4) Selections simplified

When it comes to home construction projects, you’ve got many choices to make. This can take a lot of time, a lot of energy and a lot of face-to-face meetings to complete.

Or, you can do it right from the comfort of your own couch. With Buildertrend, your contractor can simplify the selections process for you. Easily choose plumping fixtures, window treatments, flooring options and more (lots more) just by logging into your Buildertrend app.

Even better, Buildertrend tracks your project running total based off the choices you make, so it’s easy to stay within budget.

Decisions, decisions … not so dizzying anymore, are they?

Receive invoices from your contractor and make payments toward your home construction job with a touch of a button – it’s all within the Buildertrend app. Getting paid faster is surely something your contractor won’t complain about.

For a platform that helps contractors rise above paper and pen, Buildertrend sure does a good job keeping everyone on the same page.
