Wollopit for builders

Builders: give clients a portal, not your mobile number. Progress, variations and payments in one place.

Clients texting for updates, variations agreed on site and progress claims chased by email. We build client portals and project systems that keep builds, clients and money on track.

Looking for builder software with a client portal?

Residential and commercial builds generate hundreds of decisions, photos, variations and payments. Most builders manage it across texts, emails and spreadsheets. We build one place for all of it, shaped around how you run jobs.

Wollopit builds project portals, compliance registers, quoting tools and websites for builders around how your sites actually run. We connect the systems you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so the office and the site finally see the same numbers.

05How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your building company: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

06Questions

FAQ

Things builders ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can it work with our estimating and accounting software?

Usually, yes. We connect to the tools you already use for estimating and accounts. Then we build the client-facing and site-facing parts around them.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your building company. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

Can it work alongside the software we already use?

Usually, yes. We connect to your accounting, project and rostering tools and only replace what's holding you back. If something should go we'll explain why before anything changes.

Will it work on site with bad reception?

Yes. Field tools can save everything on the device and sync when the phone finds signal again, so nobody loses a docket or a photo.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
