Built By People Who've Been On Site

Daywork is necessary in construction. But the paper-based process was broken – for everyone involved. We saw it from both perspectives and knew there had to be a better way.

The Subcontractor

David Young

Founder | Former Carpentry Business Owner


David ran a successful commercial carpentry company with efficient crews and happy clients. But there was one thing he couldn't control: daywork.

Sheets went missing. Client reps weren't available when work finished. Hours were spent each month compiling data into Excel and formatting for invoices.

No matter how good his systems were elsewhere, daywork remained chaotic and frustrating.

I could optimise every other part of my business, but daywork? It was like trying to control the weather. I knew there had to be a better way – I just didn't know what it looked like yet.

We built
Dayworkbook
to solve three
problems.

Lost Sheets & Revenue

Missing paperwork costs $5K per sheet

Manual Billing Chaos

10+ hours monthly on Excel & formatting

Constant Disputes

Surprise costs with no paper trail

Why We Built Dayworkbook

David ran a subcontracting business before founding Dayworkbook. He lost money on daywork — the same way you have. When he couldn't find a platform that actually solved the full problem (not just the sheet, but the month-end billing report), he built one.
