Create my accountSoftware for masons
Every mason,a rock-solid file.
You build what holds the house up, and you answer for it for ten years. The day a crack appears, it's on you to show it comes from the ground, not from your wall. Here is the file that keeps the soil survey and the state of the site, for that day.

Software shouldn't just help you run your business. It should strengthen your credibility with the best clients, and protect your interests the day a job gets tense.
Where a job tips over
With masonry, the problem shows up years later.
You answer for ten years on what you build. A crack, a subsidence, and someone has to say where it comes from. Four moments decide whether it's settled in two words or in a lawsuit.
The crack: minor or serious?
A crack as fine as a hair gets filled in. A wide crack, in a staircase pattern, going right through the wall, that’s the structure moving. The client just sees “a crack” and calls you. To settle it, you have to know how it was at handover.
The ground moving, not your wall
Clay soil shrinks in drought and swells in the rain. It cracks a house without you having laid a single block badly. But to prove it, you need the soil survey and what you did with it.
Ten years, and it's on you to prove it
On what you build, the guarantee runs for ten years, and it's on you to show the damage comes from elsewhere. Without a record, the crack is on you.
Material fronted, payment in stages
The concrete is poured, the blocks are laid, often before you're paid. And the job is settled as it goes. A rough estimate or a forgotten stage, and the cash stops keeping up.
None of these moments is fate. Each one becomes harmless the moment it's written down at the right time.
Trust is won before the first foundation.
When a client hands you their structural work, they know they're committing their house for ten years. Before signing, they look at how you work: do you start from the soil survey, do you frame what you build, can you be found again. At a similar price, the mason who does things in order comes before the one who prices by the block.
Your public page and your past jobs don't manufacture that seriousness. They make it visible, for the client hesitating between you and two cheaper quotes.
The day a crack accuses you, it's all in writing.
What protects you isn't having built well, it's having kept the proof before you left. The soil survey you were handed, the setting-out, the state of the site at handover, what the client approved: gathered and ordered in one place.
When the client says “it's your crack”, you don't argue from memory. You open the file. It shows the soil survey, and it shows how the work was at handover, dated. That's what separates a crack from day one from a crack that's moving, and your work from ground that shifted.
One single way of working, two benefits: it wins you the job, then it covers you on it.
The take-off, the stages, the margin: all in one place.
In structural work, material goes out fast and costly, and the job is paid as it goes. Your take-off, your stage payments and your margins stay up to date in one place. You see whether a job still pays you once the material is counted, not at the end.
And on site, everything is noted from the job: the setting-out, the progress photos, the state at handover, even offline.
What we get asked
The questions you're already asking.
A crack has appeared: is it automatically on me?
No. A fine surface crack gets filled in and doesn't trigger the ten-year guarantee. A wide crack, in a staircase pattern or going through the wall, is another matter. What settles it is knowing how it was at handover, and for that, you have to have noted it.
How do I know if a crack is serious?
Simply put: under 0.2 mm, it’s finish. Over 2 mm, or in a staircase pattern, or going through, or widening over time, it affects the structure. A dated photo at handover lets you compare later.
The house cracked because of the drought: who pays?
If it's the clay soil that moved, it often falls to the owner's insurance. But if you're blamed for under-sizing the foundations for the soil, it's on you. The only defence is the soil survey and what you did with it.
Do I have to replace my quoting software?
The quote isn't the end, it's the first brick of your file. In masonry, what protects you is the soil survey and the state of the site kept for ten years, and that's what we hold.
Does it handle stage payments?
Yes. The stage payments, the progress, the material fronted: everything is tracked, so the cash doesn’t stop keeping up in the middle of the job.
Does it fill in on site?
Yes. The setting-out, the progress photos, the state at handover: everything is captured on the spot, even offline.
The common ground
What secures your project doesn't depend on your trade.
The principle is the same across every job you take on: the agreement holds from the quote, the proof files itself as the work goes, the handover closes cleanly. That's what we call a Secure Contract.
