Build a renovation consulting and project management platform
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe the renovation consulting platform you need — client rooms, decisions, budgets, trade schedules, photos, and change records — and it builds it on your own domain.
Just enter your idea into the text box and AI will build it for you
What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a contractor product you configure — it’s an AI that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in your own words, and Kliv builds it: the database, the private client rooms, the forms, the schedules, the files, the payment flow, and the screens. What you get is a real web app that’s yours, on your own domain. You can use it, change it later by asking for changes, and run it on your own accounts, including your own Stripe account when you collect fees. It isn’t a template with your name on it.
On this page, that app is a renovation consulting and project management platform. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one example.
Why the homeowner binder falls behind
Renovations often fail in the gaps between trades: decisions due before rough-in, bids that change the budget, photos that matter months later, and change approvals that need a date. The homeowner may be the only person watching the whole project, and they usually have a day job.
Kliv builds the platform around the consultant’s job. Each family gets one private room. Decisions know which trade is waiting. Budgets show budgeted, quoted, and paid. Site notes and photos stay attached to the project. Change records include the price and the approval date.
The project, seen from the owner’s chair
A renovation is many small facts that need one place to live.
Trades and scopes
Each scope keeps competing bids, the chosen quote, and the contract. Who won the tile work and at what number is on the record.
The decision list
Every selection has a deadline and knows which trade is waiting. A tile decision can be due 19 days before rough-in because the schedule says so.
The budget, three ways
Each line shows what was budgeted, what was quoted, and what has been paid. An overage appears when the quote lands, not at the final invoice.
The site diary
Weekly notes and photos live in the file store under the project’s access rule. Open-wall photos are searchable later.
The change record
Each change records what changed, the price, and when the owners approved it. The invoice does not carry surprises.
An example: Ranya’s owner’s-rep practice
Here’s how one consultant might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own projects, scopes, budget rules, client access, contractor access, and payment flow.
The homeowners get one private room
Ranya opens the Berg kitchen project, enters the $72,000 budget line by line, lists the scopes, and invites the Bergs into a room that shows only their renovation.
Bids update the committed budget
Cabinet quotes land side by side on the scope. When Ranya marks the chosen bid, the budget line updates to the committed number.
The schedule drives decision deadlines
Rough-in is set for the 24th, so the tile decision calculates its own due date. A reminder reaches the Bergs three weeks out.
A surprise becomes an approved change
Knob-and-tube wiring appears behind the wall. Ranya creates a change record with the electrician’s price, and the Bergs approve from a phone at work. The approval date stays on the project.
The final invoice matches the record
The final budget shows budgeted, quoted, and paid columns. Ranya’s $4,250 consulting fee collects online in two milestones through checkout on her Stripe account.
Describe what you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include project rooms, access rules, budgets, decision deadlines, photos, changes, and payments. Here are three to build on:
Kitchen renovation oversight
One project, nine trades, and a decision list.
“Build a renovation oversight app for a $72,000 kitchen project. Track nine trade scopes, competing bids, chosen quotes, decision deadlines tied to rough-in and install dates, a budget with budgeted, quoted, and paid columns, and a weekly photo diary the homeowners can browse.”
Whole-house owner’s rep
Several private client rooms.
“Build an owner’s-rep platform where I run six renovations at once. Each family should see only its own project. Budgets should track quoted against paid by line, contractors should upload documents only to their own scope, and owners should approve changes in writing from their project room.”
Design-stage consulting
Selections and allowances before construction.
“Build a pre-construction consulting app where clients work through a selections list with allowances, due dates, and inspiration photos. Every choice should record who approved it and when, and the final selections package should export before bidding.”
Where the calm comes from
One room per family. Six projects can run at once, and each family signs into only its own renovation. The boundary is applied by the database on every query.
Trades see their slice. A contractor’s login opens its own scope, schedule, and documents, not the owner’s full budget or other bids.
Deadlines can do their own chasing. A nightly job can read the decision list and send what is due to whoever needs to act. The consultant does not have to chase every selection by hand.
The day Ranya hires her first associate, this stops being a binder and starts being a firm. Scheduling, invoicing, and client rooms for service practices are what running a service business on Kliv covers.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI that builds custom web apps from a description. For renovation consulting, that can mean client rooms, scopes, budgets, decision lists, photos, change approvals, contractor access, and fee collection.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the database, access rules, screens, workflows, and client-facing pages around your consulting process.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can add budget fields, change decision rules, add contractor roles, adjust reminders, or revise the client room later.
Can one client ever see another client’s project?
No, if you define one private room per project. A family is served its own rows and no others.
What happens when a decision runs late?
The app can show the consequence on the schedule, including which trade is waiting and what date moves. Late becomes a visible fact instead of a memory.
Do contractors get logins too?
Yes. Contractor logins can be scoped to their own scope, documents, and schedule, while budgets and owner notes stay outside their access.
Where do the photos live?
In the file store, attached to the week and project, under the project’s access rule. The photos stay searchable for warranty questions or disputes.
Can I collect my consulting fee online?
Yes. If you charge milestone fees, checkout can run through your own Stripe account and record the payment on the project.
Do clients need their own Stripe accounts?
No. Clients pay by card. Stripe is how money reaches your account.
Can budgets track quoted against paid?
Yes. Budget lines can hold budgeted, quoted, committed, and paid values, depending on what you ask for.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The platform and client rooms 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 rather than a rebuild.
