The construction management app that protects your money, documents your work, and keeps every project on track.
Other apps were built by software companies who've never swung a hammer. BuildersBFF was born on the jobsite — from the real problems you deal with every day.
No 6-month onboarding. No $500/month subscriptions. No features you'll never use. Just the tools that actually matter when you're running residential projects.
BuildersBFF blocks payments until the waiver is signed — on screen, on site, no paper.
Hand them the iPad. They sign it right there. Timestamped, stored, done.
Your daily log shows who was on site, crew count, and what work was done. Every day.
Tap the number right from the inspection table. Field days, status, notes — all at a glance.
12 project tools that cover a residential build from permit to punch list to warranty.
Phase-based task management with dependencies, critical path calculation, and smart cascading date shifts that respect float.
Visual timeline with critical path highlighting, overdue detection, and completion tracking. See the whole project at a glance.
Track every dollar. Per-sub, per-phase cost tracking with paid/unpaid status, receipt photos, and payment method logging.
All 4 standard waiver forms built in. Hand the device to the sub, they sign on screen. Auto-marks as received. No paper, no chasing.
Document scope changes with line items tied to phases and subs. Client signs on screen. Budget auto-updates with revised contract total.
Weather, work performed, subs on site with crew counts, deliveries, issues, visitors, safety notes, and photos. Your legal diary.
Photo timeline tagged by phase and date. Document the build from dirt to done. Filter by phase, click to view full size.
Room-by-room deficiency tracking. Snap a photo, assign to a sub, tap to mark complete. Progress bar shows how close you are to keys.
Per-project inspection tracking with tap-to-call, field day availability, required/not-required toggle, drag reorder, and pass/fail/follow-up status.
Track every permit from application to issuance. Upload permit docs, copy permits across projects in the same jurisdiction.
GL, Workers Comp, Auto — per sub. Expiration alerts at 90 and 30 days. Expired insurance blocks payments automatically.
Every warranty from every sub, manufacturer, and supplier. Auto-expiration alerts. Claim phone numbers. Hand it to the homeowner at closing.
Most apps don't touch lien waivers. The ones that do charge $600/month. BuildersBFF has all 4 standard forms built in with on-screen signing — included at every tier.
Tap the signature button on any expense with a sub assigned.
Full waiver form opens with your company letterhead, pre-filled with all details.
Hand it to the sub. They review, pick the waiver type, sign with their finger.
Done. Signature captured. Waiver marked received. Payment unblocked.
Every screen in the app has an AI assistant that knows every feature, every workflow, and every shortcut. Tap the ? button and just ask.
The assistant checks the lien waiver status, insurance expiration, and tells you exactly what's blocking the payment and how to fix it.
Step-by-step walkthrough, specific to the screen you're on. No digging through help docs or watching tutorial videos.
Instant, plain-English answers about critical path, scheduling, task dependencies — anything you see in the app.
The assistant explains the difference between all four waiver types and recommends which one fits your situation.
No other construction app has this.
Real AI that knows every feature, every workflow, and answers in plain English — not a FAQ page, not a chatbot reading scripts. It's like having a support team built into the app 24/7.
Every plan includes every feature. Pick the one that fits how many projects you run.
The features that matter, at a fraction of the cost.
