Why We Built DoneBuild
We started DoneBuild because we kept hearing the same story from small remodeling crews over and over again:
- “We do great work. But the paperwork slows everything down.”
- “Clients drag their feet on approvals.”
- “Payments take forever.”
- “We lose change orders in texts.”
Most crews aren’t struggling because of the work. The work is the easy part.
The bottleneck is everything around the work - quotes, signatures, deposits, progress payments, client communication, and scattered files.
Large companies have software.
Small, 2–5 person crews don’t. They patch everything together with PDFs, iPhone notes, and group texts. And they lose time, money, and credibility because of it.
Existing softwares exist. But they have too many bells and whistles, too complicated and heavy, too expensive.
The work isn’t the problem.
The workflow is.
So we built DoneBuild to fix that - a simple, sharp tool that helps small crews look more professional, get approvals instantly, and get paid on time without all the paperwork chaos.
Not bloated software.
Not corporate construction management tools.
A simple system that helps you:
- Create estimates in minutes
- Get approvals instantly
- Track change orders without confusion
- Send clean Stripe invoices
- Get paid faster
- Look more professional without adding “office work” to your day
No complexity. No fluff. Just the essentials you actually need to run smoother, close jobs faster, get paid on time, and actually enjoy the business they’re building.
DoneBuild is built for small remodelers - not giant construction companies.
If you’re one of the early crews using this, thank you. You’re shaping the product with real-world feedback, and we're building this with you, not for you.
