Case Study: Haven Builders achieves in‑house design control and streamlined project management with Buildertrend

Bringing the Entire Design Process in House With Buildertrend

Haven Builders, a Saskatoon–based custom home designer and builder with an eight‑person team, needed an all‑in‑one platform to manage its in‑house building, drafting and interior design services. To streamline complex, detail‑heavy projects and keep clients involved throughout long timelines, Haven Builders adopted Buildertrend and relies on core features such as Scheduling, Daily Logs, Change Orders and Messaging.

Buildertrend’s implementation—using schedule templates to create a new job in about three minutes, client‑accessible calendars, Daily Logs as a searchable project journal and centralized Messaging—gave Haven Builders one shared source of truth. The Change Orders tool helped them track costs and approvals (one recent job recorded 22 change orders), communications are consolidated for easy review (even used as legal records), and overall the vendor’s platform has reduced administrative friction, improved client engagement and scaled with the company as it grew.
