Built for the dirt phase, not the punch list.
Buildertrend runs long residential construction projects with selections, client portals, and draw schedules. TrackOver runs the work under the house: shorter jobs, heavy machines, crews in the field, and a bill that goes out the week the work ends.
Buildertrend is a mature platform for home builders and remodelers: client selections, change orders, draw management, and long project schedules are its home turf. A builder running six-month projects with homeowner communication at the center will find it purpose-built.
