That variation
cost you
£40,000.

Somebody on site said go ahead. The client swears they never agreed to it. There is a WhatsApp message, a photograph of a drawing, and a foreman who remembers it differently. You will be paying for this one, and you both know it.

↑ Only Omar can authorise a variation. Not the foreman, not a text message, not “Lena said it was fine”.

And when Omar authorises it

The variation is stamped with his name, the date and the cost he saw at the time — attached to the job, not to somebody’s phone. Disputes stop being one memory against another.

We never signed anything off for this.

↑ Six weeks. One thumbs-up. Forty thousand pounds nobody will admit to.

One job.
Six systems.
One argument.

Nothing here is broken exactly. It's just that the work lives in one place, the money lives in another, and the client lives in your inbox.

None of it records who agreed to what. So the argument is always yours to lose.

One system you run on.
One login they use.

Fifty-three screens ship with it. These are the eight that change your week — the rest are there when you want them and quiet when you don't.

Their side

Clients get their own front door

They sign in and see their projects, their files, their invoices — and absolutely nothing belonging to anyone else. You choose what each client can see.

Their side

Decisions with a name on them

Work goes out as a decision, not an attachment. Approve, or request changes. Recorded, dated, signed by a human. “I never approved that” stops being a conversation.

Their side

Four roles, so the right person decides

Account owner signs and pays. Manager approves. Team member uploads and comments. Viewer looks. Set per client in about a minute, and the wrong person simply doesn’t get the button.

Your side

Everything live, and whose turn it is

Projects, tasks, calendar and the pipeline in one place. At a glance: what’s moving, what’s stuck, and who it’s sitting with. Usually them.

Your side

Invoices that know what they’re for

Raise it against the work, send it, and see who hasn’t paid without opening anything else. It bills — it isn’t your accountant, and it won’t pretend to be.

Your side

Your name on it. Not ours.

Your logo, your colours, your domain. When your client signs in, nothing on the screen mentions us. As far as they know, you built it. We’re fine with that.

Your side

When the site manager who knew everything leaves

You know the one. He’s carried three jobs in his head for eleven years and nobody wrote any of it down. This gives you a standing list of who’s the only person on something — read it any month, nobody has to be leaving. When one of them does hand in their notice, one click reads back every job, client and variation that was his, flags what has no second name against it, and gives you the questions worth asking while he’s still on site. It reads your job records, not his phone.

Your side

Your data leaves whenever you like

Backed up nightly, and the backup is read back to check it actually restores — an unread backup is a hope, not a backup. Any client’s records export to a plain file on request. Nothing about this holds you hostage.

Oh, and
the rest of it.

Everything above is the half your clients touch. This is the half you get, and we're not charging extra for any of it — you don't have to use a single screen on day one.

The Executive analytics screen: revenue, ARR, profit and retention tiles above trend and forecast charts, with CRM, Sales, Invoices, AI Assistant and Workflows in the sidebar.

Project software tracks the programme. This one tracks who said yes.

Live on Friday.

Not "onboarding". Not a "discovery phase". A week, with your actual work in it at the end.

Mon

We talk for an hour

How you really work — your stages, your roles, who is allowed to approve what. Bring a job that went sideways. Everyone has one.

Tue

Your copy goes up

Your instance, your subdomain, your logo and colours. On accounts opened in your name.

Wed

Your real work goes in

Live clients, live jobs, the invoices you’re still chasing. No blank screens, no sample data.

Thu

Your team gets logins

An hour together. If it needs a training course, it’s built wrong.

Fri

You let the clients in

Two or three to start. The first decision that lands in the portal instead of your inbox pays for the week.

What it costs.

First, the bit nobody else tells you

The accounts are yours. Your domain, your hosting, your database — all opened in your name, on your card, on day one. Runs about $40–50 a month, paid straight to them, no markup from us.

Which means there is no switch we can flip. If you sack us on a Wednesday, nothing turns off. You keep the system, the data and the logins, and we hand over a runbook so any competent developer can pick it up.

Founding client · first three only $2,500once

The whole week below, your branding, your real work loaded in. Then pick a support option — or don't.

  • Your setup price is locked, for good
  • An unreasonable amount of attention while we're this small
  • In exchange: tell us the truth, and let us use your name once it's working
Standard setup $6,000once

Same week, same result, no strings attached to the end of it.

  • Live in five days with your real work in it
  • Unlimited people, unlimited client logins
  • Runbook handed over, accounts already yours

Then, afterwards, one of three things

Option A · Nothing$0/month

It's yours, it's running, we're done. Genuinely a fine choice.

  • Call us back at $80/hour if something breaks
  • No contract, no notice, no awkwardness
Option B · Care plan$150/month

The sensible middle. Email support, one business day, Monday to Friday.

  • Security patches when they actually matter
  • A monthly check that your backups really ran
  • Cancel with 30 days' notice, no reason needed
Option C · Changes too$80/hour

On top of the care plan, when you want the thing itself changed.

  • New screens, new fields, new reports
  • Quoted before we start, always

For scale: a custom-built client portal runs $25,000–$60,000 and takes six months. We're the other option.

When someone leaves

The site manager
who knew.

He knew which supplier actually turns up, which variation was agreed on the phone, and which client signs off quickly if you catch them before ten. Then he retired.

Day one

It builds the handover for you

Mark someone as leaving and it reads their jobs, tasks, clients and variations, and assembles what they were carrying — before the exit interview, not after it.

The real risk

It finds the jobs nobody else touches

“Four live jobs have one name on them.” Better to see that while he’s on notice than the first week he isn’t.

Their successor

A briefing, not a shoebox

Whoever picks up the patch gets the jobs, the clients and the open variations, plus a list of what the records can’t tell them.

The van keys come back.
Everything else walks.

It reads your jobs, clients, tasks and variations. Not his phone, not his texts, not the notebook in the van. What it can’t see is whatever never got typed anywhere — so it tells you which questions to ask before the last day.

Things it can't do.

Every other page you've read today told you what its software does. Here's the other list, because you'd find out in week two anyway and week two is a rotten time to find out.

Twenty minutes.
No slides.

It isn't a demo call, it's four questions. If it's not a fit we'll say so in the first ten minutes and give you the twenty back.

  • What did the last disputed variation cost you — and could you prove who agreed it?
  • Where does a client look to see where their job actually is?
  • How do stage sign-offs reach you today?
  • What do you use now, and what falls apart when someone’s on site?
