Professional Field Tools
for Home Builders.
Custom and spec home builders shouldn’t need enterprise level software to run their sites and field crews properly. Buildster gives your owners, PMs, and site supervisors a dedicated field tool for photo documentation, blueprint sharing, snag tracking, and checklists without the enterprise price tag.

The Problem
Most home builders are running their sites on texts, emails, and native phone apps
When you’re managing multiple active sites, the gap between what’s happening in the field and what the office knows keeps growing. Photos get lost, snags get missed, and blueprints go stale in someone’s inbox. There’s a better way.
Photo documentation is a manual mess
Photo documentation linked to blueprints is generally only available through third-party contractors with specialty software. For most home builders, it’s not cost effective so photos end up scattered across personal phones and text threads instead.
Snags get missed and subs don’t come back
Catching a deficiency is one thing. Getting the right sub back to fix it is another. Without a proper tracking system, mistakes slip through and your team ends up absorbing the cost.
Checklists and blueprints don’t travel well
PDFs get emailed once and go stale. Checklists built in iPhone Notes can’t be shared with Android users and don’t tell you who completed what, or when.
Why Buildster
Field management built for the way home builders actually work
Professional photo documentation, all from your phone
Photo documentation linked to blueprints used to mean hiring a third-party contractor with specialty software. Buildster gives smaller builders the same capability without the cost. Drop directional markers onto your plans, attach photos to the exact location where the work happened, and everything is timestamped and accessible to anyone on the project.
Catch snags and document them on the spot
Pin tasks and deficiencies directly to blueprint locations, assign them to the right person, and track them to completion. Subs can see the level of organization behind every walkthrough, which makes holding them accountable a lot easier.
Blueprints shared the moment you upload them
Upload your drawing set once and every team member gets instant access. No more emailing PDFs back and forth or hunting for the latest version on someone’s phone.
Checklists and task tracking your whole crew can use
Create and share checklists with your site supervisors, carpenters, and sub trades. Every item shows who checked it off and when. Works across iOS and Android, no compatibility issues.
