One of the main challenges in the market is the complexity of competitor apps, which, despite their excellent functionality, require high IT skills to navigate. This poses a significant barrier for many users who have limited technical expertise.
Our strategy is to offer low-cost solutions that provide immediate benefits to all parties involved in a project. The first app we are launching focuses on bringing clarity and control to the tracking and management of variations in a build project.
In every building project there will always be variations from the original quote to build.
As a principal contractor you are often managing multiple sub-contractors.
This can lead to numerous variations to the contracted works both positive and negative. These changes can be time consuming to track and have a degree of ambiguity.
Variations are rarely authorised and dealt with in a timely fashion, leading to a lack of clarity and control.
As a contractor, using the app to track your own variations as part of a larger project, or a smaller standalone project, the app can save you time bringing clarity and control.
Today, tracking variations can be arduous and complicated, creating delay during the invoice process and disagreement between counter parties.
Currently contractors will submit and agree a price through a tender process with the main contractor, based on detailed drawings and specifications. However, once the build begins variations to the original quote inevitably arise.
These variations can stem from changes requested by the customer, inaccurate drawings, unforeseen work, errors, and various other reasons.
Traditionally, managing these variations involves a convoluted combination of word documents, emails, texts, and inconsistent processes across subcontractors and builds. This often leads to disputes during invoice reconciliation due to the lack of clear and unified evidence.
