Build management · for builders, clients and trades

Every build, one timeline. Nobody guessing.

Builderlane keeps each build in one place: the jobs and their dates, the plans and photos, and one timeline of what's happened. Your client follows along, your trades see their own jobs on their phone, and everyone opens a dashboard that shows what's next.

01The builder's dashboard

Your day, sorted before smoko.

Open Builderlane and the builds you're on are in front of you, with what needs you at the top.

Builder's dashboardQuestions, delays and upcoming work in the demonstration workspace.

  • Needs you

    A client's question nobody has answered, a trade's post flagged Delay or Incident, a job that's blocked.

  • Starting soon and running late

    Any job starting in the next few days, and any job past its planned finish.

  • Your builds

    A card per build: status, jobs done of the total, the next job, what's blocked and the last update. Past nine builds it becomes a table; switch back and it remembers.

02The build page

Everything for a build, in one place.

The jobs, files and activity belong to the build. Move between them without losing its context.

The jobs boardA demonstration build, from work still to do through to completed jobs.

  • The jobs board

    To do, In progress, Blocked and Done, each job with its planned start and finish. Drag a card across; moving it to Blocked asks why.

  • Files, private or shared

    Plans, Photos, Certificates and a folder for each job. Every file is private or shared with the client, and nothing is shared until someone shares it.

  • Tagged to the job

    Tag a plan to the jobs it's for. It stays in Plans; the job links to it, so the trade on that job sees it.

  • One timeline

    Your updates and photos, the client's questions, and a note whenever a job moves or a file is shared. A report button posts what's done, what's next and what's blocked, which your client can download as a PDF.

03The client's view

Your client follows the build without chasing you.

Every build has its client: a person, a couple or a company. They see their build and only what you have shared.

  • Progress

    The jobs in order with where each one is up to.

  • Updates and photos

    Your shared updates on the timeline, with the latest photos. They can comment under an update.

  • Ask a question

    It lands in your Needs you and stays there until someone on your team replies.

  • Documents

    The same folders you use, showing the files you have shared with them.

04The contractor's phone

Trades see their own jobs, on site, on their phone.

A contractor sees their jobs and nothing else: not another trade's files, not the client conversation.

  • Their jobs

    Across your builds, each with its build, planned dates and status.

  • What to do

    The address and dates, the scope, the files for that job and your notes, in that order on a phone.

  • Photos from site

    Straight into the job's folder from the camera, private until you share them.

  • Delay and Incident

    A post flagged Delay or Incident lands in your Needs you. Moving the job to Blocked stays your call.

  • The QR code on the site sign

    Scan it and the build opens on their jobs. The code grants nothing by itself: they still sign in and see only their own work.

05Who it's for

Builders who build homes.

Small and mid-size builders, their clients and their trades. Not high-rises, not 500-house estates.

  • Builders

    Run every build from one place and see what needs you first.

  • Clients

    Follow their build, see the photos and ask a question.

  • Trades

    Get the job, the plans and the notes, and post from site.
