For building and renovation companies
Multi-trade quotes built faster, progress invoices without spreadsheets.
Full renovations, extensions, loft conversions: your projects involve several trades, subcontractors and invoicing as the work progresses. We develop quoting and tracking software that matches the way you price, and an assistant that lightens the office load.
What holds you back
What makes running a renovation company complicated
The bigger the project, the more the paperwork multiplies. Off-the-shelf software often forces you to adapt to it.
Quotes split into work packages
Demolition, masonry, plumbing, electrics, plastering, painting: each package has its own items, measurements and prices. Putting it all together in a spreadsheet quickly becomes fragile.
Progress invoices done by hand
Invoicing as the work progresses means going back to the quote, showing what has been completed for each package and deducting the deposits. One formula error, and the invoice is wrong.
Extra work poorly recorded
The customer asks for a change mid-project. If it is not priced and approved in writing, it ends up as an argument when the final invoice arrives.
Coordinating teams and subcontractors
Who is on which site, when, after which trade: a delay on one package pushes back all the others, and everyone finds out too late.
Supplier invoices to reconcile
Materials, equipment hire, subcontracting: every invoice has to be assigned to the right project to know the real margin.
What we put in place
What we build with you
A custom tool, built from your own quotes and your own organisation.
Quoting software by package and by item
Your library of items by trade, your mark-ups and your terms. The multi-trade quote comes together without a spreadsheet, and the tool connects to the approved platform of your choice for sending and receiving e-invoices.
Progress invoices calculated from the quote
You enter the progress of each package, the tool calculates the progress invoice, takes deposits into account and keeps the history. Variations are added to the original quote once the customer approves them.
A shared project schedule
Teams and subcontractors on the same schedule, project by project. A delayed package shows up immediately for everyone following it.
Supplier invoices prepared
Aristide reads the PDF invoices you receive, suggests the project they belong to and prepares the data for your invoicing software. You approve each allocation.
A website that builds trust
Your areas of work, your completed projects and a form that collects the type of property, the floor area and the planned project.
ExampleExample
Fictional example: a general renovation contractor
An imagined example for illustration, not a real client. A mid-sized renovation company carries out its own masonry and plastering packages and subcontracts the rest. Its quotes live in spreadsheets copied from one project to the next. After an audit, we build quoting software by package with them, based on their past quotes, followed by progress invoice calculation. The site manager enters progress from the site, and the office issues the progress invoice with no manual recalculation.

Frequently asked questions
Why custom software rather than off-the-shelf construction software?
If an off-the-shelf product matches the way you price, it may be enough, and we will tell you so. Custom software makes sense when your packages, mark-ups or tracking do not fit a standard tool.
Can you take over my existing price library?
Yes, in most cases, from your spreadsheets or an export. We analyse your files at the start to organise your items by package.
Does the tool handle e-invoicing?
The tool connects to the approved platform of your choice for sending and receiving e-invoices. We help you organise that connection.
Will my subcontractors have access to the software?
If you wish, with access limited to their schedule and their projects. Your prices and margins stay visible only to your team.
