01 / Why timing matters

Most renovations go wrong before they begin.

The best projects are organised before the build starts on site, otherwise costly mistakes are already baked in. Start early and these are the traps you simply walk around.

0%

Budgets blow out

Most homeowners overspend because they never set a real budget before work starts.

0%

Insurance quietly voided

Two-thirds forget to tell their insurer before works begin, which can void their cover.

Quotes you can't compare

With no structured scope, every quote looks different and you can't tell who is being fair.

No paper trail

Decisions, invoices and messages scattered across texts and email, with nothing to fall back on.

Start before any of this can happen.

Real stories from real renovators.

Best tool for UK renovations
“BAM Renovate is the best project management tool I've found for UK renovations and self-builds. It creates realistic budgets and schedules, not generic templates, the interface is genuinely easy to use, and it's clearly built for how UK projects actually run. The founder support is incredibly responsive.”

From the founder

Why I built Bricks & Mortar.

“I've spent over a decade in residential construction, managing complex renovations for some of the UK's most demanding clients. When friends started buying houses and asking for advice, I saw the same pattern: every tool was built for contractors, nothing for homeowners. Bricks & Mortar was created to fix that.

It's not about replacing professionals, it's about giving you the confidence and control to manage your renovation the right way. I've seen how stressful renovations can be. Let's fix it together.”

Questions

Everything you might be wondering.

Bricks and Mortar is a UK renovation project management app for homeowners. It lets you plan, budget and manage your whole renovation in one place, with a team of specialists on hand for structured guidance whenever you need it.

Not at all. Bricks and Mortar is built for homeowners with zero construction experience. Everything is in plain English, and Rhino explains anything you're unsure about.

As early as possible, ideally while you're still planning. The biggest savings and fewest headaches come from getting set up before any work begins.

No. Every tool works manually. Rhino is there if you want a shortcut or a second opinion, but you're never forced to use it.

Yes. You start with a 7-day free trial, no card needed. After that, pay monthly at £19, or save with a one-off 6-month (£99) or 12-month (£179) plan. You can cancel the monthly plan anytime.

Start your renovation the right way.

Join the homeowners who got organised early, stayed in control, and got the home they pictured.
