Buildertrend Reviews
When our customers succeed, we succeed
From day one, it’s been our mission to change the way the world builds – by giving builders the tools to move their business forward. We take customer feedback seriously because it shapes the development of our software. Our commitment to their success is why we’re trusted by leading construction pros from around the world.
As a full-service residential contractor, organization and communication are key to every project’s success — and Buildertrend has become the backbone of our workflow. From pre-construction through project completion, it keeps our team, subs, and clients aligned with real-time updates, budgets, and schedules all in one place. Their training program is absolutely top-notch — thorough, hands-on, and truly focused on helping you master the platform. The support team goes above and beyond, walking you through everything until you’re fully confident using the system. The mobile app, QuickBooks integration, and client communication tools make it easy to maintain professionalism and transparency on every job. Buildertrend isn’t just software; it’s a game-changer for how we manage projects, communicate with clients, and grow as a company. — Crest Residential Construction
This product was a game changer for us! In the field and at the office. After using it for a few months, our subcontractors love it so much they will actually ask us “when are you updating info in Buildertrend”. It not only helps us and our clients keep track of the project timeline, it helps our subcontractors keep their schedules together for their own jobs knowing what we are doing at ours. The finishes function allows clients to approve so that there is no “I never picked that” on any project. It allows you to link products and specs and text/comment clients within each selection. The change orders function literally got us paid on over $90K in extras on ONE job because the client had developed a “selective memory”. The client can approve/sign change orders from anywhere in the world, so no excuses for not getting to sign because they are traveling or not at the office. I have used two other products like this and Buildertrend has everything in one spot without costing us $30K per year like some of the other project management tools. Lastly, anytime I’ve had a question or get stuck, the help function has solved things right away. And they DO get back with you quickly! Very impressed! Thank you guys and keep up the hard work!!! -Mike
We’ve been using BuilderTrend since we started our business in 2018, and it has grown right alongside us. Over the years, we’ve incorporated nearly every feature—from scheduling and budgeting to client communication and selections—as our company and project load expanded. The platform has been a huge asset in helping us stay organized, transparent with our clients, and efficient as a team. BuilderTrend continues to evolve and add features that support real construction workflows, and their support team is always responsive and helpful. Highly recommend to any builder or remodeler looking for an all-in-one project management solution!
As the owner of Alderview, I have seen firsthand how Buildertrend has transformed the way our team works. Communication is clearer and more efficient, and the Purchase Order feature gives us an instant snapshot of subcontractor payments. The Daily Logs and Schedule tools keep our projects organized and transparent, which helps us deliver a smooth process for our clients. At Alderview, we believe true luxury is not only in the finished product but in how the entire experience feels. Buildertrend has become a key part of helping us provide that elevated experience, and their support team has been consistently helpful whenever we have needed it.
Have used Buildertrend for roughly 7 years. Pros: – Customer support teams are nice, professional and knowledgable. – Platform has most of what you need for running backend of a building or remodeling company. Cons: – Slow to innovate/introduce new features . – Overpriced – Took their market position for granted and now there are better options available. – Lacking company specific customization within the platform. Overall, I would not recommend using Buildertrend. As a builder you will be locked into their platform unless you want to engage in the tedious task of switching your existing clients to a new platform mid project. There are better options and this company doesn’t seem to have your best interests in mind.
At CopeGrand Homes, we’re committed to giving our clients what we call The Grand Experience—a seamless, transparent, and personalized journey from the very first conversation to the final walk-through. Buildertrend has become an integral part of delivering that promise. It is more than project management software—it’s the backbone of how we keep projects organized, clients informed, and our team aligned. The truth is, luxury clients expect both craftsmanship and exceptional service. Buildertrend gives us the tools to deliver on both. It reduces miscommunication, keeps the entire team accountable, and ultimately makes the building process smoother, faster, and more enjoyable for everyone involved. If you’re a builder looking for a way to elevate your business, improve your client relationships, and keep your projects running like clockwork, Buildertrend isn’t just worth trying—it’s worth building your whole process around.
Lots of “website maintenance” that means the platform is frequently slow or completely unavailable. You can’t tag or @ mention anyone in the comment section of Daily Logs which is a huge miss. The email or messaging is out dated. Loading times are always a problem. It needs to be revamped.
Just started with BT and am blown away, in a great way, by the product and company Culture. It is so nice to work with happy, solution oriented people. Transitioning to this new product has lots of moving parts for us and communication with BT has been easy, fast, and effective.
Buildertrend University was a great experiences especially for businesses just starting out. The staff was amazing and very friendly. You can tell they care about their clients. Great environment
Absolutely love the Buildertrend team!! Working with everyone these 2 days is amazing for our business growth! Huge shout out to and thanks to Jen Reyes!!
Behind the Business: See how high-performing builders found success with tech
There’s life before Buildertrend – and then there’s after
“Without construction software, it’s really hard to show you have any systems or protocol as a company. With Buildertrend, we have effective systems, clear expectations, a way to communicate with out-of-state clients, diagnosis prior to projects to ensure we’re evolving successfully as a company. The list goes on.” – Brad Leavitt, president of AFT Construction in Scottsdale, Arizona
Working simpler to solve problems for clients
“The one thing we can always rely back to is our process with Buildertrend. The weekly communication we use with Buildertrend can fill in as an opportunity to communicate with clients in a timely manner.” – Katie Kath, partner and interior designer at Jkath Design Build + Reinvent in Minneapolis, Minnesota
From faulty spreadsheets to construction tech
“So many of the mistakes that are made in this industry are due to human error. To be successful, you have to attach numbers, systems and processes to everything you’re doing. That happens in Buildertrend.” – Joe Christensen, founder and owner of Cardinal Crest Homes in Kansas City, Missouri
For residential builders who want to work on their business – not in it

“If you’re looking for efficiency and have more than one job open at a time, you’ve got to have Buildertrend.”
– Ryan Jenkins, Tass Construction Group

“Literally we’re budgeting a remodeling job in about 30 minutes.”
– Monty Brock, DMJ Restorations

“We used to have all this paper documentation in the field for the guys to work from. And it’s so nice to have it all digital.”
– Liz Vaughan, of Vaughan + Co.
