How it works

Five stages. Same shape, every project.

01

Survey

Measure the site, capture every dim, agree the brief.

02

Prep

First-fix contractors, structural, everything ready before delivery.

03

Installation

Units, fixtures and fittings - it all goes in.

04

Finish

Second-fix, snagging, paint and tiling to finish.

05

Handover

Sign-off, warranty pack, keys go back.

Every job belongs to a stage. Every stage has an owner. The dashboard always knows whose turn it is.

The problem

Renovations don't fail in the workshop. They fail in the inbox.

01 / CHASING

“Did the electrician come back yet?”

Quotes in Gmail. Updates in WhatsApp. The client phones the designer to ask what the contractor said. Nobody's lying - there's just no shared source of truth.

02 / DIARIES

The week the delivery didn't arrive.

A two-day slip on first-fix knocks the install. Install slips snagging. Handover slips the client's holiday. One diary disagreement, months of damage control.

03 / APPROVALS

“I never agreed to that price.”

Verbal yeses, ranges on a PDF, scope creep nobody priced. Zennic puts every milestone through the same review chain - contractor → designer → client - with a paper trail and a date stamp.

The shift

One project file. Everyone's turn is obvious.

Zennic turns a quote into milestones, routes every price through the same three pairs of hands, and puts the diary where the whole studio - and the client - can read it.

Features

Three things, done properly.

Quote builder

Build a quote, get a project plan.

Add stages, drop them onto the calendar. Zennic turns the quote into milestones - each with an assignee, a review loop and a completion gate - rolled into one project value and deposit from day one.

  • Stages, not spreadsheets
  • Dates that cascade when things move
  • One source of truth for who's on what

Review chain

Every price goes through the same three pairs of hands.

Contractor submits, designer checks, client approves. Each milestone has a status, a who, and a when - so “I never agreed to that” never happens again.

  • Always exactly one actor
  • Changes route back - they don't restart
  • Plain English for clients: “Jon's putting the price together”

Schedule

One diary the whole studio can read.

The studio sees every active milestone across projects - calendar or timeline. Clients get a plain-English view of their own project. Same milestones underneath.

  • Calendar or timeline
  • One shared diary - studio and clients

Who it's for

One tool. Four very different jobs.

Designers

Your quotes, all in one place.
  • Build quotes stage by stage, tagged to contractors
  • Hand off without leaving the file
  • One inbox of what’s waiting on you
  • Clients auto-notified as milestones land
See Zennic for designers

Project managers

Your studio, at a glance.
  • People view - roles, availability, time off
  • Every active milestone on one calendar or timeline
  • Studio queue: needs you / overdue
  • Average review time, so bottlenecks show
See Zennic for project managers

Contractors

Your jobs, on your schedule.
  • Price in your own time
  • Propose dates when you quote
  • Site photos straight onto the milestone
  • Clean, dated sign-off
See Zennic for contractors

Clients

Your project, on track.
  • One screen: where things stand and who’s on it
  • No jargon - plain English
  • One-tap approvals
  • Clear start and wrap dates
Instead of…

Why not the tools you already have?

Spreadsheets + WhatsApp + email

No owner, no audit trail. Sunday-night chasing across six inboxes.

One project file, dated review chain.

Compare in detail
Generic PM tools

Wrong metaphor - boards and tickets. Clients bounce off them.

Stage-native renovations, plain English for clients.

Compare in detail
Field service software

Built for same-day callouts, not multi-week projects.

Multi-week design → install DNA.

Compare in detail
Heavy construction suites

Too much, too slow, priced for volume builders.

Calm, focused, studio-shaped.

Not for you if…

  • You run same-day plumbing or HVAC callouts at volume
  • You're a full custom-home builder who needs heavy estimating and finance as the core product
  • You want a generic task tool with a kitchen sticker on it

Built for…

  • Design & install studios running multi-week kitchen, bathroom and bedroom projects
  • Teams working with external contractors
  • Studios where clients approve prices and need to know what's happening
The shape of it

No dashboards of vanity metrics. Just the structure.

5stages

Same shape every project, survey to handover.

3checks

Contractor, designer, client - on every price.

1place

Quote, calendar and sign-off in one project file.

0sheets

Spreadsheets to keep in sync. None.

Built by people who've missed the morning. Zennic started in a kitchen studio, not a software office - a small team in Manchester building the thing they wished they'd had when projects lived in six inboxes.

Questions

Asked before every demo.

How much does Zennic cost?

We're in invite-only beta, so there's no card and no charge to start. We walk pricing through on the demo, and public plans are coming.

How long does setup take?

Your first project is set up with you on the onboarding call - it's not a six-week implementation.

Will my contractors actually use it?

They get a job-shaped view: price the work, propose dates, drop site photos, sign off. Not another bloated portal to log into.

What about my clients?

Plain English, one-tap approvals, clear start and wrap dates. No status codes, no jargon.

Can we migrate mid-project?

Yes - most studios start with one live job or their next quote. No big-bang migration required.

Where is our data hosted? GDPR?

EU-hosted and GDPR-ready, with export in one click. Your data stays yours.

Is this only for kitchens?

Kitchens first - but the same five stages run bathrooms and bedrooms just as well.

Do you replace CAD or accounting?

No. Zennic is the operational spine between design, install and client - not design tooling, and not your accountant.
