About Forman
Built fromthe work itself.
Forman began with one contractor's determination to make every step between first enquiry and final invoice better — for the builder and for the customer.
A contractor first
A decade of running building firms became the blueprint.
Running property maintenance and construction services taught Rom what actually wins a client — and it was rarely the work alone. It was how the work was presented: the way a contractor introduces themselves, the quote a client opens, the invoice that follows.
For years he tested, trialled and adapted every system he could find, and each one left important pieces missing. So he built one from the inside out — by a contractor, for contractors, with no detail overlooked.
“It was never about adding more software to the day. It was about giving contractors a way to stand out — and win the work.”Rom, founder
Proven on our own jobs
It runs a real company. Every day.
Forman runs Tom Harvey Contractors — a London maintenance, refurbishment, flooring and decorating firm. Quotes like the £45,656.29 refurbishment shown on this site go out, get read and get signed in Forman, and the deposit and stage payments are paid through it too.
The mission
Make every contractor look as professional as the work they deliver.
Quotes should be beautiful, clear and easy to understand. Jobs should progress without information getting lost. Clients should always know what they are approving, what is happening and what comes next.
The ambition is not to become another field-service platform. It is to build the most useful contractor CRM ever made: advanced underneath, remarkably easy to use and considered in every detail.
