Case Study: Spruce Homes achieves scalable growth and streamlined scheduling with Buildertrend

An all-in-one solution to support rapid growth

Spruce Homes, a fast-growing custom homebuilder and renovator in Saskatoon founded by Brad and Kaitlyn Blair, faced rapidly increasing demand that made coordinating multiple projects and subcontractors unmanageable using spreadsheets, email, and memory. To solve scheduling and project management gaps, Brad adopted Buildertrend in 2018, initially for its streamlined scheduling tools and contractor-facing calendar.

Buildertrend’s scheduling and later full platform adoption after attending Buildertrend University allowed Spruce Homes to integrate estimates, job costing, purchase orders, financials and the Client Portal into daily operations. By training the team and roughly 90% of contractors on Buildertrend, the six-person company eliminated manual data entry, improved customer visibility, and scaled from handling a few simultaneous projects to completing about 15–20 projects annually—benefits Brad credits directly to Buildertrend.
