What's New in BuiltUp 1.0.8: Mission Control is here. The new Site Operations view gives you a live aerial view of every active site: who's clocked in, who's missing, which materials are delayed, and which sites are burning margin right now. It's like having eyes on every job without leaving your truck. Smarter scope generation. The AI Architect now lets you toggle between Partial Scope (uses your existing catalog) and Full Buildout (generates every room, trade, and material at industry rates). Voice dictation + blueprints + full buildout = a complete priced scope in under a minute. Trade quotes, sorted. Got a plumber who quoted £8,500 for the job? Tap "Add Trade Quote" on any room, tell us if materials are included or labour-only, set your management markup, done. It slots straight into your scope with the right cost structure. New onboarding experience. First-time setup now starts with a welcome screen, walks you through setting your business type, trade roles with day rates, default markups, and cost-per-sqm benchmarks. Three minutes and your workspace is properly calibrated. Under the hood: Pricing intelligence is now capturing every accepted and rejected quote to build regional benchmarks that get smarter over time. Your rates, your data, your competitive edge.

"We've been listening to your feedback and have rolled out some great new updates to help you manage your business even better: Smoother Performance: We've included general under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes for a more reliable experience while you're on the go."

Bug fixes and improvements. Quote builder now correctly pulls material names added from the web app.

Ironclad Contracts & Agreements Get it in writing before you break ground. You can now generate, edit, and send contracts straight from your active projects. We’ve loaded 21 industry-standard templates—covering homeowner agreements, subbie contracts, commercial terms, NDAs, and Change Orders. Auto-fill project details, slap your company logo on top, set an expiry date, and fire it off. The system automatically pulls from your project contacts (and handles it perfectly when a client insists on using three different email addresses). Bulletproof Finish Selections Stop the endless "I thought we picked the other tile" debates. Manage your specs and finish selections room-by-room with our upgraded tools. You can now snap a picture on-site or upload reference photos directly to a selection, plus use our refreshed colour picker. Now your clients, your QS, and the lads on site know exactly what is getting installed. Live Pricing & "Good, Better, Best" Tiers Value engineering just got a lot faster. Your scope totals now calculate in real-time as you tweak the numbers. Need to give the client options? Toggle between Good, Better, and Best material tiers per room to instantly compare budget specs against premium finishes. Room badges show you exactly which tier is active, and your choices stay locked in automatically for your next session. Smarter Takeoffs & Measurements We’ve sharpened the measurement tools to speed up your takeoffs. Drop in standard units on the fly (m², sqft, lm, kg, etc.) or type in custom units for specific trades. You can now rename sub-assemblies and pop open a dedicated dimensions panel for quick L × W × H inputs—automatically calculating area and volume for your concrete, paint, or flooring calcs. Switch seamlessly between metric and imperial. Site Cleanup (Bug Fixes & Tweaks) Branding fixed: Contract previews now properly show your company logo, header, and footer. Tiers saving: Fixed a snag where your Good/Better/Best selections weren't saving to the server. Clean numbers: Sorted out currency formatting so your bottom-line totals read perfectly. Smoother mobile work: Upgraded the editor layout so your phone's keyboard no longer covers the input fields when typing up a scope. Access fixes: Ironed out subscription and trial detection bugs so you can get straight to work without getting locked out.

We’ve rolled out the heavy artillery to keep your jobs running smooth and your bottom line safe. Contracts & E-Sign: Lock in the job instantly with 21 attorney-drafted templates and digital signatures. No more printers in the truck. Change Orders: Turn "while you're here" requests into billable, signed agreements in seconds. Never do free work again. Finish Selections: Get client choices in writing. No more "I thought we picked the other tile" arguments. AI Schedule Guard: We’ve streamlined the progress tracker and added a new AI Guard that watches your back for weather and material delays before they hit your timeline. Under the Hood: We’ve tightened the bolts, squashed bugs, and polished the interface so it works as hard as you do.

Take Command. We’ve overhauled your Dashboard to give you the full picture instantly. Dive deeper into project details and scopes, let Auto-Reminders chase down your invoices for you, and track every item with our new Purchase Order Statuses (Received, Late, or Issues). Plus, a sharper Activity Log and a smoother, bug-free experience. Control never felt this good.

What’s New in 1.0.2: AI Scheduler & Weather Guard: Let the app handle the timeline and the rain or material delivery delays. Quick Invoices: Fire off single-item or one-off invoices in seconds. Scope & Quotes: Smoother editing, faster sending. Materials Overhaul: Purchase orders just got a major upgrade. The Snag List: Bugs squashed and UX tightened.

Enhanced Project Views: Visualize your projects like never before with our new Map View. Smarter Notifications: We’ve updated our notification logic, giving you separate badges for unread system alerts and direct messages so you never miss a beat.
