- Lead
- Appointment
- Design
- Selections
- Estimate
- Proposal
- Contract
- Buying
- Build
- Inspections
- Punch list
- Closeout
- Warranty
Each step adds to the same record. Whoever schedules the build sees what the rep promised, and whoever orders the tile sees what the client picked and when the crew needs it. The homeowner sees the selections they approved, the change orders they signed and the warranty on every product they bought.
The numbers you watch, moved from the first call.
- Speed to lead
- Every call, text, form and booking lands in one inbox with the lead source attached, and online booking fills the calendar while you are on a roof.
- Appointments set and kept
- Live availability, confirmations and a pre-visit email with your team’s faces, so homeowners show up ready.
- Visit to proposal
- Draw the job on site, drop your catalog items where they go, and the estimate fills in. The proposal is ready before you leave the driveway.
- Close rate
- Present on the iPad, walk the homeowner through the plan and the selections, and get the contract signed at the table.
- Estimate accuracy
- Every quantity names the drawing, scan or quote it came from, and the proposal check stops the ones that do not.
- Signed to built
- The signed job carries its budget, selections and files into ordering, the schedule and the crew’s field app, so the build starts from exactly what was signed.

A drafting board that fills in the estimate.
Open a RENDR or RoomPlan scan, or trace over a PDF. Pick an item from your own catalog and click it onto the plan: a fixture where it sits, a run along the wall, an area by its outline. Each one measures itself in the unit you price it by and goes to the estimate at your price, with the drawing named as its source.
Change the plan and the numbers change with it. What the homeowner sees on the drawing is exactly what they are buying.
Waterproofing and crawl space companies: see it on a crawl spaceThe jobsite, on the iPad.
The crew builds from the current drawings, the supervisor checks the work before it gets covered, and the day gets logged by talking, from a field app that keeps working when the signal drops.
Running the jobsite, in detail- Drawings that are always current
- Plan sets split into numbered sheets, with each new revision replacing the last. Mark up, compare and measure on the sheet, and drop pins that become punch items.
- Checks before the work is covered
- Pre-drywall, before tile and final walkthrough checklists with photos and a signature. A failed item goes to the sub who owns it, with a due date.
- A daily log by talking
- Say what happened and add photos. The log is drafted from what was said and shown, and nothing saves until the person checks it.
- A field app with no signal
- Today’s jobs, the clock, the drawings and the selections on the phone. What is done offline goes out once the signal is back.

What we are working on.
The features above are built and running today. These are next, with where each one really stands. When one goes live it moves onto the features page.
Being switched on
Built and tested. Turning on for companies now.
QuickBooks Online
Invoices and payments mirrored to QuickBooks Online the way they are to Xero, for companies that keep their books there.
Google Calendar and Outlook, both ways
Bookings go onto each person’s own calendar, their busy times come back so nobody books over them, and video visits get a Meet or Teams link.
PayPal
Clients pay an invoice with PayPal next to card. A company connects by signing in to PayPal, and the money goes straight to its own account.
WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram
WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram messages in the same inbox as texts and email, and Facebook and Instagram lead ads straight into the pipeline. Connected by signing in.
Google Drive copy
Every file on a job copied to a project folder in the company’s own Google Drive as it is added.
Being built
Under way.
Sign in with Google or Microsoft
Sign in to BuilderVP with the Google or Microsoft account your team already uses.
Planned
Decided on, not started.
Social posting
Write a post once in the Marketing tab and put it on the company’s social accounts.
Your numbers and your margins stay yours.
Every company runs in its own workspace, walled off in the database itself. Your reps quote your prices without seeing your costs, and nothing leaves your company unless an owner sends it.
Each role sees its part
Reps see prices, never costs. Designers see allowances, architects the contract price, crews the specs and selections.
Sharing is deliberate
Sharing a client or a job with another company is a grant you make, logged, and taken back whenever you want.
Every change is kept
Who changed what and when, on every record, in the history.
Signed means signed
Approved proposals and change orders are frozen with their signature. An edit makes a new version.
