Leave self-employed builders paperwork at work.

Speak the job while it is fresh. SayInvoice creates a professional self-employed builders quote or invoice ready to check and send.

More than invoices

Paperwork, follow-ups and clean records for your accountant.

Keep receipt photos and reviewed costs together. Check VAT and expected CIS figures. When an invoice is overdue, SayInvoice prepares a polite follow-up for you to review and send.

Turn quotes into invoices

Convert accepted work into a separate invoice draft, then check any final changes.

Keep photos, receipts and costs

Review suggested receipt details, link costs to jobs and choose which job photos appear on customer PDFs.

Record payment status and follow up

Mark work sent or paid yourself. Due dates highlight overdue invoices, with private alerts and editable messages for you to send.

Remember customers and sites

Reuse customer details and keep private access notes away from customer PDFs.

See the month clearly

Review invoices, payments, overdue work and practical business insights.

Prepare the accountant pack

Export an invoice workbook with matching PDFs and confirmed receipt photos for your accountant to review.

What the pack includes

VAT, expected CIS, deposit, payment, confirmed-cost and attention checks. It is prepared for review, not tax filing.

Built for self-employed builders

Real self-employed builders work, not generic office admin.

Use the same plain language you use on the job. SayInvoice structures it into customer-ready paperwork.

Example voice note

“Invoice for self-employed building work, two days labour, materials, approved extra making good, total 960 pounds, payment due in 7 days.”

Check the real job

Do not type the same job twice.

Turn an accepted quote into the final invoice, add approved extras and keep the original scope connected.

Straight answers.

No tech jargon, just how it works for your business.

Is SayInvoice useful for sole traders?

Can I include day rates and materials?

Yes. Add daywork, materials, extras, VAT if needed, and payment terms in one draft.

Can I use this for quotes as well as invoices?

Yes. SayInvoice supports quotes and invoices, so you can quote first and turn accepted work into a final invoice later.

Does SayInvoice send anything before I check it?

No. The app creates a draft first, so you can check the customer, work details, totals, VAT, and payment terms before sending.

Speak the job. Share the PDF. Track what’s owed.
