FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about BuildTools

What makes BuildTools different from other construction management software?

BuildTools is the only construction management platform with AI that processes invoices automatically (saving 2+ hours per invoice), generates project specifications from voice input (5 minutes instead of 5 hours), and creates professional reports from jobsite walkthroughs. We focus on eliminating administrative work so builders can focus on building.

How does the AI invoice processing work?

Simply email or forward invoices to your project inbox. Our AI uses GPT-4 Vision to automatically extract all data—vendor information, line items, amounts, dates, and PO numbers. It then matches invoices to existing purchase orders and vendors, flagging any discrepancies for your review. No manual data entry required.

What is the Voice-to-Spec Generator?

The Voice-to-Spec Generator lets you create complete project specifications by answering questions via voice instead of typing. You can reference previous projects (e.g., "Like the Smith house, but with hardwood floors instead of tile") and the AI automatically cascades related changes throughout the spec. What used to take 5 hours now takes 5 minutes.

Is BuildTools suitable for my size of business?

BuildTools is designed for custom home builders, residential remodelers, and general contractors managing 1-50+ projects. It's ideal for teams of 2-100+ members. We offer three plans: a free 14-day trial, Professional at $499/month (10 projects), and Enterprise at $699/month (unlimited projects with Takeoff & Annotation).

How does BuildTools compare to Buildertrend or CoConstruct?

BuildTools differentiates itself with advanced AI automation that competitors lack—including AI invoice processing, voice-to-spec generation, and walk & talk reports that significantly reduce administrative work. We also offer a more modern, mobile-first PWA interface designed for field use with offline capabilities.

Does BuildTools work offline?

Yes! BuildTools is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that can be installed on any device and works offline. You can take photos, add voice captions, and access cached project data without internet. Everything syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

What are Walk & Talk Reports?

Walk & Talk Reports let you walk the jobsite narrating observations while taking photos. BuildTools AI transforms your voice + photos into professional reports—weekly walkthroughs, punch lists with priorities and locations, mechanical reviews—in seconds instead of hours of typing.

Can I try BuildTools before purchasing?

Absolutely! We offer a free 14-day trial with no credit card required. You can test all features including AI capabilities. Start your trial today and see how much time you can save.
