Variations Just Got a Massive Upgrade – Here’s Why It Matters for Home Builders
If you run a home construction company, you already know one thing: plans change.
Whether it's a client upgrading benchtops, altering a floor plan, or adding an alfresco at the last minute — variations are inevitable. But just because they’re common doesn’t mean they should be messy, manual, or time-consuming.
That’s why we’ve rebuilt the iProx Variations feature from the ground up — to give builders like you a faster, more professional, and more profitable way to handle change requests.
🏠 Why Variations Matter in Residential Construction
In residential builds, variations can be the difference between profit and pain.
They often start out simple:
“Can we swap the laminate for stone?”
“Can we push the alfresco out by a metre?”
“Can we add another power point in the living room?”
But managing those changes across your contract, budget, schedule, suppliers, and site team? That’s where it gets tricky.
If you’re still tracking variations in spreadsheets or manually adjusting contracts, you're not just losing time — you’re leaving money on the table.
✨ Meet the New iProx Variations – Built for Real-World Building Projects
We designed the new iProx Variations feature for the realities of residential construction. Here’s what’s new and why it matters:
📦 Pull Items Straight From Your Catalog
Whether you're changing door handles or upgrading to premium flooring, you can now build variations using real products and prices from your iProx catalog. No guesswork. No double handling. Just accurate quotes every time.
💰 Instantly Apply Margins and Adjust Pricing
Need to add a markup? No problem. Enter your margin for each line item and IROX will do the maths. It means:
