Why Homeforce
Built around how custom home building businesses actually work.
The problems custom home building owners run into most — and how Homeforce handles each one.
- 01
Problem: Pre-construction lives in email threads and nobody knows which clients are close to contract.
With Homeforce: A pre-construction pipeline tracks each client from design through pricing, permits, and signed contract.
- 02
Problem: Allowance overages surface at the final walkthrough.
With Homeforce: Every selection is priced against its allowance as it's made, and overages become signed change orders right away.
- 03
Problem: One late sub pushes the whole schedule, and the client hears about it last.
With Homeforce: Phases and subs sit on a Gantt with dependencies, so a slip moves everything downstream and the client portal updates.
- 04
Problem: Draw requests take a day of spreadsheet work every month.
With Homeforce: Draws are built from percent complete by phase, with retainage and prior payments calculated for you.
How it works
A day in a custom home building business, on Homeforce.
From the first design meeting to the one-year warranty walkthrough, run every build on one schedule and one set of books.
Pipeline
See every build before it breaks ground.
Track prospective builds through design, pricing, permitting, and contract. Each card carries the estimated contract value and the next step, so nothing stalls between meetings.
Allowances
Every selection measured against its allowance.
Clients choose finishes from the portal or with your designer. Each selection shows its allowance, the chosen item's cost, and the difference — and overages flow into a change order for signature.
Phases & subs
One schedule for every phase and sub.
Lay out the build from foundation to final with dependencies and assigned subs. When framing slips, rough-ins and inspections shift with it, and subs see their updated dates.
Progress billing
Draw requests built from work in place.
Enter percent complete by phase and Homeforce calculates the draw, less retainage and previous payments. Attach photos and inspection results, then send it for approval.
Jobsite record
A daily record the client can see.
Superintendents log weather, crews and subs on site, work completed, and photos from their phones. Clients follow progress in the portal instead of calling for updates.

FAQ
Custom home builders software questions, answered.
Have a question we didn't cover? Book a demo and ask a product specialist.
Can Homeforce manage selections and allowances?
Yes. Set allowances by category, record each selection with its cost, and see the running difference. Overages can be turned into change orders for the client to sign.
Does it support draw schedules and retainage?
Yes. Draws are calculated from percent complete by phase, with retainage and prior payments applied automatically. You can attach photos and inspection results to each draw request.
Can subcontractors see their schedule?
Subs can be assigned to phases and notified when their dates change. The build schedule shows dependencies, so a slip in one phase moves everything that depends on it.
Which plan do custom builders need?
Projects, job costing, and inventory are included on Scale and up, which is where most builders start. Crew timesheets and payroll export come with every plan.
Can clients follow progress?
Yes. Clients can see daily log entries you share, selections, change orders, and draw requests in the customer portal, and approve or sign from there.
