Additions, garden walls, patios, paving, facade repairs: your masonry company's app, built without code, installs on iPhone and Android phones and also opens in a browser as a web version. Customers book site visits there, visit hours follow the season, each stage of an addition gets its own article, and your past work can be compared before and after.

Three steps still stand between them and the day the mini excavator rolls into their yard. 1. 1 ### The site visit, booked in the app They pick a 45-minute slot. On site, you measure and look at the slope, the soil and the route for the equipment all the way to the back of the lot. No price goes out before this visit. 2. 2 ### The quote, and the customer's homework You send a quote written with your usual tool. On their side, the customer checks with their town or county on what the project requires; an article in the app points them there, without spelling out any rules. 3. 3 ### The dates, in your calendar Once the quote is signed, the job's days go into your Google Calendar as a single event from the first day to the last. If that's also the calendar linked to site visits, no visits can be booked on those days: in peak season, slots thin out without you having to close them. The app books the visit and explains the job; the estimate, the contract and job updates go through your own tools and your phone. ## The site visit, before any quote ### Forty-five minutes on site, and a project described at booking: type, area, equipment access Open a "Site visit" section with 45-minute slots, linked to the Google Calendar of whoever goes out. The booking form asks for the type of project (addition, garden wall, patio, paving or facade), the approximate square footage, the address, and how the equipment gets in: gate width, driveway slope, access from the back or not. Before you leave, you know whether it's a job for a mini excavator or for wheelbarrows. You and the customer both get the confirmation by email, answers included; the event created in your calendar carries them too. Something comes up? The customer cancels from their email, and the 45 minutes open up again. ![](https://portalresize.ww-cdn.com/beautifull_pict/v1/334x573/50x50/6/92/img/1724739089551_31/booking_ia_bloc1.png) ## Winter for visits, the warm months for building ### Wide hours when it freezes, narrow ones in peak season, summer vacation closed ahead of time When it freezes, nobody pours footings or a slab: winter becomes the season for visits and quotes. From December to February, open wide hours, Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons; the customer who wants a patio by May books the visit in January. When jobs start up again, cut the hours back to one or two late afternoons a week: the app doesn't switch seasons by itself, you adjust the hours in the back office. Your summer vacation goes in as exceptional closures, and those days show no slots at all. ![](https://portalresize.ww-cdn.com/beautifull_pict/v1/497x399/50x50/6/92/img/1724739090288_31/booking_ia_bloc2.png) ## The stages of an addition, explained ### Excavation The mini excavator strips the topsoil and digs the footing trenches; the article warns that the yard will be torn up for a few days and says where the dirt goes. ### Footings Concrete is poured into the trenches over the rebar; the article explains why it's left to set before a single wall goes up, and why a frosty morning pushes the pour back. ### Walls going up The walls rise course by course, in concrete block or brick, with openings for the windows and the door: this is when the customer finally sees the size of the new room. ### Roofing Flat or pitched, the roof makes the room weathertight; the article says who handles it, your crew or the roofer you work with. ### Finishing Stucco on the outside, the tie-in with the house, a cleaned-up yard; the article makes clear that the interior, drywall, electrical and floors, goes to other trades. ## Pioneers of no-code 15 years of experience building native apps for businesses and content publishers.

Those things are seen on site. Booked in the app, the visit saves you the phone calls to set it up. **### Can you pour a slab in winter?** Not when it freezes: the water in the concrete would freeze before it sets. In winter, put visits and quotes first; pours wait for milder weeks. If a forecast frost pushes back a slab already scheduled, call the customer involved: the app sends nothing to one person in particular. **### How do I announce that my summer is fully booked?** Publish a news post, "Now booking jobs for September," then a push notification that announces it to everyone, sent right away or scheduled. Update the article on your lead times. Keep the visit section open: a customer who books in June is planning a fall project. **### Can customers follow their job in the app?** Not one by one: the app has no per-job space and never notifies a specific customer. It explains to everyone, one article per stage, what happens between excavation and finishing. News about their own job, the day of the pour, a photo of the footings, goes through your phone, as it does today. **### What permits are needed?** It depends on the project and on where it's built: the customer checks with their city or county. The app spells out no rules and files nothing; an article can say so, next to the stages of the job. **### Can the job deposit be paid in the app?** No. The app knows nothing about your quotes or their signing: booking a visit doesn't charge anything, and the deposit is paid your usual way, outside the app. **### Does the app write my quotes?** No, and it doesn't replace your estimating software. A customer who already has plans for the addition, drawn by an architect or a designer, can send them through a Form section; from the iPhone app, PDFs don't go through, so a photo of the plan does the job.
