About
Built for the builder who does the paperwork too.
Slab to Keys is for custom home builders who run a handful of houses at a time and keep the office themselves, or with one person. It is small on purpose. The software that came before it grew until builders needed a course to use it.
Who it is for
A good fit, and a poor one.
It is for you if
- You build custom homes, a handful at a time
- You already keep spec sheets, takeoffs and job folders, and lose track of what is waiting across them
- Your clients make a lot of decisions, and late picks cost you weeks
- You don't want to learn software, and won't make your clients learn it
- You want to see where a number came from before you trust it
It is not for you if
- You want it to be your accounting system. It keeps the job's money, not your books.
- You plan with Gantt charts and resource levelling
- You want an app from the app store. It runs in the browser, and on a phone by link.
- You are choosing on price alone. There are cheaper tools, with support departments.
How it is built
The rules under every screen.
These are written down and tested. A change that breaks one does not ship.
The assistant proposes. A person approves.
The AI drafts lines, reminders and answers. Nothing it makes is sent to a client directly. Every figure it uses is checked against your records, and dollars are worked out in code, never in the AI.
A link is the only way in for clients and subs.
Each link opens one house and one part of it: a client sees their decisions, a sub sees their trade. No accounts, no passwords, now or later.
Every builder has their own server.
Your houses live in your own database, not in a shared one. It is backed up every night to a second place, and it is yours to take as one file.
Nothing deletes a client's answer.
Once a client has picked or signed, that line stays. The screen tells you why and what you can do instead.
Every number has a receipt.
Prices read from a quote keep the document and page they came from. If it can't find a source, it says so instead of guessing.
Plain words, everywhere.
"Everything waiting on you, across every house," not "Dashboard overview." When something can't be done, the message names the fix.
