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.

Common Questions

Your fire and life safety software questions, answered

How does BuildOps handle integration with my existing ERP (Sage, Viewpoint, etc.)?

BuildOps syncs with your ERP—Sage, Vista, QuickBooks, and more. Field data flows directly into job costing and payroll modules, so your books stay accurate without manual re-entry.

What is the typical implementation timeline for BuildOps?

Most commercial contractors are up and running in a matter of weeks, not months. The timeline depends on team size, existing systems, and how much data migration is involved. Your implementation team will tailor a project plan specific to your organization.

What can BuildOps do that's specifically useful for fire & life safety work?

BuildOps takes every complex and critical part of a fire and life safety service workflow and unifies it in a single system of action. From first quote to on-site compliance checklists to deficiency flagging, everything lives under the BuildOps umbrella, with information ready to access from every role in your business.

Our fire and life safety customers in particular love the unique and custom workflows you can build inside the platform that work for larger projects or critical compliance rules that have to be followed, unlike other solutions that treat a $1M project the same as a $2K service job.

Using BuildOps, our customer Certified Fire saw a 250% increase in profits, 4% monthly service billing increase, and a jump from 75% to 95% in service employee billable time. All thanks to BuildOps' data accessibility, unique workflows, and customer-first approach.

Why is BuildOps so great for commercial fire and life safety teams?

BuildOps was built from the ground up for commercial teams, so our features are already in place to support long-term, multi-site, big crew fire and life safety jobs and projects rather than having features tacked on to a one-size-fits-all solution.We don't think one size fits all when it comes to fire and life safety work, so we made BuildOps knowing what teams with complex fire and life safety projects need.

Is the platform's AI (OpsAI) ready for use now?

Yes. OpsAI is live — writing invoice summaries, recapping tech visits, and helping dispatchers match the right tech to every job. It works inside your existing workflows, not on top of them.
