Case Study: High Street Homes achieves streamlined estimating and scheduling, saving time and money with Buildertrend

How Buildertrend’s Powerful Tools Make Construction Estimating Easy and Simplify Project Scheduling

High Street Homes, a custom home builder in Fort Worth, Texas run by Brett and Kara Phillips, faced a scattered, inefficient workflow—tracking bids and cash flow in Google Sheets—until they adopted Buildertrend’s custom homebuilder software (notably Proposals and Scheduling) after hiring a full-time project manager. They needed a single system to streamline estimating, scheduling and team communication so larger projects wouldn’t overwhelm their small team.

Buildertrend was implemented across Estimates, Proposals, Budgets, Scheduling, Daily Logs, To-Do’s and a Cost Catalog (with QuickBooks sync), giving the project manager a central place to run jobs. The result: significant time savings, protected margins by adding cost items (saving them thousands of dollars), faster proposals, the ability to close more deals and take on more projects, and freed-up capacity for business growth—thanks to Buildertrend.
