Build IT LIVE vs ProBuilder Buddy

Create your personalized agenda, network with peers, connect with vendors, earn points through interactive games and join discussions using the Build IT LIVE event app.

ProBuilder Buddy is a project management app built for residential home builders and the homeowners they work with. Run your builds, share progress with your clients, and keep every project's budget, timeline, and paperwork in one place. Built by a contractor who got tired of bouncing between texts, spreadsheets, and email threads. WHY BUILDERS USE IT • Run multiple jobs from one dashboard. See every active project, its budget, its progress, and what's coming up next. • Track budgets line by line. Set a total, log spending against phases, and see remaining funds at a glance. • Build a real timeline. Break each project into phases and tasks, track progress, and update homeowners without a phone call. • Handle draws cleanly. Log draw requests, attach supporting documents, and keep a clear record of what was paid and when. • Manage selections in one place. Track every fixture, finish, and product decision with the homeowner — no more lost emails. • Share files and photos. Upload contracts, plans, change orders, progress photos. Everything organized by project. • Message inside the project. Conversations stay tied to the job, not buried in your texts. WHY HOMEOWNERS LIKE IT • See exactly where your project stands without chasing the builder. • Approve selections, review draws, and ask questions in context. • View progress photos and timeline updates as they happen. • Access every document, contract, and message in one place. FEATURES • Project dashboard with budget, timeline, and progress • Phase- and task-level timeline tracking • Draw requests with supporting documents • Selections and product catalog • Change order tracking • File and photo sharing (with storage management) • In-app messaging • Push notifications for new activity • Builder and Homeowner roles • Help articles built into the app PRIVACY ProBuilder Buddy collects only what's needed to run the app — your email, the project data you create, and the files you upload. We do not run ads, do not use third-party trackers, and do not sell your data. You can delete your account and all associated data from within the app at any time.
