Real jobs, run commercially, from foundations to finish.
Programme case studies will appear here from spring 2027 as the first cohort finishes. Until then, these are the jobs 369 has delivered commercially and the systems it has built, described plainly.
Contemporary self-build, York
Full project management for a private client from design co-ordination through procurement and construction. 369 ran the tender for the groundworks and frame packages, set the payment terms, and holds the programme and cost plan live week by week.
- Procurement on the client's own terms, not the contractor's standard order
- Variations priced and agreed before work proceeds, every time
- Weekly cost report to the client in one page
Stone new-build, and a rural self-build in Devon
Acting as the client's commercial lead: reviewing the contractor's quotations and exclusions, setting valuation and payment process, and handling the contractual correspondence when scope and money disagreed. The client gets a QS in their corner without a QS on the payroll.
- Quotation exclusions turned into priced items before contract
- Valuation process agreed in writing before the first application
- Disputes handled by letter and record, not on site
From sketch to handover
A residential build taken from the owner's first elevation sketch through planning, pricing, procurement and completion. The finished kitchen is the image on this page; the sketch it started from is on the Build Yourself page, because that is the point of both.
Systems built for other businesses.
Training business, supported-living sector
Funnels, landing pages, email automation and paid-ads management rebuilt on the 369 Automated Marketing system; the client's own team trained to run it. Twelve-month engagement.
Trade and local-service websites
Hosted, maintained and updated sites for small trade and service businesses in North Yorkshire, with domain and email management.
Event site
A full event website with registration built on the 369 system for a 2027 transformation event, from domain to RSVP automation.
