The CRM for your trade
The CRM built for home builders
Without Standin
A family wants to build and writes on a Sunday. Answer Monday afternoon and they have already met a competitor.
With Standin
Standin builds a CRM made for home builders: your job sites, your quotes and your invoices, in your own words. While you are out on the job, it answers new requests and fills in the client's file, so you stop losing work just because you could not pick up.
Free plan, no credit card required.

Your CRM fields, already in place.

Built for how home builders really work
Ordinary client-tracking software is designed for salespeople. For home builders, it misses the point: you are not running a sales funnel, you are running job sites, quotes and service calls. Standin starts from your trade and sets up the steps and fields that actually matter, like "Land address" or "Project type".
The copilot takes over when your hands are full. It reads your emails and messages, answers everyday questions in your tone, and fills in the client's file before you have even reached for your phone. You review, you approve, and nothing is sent without your agreement.

“Hello Emily, yes, I cover Oak Park. The service call and assessment are $45, taken off the quote if you go ahead. I can come Thursday morning between 9 and 11, does that work for you?”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Standin answers
Can I follow a build over eighteen months?
Yes. Long stages are the point: study, permit, foundations, structure, finishing, handover. The record keeps everything, however old.
Can I track payments by stage?
The amount is a field, and the Accounting page adds up what is committed, what is in and what is still owed, stage by stage.
Can I invite my site manager without giving them everything?
Yes. You decide what each person sees, and the amounts lock separately from the rest.
Is Standin a good fit for home builders?
Yes. You describe your work in a few sentences and Standin builds a CRM made for home builders: your stages, your fields, your words, not a generic template.
What information does Standin track for home builders?
Your CRM tracks what matters in your trade, for example "Land address", "Project type" or "Budget". You can add, rename or remove any field at any time.
How does the copilot answer my clients while I work?
It reads your emails and messages, drafts a reply in your tone and updates the file. You approve before it goes out, or you turn on auto-send if you prefer.
Is it free?
You start for free: you create your CRM and try the copilot without paying.
Do I stay in control of what is sent to my clients?
Yes. The copilot drafts the replies, but nothing is sent without your approval, unless you turn on auto-send yourself.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Standin runs in your browser, on your computer or your phone. There is nothing to install.
How long does it take to get started?
A few minutes. Answer a few questions about your trade and your CRM is ready, already seeded with example records.
