Built for Edinburgh builders
Building software for Edinburgh businesses
From the first call to a paid invoice — TradesInvo runs the operational side of your builder business so you can focus on the work. Built around how UK builders actually operate, with local context for City of Edinburgh.
What slows down Edinburgh builders
The same admin friction comes up week after week. Here's what TradesInvo handles for you.
Big, multi-stage quotes that take days to prepare
Stage payments and variations drifting from the original quote
Juggling subcontractors and site visits without a clear schedule
Running a builder business in Edinburgh
In Edinburgh, builders win the most work by turning City of Edinburgh's steady demand for extensions and renovations into fast, clear quotes and dependable follow-up. TradesInvo keeps every building enquiry, quote, job and invoice in one place, so Edinburgh builders chase less paperwork and lose fewer jobs between the van and the office.
Edinburgh's New Town listed properties and Old Town tenements demand careful materials choices and patient quoting. Short-term-let regulations have reshaped landlord work since 2024.
Seasonality: Festival August doubles short-term-let turnaround work; landlord compliance peaks in March before summer lets.

FAQs
Is TradesInvo built for Edinburgh builders?
Yes — TradesInvo is a UK-first platform. Your business profile carries your City of Edinburgh address, postcode, and any local registrations onto every quote and invoice automatically.
How long does it take to set up?
Most builders are sending their first quote within 15 minutes. The setup wizard walks you through your business details, services, and pricing — and you can skip any step.
Will it work on my phone between jobs?
Yes. Every screen is built mobile-first, so you can quote, schedule, and invoice from your phone in the van.
Does it handle building regulations across the UK?
Building regulations are devolved: England and Wales each have their own, Scotland uses Building Standards with a building warrant, and Northern Ireland has its own — so quote and certify to the regime where the job is. TradesInvo keeps every quote, variation and certificate on the job record wherever you work.
Can I manage stage payments and variations?
Yes — invoice by stage, log variations against the original quote, and chase payment automatically so nothing is missed at the end.
