8 ways Trade2Base helps extension builders
Quotes, compliance docs, client updates and campaign attribution in one system.
Pre-built templates covering groundworks, brickwork, roofing, glazing and structural steelwork. Build itemised quotes for single-storey and double-storey extensions in minutes, not hours.
Track which Google ads, directories or referrals generate your extension enquiries. See your cost per lead by channel and cut spend on sources that do not convert.
Store planning consent, drawings and correspondence against every project. Share documents with clients via their portal link — no email chains or lost attachments.
Log each inspection stage — foundations, DPC, structural, roofing, completion — against the project record. Get notified when sign-offs are due and never miss a BCO visit.
Store CSCS cards, insurance certificates and trade qualifications for every operative. Filter by expiry date so renewals never catch you out on site.
Give clients a live link to their project. They can view progress updates, approve variations, check programme milestones and download documents — without phoning you.
Generate fully VAT-compliant invoices at practical completion or on staged payments. Mark paid, track overdue balances and connect to Xero or QuickBooks.
Send automated WhatsApp messages at key milestones — groundworks start, structural frame up, roof on, first fix complete. Clients stay informed without you lifting the phone.
Quote faster. Win more extension projects.
Extension clients make large financial decisions. When they can see every element — groundworks, structure, roofing, glazing — broken out clearly, they approve faster and raise fewer variations. Trade2Base builds the quote while you're still measuring on site.

What extension builders say about Trade2Base
“Before Trade2Base I was quoting extensions on spreadsheets and losing track of which planning documents belonged to which project. Now everything is stored in one place and my clients can see live progress. I converted three jobs last month just because the quote looked more professional than the competition.”
“The building regs tracking is the feature I did not know I needed. I log each BCO inspection stage in the job record and the system reminds me when the next one is due. It has saved me two failed inspections this year because I had the right documents ready.”
“I was spending half my Friday mornings chasing clients for quote sign-off. Now they get a portal link and approve digitally. I know the second they sign off, the job status updates and I can order materials without any back-and-forth.”
Common questions from extension builders
Yes — Trade2Base lets you build itemised templates for single-storey, double-storey and wrap-around extensions, with separate line items for groundworks depth, structural steel size, roof type and glazing specification. You adjust quantities on site and the total recalculates automatically.
Each project has a compliance timeline where you can log inspection stages — foundations, DPC, structural, first fix, roofing, drainage and completion certificate. You can set reminders for upcoming BCO visits and attach the relevant drawings or calculations to each stage.
Raise a variation quote from inside the existing job record, send it to the client portal for digital approval and log the approved value against the project. Every variation is dated and signed off, which protects you if there are payment disputes on completion.
Yes — tag each enquiry with its source (Google Ads, Checkatrade, referral, website form) when it comes in. Trade2Base shows you how many enquiries, quotes sent and jobs won per channel so you can shift budget toward the sources that actually convert.
