Home renovation project management for owners and build teams

Task management built for renovation schedules

Assign every to-do to a person and a room, set due dates, and track status from planning through punch list. Tasks link directly to the plans, photos, and conversations that explain them, so nobody rebuilds context before starting work.

• Assign tasks to homeowners, architects, builders, designers, and trades
• Group work by floor and room so scope stays clear
• Due dates, priorities, and status roll up into a project timeline

Construction budget tracking against actuals

Build a three-level budget of groups, lines, and sub-lines, then log actual invoices against each line. Variance is calculated as you go, so you see an overrun in tile or cabinetry while there is still time to make a decision.

• Estimate versus actual variance at every level of the budget
• Log invoices and payments against the line they belong to
• Control which teammates can view budgets or log actuals

Change order tracking with a written trail

Renovations change. Capture each change where it happens — as a task, a plan markup, or a budget line — with the discussion, approval, and cost impact attached. When the invoice arrives, the history behind it is one click away.

• Tie a change to the room, plan page, and budget line it affects
• Keep the decision thread with the cost, not in someone's inbox
• See who asked, who approved, and when

Selections and inspiration in one place

Collect finishes, fixtures, and product references per room. Link Pinterest boards and pins, upload spec sheets, and let the team vote and comment so a selection is decided once instead of relitigated on site.

• Pinterest boards and pins linked to specific rooms
• Image galleries with comments and voting
• Spec sheets and cut sheets stored beside the selection

Document and file management for plans and contracts

Upload plans, permits, contracts, invoices, warranties, and site photos. Organize them by area and file type, browse them in an explorer-style tree, and relate an invoice back to the contract it belongs to.

• Explorer-style browsing by project area and document type
• Bundles that relate invoices, contracts, and revisions together
• In-browser viewing for PDFs, emails, images, and 3D models

Communication that stays with the work

Discuss decisions on the task, the file, or the plan page itself, with @mentions that notify the right person immediately. Everything else arrives as a single daily digest instead of a flood of texts and forwarded emails.

• Threaded conversations attached to tasks, files, and plan markups
• @mention notifications by email and SMS
• A daily summary of everything else you need to know

Owner-builder workflows

If you are running the job yourself, Home Build Control gives you the coordination layer a general contractor would otherwise provide: one schedule, one budget, one document set, and one place where every trade, designer, and inspector-facing document lives.

• Coordinate trades without a general contractor in the middle
• Keep permit and inspection documents organized by area
• Invite vendors to only the parts of the project they need

Frequently asked questions

Who is Home Build Control for?

Homeowners running a renovation or new build, owner-builders acting as their own general contractor, and the architects, builders, designers, and trades working with them.

Can I track my renovation budget against actual invoices?

Yes. You can build a budget of groups, lines, and sub-lines, log actual costs against each line, and see variance roll up across the whole project.

Do my contractors need to pay to join my project?

No. Pricing is per project and every plan includes unlimited team members, so you can invite your builder, architect, designer, and trades at no extra cost.
