Built by a GC who still runs jobs
Enter the job once. Go home for dinner.
Construction management software for general contractors. The client's answers become your estimate. Your estimate drives the schedule. The schedule feeds the field, the change orders, and the client update. You type it once.
Zero re-entry. The client fills it out once; you never transcribe it.
No credit card. No setup call. No entering the same job twice.
Every other system makes you re-type the job at each handoff — intake to estimate, estimate to schedule, schedule to the field, field to the client. TruBuildGC doesn't have those handoffs. There's one job record, and everything reads from it.
One job, one entry
From first phone call to final client update, without retyping the job
Questionnaire to estimate to schedule. Nothing typed twice.
Send the questionnaire before you ever sit down with them. Lot status, square footage, beds, baths, budget range, move-in deadline — their answers land in the lead. You build the estimate on a page that already knows the job, off your cost catalog and scope library. Budget lines link to schedule tasks, so the estimate you sold is the schedule you build.
The proposal comes off those same numbers.
Overhead, margin, and contingency are already set the way you run your company. The client’s estimate PDF generates from the live budget — not a second spreadsheet you rebuilt to make it look nice.
You win it. Nothing gets retyped.
The lead becomes a live project in one click. Budget, schedule, bids, plans, contracts — all of it carries over in place, because nothing moves. The record type changes; the data sits still.
The job runs off that same record.
Field updates, change orders, draws, and the monthly client report all read from it. Move framing two weeks and the cash forecast moves with it. You are never the thing keeping two systems in sync.
Built for your trade
Different jobs. Same refusal to do the work twice.
Custom Home Builders
The questionnaire, the estimate, the selections, and the client’s monthly update are one record. Your homeowner stops calling to ask where things stand.
Explore Features →Remodelers
Change orders that hit the budget the moment they’re approved — not whenever someone remembers to go update the spreadsheet.
Explore Features →Commercial GCs
Subs, tasks, and dates across multiple jobs, with the critical path showing which slip actually costs you and which one doesn’t.
Explore Features →Specialty Contractors
Crews get their week on their phone with no login. Progress comes back from the field the same way.
Explore Features →The payoff
Strong structure. Zero fluff.
Every feature exists because a real GC needed it on a real job. None of them ask you to enter something the system already knows.
Why it works
- • Enter data once — it flows everywhere automatically.
- • Questionnaire to estimate to schedule — no re-entry.
- • Built for the field, not just the office.
You know what the job really owes you
Committed, earned, billed, paid — and the gap between work you’ve done and work you’ve invoiced, sitting on the project page. That number only exists because the schedule and the money live in the same record.
The schedule and the budget can’t disagree
Tasks link to budget lines. Dates move, the cash forecast moves. Nobody reconciles anything on a Sunday night.
Change orders land in the budget
Client approves it, it posts to the budget lines, and it shows up on the next client report. One approval, not three places to go update.
The field doesn’t need a login
Daily logs, crew schedules, sub confirmations, and change-order responses all run off a link. Your framer isn’t going to create an account. He doesn’t have to.
Clients stop calling for updates
Photos, milestones, and financials the system already has, assembled into a report and sent. You’re not rebuilding a status email from scratch every month.
AI does the typing, not the thinking
Talk a task into your phone and it files itself with the project, assignee, and due date. The schedule tool flags missing inspections and bad sequencing. You still make every call.
The story
Built in the dirt
My name is Mike. I'm a general contractor in Southeast Idaho. I run jobs and I raise a family, and both of those things want the same hours.
I used every construction app I could find. Every one of them was a filing cabinet and a typewriter that somebody had copied onto a computer. Type the job here. Type it again over there. Type it a third time for the client.
So I built the one I wanted.
“I don't mind hard work. What I can't stand is doing work I've already done.”
— Mike, Founder & GC
I still run my own jobs on this every day.
Not a demo account. Not a sandbox. My actual jobs, my actual money, my actual subs. When something doesn't work, I find out on a Tuesday morning like you would — and then I fix it.
Built by a GC. Used by a GC. Every single day.
