Buildertrend
Buildertrend has run since 2006 out of Omaha, Nebraska, and it is one of the heaviest tools in this niche. Budgets sit next to schedules, daily logs, bids, purchase orders and change orders, so a job going over budget shows up long before the final invoice. It syncs with QuickBooks and Xero, handles online payments and gives clients a portal for selections and approvals. In 2021 the company bought CoConstruct, and both products now serve the same market.
Built for builders and remodeling firms running several jobs at once. Entry pricing starts near one hundred dollars a month on promotional terms and climbs with users and modules. Solo contractors often pay for parts they never open, and setup takes real hours: cost codes, templates, team training. Phone and email support helps a lot during that first month.
