"I was tracking a $400K residential build with spreadsheets, text messages, and a notebook in my truck. I needed one app that does everything — scheduling, bids, expenses, lien waivers, inspections — without the complexity of enterprise software."
— The problem BuildersBFF was built to solve
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
BuildersBFF covers the full lifecycle of a residential build — from pre-construction planning through closeout and warranty. Every feature connects to the others so your data works together instead of living in silos.
📋

Activities & Scheduling

Build your full project schedule with divisions, durations, predecessors, lead times, and critical path calculation. Gantt chart included. Milestone support for key checkpoints.

💰

Bids & Procurement

Collect multiple bids per activity, compare side by side, award with one click. Awarding auto-assigns the sub, updates the cost, and notifies the winner.

📊

Financial Tracking

Track income, expenses, and net cash position in real time. Planning vs. Reality views show projected margin before you start and actual profit as you build.

✍️

Lien Waivers & Payments

Generate and sign lien waivers on-screen in the field. Insurance enforcement blocks payment to subs with expired coverage. Four waiver types supported.

👷

Subcontractor Management

Master contact list with insurance tracking, license info, expiration alerts. Assign subs to activities, track their bids, and manage payments — all connected.

📝

Change Orders

Document scope changes with line items, get client signatures on-screen, and automatically update the revised contract total. Full audit trail.

🔍

Inspections & Permits

Quick-dial table for inspectors with field day tracking. Link inspections to activities. Track permits with dates, numbers, costs, and document uploads.

📸

Daily Logs & Photos

Record weather, work performed, subs on site with crew counts, deliveries, issues, and photos. One entry per day — your legal record of what happened.

🏗️

Blueprints & Redlines

Upload plan PDFs, navigate pages, and draw redline annotations directly on the plans. Save revision cards with notes. Download annotated PDFs.

Punch List

Final walkthrough made easy. Free-text locations, photo documentation, sub assignment, priority sorting. Click column headers to organize your list.

🤖

AI Assistant

Built-in AI that knows every feature of the app. Ask questions, get help, or use voice commands to add subs, log expenses, and update activities hands-free.

☁️

Common Questions

Do both Cloud tiers have the same features?

Yes — identical features. The only difference is how many active projects you can run at once. Solo Builder allows up to 5, Growing Builder up to 15.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Anytime. Move between tiers month to month — no penalty. Your data and projects stay exactly as they are.

What counts as an "active" project?

Any project that isn't marked Complete or Archived. Once you close out a build, it doesn't count against your limit — and you can still view all the data anytime.

When will the Desktop version be available?

After the beta period ends. Beta testers will be the first to know when it launches. Join the beta now and you'll have first access.

What happens if I cancel Cloud?

Export all your data before your billing period ends. After that you can't log in, but your data is never deleted. Resubscribe anytime and pick up where you left off.

Will the Desktop version sync across machines?

No. Each Desktop install is independent. If you need your data to stay in sync across devices, Cloud is the right choice.

Is my data safe?

Cloud: backed up automatically, accessible from any device. Desktop: stored on your machine, you're in full control. Both include a complete backup and restore tool.

How do you compare to Buildertrend?

Buildertrend starts at $399/month and goes up from there — plus onboarding fees. BuildersBFF starts at $49/month with every feature included, no onboarding, no hidden costs. Same core capabilities for residential builders at a fraction of the price.
