Synhelm for general contractors and renovators

One app for the whole renovation, from walk-through to final invoice.

Renovations live and die on details: what the client asked for, which drawing is current, who was on site, and what's still owed. Synhelm keeps all of it on the job, where the office and the crew can both see it.

Free for up to 5 crew · no card to start · one price per shop

What gets in the way

The paperwork general contractors and renovators shouldn’t be doing by hand.

  • The quote is in one app, the photos in a camera roll, the hours on paper.

    Appraisal, estimate, job, hours, photos, and invoice all live on one job, and each step carries into the next.

  • The crew is working off last month's drawing.

    The blueprint reader keeps every revision, marks the newest as current, and shows what changed in red.

  • Chasing the client for updates and payments.

    Send progress with photos built from the job, and see the balance on every invoice at a glance.

The tools you’ll use

Everything on the job, nothing you don’t need.

  • On-site appraisals

    Walk the site before there's a client: notes, measurements, and photos. Turn it into a client and a draft estimate in one step.

  • Estimates that win work

    Your logo and colour on clean paper, with deposits, discounts, and tax. Email the PDF from the app; replies come back to you.

  • Blueprint reader

    Upload the PDF set and every page becomes a sheet to zoom and flip. Compare revisions, and mark up a copy to save, post in the job chat, or email.

  • Crew time clock

    Crew clock in and out of a job from their own phone with a PIN — no app store, no email accounts. Switch jobs and take breaks in a tap.

  • Job photos

    Photos land on the job, not in someone's camera roll. Mark them up on upload; they shrink on the phone so they send on a weak signal.

  • Invoices and reminders

    Turn the estimate into the job and the job into the invoice without retyping a line. Record partial payments and see what's owed.

  • Client updates

    Pro

    Send the client progress, what's next, and the latest photos, built from the job — plus a private progress page they can check.

  • Job costing

    Pro

    Labour at each person's rate plus expenses against the price, so you see the margin on every job while it's running.

Questions

Asked by general contractors and renovators

More in the full FAQ.

Can I turn an estimate into a job and then an invoice?
Yes. Accept the estimate and it becomes the job; when the work is done, the job becomes the invoice without retyping a line.
Can subcontractors or crew see drawings?
Crew assigned to a job can read its blueprints from their phone. You choose who may also mark them up.
Do my crew need to download an app?
No. They open one link or scan your QR code on any phone and sign in with a PIN. You can add it to their home screen so it opens like an app.
