BoundBuild — Capture. Document. Get Paid.

The problem

Missed variations cost builders real money.

A variation that isn't captured in the moment is a variation you'll fight to get paid for — or quietly absorb.

"A verbal instruction on site. Nobody writes it down. Three weeks later, nobody can prove it."

Every builder we've spoken to knows this conversation. BoundBuild makes sure it ends differently — captured in the moment, with the timestamp to prove it.

How it works

One minute on site. That's all it takes.

If it changes the price or the programme, record it. BoundBuild does the rest.

Record

A foreman captures a 15–60 second voice note, with optional photos, right as it happens.

AI structures

BoundBuild drafts a clear, dated commercial event record — type, location, impacts, who instructed.

Review

The foreman checks and edits before anything is saved. It's their record, not a black box.

Dispatch
