Case Study: Risinger Build achieves streamlined financial workflows and tighter change-order control with Buildertrend

How Buildertrend Became the Perfect Fit Project Management and Financial System for a Construction Trailblazer

Risinger Build, an Austin-based custom homebuilder and media company led by Matt Risinger, faced growing complexity as jobs got larger and their media business expanded. Their existing project-management software suffered from low adoption and lacked the financial controls they needed. In late 2017 they adopted Buildertrend (using features like Change Orders, Invoicing, the Customer Portal and 2-way QuickBooks sync) to address tight financial workflows and better manage high-end, long‑running projects.

Buildertrend gave Risinger Build a single system to create electronic change orders, collect payments online, generate line‑item invoices and sync data back to QuickBooks, cutting manual work and enabling a paperless, more transparent process. The result: reduced administrative effort while increasing profitability, the ability to manage 5–10 concurrent projects (many new homes $2M+), faster financial close‑outs via one‑click QuickBooks integration, strong uptime and remote access during COVID, and responsive vendor support from Buildertrend.
