Project management
Builtly organizes every residential project by phases, each with its own budget, documentation, sub assignments, and draw requirements. Nothing falls through between phases.
The problem
Most builders run projects from a mix of spreadsheets, group texts, and memory. That works for one job. It breaks down at two. By three or four active jobs, something important is always slipping.
Generic project tools track tasks but don't understand phases, draw schedules, or sub coordination. You end up maintaining a separate system for everything that actually matters in construction.
Phase transitions go unmanaged
Foundation is done. Framing crew is ready. But no one officially closed foundation — so the phase documentation, photos, and waiver requests never triggered. The draw is weeks behind.
Budget vs. actual is always guesswork
Change orders hit the budget but didn't make it into the spreadsheet yet. By the time you reconcile, you're already into the next phase.
Status lives in everyone's head
The super knows. The PM knows. But the owner doesn't, the bookkeeper doesn't, and neither does the client. Every status update is a separate conversation.
What Builtly tracks
Every core function ties back to the phase it belongs to. Progress, budget, photos, subs, draws, organized the way residential construction actually works.
Phase tracking
Define your phase structure once. Every project follows it, with completion status, documentation requirements, and draw triggers attached to each phase.
Budget vs. actual
Phase budgets set upfront. Change orders update the running total when approved. See where you stand before the draw goes out.
Field photo management
Field crew uploads photos directly to the phase they're working on. They're organized by phase, tagged, and available for your draw package without hunting.
Punch list and closeout
Final phase documentation, including punch list items, warranty records, and closeout checklist, tracked inside the project so nothing gets lost at the finish line.
Specific outcomes
Draw preparation starts when phases close.
When a phase completes, send waiver requests and start the draw documentation review. No separate reminder to kick off the process.
Budget surprises happen before submission, not after.
Every change order posts to the project budget in real time. Before you submit a draw, you can see exactly how the approved changes affected your variance.
The whole team is on the same status.
Owner, PM, super, bookkeeper, and client portal, all drawing from the same source. No more status calls to get everyone aligned before a lender meeting.
Field documentation is organized by phase.
Photos uploaded from the field are categorized by the phase they belong to. When you need the framing photos for the draw, they are in the framing folder.
