The client rings every other day
Not because they distrust you, but because nothing tells them. Six months of that is a working week of your life.
Foundation Who we build for Builders
Websites and project
software for builders.
Extensions are sold on finished work and lost on communication. We build the site that shows the work and the system that keeps a client informed without you being on the phone from the scaffold.

The bit that hurts
“What is happening
this week?”
A building job is six months of a client not knowing what happens next, and a builder answering the same question from the top of a ladder.
Photographs stuck on a phone
You have thousands of pictures of finished work and a website with four. The portfolio is the sale and it is sitting in your camera roll.
Variations agreed verbally
“While you are here, could you…” costs money, gets done, and turns into an argument at the final invoice because nobody wrote it down.
Staged payments chased by text
The stage is complete, the payment is due, and asking for it is the bit nobody enjoys. So it slips, and the merchant bill does not.
An example site
A site built
on finished work.
Building work is bought on evidence. This example is a trade site built around what the customer needs to decide in thirty seconds — who you are, what you have done, and what it costs to find out more.
An example trade site. Yours would be designed around your work, not recoloured from this one.
What we build for you
The project, and
the client on it.
Everything below exists to solve one problem: a client who does not know what is happening, and a builder who has no time to tell them.
A client portal
Programme, this week's work, photographs from site, and what you are waiting on them to choose. The phone calls stop almost immediately.
Quoting by stage
Groundworks, shell, first fix, second fix, finish. Priced by stage so the client understands the number and you get paid as you go.
Variations in writing
“While you are here” becomes a priced variation the client accepts on their phone, before it happens. It ends the final-invoice argument.
Staged payments, requested automatically
Each stage completes, the request goes out, with a card or bank link. Your merchant account stops funding the client's extension.
Photos from site to portfolio
Taken on a phone, filed against the job, and pushed to the website as a case study when you choose. The camera roll finally earns.
Subcontractors and the programme
Who is on site which week, what they are waiting on, and what slips if the roof runs late.
How it goes
First working build
in 72 hours.
Builders usually start with the website, because the portfolio is the sale and it is the thing currently stuck on a phone.
A call about your work
What you build, how you price, and where the last three jobs went wrong administratively.
A working site in 72 hours
Live, with your best three jobs on it properly.
Portal and staging wired in
Programme, photographs and staged payment requests.
Variations in writing
So the final invoice is the one everybody expected.

Quick answers
Builder questions,
answered straight.
How much does a builder's website cost?
From £250 built and handed over, or £220 up front plus £19 a month hosted and maintained. The project system and client portal are quoted free.
Will a client portal actually stop the phone calls?
Largely, yes. Most calls are “what is happening this week”, and a programme with photographs answers that before it is asked. The builders we build this for get their evenings back.
Can it handle variations?
That is one of the main reasons to have it. A variation gets priced and accepted on the client's phone before the work happens, which ends the argument at the final invoice.
Does it request staged payments?
Automatically, as each stage completes, with a payment link. It is the difference between funding a client's extension out of your own account and not.
Can I get my site photographs onto the website?
Yes. Photos taken on a phone file against the job, and you choose which become public case studies. No exporting, no re-uploading, no agency in the middle.
Do you work with our existing accounts software?
We will tell you honestly whether you need us to. Most builders keep their bookkeeping where it is; what they are missing is the programme, the variations and the staged requests.
Answered?
Two fields and a tap. You'll hear back from a real person, usually today.
