Dependable Renovations
The System, Complete · Where Things Stand
Prepared for Chris Williams
By Evan Walker
9 July 2026

The operating system for the business is built and running, and you are already working in it: one connected platform that runs a job from first enquiry through agreements, procurement, documents and receipts, captures work in the field, presents Dependable online, and carries the refreshed brand throughout, with the database as the single source of truth. This page is the whole picture, plus the short list that switches it fully on.

The system, in four parts
Back-office system enquiry to closed job
Built · in use

The hub that runs a project: the modular brief, scoped links for trades, suppliers and client sign-off, the procurement board, estimates, schedules, agreements, the full document suite, receipts, and drawing comparison. You have a login and you are already working in it.

Field app capture on site
On your phone

The iPhone app is on your phone through TestFlight and you have put it through its paces: offline-first photo and note capture, your daily view and approvals, site tools, push notifications, and receipt capture: snap the paper, it is safe instantly, bin it.

Installed · via TestFlight
Website the public front door

Full site built and viewable now: service pages, four cost guides, seven Calgary area pages, process, FAQ, testimonials, and the search-engine groundwork. It goes live once your write-ups and company facts replace the last placeholders. Nothing has been invented.

Brand identity and collateral
Done

The identity is finished and carried through everything the system produces: the monogram and green kept and modernised, the dated brown retired, Archivo confirmed. Guidelines, a full asset pack, and your business card are in your hands.

What the system now does
Trade agreements & the register sign once, then per job
Built · in use

Your master subcontract agreement, exactly as you approved it. A trade signs it once, on their phone, and they are on the register; every job after that is a quick per-job signature under it. The register shows at a glance who is signed up and who is not, before you award work.

Signed for, on record clarity for both sides
Built · in use

Every commitment, trade and client, is signed and timestamped with the exact scope, price and dates as agreed, frozen the moment it is signed. Everyone knows what was shaken on, and the paperwork to back it up writes itself in the background.

Materials & suppliers request to purchase order
Built · in use

Send a supplier a materials request with one click; their quote lands on your board next to the others; accept it and the system issues them a purchase order on your letterhead. Suppliers sign nothing: the PO is the record, the way you already work.

Receipts snap it, bin it
Built · in use

Snap a receipt on site and it is safe before you leave the till: the system reads the supplier, date and totals, suggests the job and category, and files it in your inbox to confirm. Queued for the books once the accountant gives the nod.

Documents the system produces
Interactive · sample
A client proposal, with sign-off

A real, working proposal the system generated from a sample project. Open it on your phone: read the line items and totals, then Accept or Decline. The decision is recorded the moment you tap. This is exactly what a client receives.

Open the live proposal →

The three above are live samples you can open right now. The full suite the system produces on your letterhead, print-ready with one-click PDF: Preliminary Budget, Scope & Price Letter, Purchase Orders (labour and goods), Work Orders, Change Orders, Trade Schedule, Construction Schedule, and the Master Subcontract Agreement. Each builds from the project's own data, and a finalised document is a frozen snapshot that later edits never touch.

Sample project, clearly marked throughout. Figures are illustrative, not a real quote. The point is to show what the system builds, not to price a job.

See it work, end to end

One job, from a first enquiry to a signed proposal. Every step is yours to try now: you have the back office login and the app on your phone.

Tick a step once you have tried it. Your ticks are saved in this browser only. If you send a test enquiry, add the word "test" in the message so it is easy to spot and remove later.

What's left to switch it fully on
Yours The last inputs only you can give
  • Website content: a short write-up for the five premium areas (Altadore, Mount Royal, Aspen Woods, Signal Hill, West Springs), your Google Business Profile, Instagram and Facebook links, and the company facts (year established, projects completed, neighbourhoods served). The site is built around these; the moment they land, it is ready to publish.
  • GNA LLP: GST treatment confirmed before real invoicing, and the records-retention rules before anything old is moved. Nothing sends and nothing is touched until they say so.
  • Legal review of your trade terms, whenever you are ready. Your approved wording is live in the system as version 1; a lawyer's pass just hardens it. Signatures already on file stay bound to the version they signed.
Together A short sit-down each
  • Turn on email sending. A few domain records to add, then verify, then the system's drafted emails start actually going out. Everything is written and queued the same way today; it just logs instead of sends.
  • Connect QuickBooks for real pushes. The connection is built and your keys are in; confirmed receipts queue up ready. We flip it together once GNA signs off on the treatment.
On Evan Small finishing passes, no input needed
  • Set your real job numbering so the next project picks up where your sequence left off.
  • A little receipt polish from your feedback as you use it.
  • Widen the app testing circle when you want the crew on it.
