• Audience-controlled project sharing: Choose whether timeline activity, tasks, and files are visible to builder staff, the builder side, the client team, everyone on the job, or selected people.
• Safer notifications: Access and notifications are now handled separately, so you can control who can see an item and then choose which of those people should receive an alert.
• Clearer team boundaries: Project members and roles can be identified as builder-side or client-side, with sharing defaults for each side and an access review when a change could reveal an item to more people.

• Flexible valuation methods: For indicative pricing, select and prioritise a formal quote, contract rates, daywork rates, or actual cost plus an agreed markup.
• Paperwork matched to the situation: Builder proposals, CVIs, and CVRs now use more specific headings, reasons, valuation wording, and decision sections for the relevant customer and contract context.

The supporting Costing Library documentation has also been updated to match the streamlined experience.

• Clearer job-cost forecasting: See the internal cost budget, committed and accrued costs, actual spend, forecast cost, and forecast margin using consistent definitions across SiteHut.
• Better budget transparency: Job Costs now explains whether the working budget comes from an internal budget, quote cost build-up, or quote selling value fallback.
• More complete variation approvals: Clients can see additions, omissions, tax, the amount being approved, current and revised contract totals, and the stated programme impact before deciding.

This release also includes small reliability fixes for project exports, navigation, document delivery, and commercial reminders.

• Send a copy to yourself: Quotes, invoices, purchase orders, and variation documents can now email a copy to your account while the client receives their normal delivery.
• Simpler delivery choices: Document sending now presents a clearer choice between sending through SiteHut and opening your own email app, with the workspace sending address shown before delivery.
• More helpful resource imports: Blank spreadsheet rows are ignored, cost types are distinguished from cost codes, incompatible codes are flagged during review, and guidance explains exactly where to fix them.
• Safer import review: Changing a resource match now rechecks the import before processing, helping prevent an invalid cost-code decision from slipping through.
• Clearer simple variations: Entering an add or omit value automatically marks the price as assessed, proposed variations explain how time impact will be agreed, and client-facing proposals have a clearer Send to client action.

This release also improves return journeys from document delivery settings and makes several validation messages easier to act on.

• Clearer mobile sections: Long rows of tabs are now replaced by a named section selector across project details, construction, files, expenses, orders, invoices, final account, reporting, team, activity, and tasks.

• Better mobile commercial views: Key figures remain readable in swipeable summary rows, while recommended actions and reporting controls fit more naturally on smaller screens.
• Navigation polish: Improved project back navigation, tab feedback, loading states, and attention-review wording reduce visual clutter and make the next action clearer.

Conversations in context​

• Activity & Comments: Discuss tasks, site diary entries, commercial records, files, and other project items without losing the connection to the original work.
• Unread activity: See where new comments are waiting and jump from a notification directly to the relevant conversation.

• More flexible updates: Simple variations can be updated throughout their lifecycle, with changes saved automatically.
• Approved requests: When a client approves a variation request, the register now treats it as an instructed variation.
• Clearer Library imports: A new column guide explains each resource-import field, while improved validation distinguishes estimating cost codes from resource types and shows more useful row errors.
