WHAT IT DOES

Construction management software for small-to-mid home builders, in a beta it says is limited to 100 builders (pages read Oct 18, 2026): construction scheduling with Gantt charts and dependency cascades, permitting and inspections, purchasing, budgets and POs, bid management, a sales pipeline, a design center and a homeowner portal. The design center handles room-by-room selections, spec levels (for example Standard, Premium, Luxury), structural options with real-time pricing, per-room allowances that roll overages into change orders, a step-by-step product configurator for items such as cabinets and countertops, and a Trade Copy of selections with all pricing stripped for trades. Its AI agents: StyleSmith AI, which a design or sales user points at a home and one of 10 style themes to compose a whole-home selection set (flooring, tile, cabinets, counters, plumbing, lighting, hardware) from the builder's own catalog at its own retail prices, held inside the home's spec floor and an optional ceiling; the vendor says it reports a gap rather than substituting a higher tier, writes into selections only on command, never overwrites approved or locked selections, never touches structural options and never auto-approves. A buyer style quiz that feeds it is in early access. Also listed: Foreman AI (a natural-language agent with 396+ skills over parts, vendors, homes and budgets, with undo and dry-run on destructive writes), Blueprint AI (PDF floor plan to scope takeoff), Bid Import AI (vendor bids from Excel, PDF, scans or photos into bids or takeoffs, with a confidence table to review), Punchlist AI, an AI MLS listing writer, an AI support agent, and Jobsite AI vendor-arrival detection (listed as coming soon). A built-in MCP server and a REST API with webhooks let Claude, ChatGPT, n8n or your own agent use the same skills on Pro+. The pricing page's comparisons with NEWSTAR, BuildPro, Buildertrend and JobTread are vendor claims and are not used here.
