Our story

Built by the trade. For the trade.

TradeVault did not start in an office. It started on live construction sites, solving problems that contractors deal with every single week.

The founder

A subcontractor who got tired of the admin.

TradeVault was created by a working subcontractor who ran the bookings, drawings, wages, CIS and applications himself — and knew there had to be a better way than spreadsheets, WhatsApp and paperwork.

Why we built it

Solving real problems, not imaginary ones.

Most construction software is built by people who have never priced a job, chased a CIS sheet, or stood on a wet site trying to find the right drawing. TradeVault is different.

It was built around the way contractors actually work: weekly bookings, plots and house types, teams, drawings and revisions, applications, retention, VAT and the constant question of whether a site is actually making money.

Every feature exists because it solved a real headache on a real site first — then it was tested in live use before it became part of the platform.

What we stand for

Practical, credible, built on real use.

No buzzwords. Just tools that make a contracting business easier to run.

Built by the trade

Designed by someone who has done the work, so it fits how sites and subcontractor businesses really operate.

Proven on live sites

Tested in real, day-to-day use before being rolled out — not just demonstrated in a sales deck.

Made to grow with you

Built for every trade — brickwork and joinery live now, scaffolding next, from tender to final payment.

Our mission

Help contractors take control of their business.

Our mission is simple: to help construction contractors take control of their workforce, their paperwork and their profitability — so they can spend less time chasing admin and more time running and growing the business.

The future

TradeVault is built for every trade. Brickwork and joinery are live now and scaffolding is next — each managed from tender to final payment on one platform.
