Manekatti

A family building a house, finally looking at the same numbers.

Scroll to follow the owner's day
01

Eight in the morning. The owner is on site, and the mestri's crew is owed for the week.

02

The owner pays them in cash and writes it into the phone before the crew walks away.

03

The steel arrives. Its bill is photographed on the spot, so it can't go missing.

04

At home, the family sees both payments the moment they're written.

05

The slab has cost more than planned. The owner knows by how much the same afternoon.

06

The plumber's quote comes in. AI reads it and points out that taps aren't included.

07

Evening. Nobody has to call and ask what was paid today.

Who it is for
The owner

Runs the build, and keeps every rupee of it in one place.

Help on site

Adds payments on the days the owner can't be there.

The family

Sees what the owner sees, without having to ask.

Try it

Write down a payment.

Turn the sound on to hear it

Where AI helps

Hand it a quote, or ask it anything about the build.

It knows this house, its budget and how far the work has come. When something needs an engineer, it says so.

YouPlumber quote.pdfCan you check this before I sign?

Manekatti AIThree things to ask first. Taps and fittings aren't included. GST isn't mentioned. And he wants the full amount before starting.

YouSave those for when I meet him.

Manekatti AISaved. They'll be waiting on the plumber's page.

YouWhen should the electrician come in?

Manekatti AIOnce the walls are up and before plastering, so the wiring goes inside the walls. You're two steps away from that.

Ask it yourself
Whose it is

It belongs to the people paying for the house.

The owner sets the budget and decides who else comes in.

OwnerWhoever is building the house

Sets the budget, keeps the books and invites the family.

Can addSomeone the owner trusts on site

Writes in payments and bills when the owner can't be there.

Can lookThe rest of the family

Sees every number and has a say on the ideas.

What it leaves out

It keeps to the family's side of the build. Structure, approvals and the contractor's own books belong to the people trained for them.
