Buildern
Glendale, California, USA
What it is
Buildern is a construction management platform that brings project workflows, budgets, schedules and communication together for residential and commercial construction teams. Project features include schedules, task tracking, document control, daily logs, RFIs, submittals, change orders and client selections. Teams can create estimates with cost catalogs, prebuilt assemblies and unit-based pricing, then turn them into branded proposals. Financial tools cover budgets, cost codes, bills, purchase orders, client invoices and reporting. Buildern connects accounting data with QuickBooks and Xero, and its AI can extract bill details from uploaded or emailed invoices and match them to purchase orders. Built-in messaging and separate portals support clients, subcontractors and vendors. Those external users are free but have limited portal functionality. The platform is available on web, Android and iOS, as well as tablets. Starter costs $225 a month billed annually for two seats; Professional costs $360 a month billed annually for four seats. A seven-day trial is listed, and there is no free plan.
