About BuildCrux: Contractor Manager
BuildCrux is AI construction estimating software for remodelers and small general contractors. Drop a PDF drawing set in — residential remodels, restaurants, dental fit-outs, retail buildouts, medspa, clinics, or pharma compounding centers — and walk out with priced line items inside the dollar range a senior commercial estimator would quote, in twelve minutes. THE WEDGE — AI ESTIMATING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS • Multi-pass pipeline on PDF drawing sets up to 500 pages • Residential + commercial TI: restaurants, dental, retail, medspa, clinics, pharmacies • Sub-bid scope filter — estimate only the kitchen, only the millwork, only the MEP (built for trade contractors bidding into a GC) • Validated against senior-estimator dollar precision: $686K on an 80-page pharma compounding center vs the $700K–$850K human-estimator reference range, with 48 line items • Non-drawing pages (energy reports, specs) auto-filtered out of takeoff • Cover-sheet auto-extracts address for project naming A FULL CONTRACTOR WORKSPACE, INCLUDED The estimating engine ships inside a complete workspace — win the bid and run the job from one platform. PROJECTS — Track your jobs with status (estimating, in progress, on hold, done), client info, timelines, tasks, team assignments. INVOICES & PAYMENTS — Build line-item invoices, send secure payment links via email or SMS, auto-track paid/pending/overdue. CONTRACTS & E-SIGN — Generate from templates, send for signature, store signed PDFs alongside the project. Multi-signer support. CHANGE ORDERS — Numbered CO system with approval workflow, cost-impact tracking, and a full audit trail. MILEAGE — Tap Start Trip and GPS auto-logs your route. Export at the IRS business rate for tax deductions. EXPENSES & RECEIPTS — Snap a photo, AI extracts vendor and amount and category. Tag by project for clean job costing. TEAM MANAGEMENT — Invite subs and office staff. Role-based permissions, private 1:1 DMs, project-scoped messaging, broadcasts. CUSTOMER PORTAL — Clients view invoices, sign contracts, approve change orders, pay online.
