BYLD · The platform

Run the job.
Protect the budget.

Pick your tools. One set of numbers. The schedule knows about the change order. The budget knows about the estimate. Owners see only what you choose to share.

I. Scheduling

Sequence the trades. Not the group text.

Every phase on one Gantt. Start from a template. iBYLD drafts changes and sub requests. You confirm.

  • Gantt view of every phase and trade
  • Schedules built from templates
  • Milestones the owner can follow
  • Sub requests, sent after you confirm

II. Budget & estimating

Know the margin before the framer does.

The estimate becomes the budget. Talk through the scope or send the plan set. Costs land against their lines.

  • Estimates that become the budget
  • Quick Capture estimates from voice and photos
  • AI estimates from plan PDFs, with sheet citations
  • Import from QuickBooks, Procore and more

III. Draws & invoices

Draws. Invoices. On the budget.

Set the draw schedule once. Invoice against it. Snap receipts and code them to the right line.

  • Draw schedules by phase
  • Invoices and draws in one place
  • Receipts by photo, coded to the line
  • Change orders tied to the budget

V. Plans & documents

One set of plans. The current one.

Plans, contracts, specs and photos live with the project, not in an inbox. Sheets sorted by discipline. Mark them up with pen, cloud, arrow, text, ruler and pin.

VI. The field

Built for the truck. Not the desk.

The phone is the primary interface. Capture works with no signal. They talk instead of type. One photo becomes a punch item.

  • Offline capture that syncs later
  • Voice to daily log and notes
  • Quick Capture: photo to punch item
  • iBYLD on the App Store

VII. The client

The story first. Then the number.

Owners get their own portal. It leads with what changed and what's next, in the PM's words. One amount due. One button. Never your markup math.
