What Buildertrend does

Buildertrend, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, is a cloud-based construction management SaaS platform purpose-built for residential home builders, remodelers, and specialty contractors. The platform unifies scheduling, financials, client communication, procurement, selections, and warranty management into a single system, supported by iOS and Android mobile applications with offline mode. The product surface spans roughly twenty interconnected modules — Estimates, Schedule, Selections, Change Orders, Daily Logs, Time Clock with GPS geofencing, Bids, Budget/Job Costing, Takeoff, Invoices, Bills and Purchase Orders, Client Portal, Sub Portal, Lead Management/CRM, Proposals, Email Marketing, Tasks/Punch List, and Warranties — with native integrations into QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, Gusto, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Pro Xtra (Lowe's). Underlying technology is a cloud-native mobile-first architecture with real-time data synchronization and AI-assisted features including AI Client Updates, AI-enabled Bill Pay, and an ROI Calculator.

The company operates a tiered subscription model historically priced between $399 and $1,099 per month per builder, billed annually with onboarding fees of $400-$1,500+, and recently shifted to volume-based custom quotes stratified across eleven annual revenue brackets. Distribution is sales-led: prospective customers request demos through the company website, work with field sales representatives, and consume ROI calculators and case studies during evaluation; mobile apps additionally serve free team members and clients on paid accounts. Buildertrend serves 20,000+ construction businesses and over one million end users across approximately 80-100+ countries and is rated 4.5 stars on Capterra (5,000 reviews) and 4.3 stars on G2.

The company has raised more than $100 million in disclosed outside capital, with a 2023 growth round and a 2025 investment from Bain Capital Tech Opportunities and HGGC earmarked for acquisitions and product development. Buildertrend acquired CoConstruct in 2021 and has since added Bill Pay (announced IBS 2026), Community by Buildertrend (January 2026), and a Construction Rebates Program with Ferguson (March 2025). Headcount is in the 501-1,000 range. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
