The Admin panel
Available onEstimatorBuilder
Your subscription is managed in a separate site, the Admin panel, at admin.smartebuild.com.au. It uses the same email address and password as SmarteBuild itself, but only an Administrator can sign in — see Adding users for who that should be.
Keeping it separate is deliberate. Everything on it changes what the whole company can do or what the company is charged, so it sits behind the administrator role rather than in a menu every user can see.
What is on it
Section titled “What is on it”A menu down the left side has four sections. Moving between them is instant: the page does not reload.
| Section | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Subscription | Your plan, whether it is active and when it next renews, your tax invoices, and the buttons to subscribe, change plan, update the card, pause or cancel |
| Users | Everyone who signs in: their details, which modules, projects and estimates each person can open, and the mailbox their emails go out from. This is the only place users are managed |
| Settings | Company name, ABN, address, GST and markup defaults, your logo, and the bank accounts printed on your claims and variations |
| Companies | For businesses that run more than one entity: add another company and choose what it shares with the main one |
You land on Subscription after signing in. The bottom of the menu has Open SmarteBuild, Help and Sign out. On a phone, the menu opens from the button at the top left.
If you manage more than one company, the Company drop-down at the top of the menu chooses which one you are looking at. Subscription, Settings, and the modules and projects on Users all follow it.
Who bills you
Section titled “Who bills you”Billing is handled by Stripe. When you subscribe, you enter your card on Stripe’s secure page, not on ours, and Stripe charges it each month or year and emails you a tax invoice every time. SmarteBuild never sees or stores your card number. The Admin panel shows you what Stripe knows and hands you across to Stripe’s own page for anything to do with the card itself.
The pages in this section
Section titled “The pages in this section”- Subscribing and changing plan — from the free trial to a paid plan, monthly or annual, and moving between Estimator and Builder.
- Invoices, your card, pausing and cancelling — where the invoices are, what to do when a payment fails, pausing for up to three months, and how cancellation works.
- Company details, logo and bank accounts — what prints on your documents, your default GST and variation markup, and the accounts clients pay into.
- AI credits — the A$50 packs that pay for the AI features, the three free take-off drafts, and what your credit went on.
For which modules each plan includes, see What is in each plan.
