BuildBook
Simple project management and client portal for residential builders and remodelers.
Overview
BuildBook is a cloud construction management app for residential home builders and remodelers that covers leads, estimates, scheduling, budgets and a client portal at a flat monthly price.
Best for: Small residential builders and remodelers who want an easy, client-facing tool.
What BuildBook does
BuildBook is built for small residential teams that want a clean, client-friendly system rather than a heavy enterprise suite. It handles the sales side with lead tracking, estimates and proposals, then moves won jobs into scheduling with timeline and Gantt views, task lists and punch lists.
Budgets, change orders, bills and invoices keep basic job financials on track, and a client portal gives homeowners one place to see progress, documents and updates. Subcontractor management, document storage and warranty tracking round out the toolset, and it syncs with QuickBooks Online.
Pricing is flat rather than per feature: every plan includes all features, unlimited projects and unlimited clients and subs. Plans are sized by team (Solo for 1 user, Team for 2–5 users and Business for 6–8 users), with a 10-day free trial and no credit card required. BuildBook is based in Denver, Colorado.
