The app for builders

A twelve-week job, four stage payments, and all of them chased from memory.

Building work is paid in stages and lost in the gaps between them. Adminmate puts the deposit on the quote, invoices each stage from it, and reminds you to chase the ones that drift.

Sound familiar?

The paperwork side of being a builder.

The deposit agreed with a handshake, and the skip, the sand and the blocks all on your account.

Stage two invoiced late because stage three was already under way.

Variations agreed on site and never written down, so the final bill is an argument.

What it does for you

A builder's quoting and invoicing app, built for stage payments.

  • The deposit on the quote and asked for when they accept, before you order a thing.
  • Each stage invoiced from the quote, with the deposit shown as paid and the balance clear.
  • Variations added as lines they accept on the quote page, so there's a record of every yes.
  • A reminder ready the day a stage payment goes overdue, waiting for your tap.

A week with the app, as a builder

An extension, priced in the app as the stages you'll invoice it in: groundworks, shell, roof, first fix, second fix, finishing. Each stage is a line with its own figure, the deposit is 10% up front, and the terms say each stage is due on completion of it. The customer accepts on the quote page and the deposit arrives before the digger does.

Week four, the shell is up. You mark the stage done in the app, raise the stage invoice from the quote in a tap, and send it from the site. It shows the deposit paid, this stage due and the stages still to come, so there's no confusion about what's been paid for. Week five, the customer asks for a bigger window. You add the variation as a line, they accept it on their phone, and it's on the next stage invoice with their yes recorded.

Stage three's invoice goes past its date on a Monday. The app has a reminder ready; you tap it between the roofers arriving and the inspector. Paid Tuesday. Nothing was chased from memory.

Questions

Quoting and invoicing questions builders ask

Can I split one quote into stage invoices?

Yes. Invoice part of the accepted quote at each stage. The running total shows what's been invoiced, what's been paid and what's left.

Does it handle CIS deductions on subcontract work?

Yes. Tell it you're a subcontractor, or a contractor paying subbies, and the CIS deduction shows on the invoice where it applies.
