What is Buildertrend?
Short answerBuildertrend is construction project management software for builders, remodelers and trade contractors, according to its site. [1] It combines scheduling, financials and client communication, and its pricing page lists a starting price of 499 dollars per month for the whole platform. [2]
The explanation
Buildertrend's homepage describes a platform that connects scheduling, financials and client communication, and lists user types such as home builder, remodeler, commercial builder and trade contractor. [1] The product overview groups features into sales, projects, customers and financials. [3]
Its pricing page says pricing starts at 499 dollars per month and that it is built for builders who run five or more projects a year. [2] The same page says every feature is included and that the price covers all of a team's users. [2] Read the page yourself for current terms.
That makes it a project tool, not a lightweight scheduler. A crew that does one-visit service calls will find much of it unused. A remodeler with long jobs, change orders and homeowner updates is the audience it describes. Match the tool to the shape of your work before you request a demo.
What to watch for
- Buying a project platform for appointment-style work.
- Relying on this summary instead of the current pricing page.
How Apex does it
In progress
Part of this is built. The rest is not. Status as of 2026-10-07; the badge shows the least-built feature involved.
Apex works toward multi-day jobs, change orders and progress billing. Multi-day jobs are built as a screen, the other two are partly built, and large project management is not Apex's focus.
