Buildertrend
Buildertrend gives contractors one platform to manage projects, track finances, and keep clients informed from first lead to final payment.
Overview
Buildertrend has served the construction industry since 2006 and now supports more than 1 million users across 100 countries. The platform combines project scheduling, job costing, client communication, and sales management into a single system, so you stop bouncing between spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected tools. Real users report saving 20 hours per week, cutting daily phone calls by 80 percent, and boosting team productivity by 50 percent. One remodeling company scaled from $2 million to $5 million in revenue after adopting the platform. Buildertrend connects with QuickBooks, Xero, Gusto, and The Home Depot Pro Xtra, so your existing workflows stay intact. Every subscription includes unlimited users and unlimited projects, which means your cost stays predictable as your team and job count grow. Onboarding specialists help you import data and configure the system before you go live.

Best for
Buildertrend fits residential home builders, remodelers, and specialty contractors who manage five or more projects per year and want to grow toward seven or eight figures in annual revenue. It works best for owners who currently juggle multiple disconnected tools and need one system to align their field teams, office staff, and clients.
Why this SMB score
Buildertrend delivers proven, measurable results for growing construction businesses, but the lack of published pricing and its clear positioning toward higher-revenue contractors make it a harder fit for very small or budget-constrained operations just starting to professionalize their workflows.
