Frequently asked questions

How do construction companies find clients?

From building permits, bid lists and repeat builders; permits show the most projects earliest.

Is Builtie a CRM?

No. A CRM stores the contacts and deals you already have. Builtie is sales automation: it finds the projects from building permits, times each one to your trade's award window, finds the decision maker and runs the LinkedIn and email outreach. Most customers keep their CRM or job-management tool for the work they win.
