First release. Plumb - build journal for owner-builders, small builders.
photo timeline, notes, client sharing, written diary transcription
Free try with one project.
Your build deserves a better record than a camera roll.
Plumb is the build journal for owner-builders, sole traders, and anyone managing a construction or renovation project. Capture photos as you go, organise them by stage, add notes, and share progress with clients — all in one place that works even when the site doesn't have signal.
Built for how builders actually work
Take a photo. Add a note. Move on. Plumb gets out of your way. No daily reports to fill in, no team management overhead, no per-seat pricing. Just a clean, chronological record of your build that you'll be glad you kept.
Share progress with clients, on your terms
When it's time to show the client what's happening, share a project view with a single tap. They see what you choose — progress photos, stage updates, key milestones — nothing else. Entry by entry, not the whole job. Invite them free; they log in for privacy. Nothing goes public unless you both agree.
The record that pays for itself
A photo taken before the GIB goes up is worth a lot when something's buried in a wall. Plumb keeps timestamped, organised documentation of every stage — hidden work, inspections, finished surfaces — so you have the evidence when you need it.
Scan your handwritten notes
Already keeping a paper diary on site? Photograph the page and Plumb transcribes it directly into your build record. Your handwriting, your words — now searchable and stored alongside your photos.
Works offline, syncs when you're back
Site conditions mean no signal is normal. Photos and notes queue locally and sync when connectivity returns. Nothing is ever lost.
A complete build story
From first sod to handover, Plumb builds a timeline you can be proud of. When the project wraps, export a shareable report — useful for council documentation, insurance records, or handing over to a new owner.
What's included — Unlimited photos per project — Stage-based timeline view — Notes and trade tags on each entry — Scan handwritten diary pages — transcribed automatically —
Client sharing with tiered access control — Offline capture with background sync — PDF export for handover and compliance — Clean, minimal interface built for the site, not the office
Free to start
Create your first project free. One project, up to 100 photos, 6 short videos.
Upgrade to manage multiple projects and unlock client sharing.
Already using Buildertrend, Jobber, or another site management platform? Plumb works alongside them as a lighter, more personal photo record — for the photos and notes that don't belong in a job management system.
