EA Builders

In production

Construction & design-build

The system a builder runs projects on — schedule, site crew, attendance, payroll and materials — with a portal where the client watches their own build.

Site to payslip Nothing re-typed

6 per page Payslips printed

Per project Profit tracked live

Before

Projects tracked on a whiteboard and a group chat. Attendance written in a notebook on site, typed into a spreadsheet that evening, then typed again into payroll. Materials counted by walking around and looking. And clients ringing every week to ask how their build was going.

After

One board shows every project and what is holding up the finish date. The crew marked present on site becomes the pay run with nobody re-typing anything. Materials and machines are traceable to the project holding them. And clients check progress themselves, with photographs, instead of ringing the office.

What it does

The parts that matter to the owner

See every project at once

Projects grouped by stage, with a schedule that shows which task is actually holding the completion date rather than just listing everything.

Attendance becomes payroll

The crew is marked present on site and that fills the pay run directly. Casual workers can be paid without being added to the permanent roster, and payslips print six to a page at the end of the period.

Know where your materials and machines are

A company catalogue plus what is sitting on each site, so any pallet of tiles or piece of plant can be traced to the project holding it.

Is this job still making money?

Each project reports its own profitability as costs land — while there is still time to do something about it, rather than at the end.

Clients stop ringing for updates

They sign in to their own project and see the timeline, site photographs, documents and the payment schedule.

Screens

A look inside

The client portal's timeline, listing every milestone from contract signing to turnover with planned and actual dates — Every milestone with the date it was planned for and the date it actually happened. When something slips, the reason sits next to it rather than arriving as a phone call.

The payment schedule, showing contract total, paid to date, outstanding balance and each milestone payment — What has been paid, what is owed, and what triggers the next invoice. The page states plainly that it will never ask for card or bank details.

The builder's own view, listing projects by stage alongside the staff roster and their sign-in codes — The builder's side: projects grouped by stage, and the roster where each person gets their own sign-in code so every site update is correctly attributed.

EA Builders came to us with no logo, no colours and no typeface — so the whole visual identity was designed from nothing alongside the software.

The system grew outwards from one problem. Attendance was being recorded three times: on paper at the site, in a spreadsheet that evening, and again in payroll at the end of the period. Fixing that one chain meant the roster, the projects and the pay run all had to know about each other, and once they did, the rest — materials, plant, project profitability, the client portal — followed naturally from the same information.
