Trades and builders
Job management app built for your building firm
There's never been a better time for a job app that does exactly what your firm wants, and nothing more. Jobs, quotes, variations, site photos, and materials: you get only what you need, and you only pay for that. You don't pay for piles of features you'll never use, and there are no per-user fees for bloat.
What the app can cover
Job tracking
From the enquiry to the finished job: who it is for, what stage it is at, and what is still open. The job is the centre, and the other records hang off it.
Quoting and variations
A quote the client can understand, then a written variation when the work changes. The price of the job should live somewhere more durable than a text message. A first draft can come from an assistant, with a person checking it before it is sent. That setup is on AI for your business.
Site photos organised by job stage
Photos sit on the job, against the stage they belong to, so you can find the frame, the preline, or the finished room without scrolling a camera roll.
Materials
What was ordered, what arrived, and which job it was for. Enough to run the work, without turning the app into an accounting package.
Built around how your firm works
Fergus, Tradify, and Buildxact are established tools for trade and construction businesses. Plenty of firms run well on them. They are a sensible choice when their workflow is already close to yours, and when you will use what they include.
A custom app is the other choice. It follows the stages you actually use, who is allowed to change a quote, where photos need to sit, and how you track materials. You get that, and you pay for that. It is a smaller system, built around how your firm works.
If a product you already use fits the way you work, stay with it. A custom app can also include the apprentice who only uploads photos. There is no per-user fee for bloat on top of the build.
The same shape of engagement applies across other small businesses. Industries lists more of them. How it works sets out discovery, the fixed-price build, and the care plan, and Your data covers ownership.
