BuildStack · General Construction

New build

Residential and light commercial builds run on an editable programme with daily progress.

How it runs

New build on BuildStack.

A new build runs as a Project with an editable task plan (import your programme from Excel), daily progress from site, PO capture, a full HSE file, and typed documents from tender to handover.

Everything below carries a status badge — Included is built today and Roadmap is not.

Roadmap Coming, not here yet

Not built yet for new build.

We only sell what's built. These are on the roadmap and clearly marked — ask on the demo where each one sits in the queue.

Everything in BuildStack — included

No modules. No add-ons.

Every general construction workspace gets all of this on every user band. No VAT is charged.

  • Rate build-up quotingIncluded

    each work type is an assembly of materials, labour and sundries priced live from your own price book. Old quotes keep the price they were quoted at.

  • Commercial rules set onceIncluded

    markups per section, P&G, contingency, waste, access uplift, deposit %, quote validity, guarantee years and travel bands by crew size.

  • Printable quote document with status tracking (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Declined).Included
  • Project filesIncluded

    tenders, drawings, QA, snags, photos and reports typed against the project, with branded plan Excel and PDF exports.

  • CRM spineIncluded

    clients, sites, contacts and contracts, with monthly retainers where you have them. Every quote, job and timesheet hangs off the client.

  • Lead pipelineIncluded

    a Kanban board with your own stages, a hosted web enquiry form (or a form snippet for your site), duplicate matching and templated email follow-up. Quotes and POs move the card for you.

  • Projects with an editable planIncluded

    tasks, assignees, hours and dates, a change log, and planned-vs-actual as the work lands.

  • Jobs & dispatchIncluded

    a weekly board by person or crew; drag a job onto a day to schedule and assign it, with a warning when someone is double-booked.

  • Crew appIncluded

    an installable phone app for the people on site: today's jobs, status, subtasks, hours, notes, navigate and call the client. It keeps working with no signal: today's work is held on the phone, what the crew records is queued, and it syncs by itself when signal returns.

  • Timesheets & daily updatesIncluded

    crews log hours and progress from a link, with Telegram bot binding for your team.

  • Snags & SLAIncluded

    log faults and maintenance against the client and contract, with response and resolution timers by priority, a pause while you wait on the client, and billable hours captured on the snag to raise an invoice record.

  • Stock & assetsIncluded

    materials and consumables by quantity with reorder alerts and a movement log; receive and stocktake with the phone camera; serialised kit tracked to the job it went into; an asset register with custody history.

  • HSEIncluded

    a South African catalogue of certificates, medicals and appointment letters tracked to expiry, plus a client-ready Field HSE file compiled per project as a PDF.

  • Documents & exportsIncluded

    typed files against each job (PO, quote, photos, as-builts, snags…), a sign-off pack PDF with handover checklist and photos, and branded Excel/PDF exports.

  • TrainingIncluded

    your own SOPs as scheduled tests, hand-written or AI-drafted, with per-question results so you see what the team keeps getting wrong.

  • Business dashboardIncluded

    won value against real cost and overheads, margin by client, SLA and retainer strips, a health score graded A–D, and an AI business review in plain language.

  • Your brandIncluded

    logo and colours across the app, branded login link, branded PDFs and Excel.

  • Your wordsSet up for you

    Projects, Snags and module names read the way your trade talks, configured at onboarding.

  • Your stagesSet up for you

    pipeline stages, contract types and HSE file indexes set up for how you sell and deliver.
