Aftercare-only tools
Built for what happens after handover: defect capture, contractor jobs and resident communication. The record starts at completion, so sales, build and compliance live in different systems and are joined up manually.
Compare
Ubrix vs the old way.
The old way is a patchwork: aftercare tools for defects, construction platforms for site, and spreadsheets for the bits in between. Ubrix carries the whole plot on one record, from reservation to end of defects, with published per-plot pricing and a first site live in 7 days*.

The three old ways
What each category is actually for.
General construction platforms
Built for the construction phase and general contracting across large commercial or civils projects. Typically priced per user. No plot sales lifecycle, stops before warranty defects on a new home.
Spreadsheets and email
Feels free and takes no procurement. In practice every handoff gets retyped, nothing lives on one record and there is no audit trail.
See what fragmentation actually costsSwitching or starting alongside
You do not have to rip anything out to start.
Most teams begin by running Ubrix on one site or one function, aftercare being the most common, while the rest of the estate carries on. See Ubrix alongside your existing systems or the 7-day onboarding plan for the day-by-day view.
-
Can we bring our existing defect history across?
Yes. Ubrix imports historic defect records so the plot record starts complete on day one. The team runs the import as part of go-live and it does not require the resident-facing side to change first.
-
Do we have to replace everything at once?
No. Most teams start by running Ubrix on one site or one function, typically aftercare, while everything else stays exactly as it is. See how it works on the Ubrix alongside your existing systems page.
-
Which parts of the plot lifecycle does Ubrix cover?
Reservation, exchange, build stage sign-offs, energy and compliance evidence, handover, warranty period defects, and the audit trail through all of it. One record, one URL per plot.
-
How is Ubrix priced?
From £2.70 per plot, published on the pricing page. Not per seat, not per module. Includes the buyer app, Smart Forms, Smart Triage and Auto-Assign.

A 30-minute walkthrough on your work, with a straight answer on whether Ubrix fits.
* 7 days is a typical go-live for a residential SME or mid-market housebuilder. Actual timeline depends on plot volume, number and complexity of integrations, existing data quality, team availability for kick-off sessions, and any bespoke configuration. Larger multi-region operations run to a longer plan agreed up front. We confirm the right timeline together at kick-off.
