Every build. Same process. Better outcome.
TradeTrack gives home builders a repeatable system — a pre-sequenced build schedule applied to every lot, trade coordination from one platform, and a professional client portal that keeps homeowners informed without keeping you on the phone.

You've built forty homes. Every one should run the same way. Somehow they never do.
Residential building has a rhythm — foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, drywall, trim, finish. Every custom home follows the same sequence. But the schedule is rebuilt from scratch every time, the homeowner calls every Tuesday wanting to know when the cabinets arrive, and the framing sub you've used for ten years still gets notified of schedule changes by text message.
TradeTrack gives you the system to run every build the same way — with a consistent schedule process, a professional client experience, and your trade stack connected to the platform.
Start every build from a proven schedule.
TradeTrack includes a Home Build scheduler template — a full residential build sequence with 21 phases and 38 subtasks, covering every trade from foundation to punch list. Apply it to a new lot in seconds. Adjust what's different. Start running the job.
What the template includes
- Site preparation and layout
- Foundation and concrete work
- Framing — structure, walls, roof deck
- Roofing
- Windows and exterior doors
- Rough-in — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas
- Insulation
- Drywall — hang, tape, finish
- Interior trim and doors
- Flooring
- Cabinets and countertops
- Paint — prime and finish
- Plumbing and electrical finish
- HVAC finish and commissioning
- Exterior finish — siding, grading, landscape
- Final inspections and punch list
How it works
- 1
Create a new project for the lot.
- 2
Apply the Home Build template — the full task sequence loads with one action.
- 3
Adjust dates, assign your trades, and post the schedule. Every sub and crew member is notified.
Templates are not rigid. Every task and subtask is editable — adjust durations, reorder tasks, add trade-specific subtasks, or remove what doesn't apply to this build. The template is a starting point, not a straitjacket.
The same trades. Every build. Managed in one place.
Your plumber, your electrician, your framing crew — they're the same people on every job. TradeTrack keeps them in your sub directory, linked to the right projects, with their compliance docs current and their schedule access scoped to what they need.
Build your trade stack once.
Add every trade to your sub directory with their contact info, trade type, and compliance documents. Link them to new projects in seconds — no re-entering information for every build.
Know who's current before they step on site.
Insurance certs and expiry dates tracked per sub. See which trades are current and which need a renewal before the next phase starts. No surprises at the inspection.
Every trade sees their part. Nothing else.
When you link a trade to a build, they see the schedule tasks relevant to their scope, the documents you've shared with them, and the change orders that affect their work. Your costs, your other builds, and your other subs are invisible to them.
Keep the homeowner informed. Without the calls.
Send the homeowner a portal link on day one. They see the build schedule, the latest job site photos, and any change orders that need their approval — in their browser, no account required. They stop calling because they can see for themselves.
What the homeowner sees
- Build schedule — read-only view of the current posted timeline
- Progress photos — updated as your crew uploads from the site
- Change orders — scope and pricing detail for any scope changes, with one-click approve or reject
- Documents — plans, specs, or any files you've opened to the portal
What you control
- Toggle each section on or off per homeowner
- Set a welcome message with the homeowner's name
- Set an expiry date — portal access ends when the job closes
- Regenerate the link at any time if it needs to be reissued
- Deactivate instantly without deleting the configuration
The homeowner who has a portal link and can see their build progressing in real time calls less, trusts the process more, and refers more. A professional client experience is not just a nice-to-have — it is a business development tool.
Know where the budget stands before the homeowner asks.
Home builds run long. Costs drift. Change orders happen. Cost tracking in TradeTrack shows you budget vs. actual — labor, materials, subs, and change orders — at any point in the build, not just at close.
Build the project estimate before breaking ground. Section by section — foundation, framing, MEP, finish work. The approved estimate becomes the budget baseline the job tracks against.
EstimatingWhen the homeowner changes the tile, upgrades the fixtures, or adds the deck they 'weren't sure about,' the change order is built, sent for approval, and automatically added to the project budget. No informal agreements. No invoice surprises.
Document builderLabor hours from your crew, materials from purchase orders, sub costs from linked contracts — all in one cost view, tracked against the estimate from day one.
Cost trackingBuilding spec? The platform works the same way.
Spec builders don't have a homeowner to update — but they have investors, buyers, and real estate agents who want visibility. The client portal works for any stakeholder who needs a professional project view without full platform access.
Investor portals
Give investors a portal link showing build progress, photos, and cost summary. Professional visibility without platform access.
Buyer transition
When the spec home goes under contract, generate a buyer portal. They see the punch list progress and closing prep without you answering daily calls.
A home build is not a commercial project with residential finishes. It is a different job — and it needs software that knows that.
The scheduler template, the homeowner portal, the trade stack management — these features exist in TradeTrack because a working contractor who has built homes put them there. Not because a product manager read a market report.
If you're building homes and you're still piecing together your process from a scheduling app, a spreadsheet, and a text thread — there is a better way.
