it to provide the features you use. Only upload plans and customer information you have permission to use.

Do not share access, bypass usage limits, interfere with the service or use it unlawfully. We may restrict access to address misuse or security issues. Keep your own downloaded backups of important jobs and quotes.

Monthly plans

• Starter: A$14.99 per month — 5 quoted jobs per month.
• Plus: A$24.99 per month — 15 quoted jobs per month.
• Pro: A$34.99 per month — unlimited quoted jobs.

Prices are in Australian dollars. JobSums is not GST registered and does not add GST. Calculators, builds, drafts and revisions are unlimited within normal personal use.

A job uses one allowance when its quote is first finished, printed or marked sent or accepted. Revising, reprinting or creating its invoice does not count again. Allowances reset on the first of each calendar month at midnight in Perth, Western Australia. Unused jobs do not roll over. Reaching the allowance does not create automatic overage charges; you can continue existing jobs and drafts or upgrade.

Trials, renewal and plan changes

An eligible verified trial lasts 14 days without a card and ends without an automatic charge. Subscribing ends any remaining trial and starts the subscription immediately. Monthly subscriptions renew until cancelled. The checkout displays the amount before you confirm.

Upgrades take effect after payment is confirmed, with any prorated amount shown by Stripe. Usage already recorded that month remains counted. Downgrades and cancellation take effect at the end of the paid period. You can still view and download saved account jobs after access expires; creating, editing and saving are paused. See cancellation and refunds.

Lifetime testers

Approved lifetime testers keep free lifetime access with unlimited quoted jobs. They do not need a paid plan and are not automatically converted into paying subscribers. Account security and appropriate-use rules still apply.

Changes and your rights

We may improve features and update these terms. We will notify affected subscribers of material price or subscription changes before they apply, so they can decide whether to continue. These terms do not exclude or limit rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable Australian Consumer Law guarantees.

How we handle your information is explained in our privacy policy.
