It's never the building that catches people out.
The trades turn up and the house goes up. What goes wrong is everything around it — the money, the approvals, and the record of what was agreed and when.
None of this needs a lawyer. It needs a record — kept as you go, not reconstructed afterwards.
Your whole build, on the record.
Nine things that together mean you always know where the money is, what's been agreed, and what you can prove. No tiers — every account gets all of it.
Built for the owner, not the builder.
Set up in a few minutes. Sorted for the whole build.
Built from the middle of my own build.
I'm David Gilmore. I'm an AI engineer by trade, and right now I'm in the middle of building our own place in Gippsland, Victoria.
Nobody warned me about the paperwork. Certificates, the building contract, variations, inspection reports — and an inbox that had quietly become the only record of what anyone had actually agreed to. I'd go looking for one email from three months ago and lose an evening to it.
Every piece of construction software I could find was built for the builder: trades, schedules, margins. Nothing was built for the person whose savings are in the ground.
So I built the thing I wanted — one place to run the entire build. That's ourhouse build.
No customers yet. So here's the product instead.
Most sites this early would show you three glowing quotes from people who don't exist. You're about to trust something with the paperwork for the biggest purchase of your life, so here's the straight version: ourhouse build launched this month and you'd be among the first to use it. The only person who has run a build on it so far is me, and I'm still running mine on it.
See everything it doesThe first 100 builds on ourhouse build get my direct email and first call on what gets built next. You're building the same house I am — tell me what's missing and I'll build it.
One plan. Everything included.
You're spending several hundred thousand dollars on this build. This will be the smallest line item in it — and one caught variation pays for the lot.
14 days free on either plan. Card required, but nothing is charged until day 14 — cancel before then and you pay nothing.
The things people actually ask.
Can't I just use a spreadsheet?
You can, and most people start there. A spreadsheet won't hold the photo of the crack, the quote behind the variation, or the date you first raised it — and those are the three things you need when there's an argument. It also won't tell you your funds-to-complete position without you rebuilding the formula every month.
My builder already has an app. Isn't that enough?
That's their record, kept for their purposes. Variations, progress claims and delay notices are exactly the points where your interests and theirs stop being the same. You want your own copy, with your own dates on it.
I'm not an owner-builder — I've got a fixed-price contract.
This is built for you too. Contract stages and progress payments are the core of it, and the budget section exists specifically for the costs a fixed-price contract doesn't cover — which is where most of the overrun happens.
Is it actually Australian?
Yes. Dollars, progress payment stages, bank drawdowns, defects liability periods, and a compliance checklist for whichever state or territory you're building in — all eight, with the right authority named for each.
How does the free trial work, exactly?
You get full access for 14 days. We ask for a card up front, but nothing is charged on day one. On day 14 your card is charged for whichever plan you picked, and then each billing period after that. Cancel any time before day 14 and you pay nothing — it's one button under Settings → Account, no email or phone call. The exact charge date and amount are shown on the signup screen before you enter anything.
What if my build takes two years?
Pay monthly for as long as you're building, or take the annual plan if you already know it'll be a long one. Cancel whenever you're done — there's no minimum term.
What happens to my files if I cancel?
Straight answer: when a subscription ends, the files you uploaded — documents, plans, progress photos and receipts — are deleted from our servers. Your written records stay. Download anything you want to keep before you cancel, especially your photo record and contracts.
Can my partner use it too?
Right now it's one login per build, so you'd share it. Proper multi-user access is on the list.
When should I start?
Before the slab goes down, if you can. Setting up takes minutes at the start of a build and hours if you try to reconstruct six months of it from memory and a camera roll.
Start your build on solid ground.
The best day to set this up is before the slab is poured. The second best is today.
