Founding pilot · A few Irish practices at a time

The client experience that gets you referred.

Give every project a private portal. Your client sees the progress, the photos, and the documents in one place — and you stop fielding “any news on the extension?” emails.

Free while we're in pilot — and I'll set up your first project with you.

No account for your clients · No card required

Your clients never sign up — they just open a linkWorks on any phone or browser — nothing to installBuilt and run by one person — you talk to me, not a helpdesk
How it works

As simple as sending an email. More professional than one.

01

Create a project

Give it a title and you're started. Add the client and a description now or later — whatever suits.

02

Invite your client

Enter their name and email, and BuildTimeline sends a private link to their project. They open it in any browser — no account, no app, no password.

03

Post updates as you go

Write a quick note and attach photos, drawings, or documents — whenever it suits you. Your client gets an email and sees everything in one clean timeline.

The client's view

This is exactly what your client sees.

One clean, private page for the whole project — every update, photo, and document, in order.

Roof structure complete

Trusses are up and braced, felt and battens on — so the roof's watertight now, which is the main thing before more rain. The engineer was out this morning and confirmed the trusses and bracing are all installed as designed; his email's attached below. Slating starts Tuesday, weather permitting - I'll send photos once it's on.

Greg · Founder, Dublin
Who's behind it

Hi, I'm Greg.

I'm a software developer in Dublin. I built BuildTimeline because I kept hearing the same thing from architects: clients constantly asking where things are, and project updates scattered across email, WhatsApp, and Dropbox.

So I'm building the tool I think you need — and I'd rather build it with a few practices than guess. If you join the pilot, I'll set up your first project with you myself and build around what you actually need. You're not buying software from a company; you're shaping a tool with the person who makes it.

FAQ

Common questions.

No. They open a private link in any browser — no password, no app, no sign-up. That’s the whole point.
Yes — that’s the idea. While we’re in pilot it’s completely free, with as many projects as you like, and I’ll help you set up your first one.
Only the people you send it to. Each link is private to that project, and you can revoke access at any time.
They’re yours. You can download everything. I’ll never hold your projects hostage.
Pilot practices stay free for three months after launch. After that your first project stays free forever — €75/month only when you’re running more than one. One simple price, every feature included, no tiers.
The pilot

What it is, and what I'm looking for.

BuildTimeline is in pilot. I'm working with a small number of Irish practices to make sure it does exactly what they need before I open it up properly.

What I'm looking for: practices with live residential projects who'll actually use it — post real updates, send a real client the portal link — and tell me honestly what works and what's missing. Useful feedback over polite feedback.

A say in what gets built

Tell me what you need and I'll build around it — with a direct line to me, not a support queue.

Three extra months free

As many projects as you like, no card, for the whole pilot.
