How BuilderTrend Helps Communication During Your Kitchen Remodel

How BuilderTrend Keeps You Engaged During Your Kitchen Remodel Kurtis Kitchen and Bath

The Project Management Institute recently highlighted that approximately one of every five projects fails due to ineffective communication, demonstrating two critical truths: Communication is the key and every industry struggles with it. As the customer considering a builder for a new kitchen remodel, you should expect that company to  , both internally and with you.

Kurtis Kitchen & Bath is the only builder in the region using BuilderTrend project management software to accomplish just that. Read on to learn how this software will benefit you during your upcoming project.

What Is BuilderTrend?

BuilderTrend is web-based project management software that is accessible from any device; it improves transparency, productivity, and efficiency. It provides true project centralization, cutting down on miscommunications and delays. This includes real-time 24/7 access to scheduling, change orders, documents, photos, warranty details, the selections you have made as the homeowner, and much more.

It enables better communication with all parties throughout the build process and gives you the oversight you desire on project progress and obstacles. Users can upload photos and access a daily log from any smartphone.

What It Gives the Builder

The software gives your builder unparalleled project management abilities. Employees can log timesheets and clock in from the job site using the mobile app with location details included, increasing efficiency and accountability. Subcontractors can use the software to bid on project jobs.

Daily logs provide quick updates and have integrated voice-to-text technology. The builder can create customized to-do lists to keep subcontractors accountable and provide real-time completion updates from the job site. The scheduler offers custom templates with automatic schedule shifts, including notifications to affected parties.

Using the cloud, this software provides a repository for job site progress photos, build orders, timesheets, and blueprints. This drastically reduces the amount of paperwork that must be completed daily. It even allows authorized users to annotate blueprints and save multiple versions for redundancy purposes. The internal messenger, with a fully integrated search function, allows the project manager to send direct messages to specific contractors and use comment threads for better organization. It also provides a direct channel to you to keep you in the loop.

What It Gives You

The software provides you with unmatched oversight while reducing the need for meetings, which keeps the project moving forward. It allows you to review previous job history for the builder and subcontractors through a customized login. The builder can send design specifications, progress photos, and feedback requests to you.

The internal messaging capability allows you to communicate directly with the project lead and search previous messages and discussions. Real-time updates to your schedule allow you to stay on top of what is happening, plan your schedule to attend required appointments on the job site, be aware of inspections, and keep the project on task with targeted inquiries, quick approval of change requests, and more.

The cloud repository provides an organized space to keep track of important documents, eliminating the paper trail you need to keep on hand throughout the remodel. Finally, it allows you a birds-eye view of expenditures (so you know where your money is going) and gives you the ability to approve any potential changes.

The success of a remodel project relies on team integration, collaborative work, and clear communication. Leveraging technology like BuilderTrend enables project managers to remain informed, track schedules, streamline workflows, and improve communications, allowing them to deliver your completed kitchen faster.
