Home construction management

Home Construction Management App for Homeowners

A homeowner does not need enterprise contractor software. A homeowner needs a clear way to see what is paid, what is late, what changed and what still needs a decision.

A control center for the homeowner

BuildIQ brings the owner-side information into one place: cost, stage, document, photo, contractor and decision.

That matters because a home build is managed through handoffs. A missed document, late order or unclear decision can delay the next trade.

Designed for phone and web

On site, you need quick access from your phone. At home, you may want a bigger screen to review costs, documents and the schedule.

BuildIQ supports both workflows so the project stays organized wherever you check it.

Use BuildIQ to organize

  • budget and invoices
  • documents, permits and warranties
  • contractor notes and decisions
  • schedule and progress photos
  • punch list and follow-up work
