When your building business starts to grow, it’s tempting to think the only way to keep on top of everything is to take on a site manager. After all, more jobs usually mean more time on the road, more calls, more chasing, and more people to coordinate.
But before you commit to the salary, van, and ongoing costs, ask yourself – could BuildProjex do the job instead?
The smarter, leaner alternative to hiring
BuildProjex is the UK’s purpose-built job and task management software for residential builders. It keeps every project, task, team member, and customer conversation in one easy-to-use, cloud-based platform. No extra payroll. No extra benefits. No holiday entitlement.
Hiring a site manager could set you back £60,000–£80,000 a year once you’ve added salary, NI, benefits, and vehicle costs. That’s a huge hit to your profits – and you’ll need to win a lot more work just to break even.
With BuildProjex, you get the organisational power of a project manager, without the ongoing cost.
What BuildProjex can do for you
- Assign and track tasks across multiple jobs
- Store all files, notes, and photos in one place
- Keep deadlines visible and achievable
- Communicate clearly with your team and customers
- Manage changes and variations smoothly
- Log everyone’s hours via timesheets
You can access it anytime, anywhere – on-site, in the office, or on your phone in the van. And unlike generic project management tools, BuildProjex is built around the way UK builders actually work.
Affordable, scalable, stress-free
Even with multiple users, BuildProjex costs only a fraction of a full-time hire. As your workload grows, it grows with you – helping you delegate, track, and oversee. The team is here to talk you through the best way forward for your business, with our help.
It’s the perfect balance: the efficiency and oversight you need, without the overheads you don’t.
