Buildern allows us to be more transparent with our clients and their estimates by including overheads, insurances, and builder costs as a default, rather than dispersing these genuine business costs somewhere randomly within an estimate.

FAQ
What is general contractor software, and why is it needed?
As a proven, effective tool that helps streamline and automate administrative and operational processes, general contractor software is a single platform to coordinate all activities related to the construction job.
All the data related to the construction project is uploaded and kept in one place, from budgeting and cost estimates to job scheduling and communication with vendors. Whenever any data changes in one module (say, change order), it automatically updates in all other related modules (like budget) without manual input. This helps to prevent erroneous data entry and ensures all team members with corresponding access see the same up-to-date information.
