— Why we built this

Residential construction deserves software that actually fits.

Home builders deserve practical, user-friendly tools — not technology for its own sake. That belief drove Hill Dickerson and Mark Thompson to found BuilderPad, bringing together 20+ years in residential construction and 15+ years building B2B software.

We built BuilderPad through close relationships with hundreds of home builders, listening first and shipping second. Every feature addresses something real: a scheduling conflict that cost a builder a week, a selections conversation that happened over too many emails, a file that got lost between the office and the jobsite.

Our focus areas reflect what builders told us matters most: scheduling, selections, communication, file management, and jobsite documentation. We go deep on each one rather than spreading thin.

The result speaks for itself — 94% of BuilderPad users deliver their homes on-time and on-budget. That's the number we care about most.

— How we build

Four principles that run every product decision.

01

Ship for the field first

Every feature has to work on a phone, in a basement, with work gloves on. If a PM can't use it one-handed while the dryer is running, it doesn't ship.

02

AI earns its seat

We don't ship AI features to look smart. Every model has a job: save a PM ten minutes, catch an overbilled line, or move money off the to-do list.

03

Your books are sacred

BuilderPad is audit-trail-first. Every CO, every bill, every draw carries its receipts. Your accountant sees provenance on every number.

04

Humans run the shop, not us

We drive automation to the edge of the decision — and then stop. Approval is yours. Trust with subs, client relationships — that's your craft.
