Operational Clarity for Built Environment Businesses
We help built environment businesses know which projects are making money, in real time, not at year end.
Software's the start. We stay on to fix how your practice actually runs around it.
One system, not six spreadsheets
Every job, hour and file in one place, not scattered across spreadsheets, email and someone's memory
Margin, visible while the job's live
Fee tracked against actual as the work happens, not worked out after the invoice goes out.
Every scope change, costed
Logged, signed off, costed and invoiced, so extra work stops getting quietly written off.
AI policy
A written policy on what your team can and can't put into AI tools, so client data and project IP stay protected.
What We Fix
Do you only find out a job wasn't profitable after you've invoiced it?
Most businesses we work with are in the same position: jobs logged across spreadsheets, email and someone’s memory, no live view of fee against actual, and scope changes nobody got round to billing.
Here’s how we can help

Find your discipline and, see exactly how we help
Architects
The client wants another visualisation. Stage 3 drags into Stage 4. The RIBA Plan of Work says one thing; the fee proposal, unbilled, says another.
Engineeers
Design stages run over. Construction support doubles. The write-off lands in the final invoice.
Surveyors
The site revisit wasn’t in the scope. The schedule of condition takes two visits instead of one. The party wall query runs to a third round of correspondence, unbilled.
Ecology
The bat survey season closes in October. The LPA’s ecologist asks for another site visit before they’ll discharge the condition. The clock on the fee proposal doesn’t stop.
