“Contractor Foreman couldn't handle our growth. Sitewise scales with us.”
Buildertrend is built for home builders. If you also do service work or need real profitability tracking, here's how Sitewise compares.

Sitewise handles residential and commercial projects with the same system. Manage a kitchen remodel in the morning and a commercial buildout in the afternoon on the same workflows, the same job costing and the same reporting. No workarounds required.
Sitewise provides real-time job costing that aggregates labor, materials, equipment, and overhead automatically. See profitability update as the work happens, not weeks later when you are reconciling spreadsheets.
Sitewise pushes customers, vendors, invoices and bills into QuickBooks Online, with projects landing as sub-customers so the numbers arrive job by job. Payments recorded in QuickBooks flow back and mark the document paid. Nothing else is ever changed from the QuickBooks side, so there is exactly one source of truth for the job.
Sitewise handles project work and service work in one platform. Raise a work order, put it on a crew, and have them close it out from the phone, on the same system that runs your construction jobs.
Sitewise mobile was built for the field from day one, and it works with no signal at all. Basements, rural lots, anywhere the bars run out. Crews walk the job, start and finish work orders, clock in and out against GPS, capture photos and collect a signature, and every bit of it syncs the moment they are back in range.
