BuildStack · General Construction

Renovations & alterations

Quoted from rate build-ups, run as a plan, closed with a snag list and sign-off.

How it runs

Renovations & alterations on BuildStack.

Renovations quote from your assemblies, run as Projects with a plan and a crew, carry snags as tickets and close with a photo sign-off pack.

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

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.
