Case Study: Sidar Builders achieves streamlined communication and scalable growth with Buildertrend

Communication Is Key to the Continued Growth of This Production Home Builder Amid a Very Busy and Uncertain Housing Climate

Sidar Builders, a production home builder in Tyler, Texas founded in 2017, needed a single system to sustain growth as they started roughly one new house per week. After struggling with piecemeal software, co‑founders Jimmy and David selected Buildertrend as a one‑stop communication hub to manage projects, trades and client touchpoints across their entry‑level home builds.

Buildertrend’s construction management software — including Schedule, Daily Logs, Customer Portal, Messages, Files and financial tools — was rolled out across the team (they report using about 83% of Buildertrend’s features). By requiring subcontractors to interact and submit invoices through Buildertrend and using weekly photos and integrated schedules, Sidar Builders eliminated guesswork, kept documentation current, improved field efficiency and sustained their build cadence, enabling them to scale the business and communicate more effectively with clients and trades.
