What makes Pro 3 different from Buildertrend?

Voice Capture Engine

Homeowners describe the project out loud. Pro 3 transcribes cabinet linear feet, countertop square footage, and flooring scope straight into the job file — no manual takeoff forms, no Buildertrend-style data entry.

Good · Better · Best Matrix

One set of measurements instantly produces three tiered proposals. Pro 3 locks gross margin between 35% and 45% so you never under-price a job accidentally.

6-Phase Production Flow

Demo → Mechanical → Paint → Cabinets → Countertops → Flooring. A 24-hour design countdown keeps every crew and partner in sync from handshake to final trim.

Clearance & Dispatch Safeguards

Appliance clearance checks prevent costly cabinet re-dos. Standard Residential dispatch is $175; Emergency Restoration dispatch is $375.

Pricing

Start at $129/mo. No annual contract required.

Buildertrend typically starts around $399 per month with an annual commitment. Pro 3 Solutions Plus is priced for small-to-mid-size kitchen & bath contractors who need specialized tooling without enterprise overhead.
