Software you own. That's the whole idea.
Given builds the operating layer for trades and field-service businesses — pool service, landscaping, general contractors, HVAC — estimating, scheduling, job dashboards — from Wilmore, Kentucky. Churches, nonprofits, and small shops get the same deal. You tell us what you wish existed. We build it. You pay once, and the finished tool is yours forever. No subscription required — ever. No monthly fee to keep what you own. No fine print that says otherwise.
Where the job lives today: your phone.
The bid is on paper. The schedule is a text thread. The invoice is late because nobody's chased it yet. It all works, because you're the one holding it together.
One tool. Yours.
Estimate, schedule, invoices. One place, built around how your shop already runs. You pay once, and it's yours for good.
Six subscriptions, four spreadsheets, and one person's memory.
—Small organizations get four bad options. We're the fifth.
—The best tools you'll ever use are the ones you own.
Your truck, your table saw, your building. Your software should work the same way: bought once, yours to keep, yours to change. Every account, file, and line of code ends up in your name. Not a license. Not a seat. Yours.
AI is a power tool — not a landlord.
AI is how one builder works at the speed of a team, which is why our prices look the way they do. Usually it stays under the hood at build time and never shows up in the finished tool. But if you want AI inside what you own — and plenty of good ideas need it — we build that too: on your own account and your own key, so you control it, you can switch it off, and it keeps working without us. The difference isn't whether there's AI. It's who's holding the keys at the end.
Boring technology is a feature.
Your tools get built on plain web pages, scripts, and spreadsheets — the quiet stuff that's run the world for decades and doesn't change under your feet. Software that works the same way tomorrow as it did today.
Plain sheets and scripts when that's enough. A real hosted database with a login for each person when a job needs it. Either way you can read it, run it, and hand it to the next person.
You talk to the person who builds your thing.
Given is one builder in Wilmore, Kentucky. No account managers, no ticket queues. The person who hears your dream at the table is the person who builds it and the person who hands you the keys.
