Construction Proposal and Contract Software for Custom Builders and Remodelers
The handoff from sales to production is where details get lost. BuildTools helps you create proposals, manage scope, route approvals, and move signed work into active project execution.
What it does
- Builds proposals with scope, pricing, and terms for the client.
- Manages scope detail so the contract reflects what was sold.
- Routes proposals and contracts for approval and signature.
- Tracks proposal status from sent to signed.
- Converts a signed proposal into an active project.
- Keeps the signed scope connected to budget and schedule.
Why builders need it
A builder wins the job, then the team rebuilds it from scratch: the scope gets retyped into a budget, the allowances get re-entered, the client promises live in the salesperson’s memory. Every retype is a chance to drop a detail the client was told would be included.
When the proposal and the project are separate systems, the contract becomes a document nobody opens again. Builders need the signed scope to carry forward, so production starts from what was actually promised, not a fresh interpretation of it.
How BuildTools handles it differently
- A signed proposal converts into an active project, carrying scope into budget and schedule setup.
- Proposal scope stays connected to the job, so production works from what the client signed.
- Approvals and e-signatures route through the same system, with a clean record of who signed what.
- AI can help draft proposal scope and client-facing language from project and estimate context.
- Selections and allowances from the proposal carry into the client portal and selection workflow.
Common workflows
- An estimator builds a proposal with scope, allowances, and pricing for a custom home.
- A proposal is sent to the client and tracked from sent to signed.
- A signed contract converts into an active project with budget and schedule ready to build out.
- Allowances from the proposal flow into the selections workflow.
- A change to scope after signing routes through approvals as a change order.

Frequently asked questions
What does proposal and contract software do for builders?
It helps you build proposals with scope and pricing, route them for signature, and convert signed work into an active project without retyping the deal.
Does a signed proposal become a project?
Yes. A signed proposal converts into an active project, carrying scope and allowances into budget, schedule, and selection setup.
How does this prevent details from getting lost at handoff?
Because the proposal and the project share one system, the signed scope carries forward, so production builds from what the client was actually promised.
Can clients sign proposals electronically?
Yes. Proposals and contracts route through approvals and e-signatures, with a record of who signed and when.
What happens when scope changes after signing?
A change to scope after the contract is signed routes through the approval workflow as a change order, so the record stays clean.
