The tool I wish every builder had.
Sam gives every person on the team their own admin hire, at a fraction of the cost. It isn't finished yet, and the pilot builders shape what comes first.
What's actually costing you
The stuff that slips falls between your tools, not inside any one of them.
Variations vanish
A change lands over email. Nobody logs it. It gets buried, forgotten, and never invoiced. Revenue just disappears.
Emails bury what matters
Twenty actionable emails a day. A call interrupts, and that quote request sits unanswered for a week. The only safeguard is your memory.
Subbies go quiet
You send a quote request. No response. Nobody chases. The job stalls, and the request just dies.
Slow quotes lose the job
Send it too late and the client's gone with someone faster. Rush it on old prices and the margin's gone before you start.
It's your word against theirs
The change got a quick yes, then buried itself in a thread nobody logged. When the client says they never approved it, you wear the cost.
Admin eats your nights
You finish on site, then start again at the kitchen table. Hours every week, on top of a full day, that nobody pays you for.
Where this could go
Some of the dream outcomes I'm chasing.
These are some of the things I'm thinking about solving for builders. Right now I'm talking to the market to find where the biggest pains really are, so Sam earns its place instead of being something I just dreamed up.
A note from me
I'm Kosta. I started Folkware in Adelaide because I kept meeting builders who were brilliant on the tools and buried off them. I'm building Sam with builders, not for them. Get in early, and it gets shaped around how you actually work.
