Grid 26 came to us with a live-coded prototype built on Base44 and a real problem: they were leaning on a handful of third-party tools, accounting software and the like, that were never going to stretch to what they actually needed. The more we looked at it, the clearer it got. This wasn’t a tidy-up job. It needed a proper rebuild.
So that’s what we’re doing. Construct Flow is the app we’re building for Grid 26: a full construction management platform for running budgets, tracking the financials on every job, and capturing what’s actually happening on site.
Where it started
The first cut was live-coded, quick to stand up and great for proving the idea. But a prototype that leans on bolted-on accounting tools hits a ceiling fast. Grid 26 wanted one place to run their builds, not a spreadsheet, an accounting login and three browser tabs. Once we mapped what they were really asking for, a full rebuild was the honest answer.
What we’re building
This is not a toy. It’s a proper app: a real component system, real data, and a UI that holds up on a laptop in the office and a phone on a noisy site.
Built properly this time
Under the hood it’s a modern, fast stack: React and Vite with TypeScript, a Tailwind and shadcn/ui component system, TanStack for routing, data and tables, and Recharts for the financial views. Behind it sits a typed Fastify API, with Supabase for data and auth. It’s offline-aware too, so a dropped signal on site doesn’t cost you your notes.
It’s a significant build, and it’s a genuinely good showcase of what a custom app looks like when it’s done right instead of stitched together. This is the project we’re working on now, and we’re excited about where it’s heading.
