Why ClientBuild exists

Made by a contractor, for contractors.

ClientBuild was developed from running real residential building projects at Trademark Design & Build in Surrey. We needed one place to see budgets, supplier bills, variations, valuations and client decisions on every job, and nothing on the market fitted the way builders actually work. So we built it, and we run our own projects on it.

FAQ

Straightforward answers.

Subscribe during the launch window and you pay £59+VAT per month. That price is fixed for as long as your subscription stays active — it does not rise on you later. Once the window closes, new customers pay £89+VAT per month. If you cancel and come back afterwards, you'd rejoin at whatever the standard price is then.

It's designed for UK residential builders, extension specialists and design & build contractors running projects with budgets, supplier bills, variations and clients. Trade sections are fully customisable, so it also suits specialist trades who run their own projects.

No. Sign up and you get 14 full days of everything, no card required. You're never charged automatically. If you'd like to carry on after the trial, you choose to subscribe at your founding-member rate.

Upload a photo or PDF of any invoice and the figures are read for you — supplier, invoice number, date, net, VAT and gross, with CIS tracked where it applies and reverse-charge VAT totalled separately. You assign the trade section and your budget updates instantly. ClientBuild helps you track these figures — it is not accounting or tax-filing software, and responsibility for what you file remains yours and your accountant's.

Yes — through the Xero API, included at no extra cost. Bills can be pushed across so you enter them once. Your Xero account remains yours: how CIS and VAT are treated inside Xero is your responsibility and your accountant's. Email support@clientbuild.co.uk if you'd like a hand setting it up.

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Backup, import and restore are built in, and you can export your data at any time — you own it. We recommend taking your own backup regularly, monthly is sensible, and keeping the file somewhere safe like OneDrive or Dropbox.

Yes. Cancel with one click from the billing portal and you won't be charged again.

Take a fortnight. See if it fits.

Set up your first project in minutes and invite a client. No card, no commitment.
