Stop struggling with a bunch of disconnected systems. BuildBox keeps it all in one place.

The Platform

Smart tools built around
how trades actually work.

Align your site and office without everything flowing through you.

If every update, every question, every follow-up runs through your phone, then you’re the bottleneck. BuildBox gives your site and office teams a shared system so the information flows seamlessly from estimating to execution.

Everyone knows who owns what
BuildBox Task Management screen

Task Management

Create, assign, and track tasks on every project. Everyone sees what they own in My Tasks, and when it’s due.

Filed from site in minutes
BuildBox Daily Logs screen

Daily Logs

Daily site reports that replace paper logs and end-of-day text threads. Site activity, crew info, and progress captured on every project, every day.

Ask it like you’d ask your PM

Alfred AI

Your built-in AI assistant. Ask about your projects, draft RFIs, query the Code. The more you use BuildBox, the more useful Alfred becomes.

No more email bombing
BuildBox Activity Tracking screen

Activity Tracking

Real-time alerts when tasks are updated, documents are uploaded, or items need attention, keeping everyone informed.

Know what work is coming
BuildBox Sales Pipeline screen

Sales Pipeline

Track every opportunity from first lead to estimate to signed project, so you always know what’s coming in next.

Know your numbers and take control of your financials.

Your whole business on one screen

Monthly, not at year end
BuildBox Revenue & Profit Tracking screen

Revenue & Profit Tracking

See revenue and profit in real time, tracked against your targets. Know where the business stands each month, not after year end.

Know if the job actually pays
BuildBox Project Budgets screen

Project Budgets

Create a budget for every project, so you know from day one whether a job is actually making you money.

Cover your fixed costs first

Overhead Budgeting

Budget your fixed costs: trucks, insurance, office, salaries, and see how much your projects need to generate to cover them.

Run every project with the same system and standard.

Why does every project start from scratch? BuildBox gives you your own system: the same structure, the same document format, and the same system to manage every project from start to finish.

Professional, every time
BuildBox Quotations screen

Quotations

Build clean, professional quotes from your own rates and send them from the same system you’ll run the job in.

Build and track change orders so you never miss an extra. Every detail logged and exportable, so you get paid for the additional work.

A paper trail on every question

Always building off the current set

Purchase Orders

Issue and track POs directly in BuildBox, with a record of what you’ve ordered, from who, and at what cost.

Snap it, name it, assign it

Meet Alfred

The first hire that costs $0/hour and never calls in sick.

Alfred is BuildBox’s built-in AI assistant, and he already knows your business, because he works with the data that lives in your account. Every project you run, every document you upload, every task you log makes him sharper.

  • Ask anything about your projects: overdue items, budget status, what’s on your to-do list.
  • Draft documents in seconds instead of starting from scratch at 9pm.
  • Alfred remembers key information on your business and gets smarter over time.
  • Feature integration so your whole business runs smarter and faster.

BuildBox is built specifically for trade contractors: electricians, framers, plumbers, drywall, HVAC, concrete, and more. Most construction software is designed for general contractors and adapted down for the trades. We started from scratch with the trades in mind. The project management module, documentation workflows, and financial tracking are all structured around how subtrades actually manage their work.
Yes, if a GC requires you to use their platform for specific submissions, that won’t change. But BuildBox gives you your own system to run your business regardless of what happens above you. You manage your projects, your team, and your financials the same way on every job. You’re no longer starting from scratch on every new GC relationship.
Most well-known construction platforms are built for large commercial GCs, priced like it at $20,000–$100,000+ per year, or for residential home builders. Neither was designed for a trade contractor running 3–15 projects at a time who needs their own financial visibility, not just access to the GC’s portal. BuildBox is purpose-built for the trades: simpler, more affordable, and connected to your company financials from day one.
Most contractors have their first project live within one business day. Your onboarding call with your personal support rep is 20 minutes. You’ll leave with a real project created, your drawings uploaded, your financial targets set, and at least one team member invited. There’s no lengthy implementation or IT setup required.
Yes. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. BuildBox is month-to-month. If it’s not working for you, you can cancel at any time. We’d rather earn your subscription every month than lock you in.

Your next job could be the first one that runs itself.
