Plastering work is physically demanding and time-sensitive - the last thing you need at the end of a long day is hours of admin. HiveSuite gives plasterers and rendering contractors one platform to quote on-site, schedule multi-day jobs, track materials, invoice in stages, and get paid by card without chasing. Whether you are a sole trader skimming ceilings or a firm running dry lining crews across commercial sites, HiveSuite keeps your business organised.
HiveSuite is UK-built, priced in GBP including VAT, and designed for how UK trade businesses actually work. No per-user pricing, no feature locks - every plan includes everything from day one.
Plastering quotes need to cover preparation, materials, coats, and labour - and every job is different depending on the condition of the surfaces. HiveSuite lets you build detailed quotes on your phone while still on-site. Quote by room, by area, or by square metre - whatever suits the job. Add line items for preparation, bonding, skim coats, materials, and labour, then send the quote by email before you leave.
HiveAssist, the built-in AI assistant, drafts quote line items from a short description of the job. Describe the work - "skim 4 ceilings and 8 walls, 3-bed semi, PVA and 2-coat skim" - and get a structured quote with materials and labour that you review, adjust, and send. You can also send multi-option quotes so the customer can choose between a skim finish and a full re-plaster.
Quotes are branded with your business name and logo and can be accepted online with a single click. Once accepted, raise a deposit invoice before you start.
Plastering jobs often span multiple days and you may have several projects running at once. HivePlanner is a visual drag-and-drop calendar that lets you block out days for each job, assign crew members and labourers to specific sites, and see at a glance who is where. If a job overruns or drying time means you need to come back later, drag the job to a new slot and your team is updated automatically on the HiveCrew app.
Conflict detection warns you before you double-book a plasterer. For rendering firms managing crews across multiple sites, HivePlanner gives you a clear view of capacity and upcoming work.
Plastering goes through materials quickly - multi-finish, bonding, beads, mesh, PVA, scrim tape, and sand and cement for rendering. HiveSuite lets you track stock levels, set low-stock alerts, and raise purchase orders for your suppliers. Log materials used against each job so you always know your true costs and can quote accurately for the next project.
Many plasterers invoice a deposit before starting and the balance on completion, especially on larger re-plastering or rendering jobs. HiveSuite makes this simple - raise multiple invoices against the same job, each with a card payment link when Stripe is connected.
The invoice reminder board tracks every outstanding payment at a glance. HiveAssist can draft follow-up reminders when payments are overdue.
HiveCrew is the team member app your plasterers and labourers use on site - a native Android app that keeps working offline when there is no signal, or an installable web app on iPhone. They see their assigned jobs, start times, site addresses, and any preparation notes. Update job status, log hours, and upload photos of completed work - everything syncs back in real time.
HiveIntel turns your job data into clear reports without spreadsheets. Ask questions in plain English: "what did I earn this month", "who owes me money", "show me revenue by job type", "which customers give me the most repeat work". Each answer opens as a report with a one-line summary, a chart and the figures behind it, which you can save, share, download, pin to a dashboard or have emailed daily, weekly or monthly.
Site work and commercial jobs often need RAMS covering dust, access equipment and manual handling. Generate RAMS (risk assessments and method statements) from the job using HiveSuite's templates, pre-filled with the customer and site, or build your own in Certificate Studio. Store documents you reuse in the document library, attach them to jobs so your team sees them in HiveCrew, and share them with clients through the Customer Portal. See RAMS software.
HiveSuite is designed from the ground up for UK trade businesses - GBP pricing that includes VAT and workflows that match how UK plastering businesses actually operate. Plans start from just £34.99 per month with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required. Every plan includes every feature.

overheard in the hive
"Moving from WhatsApp to HiveSuite was the best move I've made for my locksmith business."
The automation handles my website leads and quotes while I'm out on jobs, and HiveIntel found over £300 in unpaid invoices I'd completely forgotten about.
"I can literally ask 'who hasn't paid me yet' and get the answer in seconds."
Typos? Doesn't matter. If you're running everything from your phone, this just works.
"HiveSuite is by far the easiest management tool I've used for a small business."
Working directly with the developers to shape new features has made a real difference to how I run things.
