What it does
Buildertrend is construction-management software for home builders, remodelers, and specialty contractors. Its project tools cover scheduling, change orders, plans and specifications, client portals, daily logs, job costing, estimates, and communication with subcontractors and clients. The wider business workflow also includes sales and financial management, so the product is aimed at running construction jobs rather than tracking isolated tasks.
A Buildertrend job can bring together the work plan and the communication around a build. Teams can use the project-management area to maintain a schedule, record change orders, keep plans and specifications available, and post daily logs. Client updates and a subcontractor portal give the job team a place to coordinate with people outside the core office. Financial tools such as bids, estimates, and job-cost budgets help connect the work plan with the job's cost picture.
For an illustrative home remodel, the builder could use a schedule for the sequence of trades, log a scope change, and share a progress update with the homeowner. The official site positions Buildertrend for home builders, remodelers, and specialty contractors, with different tools for residential and commercial work. Its pricing page directs prospective customers to contact the vendor or view a demo; it does not publish a standard price in the material reviewed. See the Buildertrend product overview and pricing page.
