The platform

    One system, from the first site visit to the final invoice

    The bid, the job and the books stop living in different places — which is what makes the margin figure trustworthy while the job is still running.

    What's in it

    Win the work

    Structured questionnaires turn a site visit into a priced proposal from your own catalog.

    • Questionnaires built per trade
    • Proposal templates you control
    • Priced options the client picks from
    • E-signature without leaving the page
    • Contingency set per line item, at bid time
    • Scenes — interactive project showcases with before/after, hotspots and video

    Run the job

    Every purchase order, bill, change order and commission lands in one ledger, scored against the budget as it happens.

    • Cost to complete and job float
    • Contingency tracked as a live swing
    • Change orders in the same ledger
    • Purchase orders and bills
    • Schedule, to-dos, RFIs and work orders
    • Time tracking against the job
    • Service requests after handover
    • Inventory, assets and equipment logs

    Keep the client close

    Homeowners answer their own questions in a branded portal instead of calling you.

    • Schedule and selections they can see
    • Photos and progress updates
    • Invoices and online payment
    • Documents and approvals

    Buy well, and get found

    Contractor pricing on materials from day one, and a Marketplace listing that puts you in front of homeowners already shopping.

    • 20% off materials, on every plan including Free
    • Order from your supplier's catalog inside BidBuild
    • A listing homeowners can find and enquire through
    • Affiliate commissions on referred product

    Run the company

    The parts that aren't a single job — what the crew needs to know, and where the paperwork lives.

    • Intranet hub for announcements, policies and how-we-do-it
    • Documents in one place, not five inboxes
    • Map view of the day's work
    • Roles and permissions per person

    Tie it to your books

    It reconciles to QuickBooks rather than fighting it, so the number you act on is the number you file.

    • QuickBooks Online and Desktop
    • Divisions and cost codes
    • Commissions and payroll exports
    • Reporting across every job
    Scenes

    Show the work before you've built it

    Scenes are client-facing presentations you assemble from your own photos and product data — sizes, finishes, features. Drop in a before-and-after slider, pin hotspots on the detail that sells the upgrade, embed a walkthrough video. Send a link; they scroll it on the couch.

    • Before-and-after sliders on your own project photos
    • Hotspots pinned to the detail that justifies the price
    • Video, galleries and spec sheets in the same presentation
    • One link, no attachment, works on a phone

    Time tracking

    Labor lands in the job cost, not a spreadsheet

    Crews punch in against the job from the field. Hours flow straight into that job's cost, so the labor line moves with the work instead of arriving with the payroll run — which is the difference between a margin figure you can act on and one you find out about.

    • Punch in and out against a specific job or service call
    • Live view of who is on the clock and where
    • Hours roll into job cost automatically
    • Time entries and reports for payroll

    Service requests

    Callbacks stop living in someone's texts

    Clients raise service calls and warranty claims from the portal. Each one gets a number, a status and a job it belongs to — so warranty work is tracked like any other work rather than absorbed as a favor nobody costed.

    • Raised by the client from their own portal
    • Warranty and out-of-warranty separated
    • Tied to the original job and product
    • Service logs kept against the asset
