BuildRIQ is the job site app for general contractors and the subcontractors they hire. Build smarter.
AI MATERIAL LISTS → SUPPLIER PRICES
• Upload plans and AI measures every trade (framing, drywall, roofing, concrete, electrical and more) with waste and the sheet behind each number. You review every line.
• Send the list to your lumber yards and supply houses. They price it from a web page, no account needed.
• Compare prices line by line and pick one. BuildRIQ never takes a cut or handles payment.
• Order in minutes: pick from 100+ common materials or type your own, send the order to one supplier and follow it from confirmed to delivered. You pay the supplier directly.
• Export material lists as CSV or PDF, or add them to a bid request.
RECEIPTS STRAIGHT INTO THE BUDGET
• Snap a receipt and BuildRIQ reads the store, date, total and every line, sorts it into materials, equipment and more, and adds it to the job's budget.
• Split a receipt across jobs in two taps. Duplicates are caught for you.
• Your crew can scan receipts too, without seeing the money.
FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS
• Home shows what needs you: approve change orders, review schedule changes and compare new bids in one tap.
• Request bids by trade. Electricians, plumbers, framers and more near the job are notified right away.
• Bid follow-up: see who opened, bid or went quiet; subs get reminders before bids are due.
• AI bid review: what each bid includes and excludes, priced like for like. Compare bids side by side.
• Find subs near the job, including licensed contractors from state license lists, and invite them to bid.
• Job finances: budget by category, committed bids, change orders, receipts and invoices. BuildRIQ keeps the numbers; it never moves money.
• Gantt schedules with dependencies, inspections, deliveries and milestones.
• Daily logs that start with a photo, with notes, crew and hours, even with no signal.
• Change orders, punch lists, daily report PDFs and a live progress page for your homeowner.
• Professional estimates with your own letterhead; turn an approved estimate into a job.
• Bring your whole team: owners and admins approve money, project managers and superintendents run the sites.
FOR SUBCONTRACTORS
• See jobs in your trades within the distance you travel.
• Open the plans, ask questions and send your bid with what's included.
• Once you win: log your work, update tasks, ask for new dates, request change orders and message the crew.
• Show your work with a portfolio, verified license and insurance badges, and reviews.
BUILT FOR THE JOB SITE
• One button for the things you do every day: photo or daily log, task, bids, estimate, message, new job.
• Talk instead of type in logs, messages, tasks and punch items.
• English and Español, switchable in the app.
• Larger text and a high-contrast mode for bright sunlight.
• Messages for the whole job or one person, with @mentions and read receipts.
• Notifications you control, with quiet hours. Approve or reply right from the notification.
• Home-screen widget, Face ID lock, dark mode, VoiceOver, and iPad.
