In short
Agenbord Build is a project ERP for businesses that bill by the job: contractors, specialty subcontractors, millwork shops, solar installers, rental houses and staffing firms. It runs every cost, commitment, timesheet and invoice through the same jobs and cost codes. The engine runs in production today; U.S. editions (AIA-style pay apps, certified payroll, state lien waivers) are in early access with design partners.
Most project businesses run on an accounting package plus spreadsheets, a project management app and a group chat. Every one of those holds part of the truth about a job, and someone re-types the numbers at month end.
Agenbord Build puts the job at the center. The estimate becomes the budget, purchase orders and subcontracts become committed cost, field timesheets and diaries land on the same job, and the billing engine knows about retainage, change orders and withholding. Owners see job profitability while there is still time to act on it.
Each industry edition below configures the same engine with the vocabulary, documents and rules of that trade. Where an edition needs something the engine doesn't do yet, its page says so.

How it's built and run.
In production today
The engine behind Agenbord Build runs as a multi-module subscription ERP with role-based access for office and field staff, web, desktop and mobile apps, and encrypted off-site backups.
One data model, office and site
A diary entry or timesheet captured on site updates the office view immediately, because every app shares the same jobs, cost codes and records.

Phased
Agenbord Build: common questions.
Is Agenbord Build available in the U.S. today?
The engine runs in production today. The U.S. editions - with AIA-style pay applications, WH-347 certified payroll and state lien waivers - are in early access, delivered with design partners. Each edition page lists what exists now and what the edition adds.
Does it replace QuickBooks or our accounting system?
It can, but most contractors start by keeping their general ledger and connecting Build to it for jobs, commitments, billing and payroll. Replacing the ledger is a later, separate decision.
How is it priced?
As a fixed-scope build on the engine during early access, from $25k for one module. Once an edition has enough customers it moves to subscription pricing, and early customers keep their terms.
Who owns the data?
You do. You get exports of every record, and for custom builds the code and database for your instance are yours under the contract.
