Building & Construction

Everything a builder needs, in one login

Extensions, renovations and new work fall over in the gap between the quote and the final account. TruTrade is that gap, closed. The price you sent is the budget you run, and the profit is on the screen while you can still do something about it.

Building & Construction

One login. The whole job.

01

Quote like a QS, even after site

Upload the plans, break the job into builds and stages, and price it live. Or ask TruTrade’s estimators to do the takeoff.

  • Plans, drawings, photos and spreadsheets on the estimate.
  • Margin, contingency, overhead and VAT on sliders.
  • A quote pack with stages and a payment schedule.

The pack looks like a national contractor wrote it.

02

Every job has a P&L

Client price, raw budget, spend, wages, materials and projected profit. Variations sit on their own so agreed extras do not disappear.

  • Six figures on the job: margin, paid, outstanding, spend, materials, wages.
  • Budget you can edit as the job moves.
  • One click from a won estimate to a live project.

You stop finding out at the end.

03

The client gets a portal, not a group chat

They accept the quote, request a change, and see invoices and drawings. You look organised because you are.

  • Acceptance in their login.
  • Variations instead of texts.
  • Drawings in one vault.

They can see the job without ringing you.

04

Materials, wages and CIS

Order from the estimate on merchant-connected jobs. Run PAYE and CIS, approve timesheets, and check VAT in the same login as the quote.

  • Material lists by stage and spend on the job.
  • CIS and PAYE wage ledgers.
  • HMRC view for VAT, sales and purchases.

The back office is the same place as the job.

From the trade

Builders running the same app

“The quote pack alone wins me work. Clients think I’ve got a QS on the payroll — and the margin sliders mean the number that goes out is the number I meant.”
Matthew RenshawBuilder, Warwickshire
“I used to price on the hop and hope for the best. Now I set my margin before the client’s even called back, and I know where every job stands on a Sunday night instead of finding out at the end.”

“Invoices, CIS and the client portal in one place. My admin night has basically disappeared, and clients stopped ringing me for updates because they can see it all.”
