WHAT IT DOES

Construction management platform for established home builders, remodelers, specialty trades and commercial contractors whose work resembles high-end residential (its FAQ, read Oct 18, 2026). Modules on its pricing page cover scheduling, daily logs, tasks, time clock, change orders, selections, a sub portal and warranties; leads, proposals and email marketing; a client portal, file storage and messaging; and bids, bills and purchase orders, budgets, estimates, payments (US only), invoices and takeoff, with QuickBooks, Xero and Gusto integrations. Its AI page lists built-in AI for Client Updates (turns daily job inputs into client summaries), Bill Capture (extracts vendor details, line items and cost codes from bills, inside Bill Pay), Page Naming (organizes uploaded plan sets and slip-sheet revisions), Selections (pulls product data from a supplier URL) and Submittals (scans specifications and plan sets into an importable format); the FAQ also lists AI Search for natural-language questions. Buildertrend says its AI needs no separate ChatGPT, Claude or other AI subscription, and that its AI is built on the company's residential construction expertise and not on individual customer data. Vendor claims, not verified by us: 20,000+ active construction businesses, more than 1,000,000 users since 2006, over half of all new US home builds, and a 97% cut in time spent compiling client updates.

WHO IT'S FOR

Established custom, semi-custom and luxury home builders, remodelers, outdoor living and kitchen and bath trades, and some commercial GCs.
