SEATS

Your foremen don’t cost extra.

Every plan counts two kinds of seat. An office seat belongs to someone who sees money — budgets, margin, what a job is making. A site seat belongs to a foreman, and a foreman never sees any of that. Site seats are free, because charging by the head for the person holding the phone is charging for the thing that makes the numbers true in the first place.

A foreman logs costs, deliveries, snags and the day’s progress, and cannot open the budget or the margin. That is not a setting anyone can tick by mistake — the money columns are closed to him at the database, not hidden in the interface.

Running more than one build? A developer is on the other side of the table from a contractor — holding retention rather than claiming it, paying for variations rather than issuing them. The Company plan does that job, and there is a page that says so in your language.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

Do I need a QS background?

No. siteMargin uses plain language — "spending ahead of progress," not a spreadsheet of variance formulas you have to interpret yourself.

Can I bring my existing budget across?

Yes. Export your current spreadsheet to CSV and import it in one go — no retyping line items from scratch.

Do I pay per person?

Only for the people who see money. Foremen are free on every paid plan — three on Contractor, ten on Contractor+, twenty-five on Company.

What happens to my data?

It's yours. Your project data stays in your account, and you can export a PDF of any project at any time.
