For design-build remodelers

Remote operations team for residential design-build remodelers.
Design + build, one continuous operation.

For residential and light-commercial design-build remodelers in mid-size U.S. cities. We operate inside Buildertrend, Houzz Pro, Jobber, or JobTread — holding the selection catalog, the design phase, and the build phase under one continuous process.

The design-build-specific problem

Three bottlenecks that repeat on every design-build job.

This isn’t a VA answering email. It’s the full operation — catalog, coordination between the design phase and the build phase, and change-order processing — sustained inside the software you already use.

Change orders that cross the boundary between design and build.

A selection that changes at the design presentation impacts the takeoff, the purchase orders, and the trade sequence. Without someone recording the impact against the budget before the change is approved, the margin evaporates between the signed design contract and the first construction draw.

Subcontractor sequencing when two trades land on the same day.

Plumber and stone fabricator on the same day, electrician and painter the next. In design-build the trade density per day is high and the sequence depends on the actual progress of the previous phase — without someone pushing it day by day, the job slips a week and the client notices before you do.

Client change orders that get lost between presentation and invoice approval.

The client signs off on selection A on Tuesday, switches to selection B on Friday, and by the next week nobody remembers what was approved. When change-order tracking is manual, the final invoice doesn’t match the signed budget and the dispute lands on you at the end of the job.

The software we integrate with

We work inside the software you already pay for.

We don’t install new tools. We map your selection catalog, your change-order flow, and the transition between the design phase and the build phase onto the license you already use.

Buildertrend
On design-build projects, like this:

We map your selection catalog against the budget lines, keep the design-phase and build-phase milestones synchronized, and tie change orders back to the same item you already loaded.

Houzz Pro
On design-build projects, like this:

We sync the inquiry pipeline, the selection meetings with the end client, and the measurement calendar, keeping the experience you already give the client during the design phase intact.

Jobber
On design-build projects, like this:

We run your advanced quote workflows, automatic technical-visit reminders, and the client communication on jobsite progress, on the same account you already use.

JobTread
On design-build projects, like this:

We keep design-phase and build-phase budgets up to date, the transitions between design retainer and construction draws, and the cost reports per selected item.

How we integrate

Three stops. Your same software. One design + build operation.

We sign a mutual NDA before touching anything. Each team member receives individual credentials with mandatory 2FA — no one shares access to your Buildertrend, Houzz Pro, or Jobber.

We learn your selection catalog, how you present change orders to the client, your per-phase subcontractor network, and your two-stage invoicing flow (design retainer + construction draws). Nothing is reinvented.

Recurring estimates, selection catalog maintenance, change-order processing between presentation and invoice approval, and per-trade jobsite schedule tracking. The dedicated team is operating before day fourteen.

Tiers in a design-build context

Starter or Growth — by your volume of active design-build jobs.

Same prices as the base packages, but applied to the design-build remodeler’s real flow: recurring estimates, catalog maintenance, coordination between the design phase and the build phase, and change-order processing.

Five to seven business days reviewing your design-build portfolio, your CRM, your selection catalog, the transition between the design phase and the build phase, and the bottlenecks eating your hours. At the end, a clear report and an estimated number of hours recovered per month — no long-term contract to start.
