For UK carpenters
Finish the carpentry. Not the evening typing.
Timber framing. Decking. Bespoke furniture. Repairs. First fix and second fix. Then the quotes waiting when you get home.
VanAdmin is an AI office assistant for carpenters. Tell it the job. Review the draft. Approve before anything goes out.
So you can spend less time typing site quotes, and more time on the tools.

Built in the UK for carpenters and other trades who work on the tools every day.
If you are a sole trader carpenter or run a small team, the day rarely ends when you leave the last stud wall or deck.

Finally finished.
There is another way
Imagine getting your evenings back.
No laptop.
No paperwork.
No "I'll just send one more quote."
Work finished.
Evening starts.
That's better.
That's what VanAdmin is for.
Why VanAdmin exists
I worked in the trades.
I loved the work.
I hated the evening paperwork.
More than 30% of the week went on admin. Most of it after work. Usually at the kitchen table.
It meant less time with my family and less time for the things that mattered outside work. And I could never justify hiring an office manager.
So I built VanAdmin. Something a tradesperson could use between jobs. On the phone. In the van. Without another complicated system.
More time earning. Less time typing.

What VanAdmin takes off a carpenter’s plate
Built around first fix, second fix and site carpentry, not generic office talk.

Describe the stud work and labour. VanAdmin drafts the quote. You check before it goes out.

Draft updates about doors, skirting and finishing without starting from a blank email.
Quote decking without rebuilding the same text
Change size, materials and access notes. Keep the structure of previous quotes.
Handle timber framing enquiries cleanly
Capture the brief, draft the quote and chase without losing details in your notes app.
Turn repair call-outs into proper next steps
