BuildBook vs Submittal Exchange

BuildBook is construction management software for residential custom home builders, remodelers, and specialty contractors. It brings sales, project work, and client communication into one system, with tools for pipeline and contact management, estimates, branded proposals, digital approvals, and a reusable price book. Project features include Gantt scheduling, task management, budgets, change orders, client selections, expense tracking, and file sharing. Project chat rooms, daily logs, client portals, inline comments, notifications, and public links support communication. BuildBook syncs project data, bills, expenses, and invoices with QuickBooks Online, and schedules can sync with iCal. The native iOS and Android apps include device notifications, camera roll access, and video recording; web access is also available. A free plan is limited to one user, and guests can access projects. Paid plans start at $79/user/mo (annual); a 10-day trial includes every feature and requires no credit card. BuildBook is not designed for large commercial firms or tract builders with internal sales teams and custom systems.
