Construction companies often outgrow spreadsheets, email chains and disconnected apps as projects become more complex. Buildertrend is designed to bring project management, financial tracking, customer communication and scheduling into a single platform, helping builders manage work from preconstruction<\/a> through project completion.<\/p>\n

What Is Buildertrend?<\/h2>\n

Buildertrend is a cloud-based construction management software platform used to manage projects<\/a>, finances, sales and customer communication. It is commonly used by home builders, remodelers and specialty contractors to coordinate teams, track project progress and manage the entire construction lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Rather than relying on separate tools for scheduling, budgeting, client updates and document management, companies can centralize these workflows within a single system. Buildertrend also includes tools for project management, sales management, financial management, client collaboration, software integrations and business support services.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for software to plan, schedule and track construction projects from start to finish, try ProjectManager instead. ProjectManager<\/a> is award-winning construction project management software that gives construction companies tools to ensure projects are completed on time, within budget and within scope. It allows project managers to create detailed construction schedules, estimate costs, allocate resources, set budgets, track progress and compare estimated versus actual project outcomes using real-time dashboards and reports to quickly identify delays or cost overruns.
