Colour schedules in email. Touch-up lists over text. Extras you meant to write down after cleanup.
You didn’t start a painting company to chase paperwork. BuildBox puts it all in one place.
Your money, your jobs, and your people — connected, so a decision made in one place shows up everywhere it matters.
Labour is most of a painting job — and a few extra coats, unpriced repairs, or return trips can quietly erase the margin. BuildBox tracks your revenue, profit, and overhead against real targets as the work happens, so you know where the job stands before the final walkthrough.
See it in a demoOne screen that shows the financial health of your business. Revenue, profit, and targets rolled up into a single view — no digging through spreadsheets, no chasing your bookkeeper.
Set revenue and profit targets at any time of year. BuildBox tracks your actuals against them, so you know if you’re ahead, behind, or on pace — instead of finding out at tax time.
See revenue and profit in real time, tracked against your targets. Know where the business stands each month — not after year end.
Budget your fixed costs — trucks, insurance, office, salaries — and see how much your projects need to generate to cover them. Project profit means nothing if overhead eats it first.
A full financial model with P&L forecasting, so you know where the business is headed — not just where the projects are.
New builds, repaints, GC contracts, direct clients — every job comes with different paperwork expectations. BuildBox gives you your own system: the same scope, documentation, and paper trail on every job, from a full commercial repaint to a one-day touch-up.
See it in a demoA live overview of every active project in one place. Check on all your jobs at a glance without opening each one individually.
Upload project drawings so your field team always builds from the most recent set. No more emailing PDFs back and forth or working off outdated sheets.
Create, send, and track RFIs in a structured, professional format — with a fully exportable log that keeps a paper trail on every question sent to the project team.
Build and track Change Orders so you never miss an extra. Every detail logged and exportable — helping you get paid for all the additional work you’re asked to do on site.
Issue and track POs directly in BuildBox. Keep commitments organized with a record of what you’ve ordered, from who, and at what cost.
Manage your submittal register and track submission and approval status — with an exportable log for GC coordination and your own records.
Photo-first deficiency tracking and close-out. Take a picture — Alfred names it, describes it, and logs it for trade completion and GC approval.
Service work or maintenance that doesn’t need drawings or specs? Quick Jobs creates a job that’s tracked and accounted for just like your larger projects.
Central storage for contracts, specs, correspondence, photos — everything tied to a job. No more hunting through email or shared drives.
Crews spread across three sites, colour changes landing by text, a foreman asking which sheen goes in the corridor. BuildBox gives your crews and office a shared system, so the answer isn’t always a phone call to you.
See it in a demoCreate, track, and assign tasks per project — and see everything you own across all projects in My Tasks. Everyone knows what they’re responsible for and when it’s due.
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.
Your built-in AI assistant. Ask about your projects, draft RFIs, query the Code. Alfred works with your account’s data — the more you use BuildBox, the more useful he becomes.
Real-time alerts when tasks are updated, documents are uploaded, or items need attention — keeping everyone informed without the email bombing.
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.
No long-term contracts. Cancel any time. Pricing in CAD.
