Case study

One hub for a busy construction business.

A South West construction business was running on messages, spreadsheets and memory. We worked alongside the owner and team to build a connected hub for the whole working day.

Before

Information everywhere.

  • Quotes, extras and customer contacts spread across messages and paperwork
  • Job plans and instructions passed on by phone and WhatsApp
  • Wages, CIS and timesheets pieced together at the end of the week
  • Materials ordered without a clear record of what was approved or delivered
  • Hard to see job costs against what had been invoiced
  • Plant, vehicles and tools tracked from memory

Our approach

Listen first, then build.

  • Start with how the business really works, not a template
  • Listen to the team doing the work as well as the owner
  • Build in stages so people can adopt each part
  • Keep screens simple enough to use on site, on a phone

What we built

Everything connected around the job.

Enquiries, quotes & extras

Every enquiry, quote and agreed extra recorded against the customer and job.

Jobs, programme & diary

A shared view of what is on, who is where and what happens next.

Workers, wages & CIS

Team details, time and payments kept together for the weekly run.

Purchasing & materials

Orders, approvals and deliveries linked to each job.

Job costs & invoices

Costs set against invoice status so the owner can see where each job stands.

Documents, safety & sign-off

Paperwork and checks stored with the job they belong to.

Plant, vehicles & tools

Who has what, where it is and when checks are due.

Owner weekly review

One place to review the week rather than chasing updates.

The result

One place to run the business.

The owner and team now work from one shared hub instead of scattered messages and paperwork. Measured results will be added here once they have been recorded and agreed with the client.

The client’s name is withheld. You can see a fictional version of this kind of hub in our example hub.

Built around how your business works.
