One platform

Everything a builder runs the day around.

Six tools that already work the way you do — wired together so you stop re-typing the same numbers into the same spreadsheets.

AI that drafts your paperwork
Generate change orders, RFIs, scopes of work and client emails from a one-line prompt. Reviewed and approved by you, not autopublished — you're still in charge.
Draft a change order for upgraded windows
Email the client about Friday's inspection
Generate scope of work — framing package

Custom builders tell us BuildTools collapses three apps and a stack of spreadsheets into one — closing change orders the same day the client asks, with PMs home by six. It's the kind of software crews don't fight you on.
