About

BLDG Construction is a family-run company based in Bristol, established in November 2021. Serving primarily domestic clients, the company prides itself on guiding customers through an enjoyable and collaborative construction journey. The focus is not only on delivering a high-quality finished product but also on making the entire process a positive experience.

Day-to-day coordination is a lot easier with Fonn. We love the simplicity of it, and it’s a huge time saver.

BLDG Construction is a family-run business that helps homeowners and businesses create spaces that inspire and endure. They’re known for meticulous planning, exceptional quality, and complete customer satisfaction.

Working to such high standards on multiple projects at once created a problem for Managing Director Callum Knapp: it became increasingly difficult to keep track of client messages, texts, and emails. Apart from the sheer volume of messages, Callum found emails could be a little more formal than he’d like when dealing with clients and subcontractors.

He needed a central place for all client communication. Something that could keep everything organised while also staying true to their open and friendly style.

The solution? Fonn

Since implementing Fonn, Callum considers it a lifesaver, keeping every project running as it should. He’s even got his building partners on board by showing them just how simple it is: a true testament to Fonn’s user-friendly design.

Fonn has been a huge time-saver for BLDG Construction. No more confusing and time-costly back-and-forth on multiple communication channels; with Fonn, clients, project managers, and subcontractors are together on one platform.

Now project information is easy to find, issues are quickly resolved, and questions are answered in record time, keeping everybody on the same page, and projects on track.

Before Fonn, price variations or subcontractor mistakes meant money was lost without anyone noticing. Now, all project details (including charts, progress photos, and prices) are logged on the platform so nothing gets missed.
