Every Conversation in One Place
Email threads get buried. Texts disappear. Phone calls leave no record. BuildTools gives you a unified communication hub where every message is logged, searchable, and connected to your project data.
Communication Chaos Costs You
If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone.
- 1
Important emails lost in overflowing inboxes
- 2
Text message history scattered across personal phones
- 3
No record of phone conversations when disputes arise
- 4
"I never got that message" becoming a common excuse
- 5
Hours spent searching for that one email from six months ago
