> Who it's for&#10;&#10;BuildMind is for residential builders, general contractors, and trades running cost-plus, management-fee, or fixed-price jobs — the people personally on the hook for the budget, where one project can run from a few hundred thousand to well over a million.&#10;&#10;The problem it solves&#10;&#10;The hard question isn't "did this one go over?" It's "which line is bleeding, and I can't tell until month-end." By the time the numbers are finally pulled together, it's too late to act. BuildMind closes that gap with a real-time cost picture on every project.&#10;&#10;How it works, day to day&#10;&#10;Anyone who spends — your crew, your office, or an invited supplier — snaps a photo of a receipt or invoice the moment it happens. BuildMind's AI reads the vendor, amount, and tax and suggests the right budget line using standard construction cost codes. You review and confirm. The instant you approve it, you see its impact on that line and on the project's committed cost — paid and still-owed (accounts payable) together on one live budget bar. A line crossing its limit shows up right then, in red, not four weeks later.&#10;&#10;Built for two kinds of operator&#10;&#10;Builders and GCs working cost-plus or on a management fee get owner-ready cost records, so you can show exactly where the money sits without a month-end scramble.&#10;&#10;Trades on fixed-price scopes get early warning when a line starts eating the margin, while there's still time to do something about it.&#10;&#10;Keeping the back office clean&#10;&#10;Match invoices to payments, mark payments cleared against your bank statement, and track reimbursements and refunds. When the books are due, one tap exports a bookkeeping-ready CSV with QuickBooks-ready columns, plus a zip of the original receipt images renamed to a consistent format your accountant can work with.&#10;&#10;What BuildMind is not&#10;&#10;BuildMind is a job-costing tool, not a construction management suite and not an accounting system. There is no direct accounting integration and no two-way sync — data leaves as CSV export only. There is no bank feed, no client or owner portal, no change order workflow (no owner approval routing or e-signature), no scheduling, no site logs, no safety checklists, and no estimating. Project work runs in the iOS app; there is no Android app and no web app for project work. Not affiliated with any other company using the name BuildMind.&#10;&#10;Support&#10;&#10;BuildMind is built and supported in Vancouver, BC by BuildMind Canada Technologies Ltd. Sign up on the web at buildmind360.ai, then download the iOS app and log in. It works for a single project too — but it earns its keep when you're running several at once.
