For Builders

Client Management Software for Builders

Build your reputation as solidly as you build extensions.

The ridiculously simple client management software built for builders and general contractors. Manage multi-phase projects, coordinate with clients, and collect stage payments without the chaotic paperwork.

No credit card required. Setup takes 2 minutes.

You didn't start your own building firm to drown in spreadsheets and WhatsApp chains.

Variations get agreed verbally and forgotten, stage payments are chased weeks late, and your client thinks the schedule has slipped when it hasn't. CMA gives you a single source of truth that both you and the client can rely on.

Phased Quotes

Break projects into phases — foundations, first fix, second fix, snagging — each with their own line items and costs. Clients know what to expect at every stage.

Document Everything

Store plans, building control sign-offs, and progress photos against each project. Everything the client needs is in their portal.

Stage Payments

Invoice at each project milestone and let clients pay online. No more awkward conversations about overdue payments.

How do I keep clients updated on multi-week projects?

CMA gives clients visibility without constant phone calls:

Upload progress photos - Share weekly updates through the client portal.

Hit the milestone - Mark phases complete and trigger the next stage invoice.

Client signs off - Digital approval keeps everything documented.

Payment lands - Client pays via card and you move to the next phase.

CMA vs. The Old Way for Builders

Feature The Old Way CMA
Quoting One big number with no breakdown. Phased quotes with itemised costs.
Communication Endless phone calls and texts. Client portal with updates and documents.
Payments Awkward cash-on-site conversations. Milestone invoices with online payment.
Documentation Plans rolled up in the back of the van. Digital document storage per project.
Disputes He-said-she-said about what was agreed. Digital sign-off and full audit trail.
"My extension clients used to ring me five times a day asking for updates. Now they log into the portal and see everything. I can actually get on with building."

- Rob H., General Builder
