Home builder software for estimates, schedules and job costs

Home Builder Software helps residential builders manage estimates, construction schedules, buyer selections, purchase orders and job costs in one project record. Office and field teams follow the same home from the first inquiry through handover and service.

One system your office and your crews both work in

One application covers sales, planning, field work, finance and service. All of them read and write the same project file, whether it is opened on an office monitor or on a phone at the site.

  • Sales, planning, field, finance and service in one system. Estimating, scheduling, purchasing, invoicing and warranty service share one project file instead of five separate tools.

  • Office and site. Open the responsive browser interface on a desktop, tablet or phone to reach the current project records.

  • Built in Weinheim, Germany. L&I IT-solutions writes and operates the software, so there is no reseller layer between you and the people who maintain the code.

  • English, German and French. Each user picks a language for their own profile while the project data stays identical for everyone.

What happens in the field is ready for the office

Sales, preconstruction, field, finance and service share the same project file. Each update is entered once and is available to the next person responsible.

  • Win the right work

    Move each lead through estimating and proposal without retyping customer or project data.

    Transfer accepted estimate lines into the project budget with their quantities and cost assumptions.

    Open the sales pipeline
  • Plan the build

    Turn the contract into activities, resources, deadlines and named responsibilities.

    Move one activity and the plan shows which trades and delivery dates move with it.

    See scheduling
  • Run the field

    Record daily work, decisions, documents, RFIs and defects against the current project.

    A photo taken at eleven in the morning is in the project file before the site meeting starts.

    See daily reports
  • Control costs

    Compare the budget with commitments, change orders, invoices and payments.

    Every variance links back to the purchase order or invoice that caused it.

Estimating, job costs and billing for home builders

Build an estimate from quantities and unit costs, transfer accepted estimate lines to the budget, and prepare progress invoices against the contract. Project records connect the commercial work with construction progress and the defects awaiting acceptance.

Construction estimating software

Build itemized home-building estimates with quantities, unit costs, markups, margin, optional items and cost types that can become the project budget.

  • Calculate selling prices, markups and margin while editing line items
  • Print customer-facing proposals without exposing internal cost or margin
  • Transfer accepted estimate lines into grouped project budget items

Home building project management

Manage every home-building project with contract value, billing, schedule status, progress, customer record, cost groups and current decisions in one project file.

  • Filter and export the project portfolio by phase, manager and status
  • Connect budget, invoices, change orders, RFIs and field updates in the project file
  • Keep customer, dates, progress and responsibility as editable structured data

Construction punch list and defect management

Manage defects across projects from capture and trade assignment through correction and verified acceptance in a list or Kanban board.

  • Prioritize defects by due date, severity, location and responsible trade
  • Move operational statuses on a Kanban board with save-failure rollback
  • Reserve final acceptance for an explicit superintendent review action

Construction invoicing software

  • Calculate net, tax, gross and remaining contract billing basis
  • Track partial payments, discount, overdue days and reminder level
  • Export filtered accounting data and individual XRechnung documents

The assistant answers from your own project data

A fixed rail on the right of every internal page takes the visible page content, the matching documentation and, inside a project file, up to three site photos. It answers with the records you are already allowed to open and links to every source it used.

  • Its tools inherit the signed-in user’s permissions, so it can never read a record that person could not open.

  • Write actions arrive as proposals that a person accepts; only an administrator can switch on the audited bypass.

  • The monthly figure in the header is a cost guide for platform AI, shown to the company rather than enforced as a cap.

Everyone works from the plan that is current right now

Site managers describe the same day over and over: the drawing downloaded at ten to four was already superseded by the time it came off the plotter. Documents carry their revision, the project file shows which one is in force, and a superseded sheet is marked rather than quietly replaced.

The record works the other way too. Daily reports, photos, weather, crew hours and signatures stay attached to the day they describe, so a question in the second warranty year is answered from the project file instead of from somebody’s memory.

Read the use cases

Built for the whole home-building team

Owners, estimators, project managers, superintendents, accounting and subcontractors work from the same current project file without giving everyone access to everything.

  • Owner

    Opens the dashboard with contract volume, overdue receivables, open defects and the My tasks block of decisions waiting for a signature.

    Open the dashboard
  • Estimator

    Prices the estimate line by line, prints the proposal without internal cost or margin, and watches its binding deadline until the customer decides.

    See proposal tracking
  • Site manager

    Writes the daily report with photos and crew hours on the phone and raises an RFI with due date and responder when a drawing leaves a question open.

    See RFIs and approvals
  • Accountant

    Issues progress invoices from the contract sum, books each receipt against the invoice it settles, and clears imported bank transactions one by one.

Run it on your own servers if that is what your company needs

Two operating models are on offer: a managed cloud that we host and keep updated, or a one-time license installed on infrastructure your own administrators control. The self-hosted version can also be adapted to your processes, specified and quoted apart from the license itself.

Where the project data lives therefore stays a decision you make, not one that arrives with a hosting contract. The same product runs in both models, in English, German and French.

Frequently asked questions

What is Home Builder Software?

Home Builder Software is an integrated construction management system for home builders. One project file carries sales, estimating, scheduling, field documentation, purchasing, invoicing, workforce and warranty service, so a figure entered on site reaches the office without a second entry and without a parallel spreadsheet.

Is Home Builder Software suitable for small home builders?

Yes. The managed cloud starts at $70 per month with every module included, and the quote grows only with the number of users and the storage you need. A two-person office gets the same product as a company with thirty people on staff.

Can we run and customize the software on our own infrastructure?

Yes. A self-hosted license is paid once. Your administrators keep the servers, the database and the backups under their own control. Customizing beyond the standard scope is specified together with you and quoted as a separate piece of work.

Which languages are supported?

English, German and French are available in the product and on this website. Each user picks a language in the top right corner and the choice stays with their profile, so an English-speaking site manager and a German back office can read the same project file in their own language.
