How BuilderTrend Helps Us Deliver Seamless, Transparent Projects
By Ryan Malee
At Create Properties Ltd, we know that delivering high-quality renovations, extensions, and fit-outs isn’t just about craftsmanship—it’s about clear communication, detailed planning, and complete transparency. That’s why we use BuilderTrend, one of the most powerful project management tools in the construction industry.
But here’s the thing: software alone doesn’t guarantee a smooth project. It’s how you use it that makes the difference. Over the years, we’ve mastered BuilderTrend to ensure our clients experience a stress-free, well-managed build where they’re always in the loop.
My TOP-TIP: “Software is only as good as the people using it, if you want to maximise your project success, ensure everyone associated with the project uses the safe software.”
What is BuilderTrend?
BuilderTrend is a cloud-based project management platform designed specifically for construction professionals. It brings every aspect of a project together in one place—scheduling, budgeting, communication, document sharing, and real-time progress tracking. For us, it’s more than just a tool; it’s a system that allows us to run projects with absolute efficiency while keeping our clients informed at every stage.

How We Use BuilderTrend to Keep You in Safe Hands
1. Real-Time Project Updates – No More Guesswork
One of the biggest frustrations homeowners face during a renovation is feeling left in the dark. With BuilderTrend, that never happens. We provide:
- Live project timelines so you can see exactly what’s happening and what’s coming next
- Daily updates with photos and progress reports
- Instant notifications if there are any changes or decisions to be made
Instead of waiting for calls or emails, you’ll always have real-time access to your project, ensuring complete transparency from start to finish.
The Catch: Its only as good as the user, it takes two to tango so both Create and Clients need to use it, we have our very own dedicated BuilderTrend Queen to help and communicate with clients.
2. Seamless Communication – Everything in One Place
A successful project isn’t just about the build—it’s about the relationship between client and contractor. Over the years, we’ve built strong partnerships with our clients by ensuring clear, honest communication at every stage.
BuilderTrend allows us to centralise all project communication, so there’s no need to search through old emails or missed calls. You’ll have:
- Direct messaging with our team
- A full history of conversations and approvals
- Quick responses to any queries or concerns
This means you’re never left wondering what’s happening—we’re always just a message away.
3. Budgeting & Variations – Full Financial Transparency
We understand that budget concerns can be one of the most stressful parts of a renovation. That’s why we use BuilderTrend to ensure complete transparency when it comes to costs.
- Live budget tracking so you can see where every penny is going
- Instant quotes and change orders for any additional work
- Clear breakdowns of costs so there are no unexpected surprises
This level of financial clarity gives you total peace of mind, knowing that your project is running within budget and that any variations are fully explained before work begins.
4. Streamlined Scheduling – Keeping Your Project on Track
One of the biggest challenges in construction is keeping everything on schedule. With BuilderTrend, we can efficiently coordinate every stage of the build:
- Live scheduling updates that adjust in real time
- Subcontractor coordination to ensure all trades are working in sync
- Early problem detection to avoid delays before they happen
This means we can keep your project moving smoothly while ensuring that every stage is completed to our exacting standards.
5. Document & Warranty Management – Everything You Need, All in One Place
Once your project is complete, our relationship doesn’t just end. BuilderTrend allows us to store all essential documents, warranties, and certificates in one place, giving you easy access whenever you need them.
- All plans, drawings, and approvals stored securely
- Warranty details and maintenance guides for future reference
- Final project reports so you have a full record of the work completed
This ensures that even after the final touches are in place, you have everything you need for the future.
