Construction Sales Automation: Find the Projects, Reach the Decision Makers
Construction sales automation is software that does a trade's prospecting: it finds projects from building permits, works out when each trade is bought, finds the person who decides and sends the first messages. Builtie is construction sales automation, not a CRM, and it saves about 2 hours a day, around 60 hours a month of prospecting.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
The five steps it automates
| Step | What Builtie does |
|---|---|
| 1. Find | Building permits, read daily in 25 markets |
| 2. Time | Each project staged against each trade's award window |
| 3. Reach | The builder or general contractor, with a verified decision maker |
| 4. Send | LinkedIn and email sequences in your name (Growth) |
| 5. Follow up | When the build moves, not on a fixed timer |
Sales automation is not a CRM
A CRM stores the contacts and deals you already have; it does not find new ones. Sales automation starts earlier: from the permit, before anyone has your number. Most trades keep a CRM or a job-management tool for the work they win. Sales automation vs CRM for contractors
