App: BuilderTREND
Benefits: BuilderTREND offers a full construction management system through the phone. Features include time tracking, systematized and simplified daily logs, subcontractor management,
project management features (including Gantt chart management), and document management.
One of the app’s biggest benefits is that construction managers can mark up specs and plans and include that document in communication to a subcontractor. Need a plumber to fix a newly installed toilet? Simply circle where they need to go on the construction plan, write down a note, add a due date, and send it off.
Change order management is one of the biggest pain points facing construction contractors, and BuilderTrend helps to alleviate this by allowing homeowners to sign off on change orders from their phone. No more bickering about who said what, when, and for how much.
Users can even do away with BuilderTREND’s branding and replace it with your construction company’s own logo and branding. That’s a pretty cool feature considering that BuilderTREND’s app is meant both for internal work and customer interaction — to homeowners, it looks like your construction firm has its own app made just for them.
Price: Starts at $99 a month.
Systems: iOS, Android
