Case Study: Cardinal Crest Homes improves client selections and budget transparency with Buildertrend

How this custom home builder uses Buildertrend’s construction management software to promote efficiency and create a unique client experience

Cardinal Crest Homes, a custom home builder in Kansas City, Missouri, needed a better way to manage project budgets, scheduling, file sharing, and constant client communication as the team grew. The company was relying on Excel and Google Sheets, which made it difficult to keep everything organized across architectural and interior design work.

Buildertrend provided Cardinal Crest Homes with its construction management software, especially the Selections feature, to centralize client choices, track budgets in real time, manage approvals, and streamline payment tracking. As a result, the team improved internal efficiency, reduced mistakes and rework, and delivered a more transparent client experience while building 18 to 20 homes per year, totaling more than $20 million in annual work.
