Upcoming selections are automatically flagged to help keep you on schedule. With just a few clicks, you can enter your choices.
Milestones
Understand the next steps. Buildertrend provides easy access to everything about your project. You can make selections, see progress, browse photos, review financial decisions, send messages, and more. All from any computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Builder's To-Do List
See items as they happen. Your builder may choose to post some to-do items on Buildertrend. While you cannot add items to this list, viewing it can help give you an idea of how things are moving along in your home.
Warranty List
Easily track loose ends. Once your home is complete, you can submit warranty requests online. You can come back to Buildertrend to check the status, add comments as necessary, and then verify when they are complete.
Email Updates
Let new information come to you. You can access Buildertrend at any time, but if there is something updated that you need to see on the site, you will also receive an e-mail each morning letting you know.
Expense and Change Orders
Eliminate “sticker shock”. Every decision made on the selection sheet is automatically reflected on the expenses page. With a single click, you can see how each of your choices has affected the final price of your home. If you need to approve a change order, you can do it electronically, saving you the time and hassle of faxing or mailing signatures to your builder.
Questions List
Never lose answers to your questions. Over the course of a project, you will have lots of questions, and Buildertrend will help you keep all of those questions, and your builder’s answers, organized and in one place. Simply enter your questions here, and your builder’s responses will be listed right next to them.
Comments, Photos and Files
Stop jumbled e-mails. As your home progresses, you will need to have “conversations” about certain items, like asking for clarification on a selection or providing an update on a warranty request.
Rather than using e-mail, you can add comments to many of the items using Buildertrend. Comments group these conversations together with the items to which they relate, which keeps information organized and available to everyone, cutting down on misunderstandings. You and your builder can also attach photos and files.
