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. ## Is BuildrIQ safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess BuildrIQ. ## Is BuildrIQ legit?

BuildRIQ reads it and fills in the budget by category for you to review. • Address suggestions as you type a job's address. • Add a note when you assign a task; the person sees it with the task. • Bids now say "Completed by". Find licensed contractors and local businesses near the job and send your bid request to many at once. They can bid from a link, no app needed. • "Get quotes for me": BuildRIQ picks the right suppliers for your material list, asks them all, follows up once, and tells you which quote to order from. • Find a lot: search vacant land in Maricopa County by size, use and value, save lots to a job, and use one as the job's address. • Bigger tap targets, better large-text support, and the keyboard no longer hides "Send request". ### 1.2 — 2026-11-11 • Rename a task from its menu: tap ⋯ → Edit task. • More accurate material takeoffs: block and retaining walls are counted wall by wall with the right block sizes, scanned plans are read more closely, and work drawn on two sheets is counted once. ### 1.1 — 2026-11-08 Order materials in minutes • Pick from 100+ common materials or type your own items. • Review the order, choose a supplier and a delivery date, and send it. The supplier confirms and prices it from a web link, no account needed. • Follow it from confirmed to out for delivery to delivered, then check it in and report anything short or damaged. • You pay the supplier directly. BuildRIQ never handles payment. ### 1.0 — 2026-11-07 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
