What is the best software for home builders?
The best home builder software joins the buyer sale to the build. LynkedUp Pro handles the buyer pipeline, selections and allowances, the construction schedule, trade partners, draws, the buyer portal, and warranty — so a builder does not run a CRM and a construction system side by side.
Does it work for custom builders as well as production builders?
Yes. Production builders use plan templates and repeatable schedules; custom builders use per-project scopes, allowances, and cost-plus billing. Both use the same selections and change-order flow.
Can buyers see their home's progress?
Yes. The client portal shows the current phase, progress photos, approved selections, documents, and any decision that is due — which is the single biggest reduction in inbound calls builders report after switching.
Does it handle cost-plus and fixed-price contracts?
Both. Fixed-price jobs track margin against a contract value; cost-plus jobs bill actual cost with a fee, drawing from the same purchase orders and invoices.
Will it work with my lender's draw requirements?
Draw packages assemble from the photos, inspections, and lien waivers already captured on the job, and export in standard document formats for the lender.
