Buildertrend Expands AI for Construction Management

Buildertrend, the leading AI construction management software for established home builders, remodelers, commercial and specialty contractors, today announced a wave of new AI and platform capabilities for builders running larger, more complex and diversified businesses. These builders face a distinct set of challenges: more stakeholders reviewing and approving work, stricter billing and documentation requirements, and the need to keep cost tracking consistent between operations and accounting.

Today's announcement highlights key innovations that enable contractors to handle more demanding technical work and run their businesses more profitably as they grow. New capabilities include:

- AI and field productivity: AI Submittals generates and manages the submittal log and moves reviews and approvals through a structured workflow, keeping architects, owners, subcontractors, and the field aligned on commercial and high-end residential projects. AI Bill Capture, part of Buildertrend's construction accounts payable automation, pulls data from bills and receipts to reduce manual data entry. AI Client Updates drafts clear, timely client communications automatically. AI Plans organizes plan sets instantly. - Document control and approvals: Plans and Specifications uses automated page naming and revision tracking to address two of the most common causes of job site rework: outdated drawings and missed requirements. Bluebeam Integration gives contractors faster submittal and RFI turnaround, less admin time chasing files and versions, and lower rework risk. - Financial controls: Sage Intacct Integration connects Buildertrend directly to Sage Intacct with two-way sync of bills and invoices. Job costs stay consistent between the field and the finance team. AIA-Style Progress Invoicing supports bank-funded projects with a populated Schedule of Values, retainage, cover sheets, and supporting documentation to adhere to AIA standards and reduce risk. - A new mobile app empowers teams to handle project management, communication, time tracking, documentation, estimates, proposals, and job costing directly from the field.

Over 20,000 builders and over half of home builds in the U.S. run on Buildertrend today. Many of these builders have already reached significant scale as they expand into more project types such as tenant improvements, medical and dental, retail, and hospitality, or luxury home builds and remodels.
