For Property Owners
YOUR MAJOR PROJECT, HASSLE-FREE.
Planning an extension, renovating your kitchen, or converting a loft? When your builder uses BuildHub, you’ll be kept in the loop on every detail—every stage, every option, every cost. Remove doubt. No more late-night discussions. No more unexpected surprises.
We Understand
Construction projects can feel overwhelming. They don't have to be.
You're investing more in this project than in anything aside from your own home. This is a new venture for you. You're unsure whether the steel recently installed meets the necessary standards. You're questioning whether the "extra £400 for the lintel" is fair or excessive. You're relying on someone you've only known for six weeks to shape the environment where your children will grow.
That constant sense of unease is precisely what BuildHub aims to eliminate.
Always Fully Informed
SPEAK DIRECTLY TO YOUR BUILDER. ANYTIME.
It's Sunday evening. While scrolling Pinterest you spot a tap you love and start picturing how it will sit in your new kitchen. Or you suddenly remember you needed to check on the bathroom door. Or it's Tuesday at 7am and you want to see what tasks are planned for today.
With BuildHub you simply open the app and send a message. Your builder stays informed. Everything is kept tidy—no trawling through group chats, no messages lost in WhatsApp, no crucial details missed.
And if your question has already been answered during the project? Ask BuildHub's AI assistant for an instant reply pulled directly from your project's documents.
- Message your builder, project manager or any team member via direct messages. Share ideas or raise concerns easily from your mobile device. Quickly search all conversations—everything is kept neatly organised.
Monitor Your Commitments
DECISIONS WITH CLARITY
Three weeks into your project, your builder tells you the kitchen tiles you chose are no longer available — would an alternative be acceptable? You agree straightaway. Six weeks on, you find yourself unsure whether you approved that exact tile or a similar option, and whether it was at the same price or cost more.
BuildHub logs every change precisely. When your builder proposes any adjustment — a substitute material, an altered cost, or additional scope — you get a clear view of what’s changing and the associated costs. You decide to approve or decline. Your choice is recorded securely, with the date and the exact amount.
No more “I was under the impression we agreed on something different.” No unexpected surprises on the final invoice.
- All modifications shown with their costs before you give the go-ahead
- One-tap acceptance or rejection directly from your smartphone
- Thorough documentation of every choice, accessible at any time
Process Payments with Confidence
Always be aware of your financial position.
Stage payments can cause stress. You’re handing over substantial sums of money, and it can be unclear what each instalment is meant to cover. Has the billed work actually been completed? Which tasks are still outstanding? Is there a payment deadline you might have missed?
BuildHub delivers a continuous, clear view of your financial position. Each stage payment is itemised, showing its purpose, due date, what’s been paid and what remains outstanding. Any scope changes are recorded separately, allowing you to track how the total project cost has evolved since the start.
- Access the full payment schedule from day one
- Confirm each payment as it posts
- Outstanding balance always displayed — no surprises on final totals
The Element That Matters Over Time
EVERY DOCUMENT. EVERY PHOTO. FOREVER.
Two years after your construction project you may need to remortgage. The bank requests the structural calculations for your loft conversion. Or, if you’re selling your home, a buyer’s solicitor will ask for the building regulations certificate. Or there’s a leak and you need to pinpoint the exact position of every pipe.
Without BuildHub, you’re rifling through disordered folders, trying to track down a builder who’s long since unavailable, all the while hoping someone recorded the work before the plasterboard went up.
With BuildHub, everything is immediately at hand. Drawings, certificates and photos of insulation taken prior to coverage, together with detailed specifications for each steel beam and every wiring layout, are neatly organised. Years on, when you need that critical information, it remains readily accessible to you—forever.
- Photographs of steelwork, insulation and electrical wiring before they are concealed
- All certificates, drawings and planning documents securely stored in one place
- Records safeguarded against accidental loss or alteration

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER.
Is there a charge for using BuildHub?
No — BuildHub is paid for by your builder. As a homeowner, you won't pay anything. You only need the invitation link they send.
Do I need to install anything?
No app store download is required. BuildHub runs directly in your phone’s browser. If you prefer immediate access from your home screen, you can add a shortcut—this is entirely optional.
Can my partner be granted access as well?
Certainly — ask your builder to add both of you now. Each of you will be given a distinct login.
What steps should you take if you discover problems with the workmanship?
Every message, image and decision is securely archived in BuildHub. If a problem arises, you maintain a complete record of all agreements, actions taken and timelines. That makes resolving issues significantly faster.
If your contractor isn’t using BuildHub, do this: - Ask them to join: invite the contractor to the project in BuildHub and offer a short walkthrough — most contractors sign up quickly when they see the time-savings. - Keep records in BuildHub anyway: upload drawings, schedules, invoices and meeting notes yourself so you have a single, auditable project record. - Share documents externally: export or send PDFs/links from BuildHub so the contractor can work from the latest versions even if they’re not on the platform. - Log communications: enter decisions, change requests and approvals into BuildHub immediately after you speak or email so nothing is lost. - Offer practical alternatives: suggest they use limited access or a single project account if full signup is a barrier. - If they refuse consistently: consider making BuildHub use a contract requirement or appoint a different contractor willing to collaborate on the platform. If you want, BuildHub support can provide a quick onboarding session for your contractor.
If you want the assurance BuildHub provides, discuss the option to use it with your builder. They can leverage the Free Starter tier to evaluate it on your project at no cost.
Will I retain access after the project ends?
Certainly — you’ll have access to your project information for the full duration of your engagement with your builder. All documents, images and decisions will be retained for years after project completion.
Is my information protected?
Certainly — BuildHub adheres to GDPR, ensuring your personal data is encrypted and kept secure. Access to project information is restricted solely to people you invite.
What actions should I take if I encounter an issue with my builder?
BuildHub functions as a platform tool, not as an intermediary between you and your builder. Nonetheless, because every conversation, decision and document is recorded, you’ll have a full, timestamped record should you need to formally raise a complaint in the future.
CHECK WITH YOUR BUILDER ABOUT BUILDHUB.
If you're about to start a new project or are already underway, contact your builder to integrate BuildHub. It costs them nothing to get started, providing both sides with peace of mind from day one.
If they choose not to use it and lack an alternative providing comparable visibility — take into account the reasons for that choice.
