Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Builder Prime is a cloud-based CRM and business management platform for residential and commercial contractors, remodelers, and multi-location or franchise businesses. It brings lead tracking, pipeline management, automated email and SMS follow-ups, estimates, proposals, digital contracts, e-signatures, production scheduling, work orders, job costing, invoicing, payments, and reporting into one system. Office, sales, administrative, field, and crew users are supported, with field-user access for jobs, time tracking, photo uploads, and status updates.
Pricing is structured around a mandatory $300-per-month Platform fee, plus user charges. Core users cost $60 per user per month and include full CRM access, administration, reporting, and configuration. Field users cost $10 per user per month and include mobile access and field workflows. Multi-Location and Bolt Insights each cost $25 per core user per month, while SMS Messaging costs $200 per month. A 14-day trial is available. The published plans also show an Enterprise tier for 50+ users, multi-location support, franchise networks, a dedicated customer success manager, and service-level agreements.
Builder Prime’s breadth is its main differentiator for contractors that want sales, operations, finance, and field coordination connected. Integrations include QuickBooks, CompanyCam, GreenSky, HomeAdvisor, Angi, Wisetack, Aircall, RingCentral, Hover, Eagleview, Zapier, Gmail, and Google Calendar. Custom reporting, business intelligence, and Bolt Insights add analytical depth, including AI-powered analytics, custom dashboards, natural-language questions, trends, and opportunities. It fits contractors seeking a broad system with published entry pricing; companies wanting a lightweight CRM or broader native platform coverage should consider alternatives.
