“I’m Edward. For years I ran fit-out and refurbishment projects — and I built BuilderDash to fix my own admin chaos.”
Every job ran for weeks, across multiple stages, with several live at once. The work on site was the easy part. It was everything around it that did my head in — quotes agreed over WhatsApp and never reconciled, variations that slipped through and never got charged, progress photos buried three hundred messages deep, and never really knowing the margin on a job until it was finished.
I tried running it from spreadsheets, a calendar, an inbox and a group chat. It mostly held together — until it didn’t. So I built the system I wished I’d had on site: one place for every enquiry, quote, job, photo, hour and invoice, purpose-built for the way project-based contractors actually work.
