What we do
Build Paperless runs the whole job. We give general contractors a job, workflow and team-management platform, give subcontractors their own job-management app, build websites that feed straight into your CRM, migrate your data in and out without lock-in, and ship custom estimating modules for your trade.
Two platforms, one connected system
Whether you run the job or turn up to do the work, there is a Build Paperless platform built for you, and they talk to each other.
For General Contractors
Job, workflow & team management
A single platform for general contractors to manage jobs, workflows and their whole team, coordinating the subcontractors they hire from first estimate to final handover.
- Estimates, contracts and selections
- Scheduling, site diary and progress claims
- Coordinate every subcontractor on the job
- Client portal, documents and payments
For Subcontractors
Job management
A dedicated job-management platform for subcontractors to quote, schedule, track and invoice their own work. Run it standalone, or connect it to the general contractors you work for so jobs and paperwork flow both ways.
- Quote and win work fast
- Schedule crews and track job progress
- Timesheets, purchase orders and invoicing
- Accept and coordinate jobs from general contractors
Websites that feed your CRM
We build websites for trades and builders who use Build Paperless, and we hook every lead straight into the business CRM. New enquiries automatically kick off customer onboarding and lead workflows, so a website visitor becomes a tracked job without anyone re-keying a thing. That is what makes Build Paperless a truly all-in-one platform, where your marketing, your leads and your jobs live in one system.
- A professional website built for your business
- Every lead captured and pushed into your CRM
- Automated customer onboarding and lead follow-up
- No separate website builder, form tool or CRM to stitch together
Customer spotlightReign Grind and Coat
A live example of the all-in-one setup. We built their website and wired every enquiry directly into their Build Paperless CRM, so onboarding and lead workflows run automatically, from first click to booked job, all in one place.

Switching tools should not mean losing your history. We run full, sanitised data migrations from your existing platforms, and because we are data agnostic, your data moves out just as easily as it moves in.
With or without an API
We migrate from platforms that have an API and from those that do not, sanitising and mapping your data into Build Paperless whichever way it has to come out.
Move in and out
We support moving data both into and out of your existing tools. Bring your projects, contacts, jobs and history across cleanly, customised to how you work.
Data agnostic, no lock-in
Just as easily as we move data into Build Paperless, we let you take it back out. Your data is yours, so you never feel trapped by the platform.
Custom estimating modules for your trade
We build custom estimate modules trade by trade, in a module marketplace that grows every week. Each module knows the materials, rates and rules of its trade, so estimates come out accurate and fast. 17+ modules are live today, with new ones shipping continuously.
One platform instead of five
Most general contractors end up paying for a job-management tool, a separate estimating tool, a website builder, a CRM and a migration consultant, none of which talk to each other. Tools built for large commercial contractors bury small residential teams in features they will never use.
Build Paperless is different. The management platform, the trade app, the website, the CRM, the migrations and the estimating modules are one connected system, so a lead from your site becomes a job, a job becomes an estimate, and an estimate becomes an invoice without leaving the platform or re-keying data.
And because we are data agnostic with no lock-in, trying us is low-risk: we migrate you in, and if it is ever not right, we help you take your data back out.
Frequently asked questions
What is Build Paperless?
Build Paperless is an all-in-one platform for residential construction. It gives general contractors a job, workflow and team-management platform to run their jobs and coordinate the subcontractors they hire, and gives subcontractors their own job-management app. It also builds lead-capturing websites, handles complete data migrations, and offers custom estimating modules per trade.
Who is Build Paperless for, general contractors or subcontractors?
Both. General Contractors get a full job, workflow and team-management platform for managing projects and the subcontractors on them. Subcontractors get a dedicated job-management platform to quote, schedule, track and invoice their own work, used standalone or connected to the general contractors they work for.
Do you build websites too?
Yes. We build websites for trades and builders who use Build Paperless, and we hook every website lead straight into the business CRM. That automates customer onboarding and lead workflows, so a new enquiry becomes a tracked job without re-keying, which makes Build Paperless a truly all-in-one platform.
Can you migrate my data from another tool?
Yes. We run complete, customised data migrations from other tools, including platforms with and without an API, and every migration is sanitised. We move data both into and out of your existing tools. We are data agnostic, so it is just as easy to move your data out of Build Paperless as into it, and you are never locked in.
Do you have estimating modules for my trade?
We offer custom estimate modules built per trade, in a module marketplace with 17+ modules that grows every week as we build new ones for trades and users. If a module for your trade is not live yet, it is likely on the way.
Is Build Paperless suitable for a solo general contractor or subcontractor?
Yes. A solo subcontractor can run their whole business on the job-management platform, and a solo general contractor can run projects and the subcontractors they hire on the builder platform. You can start small and add websites, migrations and estimating modules as you grow.
