From a plain-English job to a crew that knows exactly what to do
It's designed to work the way you already run jobs in your head — just written down, assigned out, and kept current. Here's the whole loop.
BuildFlow is in early access. The walkthrough and examples below show the product we're building with our first contractors.
Step 01: Set up the job in minutes
Tell the app what you're building — address, homeowner, scope, dates, materials. Type it or talk it through. It asks the questions a good PM would and fills in the rest.
Example
"Full master bath gut at 2210 Cedar Ridge. Chens, start July 7, done by Aug 15. Carrara-look porcelain, Kohler double vanity, soaking tub."
Step 02: The app drafts the plan
It lays out the phases in order, breaks each into tasks with durations and materials, and flags the critical path. You review it, change anything, and approve — nothing goes live until you say so.
Example
7 phases · 34 tasks · Demo → Rough-In → Waterproofing → Tile → Plumbing → Vanity & Tub → Final Finish.
Step 03: Every task lands on the right person
Tasks are assigned by skill level so the Level 5 work goes to your best hand and the Level 1 work doesn't. Each crew member opens the app to their own list — with materials and step-by-step instructions.
Example
Marcus (L5): set shower pan & waterproof. Josh (L1): sand & prime. Everyone sees only what's theirs.
Step 04: Problems come to you with the details
Wrong cabinet color shows up. Inspection gets scheduled. Homeowner wants an extra outlet. Your crew flags it from the field, the app pulls together the schedule and cost details, and it reaches your phone as an approve/reject — not a phone call.
Example
"Uppers came in Dove White, not Antique White. Est. 3–5 day delay. Crew moved to drywall. Approve exchange?"
Step 05: You watch the whole thing move
One dashboard: every job, every phase, every crew. Progress updates as tasks close. You spend your day growing the business instead of babysitting sites.
Example
3 active jobs · 12 of 15 crew working · 2 change requests waiting on you.
The whole operation on one screen
Dashboard, projects, crew, and change requests. Set up jobs, assign work, and approve decisions from anywhere.
Just today's work, on your phone
Your tasks, your materials, your instructions. Snap a photo, flag a problem, mark it done. Nothing else to figure out.
