Build OS — Real Estate Development, Construction Management & Project Hiring Platform
One operating system for real estate development, construction management, and project hiring.
Build OS addresses a structural problem in real estate development and construction: the core operational functions — deal pipeline, entitlement tracking, construction management, subcontractor coordination, and project hiring — run in disconnected tools that require constant manual synchronization. Build OS is a unified operational platform that creates a single system of record across these functions. Real estate teams manage acquisition pipelines, due diligence checklists, and entitlement timelines. Construction teams manage project schedules, budget variance, RFIs, submittals, and subcontractor performance. HR and project teams manage worker onboarding, credential verification, labor compliance, and position requisitions tied directly to project phases. The system is designed for vertically integrated developers, general contractors, and owner's representatives who operate multiple projects simultaneously and need operational visibility across the full development lifecycle.

Enterprise Feature Stack
Unified Deal-to-Certificate Pipeline
Track a project from initial land acquisition through closing, entitlement, design, permitting, construction, and certificate of occupancy in a single pipeline — with phase gates, task owners, and document checkpoints at each stage.
Construction Budget & Cost Controls
Manage original contract values, approved change orders, pending change orders, and cost-to-complete projections in real time. Budget variance is surfaced at the line-item, trade, and project level with drill-down access.
RFI and Submittal Workflow
Formal RFI and submittal workflows route items to the responsible party with deadline tracking and escalation rules. Response history and design clarifications are stored against the project record for dispute resolution.
Subcontractor Bid Management
Issue bid invitations, manage scope leveling, track bid responses, and award subcontracts from within the system. Awarded contracts flow directly into budget and schedule modules without re-entry.
Project-Linked Hiring
Position requisitions are created against specific project phases and budget line items. Hiring pipelines for field supervisors, project engineers, and trade workers are managed within the system with project start-date alignment.
Worker Credential & Compliance Verification
Track required certifications, licenses, safety training, and union compliance for all workers on a project. Expiration alerts and project-level compliance dashboards help GCs and owners meet contractual and regulatory requirements.
Investor & Ownership Reporting
Generate scheduled or on-demand reports for investors, lenders, and ownership groups including budget status, schedule milestones, draw requests, and project photos — formatted for external distribution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Build OS different from Procore or Buildertrend?
Construction-only tools like Procore do not cover real estate acquisition, entitlement management, or project-based hiring. Build OS spans the full development lifecycle — from land sourcing through construction close-out and workforce management — in one connected system.
Can it handle both residential and commercial construction projects?
Yes. Project templates, budget structures, and compliance requirements are configurable per project type. Mixed-use and multi-phase developments are supported with phase-level controls.
How does the hiring module connect to construction scheduling?
Position requisitions are tied to project phases in the construction schedule. As mobilization dates approach, the system surfaces open positions and tracks candidate progress relative to the start date requirement.
Can we use Build OS for multiple entities or project owners?
The platform supports multi-entity configurations for development organizations with multiple LLCs or joint ventures. Project access, financial visibility, and reporting can be scoped per entity.
What does investor reporting look like?
Reports are generated from live project data with configurable templates for each investor or lender. Draw request packages, budget-to-actual summaries, schedule narratives, and photo documentation are compiled automatically.
How is worker credential compliance enforced?
Required credentials are configured per project or per trade. The system tracks expiration dates, sends renewal alerts, and flags non-compliant workers before they are assigned to a project. Compliance status is visible at the project level for owner and GC review.
