Everything a first-time renovator needs

No jargon. No guesswork. Just clear guidance from start to finish.

Your project plan

Tell us what you're building. We'll generate the right sequence of trades, what order things need to happen, and what to watch out for.

Contractor briefs

We write clear, professional instructions for each contractor — what they need to do, when, what materials to use. Send it via WhatsApp link.

Track everything

See where each job is up to. Who's been briefed, what's done, what's next. A simple board — no complexity, no confusion.

What SiteBrief tools handle

The tasks renovators usually pay separate professionals to take care of — chasing trades, pricing the work, talking to a structural engineer when the structure changes. With reference fees for context.

Coordination work

Chasing & programme

Typical project manager fee: £3,000 – £5,000

Chasing trades, tracking the timeline, holding the programme together when everyone's waiting on everyone else.

You get: Plan, This Week, Chase

Pricing work

Estimates & forecasting

Typical quantity surveyor fee: £800 – £1,500

Pricing the work, forecasting cost, answering the question every renovator asks at midnight: is this quote fair?

You get: Money, three-band estimator, forecast

Structural work

Engineer on demand

Open-market study: £275 – £500

When the structure changes you need a real engineer — chartered (MIStructE or MICE), professional indemnity verified. Our network connects you for £100 consultation, £275 desktop study.

You get: a quote from a vetted engineer within a day

For reference

Hiring a project manager and quantity surveyor separately typically runs £4,000 – £7,000, plus a structural engineer's study where the project needs one. SiteBrief Reno is £20 a month, with the engineer's study charged at network rates when you actually need one.

How it works

Tell us about your project

Kitchen, bathroom, extension — whatever you're doing. We ask a few simple questions and generate your project plan automatically.

"I'm renovating a Victorian terrace kitchen — new units, new electrics, new plumbing"

We build your timeline

SiteBrief generates the right sequence of tradespeople — who needs to be there first, who comes second, what can't happen until something else is done.

Week 1 — Builder (strip out). Week 2 — Plumber (first fix). Week 3 — Electrician (first fix). Week 4 — Plasterer...

Send each contractor a brief

One tap sends a clear WhatsApp link to each tradesperson — exactly what they need to do, in plain English. No back-and-forth, no misunderstandings.

Example brief — sent to your plumber

Kitchen first fix — plumbing

Install new supply and waste for kitchen sink at marked position. Capped off ready for units. Cold supply only at this stage — hot water connections after units fitted.

Track who's done what

Each contractor marks their job complete with photos from their phone. You see it instantly. No chasing, no wondering. Everything in one place.

"Managing contractors shouldn't require a construction degree."

SiteBrief was built by someone who's worked construction from both sides — designing the projects in the office, then living with the documentation gripes on their own builds. Renovations don't fail because anyone's incompetent — they fail in the gaps between what was drawn, what was sent, and what got built. SiteBrief is for everyone working in those gaps.
