Founding builders: the first companies to sign up get their first job set up with me, free. — Todd How it works →
BOS — Builder Operating System

You know how to build a house.

Nobody taught you the rest.

The contracts, the change orders, the schedule, the draw, the client who wants to know what's happening. You learned framing on a job. You're learning this at your kitchen table at eleven at night.

$199 a month. Unlimited jobs, unlimited users, no contracts.

The building isn't the hard part.

You went out on your own because you're good at this. Then you found out that running a company is a second job nobody hired you for — and one you're expected to already know.

So the estimate is a spreadsheet you copied from your old boss. The schedule is in your head. The change order was a text message. The client asks a reasonable question and you can't answer it quickly, and you can feel how that looks.

That last part is the one that stings. You are not disorganized. You just never got handed the system, because nobody hands it to anybody.

“The first house I built was for my grandma. My goal was to build the best house possible, and it was all about the construction.

As my company grew, I learned the building was only part of it. The management is what caught us: building all day, then spreadsheets, emails, pricing and bids all night. It’s a loop you don’t get out of without real systems.

That’s why I built BOS.build: to put systems under the whole job, so we could build all day and spend our evenings with family and friends.”

So we hand it to you.

BOS opens with a working homebuilder's set-up already in it — his cost codes, his estimate and schedule templates, and a full set of contracts, change orders and invoices. You aren't inventing any of it from scratch.

Add your logo, your company details and your contacts, and start your own job the same day.

You are not starting from a blank screen, on your own, at eleven at night.

BOS schedule templates ready to use: design-build, single-family, multi-family, commercial tenant improvement and custom luxury, with the design-build template's milestones and tasks openA BOS schedule template opened on a phone: design-build milestones, and the frame-to-sheetrock tasks with the trade and days for each

What's already in there.

A working builder's cost codes

Not a blank list waiting for you to invent one. 261 codes a real homebuilding company runs on, already sorted into sections.

Estimate templates

Six of them — new homes, remodels, additions, and NAHB and CSI layouts. You put your prices in; you don't start from an empty sheet.

Schedule templates

Five of them — single-family, custom, design-build, multi-family and commercial. Pick one, set the start date, and the job has a schedule.

Your document set

Contracts, change orders, invoices, punch lists and daily reports. Add your logo and your company details and they're yours.

Look like you've done this for twenty years.

Your client can't tell how long you've been on your own. They can tell whether the change order looks like a contract or like a text message.

Every document comes out with your logo on it and the job's numbers already filled in. Your client gets their own way in to watch their house go up — progress, photos, their selections, their paperwork. The same thing a builder running forty houses a year would hand them.

One price, and growing doesn't cost more.

$199/month

When it's your own money, the last thing you need is software that charges you more the day you hire someone. Put your first employee on it, your first super, your whole crew — the bill doesn't move. No contracts, cancel whenever.
