As a custom builder, communication with your clients is absolutely crucial. And there’s a lot of it. There’s a lot of communication and paperwork in general – approving changes, notifying of delays, checking the weather, tracking purchase orders, the list goes on. Do you spend a lot of time handling these details? Do any ever fall through the cracks – annoying you, your workers, or your home buyers? Then Co-Construct’s builder software is really going to help.

The concept behind their program is have a software designed exclusively for the custom builder and remodeler that enables easy and instantaneous communication between all parties. For instance, their selection sheet is perfect for keeping selection decisions organized and clear. Each of the custom homes you’re building will have it’s own sheet containing color-coded choices. Organize, add, and delete deadlines, links, attachments, allowances, and a log of changes.

You can reuse and customize selections from previous projects or create new ones on the fly. Organize with your own custom categories (like faucets, paint, or trim) and allow your client to type in their own choice or select from a list given. You can add links and tips to show a client their options and offer your own advise. They’re able to immediately review and choose every feature being organized. That means prompt service for them and easy control for you.

The color-coding in the schedule means that no one forgets a deadline. And comments keep everyone’s notes together so that everyone stays informed (without the over-emailing). Keeping a budget in mind? Track allowance overages as they happen and assign to change orders if needed. That way you’re both assured of financial responsibility.

And in fact, there’s a whole additional section for tracking change orders and expenses. Create change orders from over-budget selection items or other changes, which are then approved online by you and the client. A running total shows them exactly where the budgets tands. That’s a real-time bottom line tally! That level of trust and customer service is going to have a big positive impact on your relationship.

Create change orders from a selection or scratch, starting with the contract price or the budget on cost-plus jobs. With the list readily available, click on any to view the details and approve them. Calculate markups as needed. You can even use PayPal to be paid online and track payments.

And these features are just two out of the many the program offers. With it’s easy  to use interface and multiplicity of features, you can see why Spencer Padgett of Arrisbrook Builders said that “This saves me $50,000 a year […] Plus, we use it with our prospects and we close 95% of the homes we go after. Clients love it.” Interested? Contact co-construct for a free demo!

It’s no secret that, as far as social media goes, Facebook is one of the kings of the industry. With other big players like Twitter, FourSquare, and Pinterest, Facebook can be an excellent marketing tool—if it’s used correctly. Paired with home builder software, social networks can bolster business. Companies around the world have learned how to put Facebook to work for them, but so many others seem to have trouble figuring out how to put the site to work for them. How do you use Facebook as a custom home builder?

Now that Facebook has introduced an entirely new format, that of the timeline, companies have to re-learn everything they knew about using Facebook as a marketing tool. The good news is, however, that it turns out timeline is an excellent format for custom home builders on Facebook.

Timeline transforms Facebook pages from personal profiles to miniature websites. This means that businesses are able to craft appealing, well-designed pages within the social network of Facebook. From selecting bold, brand-defining cover photos and having the ability to highlight particular material, companies who stay in tune with Facebook will soon discover how much timeline has to offer.

Here are some other perks in the timeline design that you will find very beneficial to your marketing model:

1. The tool that allows you to pin to the top of your Facebook pages makes it so that you are no longer at the mercy of chronology. Now, instead of having to load down your page with the same update time and time again to keep your viewers in the loop, you can choose which information appears at the top of your page. Important content will no longer fall by the wayside. Builder can choose which posts and information is seen first, instead of relying on the unshakeable structures that were in place before.
2. The timeline designs allows builders easy access to apps and custom button images, which help to wrap everything up in a more simple way.
3. Milestone posts have been introduced, which allow builders to mark important dates in company history. This helps to give viewers a more comprehensive idea of the company as an entity, building that ever-important personal touch that is necessary for effective outreach.

The whole reason that timeline even exists is that Facebook sensed a need for users to be more easily able to relate their histories and stories to the world. Now, instead of a cold and formal-looking profile, businesses are able to create pages that showcase the personality and appeal of their companies.

Leads that have been garnered through home builder software can now peruse these entire new pages of material that is engaging both visually and emotionally. To purchase your home builder software today and start building your network, visit Lasso.
