Homeowner Resources | Building Better Together: How JRT Uses Buildertrend to Keep You Connected

Communication is one of the most important parts of any construction project. Whether we’re remodeling a kitchen, completing a whole-home renovation, building an addition, or constructing a new home, keeping everyone informed helps the project move forward smoothly.

At James R. Taylor & Sons, we use Buildertrend as part of our project management process to help keep our team and our customers connected from start to finish.

What Is Buildertrend?

Buildertrend is a construction management platform designed to help builders, contractors, and homeowners stay organized throughout a project.

For our team at JRT, it gives us one central place to manage important project information, communicate with customers, coordinate schedules, share documents, track selections, and keep projects moving.

Instead of relying on scattered emails, paperwork, and phone calls, Buildertrend helps bring important project information together in one place.

How JRT Uses Buildertrend

Every project is different, but communication and organization are important on all of them. Buildertrend helps our team coordinate the many moving pieces that go into a successful construction project.

Through Buildertrend, we can:

• Communicate with customers and our project team
• Share project documents and important information
• Coordinate schedules and upcoming project activities
• Track selections and changes throughout the project
• Share photos and project updates
• Keep important conversations and information organized
• Help customers stay informed about the progress of their project

Construction involves a lot of moving parts. Materials need to be ordered, selections need to be made, subcontractors need to be coordinated, and different phases of a project need to happen in the right order.

Having these details organized helps our team stay on top of the project while giving our customers better visibility into what is happening.

Your Project, Your Information

One of the biggest benefits of Buildertrend is that it gives our customers access to information about their own project.

Customers can log into their Buildertrend portal from a computer, tablet, or smartphone to stay connected with their project.

Depending on the project, you may be able to use Buildertrend to:

• Communicate with your JRT team
• Review project information and documents
• Follow your project schedule
• Review selections and changes
• View project photos and updates
• Keep track of important project details

Our goal isn’t to replace personal communication. We believe relationships and communication are at the heart of what we do. Buildertrend simply gives us another tool to make that communication more organized and accessible.

Keeping Your Construction Project Moving

A construction project doesn’t happen all at once. It happens through hundreds of decisions, conversations, deliveries, inspections, selections, and scheduled phases.

Buildertrend helps our team keep track of those details so we can focus on what matters most: building your project the right way.

Combined with our experienced project managers, designers, tradespeople, and office team, Buildertrend helps create a more connected experience for our customers.

A Better Way to Build Together

At James R. Taylor & Sons, we’ve been building and remodeling homes for generations. While construction has changed significantly over the years, our commitment to our customers hasn’t.

We believe homeowners should understand what is happening with their project and have access to the information they need throughout the process.

Buildertrend is one of the tools we use to make that possible.

From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, we’re here to build with you.
