What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t generic project management software — it’s an AI app builder that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in your own words, and Kliv builds the real app: the database, the screens, the workflows, the file store, online payment if you invoice through it, and the access rules. You own it, run it on your own accounts, and change it later by asking. It is not a template.
On this page, that app is a construction and renovation system for leads, estimates, change orders, crews, selections, photos, and invoices. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one.
Why build your own renovation app?
A six-crew design-build shop often lives between two bad options: enterprise construction software built for much larger contractors, and generic project tools that treat a kitchen remodel like a card on a board.
The real facts are specific. Revision three of the estimate is binding. A tile selection is due before the schedule slips. A crew should not open a wall until the change order is approved. Kliv builds the app around those facts.
What the system keeps straight
A remodeling job needs records that survive the whole project.
Leads and site visits
An inquiry becomes a record with address, scope note, and visit date. The pipeline shows what waits on the shop and what waits on the homeowner.
Estimates and change orders
Estimates keep revisions, and the approved revision is binding. Change orders are priced, described, and approved with name and timestamp.
Crews and schedule
Six crews share one calendar. A delayed cabinet delivery can push dependent tasks, and each crew gets a run list.
Selections
Fixtures, tile, and cabinet fronts carry decision deadlines tied to the schedule, so late choices are visible early.
Job photos
Photos upload to the job and phase. Full-resolution originals stay in the file store, and optimized versions load quickly.
Invoices
When a job closes, the invoice can be paid online through checkout on your own Stripe account and recorded on the job.
An example: Nora’s remodeling company
Here’s how one remodeler might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own leads, estimates, crews, selections, change orders, and payment rules.
A kitchen inquiry becomes a lead
A form on Nora’s site creates a lead with address, scope, and a site-visit date. The job no longer lives only in text messages.
The third estimate is approved
Two rounds of scope changes produce three revisions. The homeowner approves revision three, and that version becomes the job record.
Crews work from daily run lists
During demo week, each crew sees where to go and what is blocked. Photos upload to the job every evening.
A change order blocks work until approved
Rotten subfloor adds $2,400. The change order goes to the homeowner and work stays blocked until the approval is recorded.
Selections protect the schedule
The tile deadline approaches, so a scheduled reminder goes out before the decision can delay the bathroom.
The job closes with history attached
Punch-list items get checked off, the final invoice is paid online, and the archive keeps photos, estimates, approvals, and receipts.
Describe the construction app you want
Kliv builds from your description, so include job stages, estimate rules, approval requirements, schedule dependencies, role access, photos, and invoices.
Design-build remodeler
Estimates, change orders, selections, and crews.
“Build a job management app for our six-crew design-build company. Include versioned estimates, online change-order approvals with timestamp, selection deadlines for tile and fixtures, crew schedules with dependencies, and per-job photos by phase.”
Roofing contractor
Inspections, materials, crews, photos, and invoices.
“Build a job tracker for our roofing company with inspection reports, roof photos, material orders by job, crew scheduling, customer approvals, and final invoices paid online through Stripe.”
Painting company
Quotes, rooms, finishes, and before-and-after galleries.
“Build an app for our painting business with quote requests, a job calendar by crew, color and finish selections per room, before-and-after photo galleries, and customer sign-off before final invoice.”
How it comes together
Approvals are records. An approved estimate revision or change order stores who approved it, when, and exactly which document they approved.
Roles match the business. Crews can see run lists and upload photos. The office can see money and margins. The owner can see everything.
Analytics answer shop questions. You can track revenue by lead source, quoted versus final by job type, and custom events you define, without a separate tag manager.
A remodeling shop is a services business with field work, quotes, jobs, invoices, and repeat clients. Running a services business shows the same machinery more broadly.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder that builds custom web apps from a description. For a renovation business, it builds the job records, estimates, schedules, approvals, photos, invoices, and access rules.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the database, screens, file storage, payment flow, and workflows around your shop.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can change job stages, add fields, adjust reminders, add reports, or change approval rules later.
Can homeowners approve change orders online?
Yes. A change order can be sent with a link, and approval can store the name, timestamp, and exact document version.
Where do all the photos go?
Photos go into the file store attached to the job and phase. They are private by default and stay with the job record.
Can the field and office see different things?
Yes. Access is role-based. Crew leads can see schedules and photos, while pricing and margins are limited to roles you choose.
Do we need separate invoicing software?
No, if you want invoicing inside the app. The invoice can be part of the job and paid through checkout on your own Stripe account.
Can estimates keep revisions?
Yes. Each revision can be stored, and the approved revision can be marked as the one the job is built against.
Can selections have deadlines?
Yes. Selections can carry decision deadlines and send reminders before they block the schedule.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Customer-facing pages can run on your own domain.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull.
