BuilderOne — construction software
From permit to final draw, on one platform
Estimating, job costing, purchase orders, permitting, scheduling, selections, and draws — all connected. Built by a homebuilder who got tired of running a company out of six spreadsheets.
Founding group forming — 20 builders
Why it exists
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.
What's inside
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
Selections & draws
Turn your finishes into the kind of selection package a national builder hands out, and keep the draw schedule tied to the work that's actually complete.
- ✓Designer-grade selection sheets buyers can sign
- ✓Allowances that reconcile against real costs
- ✓Draws that track completion, not the calendar
