Nick Schiffer, Owner
Nick + Buildertrend.
A success story.
NS Builders thought they were getting a tool to better communicate with clients. Instead, they found their secret weapon for overarching, overnight success.
Take his word for it …
Why can’t you go a day without logging into Buildertrend?
I love seeing the progress on my projects. As the owner, I’m usually focused on working on the company, but this allows me to stay connected to what’s going on with jobs.


How is your team better with Buildertrend?
It allows them to get real-time updates on how they’re doing, whether it’s based on the schedule or budget. They can also recap their day and learn how to best communicate that since we’re sharing with the owners as well as the entire team.
What’s the biggest change Buildertrend made to your business?
We’re capturing more job costs, allowing us to be more accurate during billing as well as estimating.
