To-Do’s on Mobile
In the coming weeks, Tasks will replace To-Do's in Buildertrend. All existing To-Dos – including templated To-Dos – will be automatically migrated to Tasks.
For answers to common questions about this transition, please refer to our Tasks FAQ article here.
The To-Do feature on the Buildertrend mobile app makes it easy to manage tasks directly from the field. Whether it's daily tasks or long-term responsibilities, you and your team can update and track progress in real time.
This keeps everyone aligned, helps meet deadlines, and ensures accountability by clearly assigning ownership of each task.
