Why Builtstraight, not Buildertrend.
Buildertrend will not tell you a price until you have filled in its quote form. If you run plots with subcontractors, what you need every day is the programme, the trades on each stage, the evidence that each one was built as agreed, checked as it arrives with AI flagging poor work, and the safety file for the site. Builtstraight does all of that for a price you can read on this page, your subcontractors never pay, and you can start free on one plot today.
