Everything a bricklayer needs in one app
From the first quote to the final payment, Traddie keeps your whole job in one place.
Quote by rate or day
Price brickwork by the thousand, by square metre, or on a day rate, with materials kept separate.
Manage your gang
Assign work, track who is on which site, and keep subcontractor records and CIS status in one place.
CIS done right
Apply 20% / 30% CIS deductions automatically on subcontract invoices, with materials excluded per HMRC rules.
Invoice main contractors
Raise clean invoices with payment and deduction statements the contractor can sign off.
Get paid faster
Send payment links and chase overdue invoices automatically.
Subcontract money
Getting paid properly by the main contractor
Most bricklaying is subcontract, which means somebody else decides when you get paid and how much tax comes off first. The paperwork around that is where the money actually goes missing.
CIS applied, not reverse-engineered in April
Store your status, apply the right 20% or 30% deduction with materials excluded per HMRC rules, and produce payment and deduction statements from the same records. When the contractor deducts a different number, you have your own figures rather than an argument from memory.
- Materials excluded from the deduction automatically
- Payment and deduction statements produced from the invoices themselves
- Records exported for your accountant rather than rebuilt at year end
Check the price before you commit to it
Priced per thousand or per square metre, a small error in the labour allowance is invisible until the job is built. Traddie runs the quote against your own cost rates and flags the estimated cost being over the quote value, the margin sitting under your target, or no materials being entered at all.
The extra course nobody priced
Raise a variation against the job, price it, and send a link. The customer or the contractor approves a gross figure and that number lands on the invoice, which on a site where instructions arrive verbally is the only version that survives.
What the gang actually cost you
Hours logged on the job against materials from receipts and what you billed. The timer proposes the hours and the person who was there confirms them, and no location is captured at any point, so it is job costing rather than tracking your lads.
Chasing that does not depend on you
A reminder before the due date, then nudge, firm and final on a ladder you set. On commercial work you can add late-payment interest and the statutory fee, which almost nobody in this trade claims and everybody is entitled to.
The small things that protect a subcontract week
Bricklaying admin is not complicated, it is just always at the wrong end of a long day. These take it off you.
CIS is worked out for you
The right rate, materials excluded, and a statement produced from the same records rather than rebuilt in a spreadsheet.
A variation takes a minute
Price the extra, send the link, and have it agreed in writing before you lay it.
Photograph the receipt
Snap it at the merchant and it lands on the job as an expense instead of fading in the van.
Hours you actually worked
A timer that proposes and a person who confirms, so a forgotten stop does not turn a day into three. Never any location tracking.
The whole job in one place
Quote, variations, hours, materials, invoices and payments together, so what a contractor owes you is a page rather than an evening.
Chasing on a ladder you set
Reminder, nudge, firm, final, with interest and the statutory fee available on commercial work.

Review requests
A day after an invoice is paid the customer gets one message asking for a Google review, with your link in it.
Every automation is off until you switch it on, and each one has a test-send so you can see exactly what the customer gets. See how chasing works
