For homeowners
Every cost on your build, on the record.
No more chasing a cousin for photographs. No more sending money and hoping. Your build runs on a system that records what was ordered, what arrived, who worked and what it cost - so the answers exist whether or not anyone remembers to send them.
The problem
What people tell us on the first call.
Almost word for word, every time.
Money leaves, evidence does not follow
Photographs arrive when somebody remembers, and never of the thing you were asking about. You are funding stages you have never seen.
You cannot tell what you are paying for
Was that really 200 bags of cement? Is that the steel you specified, or something cheaper with the same money charged? Substitution and over-ordering are hard to see from six time zones away.
Checking up costs you a relationship
Verifying anything means asking a relative to drive out again. You feel bad asking, they feel watched, and their read on a slab is not a record you can rely on later anyway.
What you get
A record you can check, not a story you have to trust.
Your contractor runs the job on SiteBooks, so this is captured as the work happens rather than assembled for your benefit. We report it to you every week.
Dated photographic evidence
Site diary entries and photographs captured on site the day the work happened, attached to the activity they evidence rather than dropped in a folder.
Spending against the agreed budget
What was priced, what has been committed and what has been spent, per section. A rate that moves surfaces as a variation, at the time.
Deliveries matched to orders
Every material order is raised, approved and then receipted against a delivery note. Short deliveries and substitutions surface at the gate, not months later.
Contractors we have verified
Builders on SiteBooks are identity-checked at onboarding and are running their sites on a system that leaves an audit trail.
How we are different
We do not replace your builder. We put the job on the record.
Most firms offering to watch your build from abroad want to take the whole project over, and price accordingly. That works, and we do it too if you want it - but it is not the only answer.
SiteBooks is the system underneath. Your contractor keeps running their own business, on their own terms, using software they will keep using on their next job. You get a permissioned view into the same record they work from. Nobody is producing a report specially for you, which is precisely why you can trust it.
How to start
Bring your contractor, or hand us the build.
You already have a contractor
We onboard your contractor and configure the project against their bill. They keep running the site their way, and we report what the system records to you each week. Most contractors take it up because it replaces reporting they were already doing by hand.
Onboard my contractorYou want it managed
Our team runs the build end to end: site visits, procurement records, receipts and payments. We charge a percentage of each deposit you make rather than of the contract sum, so nothing is billed before your money arrives.
See managed-build pricingOne message
Your contractor does not need convincing.
Most contractors take SiteBooks up straight away, because it replaces the progress reporting they are already doing by hand. Send them this and we will take it from there - setup, training, the lot.
Any timezone
Reporting lands in your inbox rather than depending on catching someone awake on site. Questions get answered against a record, not a memory.
Whoever needs to know
A spouse, parents, a funder or the relative who visits site - tell us who should be on the reporting and we include them.
A complete record
Photographs, receipts and reports stay together for the life of the build, exportable at any point. Useful long after handover.
