Software built the way custom home builders actually work

Long builds, allowance-driven selections, draw schedules, and clients who want to see everything — handled in one system that also keeps real books.

Selections and allowances are the job

On a custom build, the margin lives and dies in selections. SelfConstruct makes every allowance visible to the client as they choose, requires confirmation, and records the decision — upgrade conversations happen before the order, not after the invoice.

Clients who feel informed don't call

A custom-home client checks in constantly — unless their portal already shows the week's schedule, fresh photos, what's been paid, and what needs their approval. Yours will tell their friends about the portal. That's the referral.

Draws, costs, and books in one place

Deposit-to-final draw invoicing, budget-vs-actual by cost code as the build runs, and a double-entry ledger underneath — so an 18-month build never drifts financially out of sight.

Questions builders ask

We build 2–6 homes a year. Is this overkill?

It's sized for exactly that. Flat pricing from $299/mo, unlimited users, and the demo company runs a fleet like yours — look around it first.

Can clients approve selections and COs themselves?

Yes — in their portal, with recorded confirmations and e-signatures. That paper trail is the point.

Does it replace our accounting software?

Yes — full double-entry books with statements and a CPA year-end package are built in.
