Fifteen apps.
One platform.
Same data.
Most contractors already pay for bits of software that never quite meet in the middle. The comparison below is a simple way to see what changes when those bits sit inside one platform instead of arguing across spreadsheets.
Typical UK stack
vs Unibuild.
Illustrative comparison. Your current stack may differ. The shape — fifteen apps stitched together by WhatsApp, spreadsheets and goodwill — is the same on every firm we've onboarded.
Time on site & payroll
Paper timesheets, BrightHR, Connecteam, Clockify, sign-in books, WhatsApp groups for "did you work Saturday?".
Safety & CDM 2015
Paper RAMS in a foreman's van, training matrix in Excel, COSHH on the office wall, RIDDOR in WhatsApp, near-miss in scroll.
Programme & snags
Asta on a desktop the foreman never opens, drawings in Dropbox, snags on a phone, RFIs in email, NEC4 cadence forgotten.
CIS, retentions & P&L
Sage 50 with manual CIS, Excel CVR, Word variation orders, email AfPs, retention log on a Post-it.
Subbies & compliance
Insurance certs in email, RAMS lost in van, AfPs in Word, UTRs in spreadsheet, performance log in someone's head.
Reporting & the board pack
Bookkeeper crunching four spreadsheets on the 28th, frozen exports from last quarter, CVR done by hand, "ask in March".
Fifteen common apps.
One Unibuild login.
The list below is the stack we replaced for the firms we have onboarded so far. Yours will be slightly different. The shape is the same.
