TrackOver and Buildertrend, honestly

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.

What Buildertrend does well

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.

Pick Buildertrend if…
You are a GC or remodeler running long projects with client selections and draws
Homeowner-facing portals and change-order workflows are central to your business
Your projects are measured in months, not days
Pick TrackOver if…
Your jobs are days or weeks: dig, install, backfill, invoice
Machines, markouts, and site records matter more than selections and allowances
Your crew needs a dead-simple field app, not a project portal
You want time, photos, equipment, and billing without project-management overhead
