Why site tracking always ends up on paper
A job site means a client, dates, work sessions, materials, hours — and ten surprises. Construction software on the market can do everything: workload plans, progress billing, cascading subcontracting. As a result, small trade businesses spend more time feeding the tool than using it, and the real tracking goes back to the notebook and text messages.
The real need is usually simpler and more personal: knowing where each project stands, what was done, what was installed, what remains to be invoiced. Simple doesn't mean standard: every business splits its projects its own way — by phase, by trade, by week.
An application that tracks projects the way you do
Describe how you operate: “I'm a drywall contractor with about ten active job sites. Each site has a client, an address, a quote amount, work days with my two employees' hours, and materials used. I want to see what's in progress, late, and this month's billable total.”
Blueprint Maker generates the matching application: projects linked to clients, work days attached to projects, material tracking, and a dashboard with exactly your indicators — active sites, hours this month, billable amount.
The statuses you use (preparing, in progress, waiting on client, done, invoiced) become statuses in the application, with matching badges and filters.
- Project records: client, address, quote, status, progress
- Log of work sessions and hours per project
- Tracking of materials used
- Overview: active, late, ready-to-invoice projects
- Monthly dashboard: hours, amounts, breakdown
From validated plan to production tool
The Sketch level is often enough to replace the binder: a working application generated from your description, with demo data so you can try it immediately. Craft and Masterpiece refine screens, indicators and visual polish as the tool becomes central to your day.
Generation is deterministic: AI writes the specification of your application — entities, relations, screens — and reproducible builders write the code. You validate the plan before generation: what gets built is what was announced.
A tool you own, not one more subscription
The generated application belongs to you: source-code ZIP export, GitHub push, free choice of hosting — or the dedicated URL provided if you'd rather not deal with it. A trade business shouldn't depend on a vendor to consult its own project history.
The cost is known before generating: the free Discovery plan covers your first application; Pro (€25/month) and Max (€149/month) provide credits to iterate, with published, fixed credit weights.

Frequently asked questions — site tracking
My project breakdown is specific (phases, trades). Can the application reflect it?
Yes. The application structure is derived from your description: if your projects split into phases or lots, say so and the generated entities follow that breakdown. You validate the plan before generation.
Can I check the application from the site, on my phone?
The generated application is a responsive web application, reachable from a phone browser at its dedicated URL — nothing to install on devices.
Can I start small and grow later?
That's the recommended path: generate a simple application first (Sketch level) to validate the structure, then regenerate from a richer description, or take the code and evolve it freely.
What happens to the application if I stop my subscription?
The code is yours and can be exported at any time (ZIP, GitHub). You can self-host the application: your project history stays with you.
Do I need technical skills to use it?
No. You describe your business in plain language, validate the proposed plan, and the application is generated and put online at a dedicated URL. Technical skills only become useful if you choose to take the code and modify it.
