GoBuild

What it is

GoBuild is construction-management software for general contractors, home builders, remodelers, and specialty trades. It brings schedules, crews, clients, documents, signatures, and job finances together in one workspace. Scheduling offers timeline, board, and calendar views, reusable templates, task dependencies that cascade to later work, and baselines for tracking slippage. In the field app, crews can clock in with geofencing, capture photos and notes, record receipt costs, message crews and subcontractors, and receive push notifications. The app supports offline-first use as a progressive web app. AI tools draft estimates from photos, takeoffs from plans, proposals, client updates, schedule changes, and receipt records; users can review, edit, or discard each draft. Client and sales tools cover leads, branded proposals signed online, a client portal, client selections, email and text contacts, and self-booked site visits. The invoice hub supports online card and bank payments and tracks invoices, budgets, purchase orders, bills, vendors, and job costs. The single Everything plan includes unlimited jobs, all features, and the whole crew, with monthly or annual billing. A quote follows a demo. GoBuild is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and identifies its location as Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
