Software Built For General Builders

Trade-Linked gives general builders one system to coordinate trades, manage subcontractors, protect margin, produce a single branded report, and get paid faster—replacing scattered tools and chat threads. Building projects are complex: multiple trades, shifting schedules, variations, compliance, evidence, materials, and cash flow. Trade-Linked keeps the full workflow in one place with clear scopes, role-based access, structured costs/variations, and client-ready documentation.

The world's best companies trust Trade-Linked.

Trade-Linked is used by over 55,000+ companies across the globe

One Unified Client Report That Looks Professional

Trade-Linked replaces multiple PDFs, screenshots, WhatsApp updates, and subcontractor notes with one client-ready output. Your client receives one branded schedule of works, one structured summary, and one unified PDF report that presents the whole project clearly.

The result is simple. You come across as the organised main contractor clients trust to run the job properly, not someone trying to manage it day by day.

Margin Control Is Built Into The Workflow

Profit shouldn’t depend on remembering mark-up at the end or rebuilding pricing from messages and invoices. Trade-Linked lets you set the financial structure up front, so margin is built into the workflow.

Apply fixed or percentage margins to subcontractor work automatically, without manual recalculation.
Add project-wide management fees to reflect coordination, risk, and oversight.
Keep labour and materials separated so pricing stays clear for clients and accurate for your internal tracking.
Track variations separately with clear scope and pricing, so change work doesn’t blur into the main job.
The result is consistent numbers and stronger control from quote through to final invoice.

Project Management And Crm Built For Builders

This isn’t a generic CRM with construction labels. Trade-Linked becomes the centre of your operation, where leads, surveys, schedules, trade assignments, documents, variations, evidence, and reporting sit together.

When job management and reporting are in the same system, you stop duplicating work and reduce lost details that cost time and money.

Payment Terms And Invoicing That Protect Cash Flow

Set deposits upfront to secure the job and protect mobilisation costs.
Use stage payments that match the schedule, so you’re paid as work progresses.
Trigger invoices by milestones, like first-fix, plastering, or completion.
Bill variations separately, with clear scope and approval records.
Automate reminders for overdue payments, so terms are enforced without constant follow-up.

Built For Common Project Types

Trade-Linked supports residential, commercial, and insurance work in one workflow. It works for homeowners, landlords, housing associations, developers, retail refurbishments, and reinstatement projects without changing how you operate.

You run the same repeatable process across every job. The system keeps scopes, evidence, variations, reporting, and payments consistent, so you’re not rebuilding everything each time.

🏗️ Turn The Inspection Into Clear Trade Scopes

Plumbers, electricians, plasterers, carpenters, roofers, decorators, flooring teams, damp specialists, landscapers, and groundworkers receive focused briefs built to prevent delays and disputes.

Photos with annotations, measurements and constraints, sequencing and dependencies, risks and access notes, as well as materials requirements and task notes. Subcontractors only see their section, so your pricing, margin, and full plan stay protected.

Why General Builders Choose Trade-Linked

One survey becomes a multi-trade job plan. One unified report goes to the client. Margin and management fee control are built in. Payment terms and staged invoicing are structured from the start.

Evidence-led reporting reduces disputes. Subcontractors collaborate without exposing pricing. CRM and workflow are built for construction. Offline mode supports no-signal sites.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can Subcontractors See My Margin Or Pricing?

Subcontractors only access their assigned trade scope, photos, and notes. Client pricing, margins, and other trade sections stay hidden, so control and profitability stay secure.

Does It Work On Sites With No Signal?

Offline mode supports surveys, photos, forms, and signatures without a signal. When the signal returns, everything syncs automatically, so updates and reporting stay accurate.

How Does It Handle Variations?

Variations are logged as they happen with photos, notes, and timestamps attached. Labour and materials can be separated clearly, approvals are recorded, and variation invoices are clear.

Can I Run Deposits And Staged Payments?

Deposit amounts, stage payments, milestone triggers, and final balances can be set from the start. The system tracks what is due, generates invoices, and supports reminders when payments are late.

What Industry Leaders

say about us

Hear from the experts who trust Trade-Linked to streamline operations, boost efficiency, and drive success in their industries.

Daniel Morris – Morris Roofing & Restoration

Roofing & Exterior
Refurbishment

We’ve been part of Trade-Linked’s structured beta programme for the past six months, and I have to say – it’s already paid off. I just landed my biggest roof job to date and the client specifically said that the decision came down to the report that was shared with all the leaseholders. The detail, structure and branding of the custom smart report gave them total confidence. For a small team like mine, being able to present like a Tier 1 contractor is a game-changer.

Claire Reid – Precision Damp & Timber Specialists

Damp Proofing & Timber Treatment

“The beta rollout has been impressively polished. We’ve been testing all core modules – CRM, job tracking, quoting – but what’s been most transformative is the job scheduling and team collaboration. No more WhatsApp chaos or spreadsheet rot. Everything is now in one system, and our admin team loves the offline data sync from site surveys. Trade-Linked has built something that feels truly tailored to our industry – not generic field service software.”

Imran Ali – A1 Gas & Heating

Gas & Heating Engineering

“As a solo trader, I joined the Trade-Linked early access group to improve how I quote and follow up leads. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d rely on the CRM and templated job reporting. My quotes look more professional than ever, and I’m now tracking follow-ups without needing an extra CRM subscription. It’s helped me close more jobs and reduce missed opportunities. Support has been excellent too – very responsive and knowledgeable.”

Sophie Grant – Heritage Plaster & Lime Ltd.

Heritage & Lime Plastering

“We’ve been testing Trade-Linked’s beta for our estimating and reporting workflows. The custom smart form builder is hands-down one of the best tools we’ve used. I can build report templates that reflect the integrity of our heritage work, include optional service lines, and email a polished PDF that clients can digitally sign. It’s saving us hours each week and has elevated how we’re perceived by architects and project managers alike.”

Jake Holloway – Holloway Electrical Services

Domestic & Commercial Electrical

“We were invited into the controlled beta environment with Trade-Linked, and it’s been a brilliant investment of our time. The automated scheduling, real-time job updates, and token-based reporting system are cutting admin by nearly 40%. I especially rate the metrics dashboard – we’re now forecasting revenue and seeing which engineers are generating the most return per hour. It’s built for trades by people who understand trades.”
