About BuildStatus

I built BuildStatus because I got tired of the same text every week: "Hey, how's the kitchen going?" My clients weren't being annoying — they just had no way to see what was happening on their own project. So I'd stop what I was doing, take a photo, type out a reply, and get back to work. Multiply that by five clients and it's a real drain.

The fix was obvious: give clients a link they can check whenever they want. A status page — like the ones tech companies use for uptime, but for construction and renovation projects. The contractor posts an update when something meaningful happens. The client opens the link and sees exactly where things stand. No texts, no phone tag, no app to install.

How it works: You create a project in the dashboard, add a few details, and get a shareable link. When you finish a phase or hit a milestone, you post an update — a note, a photo, and a progress percentage. That's it. Your client opens the link and sees a clean, white page with the project name, a progress bar, and every update you've posted. No account needed on their end.

The public page is deliberately simple. No logins, no comment threads, no notifications. It's a one-way broadcast: you post, they read. Clients who want to discuss something can call or text you like they always do — but now they have context before they reach out.

BuildStatus is part of the Build ecosystem of free tools for contractors and independents: BuildInvoice, BuildChangeOrder, BuildQuotes, BuildTimesheet, BuildPDF, and BuildCertificates.
