Our process captures every hour and expense. We create detailed invoices weekly for every client. We can bill by phase, percent completion, or TMI.

BuilderServe handles your contracts and agreements with clients, vendors and subs. Change orders happen; and we help prepare and send those out, as well.
Payroll
We can manage your entire payroll program. Our easy-to-use app captures project time. Your account manager will handle it all for you while you build.
Marketing
BuilderServe can help you create and manage everything from a buzzworthy business card to a winning website. Social media profiles, even do email campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got more questions? Contact us. We’re all about transparency.
Is this another software or app?
No! BuilderServe is a Human to Human service using software and apps. We work WITH you to use the software effectively. While you will do a minimum of tasks in different apps every week, we will be doing most of the work on your behalf behind the scenes. AND, we are developing an app to make it all even easier!
What Does BuilderServe NOT Do?
BuilderServe can do everything but make the sawdust for you. Seriously, we can basically do anything you don’t want to do, except the building. You’re better at that than we are.
I have a bookkeeper. Why switch?
That’s a good first step. It’s likely that whomever is doing it doesn’t have our knowledge in the industry. With specialists in every aspect of business and contracting, BuilderServe assures you are doing everything in the best way possible. We can even work with your bookkeeper if you wish to stay with them!
Can my wife/partner still do my bookkeeping?
Yes. BuilderServe can work with them, and they will not have nearly as much to do. Their new role will be more like an office manager than a bookkeeper.
Can't I just do all this myself?
Sure. But it will take years before you are doing it correctly. It will also cost you several thousand dollars of mistakes as you learn it. Then, you still have to make the time to do all we can do for you.
Oh – AND build. Ugh.
I want to start a business. can you help?
Yes. We have helped many people start their own business in the trades. From registering in your state, to your first invoice, BuilderServe will be there every step of the way.
Can BuilderServe help me get legit?
Yes. For so many reasons, if you are working in the shadows you need to do this. Let’s talk.
What is the network? Where is it?
It will become your go-to for: communicating with your account manager; finding other companies or suppliers near your job; rating and finding companies you and others have worked with; finding projects that other tradespeople list; and more! And only BuilderServe offers it.
What Software Do We Use?
- We have preferred software that we know works, but we will use whatever software fits your situation – we’ve probably used it
- Our preferred software is:
- QuickBooks Online for accounting and time tracking
- Smartsheet for data, forms and other information
- Microsoft E1 license apps for communications
- Bill.com for you to approve payments
- Customized templates for the above software
- Our app (Soon!) for access to all of your info in one place
Do I Have to Learn the Software?
No, because we know it well. We use it for you, and with you. You’ll learn just the essential tasks, from us, and then as much as you want to.
I'm ready! What's next?
Contact us and we will guide you through the first steps. Sign the agreement, pay the setup fees, and your account manager will take it from there.
