About Buildr
What is Buildr?
Buildr is an AI-powered preconstruction software designed specifically for general contractors. It unifies CRM, estimating, bidding, forecasting, and workforce planning into a single workspace, replacing fragmented tools like spreadsheets, generic CRMs, and manual proposal assembly.
What problem does it solve?
Preconstruction teams often waste time juggling multiple systems, losing historical data, and manually assembling bids. Buildr centralizes data and uses AI (via Kit, the AI preconstruction agent) to speed up workflows—turning RFPs into estimates, generating proposal PDFs, and forecasting revenue gaps.
Who is it for?
Buildr is for general contractors, from mid-sized firms to larger enterprises, who want to increase pursuit capacity without adding headcount. It's ideal for teams moving beyond spreadsheets or generic CRMs. It may not fit subcontractors or firms with very simple bidding needs.
Real use cases
Use Buildr to track pursuits and client relationships, build estimates from historical cost data, manage bid invitations and leveling, forecast revenue across backlog and active jobs, and plan workforce capacity. AI features let you upload an RFP and get a project setup, or ask Kit for past pricing benchmarks.
