We do not put a number on this page because no two firms run
the same way. Some only need workforce and timesheets to start.
Others want the lot from day one. We talk to you for fifteen
minutes, work out what you actually need, and come back with a
flat monthly figure on email. No upsell, no per person fees, no
extras you did not ask for.

§ 01How pricing works
Three rules. That is the model.
We have heard every flavour of clever pricing in this category.
Per seat, per project, per active user, per gigabyte. None of it
fits how a real building firm operates. So we wrote ours down on
the back of one envelope.
01
It is never per person.
Workers, site staff, office staff, the directors and the
subbies all get a login at no extra cost. Add the gang on a
Tuesday afternoon and the figure on the invoice does not move
on the next bill. We exist to put more people on the platform,
not to charge you for putting them on.
02
You pay for the bits you use.
A small firm might only need workforce, timesheets and a
tidy way of getting numbers into Sage. A bigger one might want
the lot from day one, including subbie portal, plant register
and bespoke reporting. We size the platform to that, and the
quote follows. Usually cheaper than buying a fixed bundle full
of things you will never log into.
03
The quote is the bill.
The figure we send you on email is the figure that comes out
of the bank account every month. No setup fee, no implementation
fee, no premium tier with the useful features behind a wall, no
metered API charges, no upsell calls in month four. If we
forgot something, that is on us, not on your invoice.
§ 02Why we will not charge per person
What per seat pricing actually does to a firm.
Most rivals in this category charge somewhere between £15 and
£50 per person, per month. It looks tidy on the website. It
falls apart the moment you take on a labour gang for a fortnight.

§ 03What the quote includes
One figure. One bill. Everything below is in it.
When we say bespoke we do not mean we will think of more things
to charge you for later. The quote is a flat monthly figure
and the list below is what sits inside it.
01
Setup and configuration
We stand the platform up against your trading entities, your
chart of accounts, your CIS bands, your project codes and your
payroll calendar. You turn up to a working system on day one.
£0 setup fee, ever
02
Training, on your jobs
We train your foremen and site managers on the platform using
your live projects, not a demo company. Office staff sit a
separate session covering finance, payroll feeds and reporting.
Office and site, both included
03
Data migration
We move your data over from Sage, Xero, BrightPay, Excel,
Dropbox and OneDrive ourselves. You do not lift a spreadsheet.
Larger or messier moves are sized into the same flat quote.
No charge, however messy
04
UK support, UK hours
Phone, email and WhatsApp during UK working hours, answered by
a person in our UK office who has read your account first. No tier
one queue. No chatbot pretending to help.
UK office, working hours
05
Updates and new features
Everything we ship goes to every customer. There is no premium
tier holding the useful features back. If a new module lands,
and your quote covers that area, you get it on the next deploy.
All customers, same release
06
Integrations and exports
Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, BrightPay, OneDrive, WhatsApp Business
and roughly fifty other connectors are part of the platform.
CDM 2015, CIS, MTD VAT and RIDDOR exports are not paid extras.
No per integration fees
§ 04The bits the small print usually hides
How billing actually works.
Everything below is on the standard contract. We did not put
any of it behind a sales call. If you find yourself reading
it twice, that is the point.
Monthly or annual
Choose at sign up. Annual saves you the equivalent of two
months. Monthly rolls month to month and you cancel by sending
us an email.
VAT
Whatever figure we agree, it is exclusive of VAT. Standard UK
rate applies. Your invoice is MTD compliant and downloadable
from your account at any time.
How you pay
Direct Debit through GoCardless or card through Stripe. We do
not accept cheques and we cannot invoice for less than three
months in advance.
Free trial, in plain English
14 days, full access, no credit card. Real data, your projects,
your team. At the end you either tell us to switch billing on,
or we archive the workspace. That is the whole flow.
Setup and migration
Both are inside the quote. We do the data move, the
configuration and the training as part of standing the
platform up. There is no separate implementation invoice.
Leaving
You can export everything at any time, in CSV and PDF, with a
single click. If you leave, we hand back a clean dataset
within five working days. Nothing is held hostage.
Price changes
Annual customers are locked at the figure they signed at, for
that year. Monthly customers get 90 days written notice, in
plain English, before any change to a quoted figure.
Adding people, adding sites
Free. The figure we agreed does not move because you took on
a labour gang, opened a new site, or onboarded ten more
subbies for a single project.
§ 05The pricing questions
The questions you are actually asking right now.
The full FAQ lives at /faqs.
These eight are the ones we hear in every pricing conversation.
01Why is there no price on the page?+
Because no two building firms run the same way. A six person fit out crew and a forty person groundworks contractor have completely different needs, and putting one number on the page would be either too high for one or too low for the other. We would rather spend fifteen minutes talking to you and come back with a figure that fits, on email, in writing.
02Do you charge per worker, per helmet, or per active user?+
No. Not now and not as you grow. Workers, site staff, office staff, subbies and directors all get a login as part of the quote. Add a gang of twelve next month and the figure does not move on the next bill. Drop them when the job ends and the figure does not move either. The bill is the firm bill.
03Are there any hidden fees? Setup fees? Per integration fees?+
No setup fee. No implementation fee. No per integration fee, ever. Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, BrightPay, OneDrive and the fifty odd other connectors are part of the platform. The figure on the quote is the figure on the invoice. If we forget to include something, that is on us, not on your bill.
04Roughly, how does it compare to per seat tools we have looked at?+
Most rivals charge between £15 and £50 per person per month. With fifty people on a typical month, that is around £750 to £2,500 a month, before you add the gang for the next job. With us, you still get unlimited users for a fair, quoted figure, and adding more people does not change it. Whether the actual number we quote you is bigger or smaller depends on which parts of the platform your firm needs.
05Can we trial it on real jobs without committing?+
Yes. The 14 day trial is the full platform, not a sandbox. We import a slice of your real data so you can see what your Friday looks like on Unibuild, not a demo company. No credit card. No follow up sequence. If it is not for you, tell us by email and we archive the workspace.
06Is my data still mine if I leave?+
Always. You can export the lot in CSV and PDF at any time from inside the account. If you cancel, we hand back a tidy bundle within five working days and delete the live copy after thirty. We do not retain anonymised analytics, we do not sell aggregated data, and we are UK hosted with UK law as the baseline.
07Do you do annual deals, charity rates, or trade body member rates?+
Annual billing saves you the equivalent of two months on the agreed figure. Beyond that, we do not run promotions, founders rates, or trade body deals. The quote we send you is the same exercise we run for everyone, and the figure stands on its own.
08What is the easiest way to get a number?+
Email [email protected] with rough headcount, where you are and which areas you want covered, or ring +44 7587 557546 in UK working hours. We come back with a written figure on email, usually the same day. No call back queue.
§ 06Ask for a quote
Tell us a little about the firm. We do the rest.
Five fields. Two minutes. We come back with a written figure on
email, usually the same working day. If you would rather just
ring, the number is at the bottom of every page.
