The whole argument, in a hundred seconds.
It runs a hundred seconds. The words are on the screen as well as spoken, so it works with the sound off. If you would rather not watch it at all, the same argument is written underneath.
Example figures. Yours are your own.
Read it instead
The way it works now: the numbers are right. They are just late. The job starts in January, it runs, it finishes in March — and March is where you find out what it actually cost.
And that is why it is expensive. You have already spent it. The labour budget is gone and the overspend is not a decision any more, it is a fact.
What is different here: one record, not two. Usually the timesheets and your accounts have to agree with each other. With VORDO, the hours a man logs on site and the cost on your project are the same record. He sees his hours. You see your cost.
So three things change. Margin: this morning, not in March — every hour, priced as it happens. Control: four sites, one screen — you stop driving over at seven to see who turned up. Trades: you ask, we place — added on top of the day rate, never taken out of it.
What it costs: you hear both numbers before the pilot starts. The platform is free through your first project, then a flat monthly figure — and you hear that figure on the first call, not once you depend on it. Trades we place are a small percentage of the day rate, only for days actually worked, and nothing at all if you never use the pool.
Two things worth saying plainly. Nothing here asks you to throw anything away. Keep your spreadsheet — if it works, it stays; this adds the join between the hours and the cost. And your data leaves with you: it exports to Xero and to a spreadsheet, and you can cancel whenever, with no notice.
If you want to look at it: bring one live project. Fifteen minutes, your own numbers, not a demo. Run it for real, then decide. If it does not earn its place, you stop — you have lost nothing.
One project. Then decide.
What you get back
Three things. Everything else on this page is only how.
Know it while you can still change it
Not in three months, when the job is closed and the money is gone. An overrun you see in week two is a decision. The same overrun in month four is a loss.
See how ControlEvery site, without standing on it
Who turned up, what it cost, what moved. You stop driving across town to find out what a phone call should have told you.
See how TimeYour evenings and Saturdays back
The books stop eating the weekend. The chasing stops. The hours you spend proving what happened go back into deciding what happens next.
See how“Your margin, this morning. Not in March.”
Catch the overrun in week two.
Every director has closed a job and found out too late what it really made. The number was always there — it was just spread across five spreadsheets, three WhatsApp groups and a pile of paper timesheets.
Labour lands against the budget the day it is worked, not the month it is invoiced
Materials and subcontractor cost sit on the same line as the hours
You see the job drifting while there is still something to do about it
How you find out now
Margin known at the end. Nothing left to change.

Known every day. Still time to act.
“I count who turned up. You stop driving over to check.”
Four sites. One screen. No van.
You know the drive. Across town at seven to see who actually turned up, then back again because a client wants an update you cannot answer from memory.

“Put your numbers in. See what you get back.”
The hours you spend proving what happened.
Chasing timesheets. Driving to check. Building the report nobody reads until it is late. None of it moves a single brick — and all of it comes out of your week.
Your numbers
What you get back
That is 4.9 working days every month, or 468 hours a year, off your own week.
Our assumptions, printed so you can argue with them. Change the sliders to your own numbers — the sum is the same either way.
No Sunday books
The invoice is built from hours already logged.
Less tapping
Nobody re-types a timesheet into a spreadsheet.
More thinking
The time goes back into decisions, not admin.
A week on site.
Who is working, what it costs, and a week approved in one tap.
- See who is on site. Right now.
- Know what today costs you. Today.
- Approve a week in one tap.
- Your accountant gets every hour, every project.
Thursday, not March.
What the week has cost you, while there is still a week left to change it.
Know what today cost you. Today.
- Friday. You are still asking people what they worked.
- Instead: who is on site right now, and what today has cost you.
- A week of verified hours, approved in one tap.
- Labour against budget, plot by plot. Plot 4 is going over, and it is only Thursday.

“My lads will never use it.”
You have bought an app before. It lasted a fortnight. Every system that asks a worker to do admin for the office dies on site, and they are right to ignore it.
Two taps, not paperwork
One when they arrive, one when they leave. No forms, no photos, nothing to learn.
They gain from it too
Their hours become proof of what they are owed. They have their own reason to tap in.
The worker side is a product
It is free for them, and it gives them proof of their own hours. That is why they keep using it.
This is why both sides matter. A project tool runs your job but cannot staff it, and has to talk your workers into using something that only helps you. VORDO gives the worker their own reason to check in. That is the part most tools leave to you.
Built by someone who runs a construction company.
Vladimir still runs one. VORDO is what he could not buy: six years of his own jobs, his own mistakes, and the numbers arriving while there was still time to act on them.
Hear it from himA gap on Monday costs more than a bricklayer.
It costs the programme. We are building a pool of trades near your sites, bricklayers first. You ask, we place. A small percentage of the day rate, only for days actually worked. It is added on top of the day rate, never taken out of it — which is why good trades stay on the platform.

Tell us where the site is on the first call and we will tell you plainly what we can cover.
Fulham, London. The system works anywhere in the UK.
Every trade
We place bricklayers first, because that is what our companies are short of now. Every other trade is registered and can be placed as the pool fills.

Straight answers
What does it cost?
Free through your first project, then a flat monthly figure per company, given on the first call, before the pilot starts. Trades we place are charged separately: a small percentage of the day rate, only for days actually worked, added on top of the day rate, never taken out of it. There is nothing at all if you never use the pool.
What if my workers will not use it?
Checking in is two taps and it gives them proof of the hours they are owed, so they have their own reason to do it. If a project runs and your team does not adopt it, you have paid nothing and you stop.
Does it work with my accountant?
Yes. Project costs, labour and payments export to Xero and to a spreadsheet. VORDO does not replace your accounting — it feeds it better numbers, sooner.
Is it CIS and HMRC compliant?
Yes. Subcontractor records, deductions and payment history are kept in the format your accountant and HMRC expect.
How long does setup take?
One project, one call. We load your project, your team and your rates. Your workers install an app and tap in on the first morning.
Who owns the data?
You do. It is stored in the UK, GDPR compliant, and you can export all of it at any time, including if you leave.
Where in the UK do you work?
Across England, Scotland and Wales. Placement is densest in the cities listed above, because that is where the work and the workers are. Tell us where the site is on the first call and we will tell you plainly what we can cover.
Can you actually supply the trades, or is that the plan?
We place today, and our pool is smaller than a national agency’s. We are early and we would rather say so than have you find out on a Monday. Bricklayers are what we place now; every other trade is registered and placed as the pool fills. If we cannot cover a gap, we say so instead of sending someone unsuitable.
We already use job software or a spreadsheet. Why change?
Keep it if it works. What VORDO adds is the join: the hours a worker logs on site and the cost on your P&L are the same record, and when you are short we place the trade onto that same job. You are not re-keying between a scheduling tool, a timesheet and a labour agency.
