Sound familiar, builders?
- Three or four sites live at once with no single view of any of them
- Subcontractors turning up on the wrong day, or not at all
- Costs landing weeks after the work, long after they could be acted on
- Site documents scattered across email, phones and someone's ute
- Progress claims delayed because nobody has collated what was done
Flowody replaces the spreadsheets, paper forms, and group chats with one platform your whole builder business runs on.
How builders run jobs in Flowody
Building differs from the individual trades in one structural way: the work is coordinating other people. The software problem is therefore less about doing the job and more about knowing the state of four jobs at once.
Several sites live at once, on one calendar
The hardest part of running four sites is not any individual site — it is that no one view shows all of them, so the site that is quietly falling behind is the one nobody looked at this week. Flowody puts every worker and every booking on one drag-and-drop calendar with day, week and month views. Each site is its own record with its own jobs, so you can look at one site in isolation or at everything at once, and reassigning a person from one site to another is a drag rather than a round of phone calls.
Coordinating subcontractors without a group chat
Most build coordination happens in text messages, which means the schedule exists only in the builder's head and is invisible to everyone else. Putting each visit in as a scheduled job against the site gives every trade the same source of truth — with the address, the access notes, the files and the photos already attached. When a trade slips a day, moving the booking updates the assigned person rather than starting another round of calls. Worth being clear about scope: Flowody schedules and records the work, it does not run tenders or manage subcontractor payment claims.
Costs against budget while you can still act
On a build, cost information that arrives at the end is a post-mortem. Flowody records materials and labour against each job as the work happens and compares them to the quoted value, so overruns surface while the job is still running. Labour comes from check-in and check-out rather than reconstructed timesheets, which is usually where the discrepancy between the estimate and the reality actually lives.
One customer, many sites, many contacts
Building work rarely maps one customer to one address. A developer may have several lots, the person who signs off on site is often not the person who pays, and the same client may reappear on a different project two years later. Customers, sites and contacts are separate but linked records, so history accumulates against both the client and the individual address. The lot you built in 2024 still has its quotes, invoices, photos and documents attached when someone rings about it.
Site documents that can be found later
A build generates more documents than any other kind of trade work, and their whole value is retrievability two years on. Every job has folders for certificates and reports, so plans, permits, engineering documents, warranties and signed forms can be uploaded and organised by customer and site. The limit, stated plainly: Flowody stores and organises those documents. It is not a document control system, it does not generate compliance certificates, and it does not lodge anything with a building regulator or certifier on your behalf.
Everything builders need in one place
Multiple sites in one view
Every site is its own record with its own jobs, documents and history, and one drag-and-drop calendar shows every worker and booking across all of them.
Job costing against budget
Materials and labour are recorded against the job as the work runs and compared to the quoted value, so overruns show up while the build is still going.
Site documents stored per job
Upload plans, permits, warranties, certificates and reports into per-job folders, organised by customer and site so they are findable years later.
Site safety forms and sign-off
Build your own SWMS, site inductions, hazard reports and inspection sheets, complete them on site, and capture signatures on the device or by secure signing link.
Builders FAQs
Can Flowody manage several building sites at once?
Yes. Each site is a separate record with its own jobs, documents, quotes, invoices and photos, and a single drag-and-drop calendar shows every worker and booking across all active sites, with day, week and month views.
Does Flowody handle subcontractor scheduling?
Flowody schedules and records visits against each site, so every trade sees the same address, notes and files, and moving a booking updates the assigned person. It does not run tenders, manage subcontractor payment claims, or handle subcontractor licensing.
Can I see whether a build is running over budget?
Yes. Materials and labour are recorded against each job as the work happens and compared to the quoted value, so overruns are visible during the build rather than at the end. Labour hours come from job check-in and check-out.
Does Flowody store building certificates and permits?
Yes, as files. Each job has dedicated folders for certificates and reports, so plans, permits, warranties and signed documents can be uploaded and organised by customer and site. Flowody stores and organises them — it does not generate compliance certificates and does not lodge anything with a regulator or certifier.
