Small software renovations

At Buildertrend, we care about your feedback. Below are some of the items we’re working on that’ll impact several of our most-used features. These customer-driven updates will help improve your workflows and make your day run smoother.

Line item updates

• Single-select Cost Types: To support adding default markups or margins as well as future updates to defaults on Cost Types, we removed the multi-select option from Cost Types on line items. Cost Types are now single-select options only.

• Mark line items as Bids or Allowances: To support adding default markups or margins as well as future updates to defaults on Cost Types, we removed Bids and Allowances from the Cost Types section of line items. Bids and Allowances now have a Mark As option. This won’t affect the functionality to easily pull Cost Type line items into Bids or Allowances.

• Apply a default margin or markup to cost types: More effectively manage line items by setting a default markup or margin to cost types such as materials, labor and equipment. Once set, the markup or margin will be automatically applied to line items on new Estimates and Change Orders. This will save you time and ensure accurate cost management.
