Every job, and the whole business, on one record
Built to prevent urgency, not to display it.
Construction operations software for UK contractors. Every job from enquiry to handover, and the whole business across every job: people, programme, money and the client, in one place.
The clash in the diary, the date slipping past its promise, the unpaid invoice, the unpriced change — in front of you while there is still time to do something about it.
For general contractors, developers and the trades that make and fit. Built by people who run a London joinery and construction business, and proven on their own jobs first.

0107:00 · The board
Start the day knowing what needs you.
Seven o’clock, and the day’s plan already has a hole in it.
One screen: who is on which site, who is in the workshop and on what, and the things that will turn into a problem by lunchtime if nobody looks at them. Each flag says what is true and what it rests on. What to do about it is your call.

0209:30 · The business
Not one job. All of them, on one screen.
Fifteen jobs at different stages, three clients, two crews and a workshop. Auberon runs the business, not just the project: every live job on one screen with its phase, its days to promise, what it owes you and the one thing wrong with it.
Owed by client, across every job. Changes instructed and still unpriced, across every job, with the days counting. Stage payments reached and not yet invoiced. The whole position, before the week starts.
0311:00 · Every job
One record of every job, from enquiry to handover.
Know exactly where every job stands, what it has cost and what comes next — without having to ask.
Auberon is the spine of the business: one record of every job’s operations and money, open to each person as far as their role allows. It flags clashes and slipping dates long before they land, so you plan around them instead of firefighting. And what you set down once — the plan, the decision, what was agreed — turns up exactly the same for everyone who needs it, with nothing lost between office and site.

04Friday · The client rings
Your client has their own page of the job. It is theirs, and it is current.
Friday afternoon, and the client wants to know what the changes have come to.
They open their own page: what they agreed, every change since in date order with a running total, what they have been invoiced and paid, the decisions waiting on them, and how the work is coming along — their pieces in the workshop included.
They read the job in the language they bought it in. You keep running it in yours.
And they decide there too. A selection made in their portal lands on the job the same minute, with a receipt of what they chose and when. Fewer update calls. No “I thought we’d agreed”. Every decision written down where both of you can find it.

05The workshop · If you make what you fit
The workshop and the site are one job. So is the money.
Ten past eight, and the stonemason wants the template date confirmed.
Joinery, stone, anything made to order. The pieces move from bench to spray shop to van to site on one programme, with one money trail, on the same record as the fitting.
Book a template for Tuesday when the carcass finishes Thursday and the diary tells you before the stonemason does — in days, not adjectives. Your client follows their pieces through the workshop alongside the work on site: the same page, the same minute.
06Month end · Money in flight
Money in flight, and money you have not yet asked for.
Month end. What are you owed, and what have you not yet asked for?
Who owes you, how much and for how long. The changes proposed but not agreed, the changes instructed but not yet priced, and the stage payments you have reached but not yet invoiced. Every project shows what was agreed, invoiced, paid and still to invoice.
Absence is never zero.
Where a figure cannot be completed, Auberon says + unknown and names what is missing. It will not quietly count a gap as nothing and show you a margin that looks healthy.

07All day · The record
Every change has a name and a reason on it.
Who confirmed the crew, who moved someone to a half day and why, which selection the client made and when, who priced the change. A manual adjustment cannot be saved without a reason, and the reason is written to the log with the name and the time.
People who leave are deactivated, never deleted, so the record of their work stays whole. The client’s portal reads in English or Polish, switched by whoever is reading it, and their own notes stay theirs — you cannot read them.
The end of “who changed that?”
08How it sits in your business
One sign-in. Three ways in. Your own address, your own database.
The director’s morning
The office application on a laptop: the board, the business, every job, the money.

The foreman’s day
The field application on a phone: today’s crew, today’s drawings, what to confirm and what to flag.
field · field.yourcompany.auberon.cloud
The client’s Friday
Their own portal: the agreement, the changes, the decisions, the account, the drawings they were sent.
portal · portal.yourcompany.auberon.cloud
Every company on Auberon has its own separate database, its own web address and its own identity. Nothing is shared between companies. Auberon runs the jobs and the business around them; payroll and filing stay with your accountant, estimates stay in your estimating tool, and stock stays wherever you track it now.

Thirty minutes on a working system, not a slide deck. Bring a job you are running now and we will show you where it would sit.
- The board a director opens in the morning, on a live demonstration company.
- One job from enquiry to handover: programme, people, drawings, changes, money.
- The client’s page of that job, on a phone.
- The workshop and the site on one record — if you make what you fit.
- Your job, your questions.
