For construction and trades

Software for construction and trades businesses

You're pricing jobs at ten at night and chasing variations nobody wrote down. Meanwhile the customer's ringing to ask when you're starting.

How these businesses run

Every enquiry needs pricing before you know if it's worth having, and the price depends on measurements, materials and who's free.

The job then runs across people who are rarely in one place: estimator, site, supplier, customer. The office is where it's all meant to meet, and where it usually stops.

Money comes in stages, so deposits, variations and retentions all need tracking against a job that's still moving.

Where your week goes

  • Quotes taking days because the numbers are in your head.
  • A variation agreed on site that nobody ever invoices.
  • Customers ringing for an update, so you ring the site.
  • Job photos stuck on phones instead of against the job.
  • The diary's a whiteboard, and the whiteboard isn't in the van.

Sound like your business?

Tell us which one costs you the most time. We'll tell you what we'd build, roughly what it would cost and how long it would take.

What we can build for this

What we'd build for a business like yours. The work already delivered is further down.

  • Pricing rules that give the same number every time
  • Quotes out the same day, with follow-ups that send themselves
  • One record per job: the quote, variations, photos and paperwork
  • A schedule showing who's where, that works on a phone
  • A customer page with the job status and next date, so the update calls stop
  • Photos and notes from site that upload when the signal comes back
  • Deposits, stage payments and reminders tied to each job

How a project would work

We start by following one real job end to end, including the bits that only work because someone rings someone.

Then the smallest useful piece goes live first, usually quoting, because it eats the most time.
