If you own more than one property, the details live in your head, your texts, and a folder somewhere. BuildSync gives them one home. Give every address its own board, and keep the work, the people, and the paperwork for that property in one place instead of five. WHAT YOU CAN DO One board per property Create a board for each property you own. Log the work as tasks, set priority and due dates, and see status and progress at a glance instead of checking five different places. One schedule across everything Put the work on a calendar and see what's coming up and what's overdue across every property you own. Bring in only the people who need to be there Invite the people who work on a property and give each one a role, so a person you hire sees their lane and not your whole portfolio. Keep the conversation with the job Message the people on a property inside the app, on the board the work already lives on, instead of scattering it across group texts. Photos and paperwork, filed by property Upload receipts, documents, and photos to the property they belong to, so you can find them later when the water heater fails or a buyer's inspector asks. Hours and progress you can pull a report on Track hours against a property and export total-hours, per-person, and daily-progress reports, plus a photo log and an audit trail of what changed. Search across everything Find a job, a document, or a person across every property from one search. Spotty signal is fine Your data is cached on the device and syncs back up when you reconnect. WHO IT'S FOR - Owners of two or more homes, rentals, or units - Landlords handling their own maintenance and turnovers - Anyone with a primary home plus a second home, cabin, or rental - Owners coordinating the tradespeople they hire, rather than employing a crew BuildSync is free to start: 3 properties, 3 people, 1GB of storage. Pro raises that to 50 properties, 25 people, and 25GB.
