Construction projects involve a lot of moving parts: multiple trades, tight deadlines, material deliveries, and shifting budgets. Coordinating all of these efficiently can be the difference between a smooth build and a costly delay.
Built Simple is construction software developed specifically to help builders, contractors, and site managers streamline how they manage jobs from start to finish. This article outlines exactly how Built Simple works for construction projects and why it may be the right fit for your business.
Built for the Way Construction Actually Works
Built Simple isn’t just another generic project tool. It’s purpose-built for the way things happen on real job sites, not in office boardrooms. Whether you’re managing one project or several, Built Simple helps you:
- Track job progress as it happens
- Keep your timelines on target
- Coordinate with your team easily
- Stay on top of budgets and expenses
It’s designed to cut through the noise and give you the information you actually need to run each project smoothly.
Key Features That Support Every Stage
Here’s how Built Simple fits into different parts of your workflow:
1. Construction Scheduling Software
Scheduling is at the heart of every successful build. Built Simple provides a clean, easy-to-use interface where you can:
- Create and move tasks using a drag-and-drop interface
- Allocate work to specific team members
- Adjust plans quickly when conditions on site change
- Check overall project status in one place
This makes it easier to avoid delays and keeps your projects moving in the right direction.
2. Construction Estimatings
Getting the job set up properly from the start prevents costly headaches later. Our all-in-one tools help you:
- Generate accurate estimates with our measuring and take-off tool
- Use built-in specification templates to map materials and quote based on your take-offs
- Review, adjust, and finalise your quote before locking in the contract
Everything you need for seamless estimating and quoting, from start to finish.
3. Job Site Collaboration Tools
Miscommunication causes delays. Built Simple gives your whole team a shared space to:
- Upload site photos and reports
- Log updates and instructions via notes
- Access key files and checklists
Everything’s in one place. No more back-and-forth across texts, emails, or paper.

Need visibility over who’s on-site and what they’re doing? Built Simple makes it easy to:
- Plan the week ahead with your team
- Get real-time updates and make adjustments on the fly
- Track progress without the need to micromanage
- Reconcile timesheets and generate reports, including cost tracking based on hourly rates
You stay in the loop without needing to chase anyone up.
5. Construction Progress Tracking Tools
Projects often shift, but you still need a clear view of what’s done and what’s next. Built Simple lets you:
- See completed milestones and upcoming work
