We're building the future of construction

Our story

Our cost management software, Chalkstring, was the brainchild of our Product Director, Stuart Friend.

With years of experience of running construction projects, he identified the need for an integrated, single system that enabled a specialist subcontractor to manage project costs from estimating to completion. He brainstormed all the functionality he was missing when running projects, scoped how software could address the business issues subcontractors faced and set about building Chalkstring.

From there, our management team formed and we now have millions of pounds worth of project costs being handled daily by Chalkstring, across a range of specialist subcontracting trades.

We are committed to helping our clients' business’ succeed and believe in fostering long-standing relationships. We listen and respond to product feedback. And we continually deliver unique solutions to construction industry problems, giving our clients a competitive edge.

We’re building both the future of Chalkstring and the future of construction.
