Variation capture
Never lose a variation again — capture it the moment it happens.
Who it’s for: Builders who agree changes on site and lose them by the time they're back at the desk.
Your flow
The problem
Variations get agreed on site and forgotten by the time you are back at the desk. Undocumented scope is money you never get paid for, and the argument you never win.
How it works
- 1
Record it on site
Tap record and say what changed, in your own words. No forms while you are on the tools.
- 2
We draft the variation
Sabeam turns the voice note into a structured variation — what changed, the cost impact, the time impact — ready to send.
- 3
Send for sign-off
Review, adjust the price, and send the homeowner a clean variation to approve. A polished PDF, straight from the job.
Before and after

- Arguments at the end of the job
With Sabeam
- Every variation captured at the moment of change

- Scope changes you actually get paid for

Questions
- Do I have to type anything?
- No. Talk on site and Sabeam writes the variation — what changed, the cost and time impact. You just review and price it.
- Can the homeowner approve from their phone?
- Yes. They get a clean variation to approve — no login or app required.
- How does this relate to Speak it?
- Speak it is the front door — one voice note can draft a variation plus a message to the sub and a note for the plan, all at once. This is where your variations then live, get priced, and go to the homeowner for sign-off.
