What BuilderMate brings to your business
Built for construction — not field service
BuilderMate is purpose-built for general contractors, custom home builders, and remodelers. Features like subcontractor portals, change orders, and job-cost P&L are core — not add-ons.
SMS that actually works
Automated two-way SMS for payment reminders, lead follow-up, and project updates is included on every plan. No third-party integrations required.
AI that handles real contractor tasks
The AI assistant drafts proposals, generates client update emails, and flags cost overruns — trained on construction workflows, not generic business tasks.
Commission tracking for sales teams
If you have sales reps or pay referral commissions, BuilderMate tracks per-project commissions automatically. Most platforms require a spreadsheet for this.
