Why we built it

Even the big builders don't run on one system.

People assume national builders have it all connected. They don't. Costing sits on one platform, estimating on another, finance on a third — and permitting is usually somebody's spreadsheet.

It works, but it costs you meetings. Nobody knows where a permit actually stands without asking. And when that person leaves, what they knew leaves with them.

I worked inside those companies across sales, finance and production, supporting the costing team, the estimators and permitting. Then I started building homes myself and found I'd rebuilt the same mess — permits in a spreadsheet, invoices in email, vendor insurance in a folder on somebody's desktop.

BuilderOne isn't trying to run every part of your business. It puts permitting on the same system as costing, estimating and production — so you can see when permits are coming out, when starts are landing, and where everyone actually stands.

Features

The money side of building, finally connected.

Most construction software is a scheduling tool with invoicing bolted on. BuilderOne is built around what decides whether you make money on a house.

Permitting command center

Request every permit document from the right vendor. Every request is dated out and dated back, so delays have a name and a number.

  • ✓ Survey, site plan, truss, energy, septic — each with its vendor
  • ✓ Turnaround and aging reports across every open job
  • ✓ Documents live on the project, not on a desktop
  • ✓ Nothing walks out the door when staff leave

Budget vs. actual, live

Estimates, purchase orders and bills all meet on the same cost code. Watch margin move as buyout comes in, not three months after closing.

  • ✓ A 27-phase estimate template as the spine
  • ✓ POs and bills roll to the same code
  • ✓ Contract value plus change orders vs. real spend
  • ✓ Excel export for your accountant

Vendors who can't slip through

No purchase order goes out to a vendor whose liability, workers' comp or auto coverage has lapsed. The system blocks it and chases the certificate.

  • ✓ Onboarding packet and approval gate before the first PO
  • ✓ Insurance expiry tracking with automatic reminders
  • ✓ A vendor roster per project, by scope
  • ✓ Line-item bid requests from your own company email

What we have that they don't.

Everyone here does scheduling and job costing. The difference is what happens before the slab and after the invoice. We've also listed what they have and we don't — founding members decide what gets built first.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is my data mixed in with other builders'?

No. Every company gets its own isolated database. Your vendors, your costs, your margins. Nobody else can see them, including other builders on the platform.

Do I have to import everything myself?

No. Founding members get their vendor directory and cost database imported for them, plus a one-on-one setup session. You start with a working system, not an empty screen.

Can I connect my own email?

Yes. Connect your Microsoft account and purchase orders, bid requests and permit document requests go out from your company's address, not ours.

What does it cost?

Founding pricing lands well under what a comparable stack runs, with seats included and an annual option that saves more. Join the list and we'll send exact numbers.

What if I want to leave?

No contract. Cancel any time and export your data. We'd rather earn the renewal.
