Our Process

Software

  • Hover is our design software. Most changes to the exterior of your project can be made through this software including color, material type, and quantity rather quickly for your approval.
  • Buildertrend remains our management software and we request that you accept our invitations to our customer portal to allow you to approve proposals and change orders, view schedules, check progress, communicate, and streamline the construction process from beginning to end. We can add and remove anyone from your team to any project as necessary.
  • If training is required to use Builder Trend. Please let me know and I will set up a time to train your team how to navigate this system. You can also click the help link for a tutorial.

Estimating
