Built for the bricklayer who quotes patios in the morning, lays footings by lunch, and shouldn't have to spend Sunday evenings on a tax return. Job tracking, materials, photos, and HMRC MTD – in one app.
Graft was built specifically because none of the existing tools fit how a bricklayer actually works.
Materials calculator on a notepad. Margins guessed. Customer waits a week for a quote that arrives by text. Lost jobs because someone faster got there first.
Jewson, Travis Perkins, B&Q – fuel, sand, cement, slabs. By Friday it's a paper avalanche. By April it's a problem.
You can't tell. Time on site isn't logged. Materials are mixed across three jobs. Profit per job is a guess.
Quarterly Making Tax Digital from April 2026. Spreadsheets won't cut it. Penalty points stack. £200 fines.
Designed for one person on a phone, on a job, with dirty hands. Not for an accountant in an office.
Materials, m², labour, margin. Send a branded PDF before you leave the site.
Jewson docket, B&Q till slip, fuel receipt. Camera does the typing.
Tap to clock in. Tap to clock out. Logged against the job. No timesheets.
Quarterly returns auto-prepared from the work you already logged. One tap to HMRC.
On the tools all week, paperwork at the weekend — that's the old way. Graft logs your day rate, materials and plant hire on site, so your Making Tax Digital figures are done before you've washed the muck off.
Trowels, lines and pins, spirit levels, jointers, bolsters and lumps.
Boots, gloves, hi-vis, knee pads and wet-weather gear.
Cement mixer, forklift, dumper and scaffold or tower hire.
Van finance, diesel, insurance and the miles to each site.
CSCS card, first aid and any NVQ or course fees.
Sand, cement, wall ties and DPC where you supply them yourself.
If you're a sole trader bricklayer earning over £50,000, you must keep digital records and file quarterly from April 2026. Graft records your day rate and materials on site and files the quarterly update for you.
Tools, PPE, plant and scaffold hire, van and fuel, CSCS and training, plus any materials you buy. Graft logs these against each job so your profit per job is real, not a guess.
Yes — bricklaying is squarely within CIS. Graft records the 20% (or 30%) deducted by your contractor so your quarterly and year-end tax add up.
