Home Builders and Residential Contractors

Home Builders and residential contractors involved in building houses or multi-unit housing structures share many of the needs of the commercial builder, but they often differ due to the size and the multi-purpose needs of the structures. ComputerEase construction management software helps address these needs.

Key areas for many home and residential builders are subcontractor management, change order management, and lot price purchasing.

Perhaps you are building twenty homes in a subdivision based on several models. Each individual home buyer may customize their new home with standard options, but later in the build phase opt for higher- or lower-end options. This involves a change order. How do you know the change order that you are looking at is the most current one? Has the cost of this change order been captured and billed appropriately? What impact does this change order have on scheduling? Can you quickly shift personnel to a different site while waiting for delivery of the changed item? You can when you’re using the ComputerEase employee center tool!

As a residential contractor or home builder, you know you are going to need approximately 50 toilet units of varying colors and styles. Can you take advantage of lot price purchasing? Do you have some of these items in your warehouse as inventory returned from another job? Is your inventory management system capable of telling you what could be used from your warehouse? How quickly can you get these items onsite to meet deadlines?

With ComputerEase construction management software, these and many more project management questions can be quickly answered either onsite or from the main office.
