Document control

Tired of searching through random folders on your desktop? Do you print out documents only to have them get lost in the abyss of paperwork stacks on your desk?

Have no fear, Buildertrend is here!

It’s time to take all of that essential project documentation and store it in one easy-to-access space. And don’t forget about all those job photos and video files. Yeah, we’ve got a place for those, too.

Ready to limit the amount of time you spend on searching for documents, printing files and other repetitive tasks? See how using Buildertrend’s document control features to manage and store your seemingly endless amounts of paperwork and files will ensure easy day-to-day operations.

Get organized and be ready for anything

Did you know Buildertrend offers unlimited cloud-based storage? Well, we do!

Having unlimited storage allows you to keep all documents, files, photos and videos organized and readily available. No more searching through miscellaneous files on your computer or rifling through paperwork in a filing cabinet. All your important information is stored in one place and can be found quickly with organized folders within each job.

Being able to access to your files at a moment’s notice also ensures you’re prepared in the event of a dispute regarding terms of contract or completed projects. And no need for printing hard copies of contracts or other important documents. With the Buildertrend mobile app, all documents, plans and files are available whenever and wherever you need them.

Keep everyone updated and projects on track

Managing all your documents from one central location keeps everyone on the same page. You can avoid additional work by allowing your job site team, office team and subcontractors to view and work from the same documents. Any contractor markups or annotations made will be updated in real time, eliminating the need for guess work and reducing the chance of delays.

Additionally, it’s easy to provide updates with Buildertrend’s Daily Logs feature. When entering a daily log, you and your team have the ability to add documents, photos and videos as a way to verify important project details or work that was completed that day.

Avoid costly job site mistakes

It’s unrealistic to think that job site mistakes never happen, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try your best to avoid them, right?

Storing important documents for each of your jobs in one central location reduces the chance of things getting lost. More importantly, you’re keeping files organized and making it much harder for mistakes to happen in the field. By using Buildertrend’s unlimited document storage, all your files for each project will be neatly organized in job-specific folders. Say goodbye to costly mistakes and say hello to increased efficiency.

Elements of a contract

Maintain great client relationships

Homeowners are excited about their projects and want to be involved every step of the way. A great way to keep them included throughout the process is by sharing files such as photos, videos and necessary documents through Buildertrend’s Customer Portal.

The Customer Portal allows your clients to log in and see all the content you have shared with them. You can share and request signatures on documents and upload progress photos and videos to keep them engaged. Any information you share on the Customer Portal will be there for the duration of the project, so your clients can access and refer to it anytime without having to contact you.

Sharing documents and other files with your clients not only makes them feel included, it maintains their trust and leads to superior client relationships. Get ready for those referrals with construction document management software!
