The Problem

Most contractors find out they lost money after the job is done.

1 in 4 contractors finishes the year with no profit.

BuildPulse customers see margin risk 3+ weeks before job close.

Most job costing happens in spreadsheets, updated after the fact.

BuildPulse forecasts profit in real time, as costs hit the job.

Capacity and cash flow are tracked in someone's head, not a system.

BuildPulse shows exactly how many projects you need to hit your monthly goal.

The platform

One platform for the whole renovation — demand and delivery.

BuildPulse joins the homeowner side (AI estimating, design and quotes) with the contractor side (profit, capacity and cash flow) in a single account and a single database.

Why BuildPulse

What makes it different from anything else you've tried.

Forward-looking, not a rear-view mirror

Accounting tools tell you what happened. BuildPulse forecasts margin, capacity and cash before the job closes.

Homeowners and contractors on one rail

An AI estimate becomes a quote request, then a live project — no re-typing, no lost context, no third-party lead broker.

AI that does real work

Cost estimating, room visualisation, ROI analysis and an advisor that explains what to change this month.

Built for local market reality

Canadian pricing, provinces, taxes and bilingual interface — not a US template with a currency switch.

One database, zero double entry

Projects, costs, quotes, reviews and billing share the same source of truth, so every number reconciles.

Priced for small and mid-size crews

Full access trial, no credit card, and plans that cost a fraction of an ERP implementation.

Comparison

Built different from day one.
