Trusted by 1,500+ commercial contractors across North America
Planning that fits how you work
From spreadsheets to a real manpower plan
Cross-project clarity
See crew demand across every active project, and catch staffing conflicts early.
Phase-based planning
Assign crews by phase, skill, and cost code tied to your schedule and budget.
Forward-looking view
See what's coming 60–90 days out so you can hire, shift crews, or make the right call on a new bid.
Across every active project
Built for projects, not just dispatch
Service planning fills tomorrow's board. Project planning is a multi-month manpower exercise: crews by phase, cost code, and skill set across overlapping jobs. BuildOps was built for that complexity.
Multi-Project Manpower View
Request labor from any project plan. See requests, allocations, and gaps on one resource board so you balance crews across jobs without spreadsheets.
Gantt-to-Field Pipeline
Labor requests start in your project plan and flow to the resource board to keep planned hours tied to cost codes and budgets.
Cost-Code Alignment
Same cost codes across planning, timesheets, and reporting. Every hour lands in the right budget bucket.
From the PM to the field
One plan every role can trust
"We can access real-time information and know what manpower is available."
See crew availability and project needs without calling the office.
"If we were still on the legacy system we used at my old company, we'd already need another person. BuildOps gives us leverage. Full stop."
Scale the work without scaling headcount, plan crews across jobs from one board.
"Our margin dollars have improved just being able to keep a closer eye on everything."
Track labor against budget by phase and cost code before the job closes out.

What makes BuildOps different
Built from the ground up for contractors who run projects, service, and everything in between. Not adapted. Made for the work.
Commercial work isn't an add‑on
Most platforms started in residential and stretched to fit. BuildOps starts with the complexity of commercial work.
Run the work in one connected system
Field, office, finance, and sales — all in one place. No duct-taped tools, no double entry, no dropped balls.
OpsAI is built in, not bolted on
OpsAI is already in your workflows. It recaps the day, calls out risks, and gives every role a clear next step.
Total Platform Synergy
Workforce planning is just the start
Your labor plan doesn't live in a silo, it feeds project scheduling, daily reports, cost tracking, and WIP. When crews log time, the budget updates. When a product manager requests labor, the dispatch team sees it on the resource board.

Common Questions
Your questions on
field ops, answered
How is BuildOps resource planning different from a dispatch board or a GC scheduling tool?
Dispatch boards fill tomorrow's service calls. BuildOps resource planning handles multi-month crew assignments by phase, skill, and cost code across every active project, tied to your schedule, budget, and GC milestones
Can I plan service and project crews together?
Yes. BuildOps connects your service dispatch board and project resource planning board in one platform — so you see where every crew member is, whether on service calls or construction phases, without switching tools.
Does OpsAI help with resource planning?
OpsAI is built into BuildOps and helps cut repetitive admin across your projects. As your resource data gets cleaner and more centralized, OpsAI gets smarter so your team spends less time on busywork and more on staffing calls that protect margin.
How does resource planning connect to my project budget?
Every labor request ties to a phase and cost code. As crews log time, BuildOps tracks planned vs. actual hours so PMs and finance see labor cost performance live, not after the job closes out.
What ERPs does BuildOps integrate with?
BuildOps syncs field data (e.g. time, POs, invoicing) directly with most standard ERP's job costing and payroll modules. When data flows both ways, it keeps financials accurate without manual re-entry.
Can BuildOps handle both high-volume service and complex project staffing?
Yes. Service dispatch and project resource planning run from one platform. Techs, project crews, and shared people all appear in one view — giving ops full visibility into utilization, demand, and capacity across the business.
