Our verdict on Build Method
Build Method is construction management software for builders, remodelers, and general contractors. Its remodeling workflow brings estimating and takeoffs, project budgets, scheduling, selections, allowances, change orders, client communication, vendor coordination, invoicing, and payments into one system. Client and vendor portals extend the workflow beyond the internal team, while daily logs, inspections, punch lists, and jobsite photos support project documentation. It is a strong fit for small remodeling teams that want broad coverage rather than a tool focused on only one project phase.
Pricing is paid-only, with a 14-day trial. The 1 User plan is listed at $99 per month with annual billing. The 2 Users plan costs $179 per month monthly or $149 per month annually; 4 Users costs $239 monthly or $199 annually; and 6 Users costs $359 monthly or $299 annually. Each listed plan includes all features, unlimited projects, unlimited customers, and unlimited vendors. The annual option lowers the monthly rate for the 2-, 4-, and 6-user plans, while the 1 User package is presented with annual billing. This structure suits teams that can estimate their working user count and prefer a complete feature set at every tier.
The platform connects with QuickBooks, Xero, Google Calendar, and Stripe, giving it a practical fit for accounting, calendar, and online payment workflows. Its standout breadth is the combination of project controls, homeowner selections, approval-based change orders, subcontractor coordination, and field records. Teams can also use progress billing, invoices, purchase orders, schedules, and document sharing within the broader workflow. Choose Build Method if your remodeling business needs one system spanning office and jobsite processes. Teams seeking a free product or a narrowly focused scheduling tool should consider a simpler alternative.
