Online booking

The survey books itself. The wall, less so

A bank is not something you price down the phone. The client takes a slot and confirms the address; the figure follows once you have seen the ground.

Smart scheduling

Dig day, drainage day, building days

A wall is several days that happen to be one job. Excavation, land drain, courses and backfill each get their own, and they move as a set.

Built for your trade

Built for the walls you are actually asked to build

Sleeper wall along a garden boundary

The wall most gardens ask for, and the one most often quoted against something more permanent. Both go on the one estimate.

Blockwork wall to a structural engineer’s calculations

The design, the reinforcement and the calculations go on the quote as lines, rather than arriving as a phone call after signing.

Gabion baskets holding a garden bank

Priced by the basket, the fill and the cartage, with the geotextile behind them as its own line rather than folded into a rate.

Engineering brick wall on a terraced garden

Weep holes, the land drain and the coping ride as options, so the client can see what each part of the wall is actually costing.

Cut and fill to level a sloping garden

Two low walls and a flat lawn between them. One job, with excavation, drainage and building scheduled as their own days.

Driveway wall carrying a surcharge

A wall with a car above it is a different wall. The surcharge changes the design and the figure, and it is recorded from the survey on.

Land drain retro-fitted behind a wall that weeps

A repair that begins with a dig. Photograph what is behind the face, quote from the photographs, and the figure explains itself.

Rebuilding a bulging garden wall

Demolition, muck away and the new wall as separate lines, so the client can see what the old one has quietly been costing them.

Party wall excavation next to a neighbour

Notices, surveyor time and the extra care go on the quote, and both addresses stay on the record from the first visit onwards.

The slope at the back keeps washing out over the path. Can you come and look before we take the fence down?

The wall nobody can price from a photo.

Half the enquiries are a picture of a bank and a question. They arrive as a request with the address on them rather than expiring in a full diary.

Which quotes were opened, and which went quiet.

A wall is a saved-up-for job, so a quote can sit for two months and still land. See what has been read and what has been signed, and the one worth a call is obvious.

The half of the wall nobody will ever see again.

Photograph the drainage, the membrane and the stone before the face covers them, and it is dated and attached to the job. Five years on, that is the only version of events that still exists. Customers never see these notes.

Where every wall has got to, without ringing the crew.

A wall spends days in each stage rather than minutes, so the stage a job sits in is worth more to you than the hour it was meant to start.

One sloping garden, three walls.

Oak sleepers, gabion baskets, or reinforced blockwork with a rendered face. The same run, three figures, one document.

  • Priced off the run, not off a hunch

    Length, courses, drainage and muck away are separate lines, so a client querying the figure can be shown the part it came from.

  • Three walls, one document

    Sleepers, gabions and blockwork side by side with one recommended, so the client compares walls rather than ringing two more builders.

  • Signed by typing their name

    They accept from the phone, the name and the time are stored against it, and the accepted quote becomes a booking carrying its lines.

  • The engineering priced as an option · Pro

    A land drain and clean stone behind it, another course, engineering to BS 8002 once the wall is past what permitted development covers. Ticking one moves the quoted figure, so nothing is written out twice.

A concrete sleeper wall quote, itemised and ready to send.

The fortnight waiting on calculations.

Engineers and building control keep their own hours. The build sits on the board in plain sight and is dragged to its real week when the paperwork lands.

  • Drag it rather than rebuild it

    Move the build to the week the calculations cleared. Excavation and drainage follow it instead of being written out again.

  • Nothing lands on top of itself

    Two walls cannot take the same gang on the same day. The database declines the overlap, which is rather firmer than remembering.

  • The client hears, if you want them to

    Switch on the moment for a rescheduled booking and the new date goes out. Leave it off and nothing is sent at all.

Pro

Paid before the tools go back on.

Sleepers, stone and plant hire all leave your account before the first course is level. Record what comes in for nothing, or take cards on Pro.

  • Cash and transfer cost nothing

    Mark the wall paid when the transfer lands. Recording money by hand is free on any plan and is going to stay that way.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send a card link and it is settled from the phone. A direct charge, so the money is yours and it lands in your own account.

  • Split it across the build

    Part at the dig, the rest at handover. Staged requests come with Pro, and they go out after the job has been booked.

Past your coverage. Decline politely, or make an exception.

The one just past the line.

A wall out past Ancoats is settled on the first screen, not on the morning you were meant to be there. They can still send an enquiry, and whether it is worth the tow stays your call.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your retaining walls business.

Scheduling

Excavation, drainage and building days sit on one board, so the digger and the gang are never promised to two gardens on the same morning.

Bookings

One record per wall: the survey, the courses, the photographs of the land drain and the day the last of the backfill went in behind it.

Online booking

Clients book the survey on your page against a real address. Pricing a bank still wants you standing on it rather than reading a form.

Inbox

The enquiry, the quote you sent and the photographs from the dig sit on the wall they belong to, not across two phones and a text thread.

Estimates

Quote as you price: run, courses, land drain, stone and muck away as separate lines, with sleepers and blockwork side by side.

Customers

Builders and landscapers come back. Their addresses, what you charged and every wall you have put in for them sit on the one card.

Territories

Set the ground the digger and the grab lorry genuinely cover. A wall two hours out should not book itself into a Tuesday morning.

Team

Add the gang, note who runs the machine, and give the office the job list and the diary without handing over the money screens too.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money lands in your own account.

Common questions.

Usually not, though the heights worth knowing are the boundary ones: a wall is permitted development up to two metres, or one metre where it fronts a highway, and a wall that lifts the ground behind it can be read as a raised platform instead. Bookables carries the quote and the job, not the application, so the certifier or the engineer belongs in the option that needs one.

Excavating within three metres of a neighbouring structure and below the level of its foundations engages the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, so the notice goes out well before the digger does. That is your surveyor’s job, not ours. What sits here is both addresses, the access agreed and every message, on one record.

Yes. Named options on one estimate, each priced on its own lines, with one marked as the one you would build. The client picks a tier and accepts by typing their full name, and the accepted quote becomes a booking carrying its lines. Priced options come with Pro.

On the job. Photographs of the land drain, the geotextile and the clean stone go on the record feed as internal notes with attachments, before the face hides them for good. Years later, when a wall is said to be leaning, that feed is the thing you open. Customers never see it.

It holds the job the design belongs to. Calculations to BS 8002 are attached to the record as a note, the engineered wall is quoted as its own option, and the day the calculations land is the day the build gets dragged onto a real week.

Nothing to begin with. The Free plan carries a monthly booking allowance and asks for no card, and cash or bank transfer recorded by hand is free on any plan. Cards, priced options and staged requests come with Pro. The plan cards on this page carry the figures.
