The leader of residential construction management platforms

After nearly two decades in the industry, we know what builders need: To work simpler, see more growth and calm the chaos in their business. That’s why we’re vowing to help construction pros take back their lives – and change the way the world builds.

Our mission

Here at Buildertrend, we aim to bring order and efficiency to the construction process for all by empowering residential contractors with a better way to run their business. We know the challenges builders face today, and with that knowledge we can create solutions to the industry’s greatest problems.

Our vision

Is to change the way the world builds. Simply said, we’re leading residential contractors into the future and away from the hassle of disorganized paperwork and spreadsheets. Our customers run their companies – not the other way around – with our platform as the foundation of their business.

Where we’ve been – and where we’re headed

2006: Humblest of beginnings

Our three founders – Dan Houghton, Steve Dugger and Jeff Dugger – joined forces to create a new solution for the home builder, remodelers and specialty contractors building the communities of tomorrow. In their first year of establishment, the trio hired three employees and moved into their first real office in Omaha, Nebraska.

2008: Defying the recession

Powering through the Great Recession, we ended the year with 80% growth and expanded into the remodeling industry.

2011: Growing globally

Moving beyond North America, we began building a strong customer base in New Zealand and Australia.

2012: Buildertrend goes mobile

Twenty employees and 100,000 users later, Buildertrend released its first mobile app for both iOS and Android. A true game-changer for both the SaaS and construction industries, going mobile meant our builders could be even more efficient and productive in the field.

2018: More value with Additional Services

Buildertrend grew its strategic partnerships to provide even more value to our customers. By offering Buildertrend University, Onsite Consulting and Pro Websites, builders could more quickly master our tech and improve their online presence.

2019: The 500 club

Two big milestones were met by hiring our 500th employee and serving our one millionth user. Our marketing efforts doubled down as we revealed a new brand, mission and logo.

2023: The next era of Buildertrend

With several notable acquisitions – including CBUSA, the leading group purchasing organization for home builders – and a more robust set of tools and services to offer our customers, we evolved from a project management platform to an all-in-one solution for running a better construction business.

More profits, more efficiency and more control – here’s proof

We were using Excel and Google Sheets trying to organize budgets, draws, email messaging and file management. I got frustrated on a couple things and said, “There’s just got to be a better way.”

We love the ability to keep our field crews and clients updated in real time with scheduling changes, progress images, invoicing and more.

We didn’t have any documented systems before construction project management software. The analogy of kicking our team off of the pier and hoping they can swim, comes to mind. Now, we have a clear expectation of what a supervisor needs to do on a daily basis and how they perform successfully at their job.

I liked how Buildertrend gave us the ability to keep everything centralized. … I knew this was the tool to keep the guys organized.
