BuildTools - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

> BuildTools is an online residential construction management software that helps stakeholders involved in the construction or remodeling of a home communicate with each other and manage construction activities.

> Say goodbye to pen and paper schedules or spreadsheets that are a pain to update. BuildTools enables you to create schedules from scratch or use a past project as a template. Quickly make adjustments and make updated to the published schedule. Choose who gets notified of scheduling changes. One change automatically adjusts dependencies so you don't have to worry about missed milestones or deadlines.

> BuildTools stores and manages all documents associated with the construction project and notifies the entire team of any changes made, as well as creates an archive of all documents that have been updated. The centralized inbox makes it easy to search for messages across projects or resources.

> With the bid management module you can distribute specs to multiple subcontractors, send reminders of bid due dates, and track project documents downloaded. We know getting buy-in from subcontractors is difficult when it comes to new technology, so your subcontractors don't even need to log in to the tool to submit their bid. They can respond by email and the details are captured in BuildTools.

> The budgeting module enables you to use your own cost codes, issue purchase orders, and track change orders and their impact on the budget. Get real-time visibility into your finances and easily manage your budget so you don't lose money on costly mistakes or over-runs.

> BuildTools fully integrates with QuickBooks Online and Desktop as well as Xero accounting software. All project and cost codes, invoices, purchase orders, subcontractor data, and vendor contact information is automatically imported and synced between your accounting tool and BuildTools.
