For builders and every trade who want their evenings back.
SiteDesk is the office side of your trade, run by an assistant you talk to instead of type at. Builder, sparky, plumber, plasterer, on your own or a few of you. You send it a voice note off the job. It writes the customer update, the quote, the invoice. You read it, you say yes, it sends. You stop doing the books at nine o'clock at night.
/ How it works, in one line
You speak. It drafts. You approve. Nothing leaves your phone until you've read it and said yes.
No message gets posted to a customer, no invoice gets paid, no quote goes out, until you (or whoever does your books) have looked at it and approved it. The assistant keeps you up to date and does the writing, in your tone of voice, right for the situation. The final act is always yours. That's the whole arrangement, and it doesn't change.
/ What it does today
These aren't promises. They're running on real jobs at the building firm trying it first. Same routine for all four. You talk to it like you'd talk to a mate on the job, and it comes back tidy, in your own words, ready to go out when you say yes.
Get the price right and you've got the job. Walk round, talk the prices as you go, room by room, a voice note at a time. It builds the quote line by line while you talk, laid out the way you've always laid yours out. You get it back two ways: a PDF, and an online version the customer can sign on their phone, with the e-signature built in and legally sound. You do the pricing. It does the typing.
A quote drafted by the time you're back in the van, ready for the customer to signOn anything bigger than a day's work the money comes in stages, and every stage wants a valuation: what's done, what it's worth, what's due now. Send one voice note off the job, "first fix done, plasterboard up, kitchen units next week", and it works out where the job's got to, updates the project numbers, and produces the exact document your bookkeeper or your accounts use to raise the invoice.
You check it, you send it, and you get paid for the work you've done instead of carrying the job on your own money for months.
Stage payments raised on time, so the job never runs on your cashIt reads the mail coming into your inbox. When a message wants a quote or a valuation, it produces one. And it drafts the reply, in your own words, learned from the mail you've already sent, so it reads like you wrote it. The draft sits in your drafts folder. You open it, you read it, you send it. It never sends a single email on its own.
The inbox cleared as the day runs, every reply still yours to sendThe photos already on your phone, the finished jobs, the before and afters, are enough to build the firm a proper website. It reverse-engineers the site from the work you've already done. No new shoot, no sitting down to write the copy, no web designer to chase or pay. You look it over before anything goes live.
A real website off the work you've already got, nothing new to do/ Next, not yet
We tell you plainly what's live and what isn't. These two are next in the pipeline, not running yet. The same rule will hold when they land: it makes it, you look at it, nothing goes out till you say so.
/ What you don't get
Most software wants you to learn it. This one fits round how you already work, whatever your trade. The list of things it doesn't make you do is half the point.
/ Beyond the admin
You're already taking photos: the finished rooms, the before and afters. Those same photos are what bring the next customer in. The website above is built off them, live today. The social posts are next in the pipeline. And both feed one place homeowners go looking for a builder.
You'd rather be on the tools than sat at a screen marketing yourself. So SiteDesk does it off the jobs you've already finished, then puts the work where homeowners go looking for a builder. That place is Venio.
Venio is the website homeowners go to when they want a builder, the same sort of thing as Houzz or Checkatrade. The difference is you don't pay to be on it. It comes with SiteDesk.
Every plan includes a free Venio listing. Sign a job off and a tidy page of that work, the customer's details taken out, goes up on your Venio profile on its own. Someone looking for a builder in your area sees real finished jobs and real reviews, not just your name on a list.
/ How it's different
There's plenty out there already. It splits into two kinds, and SiteDesk isn't either of them.
/ Plans
The surveys of the trade put the paperwork at somewhere between 7 and 18 hours a week, and most builders will know their own week sits in there somewhere. The low end is Powered Now's number, the high end is Tradify's. SiteDesk doesn't claim to wipe all of it out. On our own early reckoning, still to be checked against the pilot, it leaves you about an hour a day, around 5 hours a week of reading things over and saying yes. For a general builder that's roughly £350 a week of your time handed back. And because it runs off your phone through the day, on site and between jobs, none of it lands on your own evening any more.

Yes, it costs more a month than a job app. A job app like Tradify or Powered Now runs from about £28 to £34 a user a month, Fergus £35 to £45; they tidy the admin up onto a screen and leave you to type it in. SiteDesk costs more because it does the typing, so the work goes away instead of moving to a new app. Set against your own time, the builder trying it first put it best: the monthly number looks like a lot at first, but worked out by the week it's under £200, and that's obviously fair. All prices exc. VAT. Every firm runs on its own dedicated server with its own AI subscription, and both are in the price. The server, the software and the AI are all in there, we run the lot for you. Cancel any month.
/ From the firm trying it first
"I've been on the tools over twenty years. The building was never the hard bit. It's the paperwork that follows you home. This does the office and still lets me have the last word on everything before it goes out."Dale Smith, G. L. Smith & Sons · family builders, Hertfordshire
