Managing Your Own Build Was the Right Call. Winging It Isn't.
Managing a construction project without the right tools is expensive, stressful, and completely avoidable. OwnerBuilt changes that.
Your Project Lives in 10 Different Places
Bids in your email. Budget in a spreadsheet. Permits on your phone. Contractor texts in three different threads. When your lender asks for a draw report, you're scrambling for hours.
Professional Software Is Built for Contractors — Not You
The tools that actually work cost $300–$2,000 per month and are designed for large crews managing multiple job sites. You're an owner-builder managing one project. You shouldn't need an enterprise subscription to stay organized.
One Mistake Can Cost Tens of Thousands
A missed inspection, a failed bid comparison, an untracked change order — without a system to catch these things, small oversights turn into expensive problems fast.
One App. Everything You Need.
Keep Your Entire Build In One Place.
OwnerBuilt organizes every part of your construction project — budget, schedule, subs, permits, inspections, daily logs, bids, change orders, and materials — in a single, clean dashboard. Every project is its own siloed workspace so nothing bleeds together.
Developed in the Field Over 15 Years
Every Tool You Need. Nothing You Don't.
This isn't software built in a boardroom. It's a system forged on real job sites, with real money on the line.
Budget & Costs
An 85+ line-item budget template built from real projects — import your existing spreadsheet or start from scratch. Identify hidden costs, track every dollar, and export a lender-ready draw report in one click.
Bids & Bid Comparison
Import bids, compare them side by side, accept the right one, and auto-populate your subcontractor roster — all without a single spreadsheet.
Schedule & Timeline
Build your full project schedule in a calendar view that shows where trades overlap. Phase-by-phase timeline with task-level tracking and color-coded trade bands.
Payment Tracking & Draw Schedules
Enter a payment once and it flows automatically to your subcontractor ledger, your budget's paid-to-date column, and your lender draw documentation. Define milestone-based draw schedules per contractor — your payment schedule doubles as your lender's draw report.
Subcontractor Management
Every sub, every bid, every payment, every note — one tab. Auto-populated from accepted bids. No double entry.
Daily Log & Site Photos
Photo-backed daily logs assigned to contractors, exportable as professional reports. Build an airtight paper trail that protects you if anything goes sideways.
Permits & Inspections
Store all permits in one place. Pre-loaded inspection checklists for every phase so you always know what's coming and never schedule a trade too early.
Change Order Management
Every scope change — logged, tracked, and documented before you agree to it. Stop verbal agreements from turning into budget surprises.
Issues & Punch List
Flag issues from your daily log, assign them to subs, and export a professional punch list report to send directly to your contractors.
Materials Calculator
Calculate materials room by room — OwnerBuilt totals quantities by material type so you can order accurately and avoid waste.
The Feature Your Lender Will Actually Care About
One Click. Professional Draw Report.
Zero Scrambling.
Every time your lender requests a draw, you need to prove your project is on track and the money is being spent correctly. That used to mean hours of reformatting spreadsheets and digging through emails.
With OwnerBuilt, you generate a complete, professional PDF report in one click — your full budget summary, draw history, payment tracking, and project documentation included. Formatted exactly the way banks, lenders, and title companies want to see it. No reformatting. No overnight panic. Just send it.
The Trusted Contractor Marketplace.
Real Subs. Real Recommendations.
Finding reliable subcontractors is the hardest part of any owner-builder project. OwnerBuilt is building something different. Every time a user recommends a subcontractor, that contractor is added to our growing community database. No paid listings. No SEO-optimized profiles. Just real contractors, vetted by real owner-builders who actually hired them, paid them, and lived with their work.
Early users who flag recommended subs inside the app today are helping seed the database the entire community will benefit from tomorrow.
"Be one of the first. Help us build the contractor network the owner-builder community has always needed."
