Run every job from one place — without the enterprise price tag

Copperleaf Build gives the trades — framers, electricians, plumbers, drywallers, GCs and every crew in between — everything the big platforms charge a fortune for: scheduling, time, daily logs, receipts, invoicing and a client portal. Unlimited users on every plan, so it costs the same whether you're two people or twenty.

What you get

Less time on paperwork. More time on the tools.

Every feature earns its place by saving your crew real time. Here's what that looks like.

Snap the receipt. We read it.

Standing at the lumber yard with a fistful of receipts? Tap Snap receipt in the Finances tab, take a photo, and the app's OCR reads the vendor, total and the tax you paid — and fills the expense out for you.

  • Vendor, amount and sales tax captured automatically
  • No more shoebox of receipts to key in at month-end
  • Right from your phone, on site, in seconds

Settings · Calendar sync
Calendar sync settings with Apple, Google and Outlook subscribe links

Your whole schedule, in the calendar you already use

Subscribe your company schedule into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook once, and every job and phase shows up alongside the rest of your day — and stays current on its own.

  • One link works on iPhone, Android and desktop
  • The whole crew can subscribe — everyone sees the plan
  • Refreshes automatically as the schedule changes

One-way sync — your calendar mirrors Copperleaf Build's schedule so it's always up to date.

Switch over in an afternoon, not a weekend

Bring your suppliers, subs and clients with you. Upload a CSV or Excel file and Copperleaf Build imports your whole contact list at once — it even recognizes QuickBooks customer and vendor exports automatically.

  • Download a ready-made template, or use your own file
  • Up to 500 contacts in one upload
  • QuickBooks exports recognized automatically

Daily logs
AI-written daily progress report ready to send to the client

AI-written daily reports — sent to your client in one tap

Your crew jots a few quick notes on site. Copperleaf Build turns them into a clear, professional progress update on your branding — and sends it straight to the client's inbox.

  • Rough site notes become a polished, client-ready report
  • Attach jobsite photos taken right from a phone
  • Cuts the "what's happening on my job?" phone calls
The client portal

Give clients a window into their job — you decide how big

Impress clients with a professional, always-on view of their project — while you stay in complete control of what they can and can't see.

Share exactly what you want, per job

Generate a secure link for each project that your client opens in any browser — no login, no account, nothing to install. Flip on only what you want them to see, and revoke the link any time.

Daily logs Photos Schedule Budget summary
  • Keep your margins and costs private — show progress, not profit
  • No client logins to manage or reset
  • Turn a link off the moment a job wraps

Why Copperleaf Build

All the software you need — none of the enterprise baggage

The big platforms bury small and growing contractors in per-seat fees, five-figure onboarding and features you'll never touch. Copperleaf Build gives you the tools that matter, priced so your whole company can use them.

Fair pricing that scales with you

Plans start at $39/month with unlimited users — no five-figure onboarding, no per-seat surprises. You pay for the software, not for every person who logs in.

Unlimited users — no per-seat fees

Add your whole crew, your subs, your office help. Everyone gets access. You never pay more for adding another team member — crew or office.

We actually listen

Don't like something? Email us. If it makes sense, we build it, repackage it, and ship it. Being small and fast is the whole point — try getting that from the big guys.

A licensed builder's template library

Pro and Business plans include ready-to-use contracts, checklists and proposals built by a contractor with 30 years on the tools — bundled right into the app.

Built by a contractor, for contractors

I'm a licensed builder with 30 years on the tools, and I built Copperleaf Build because the software out there was either priced for big general contractors, or too stripped-down and clunky to run a real business on.

So I built the one I wanted: powerful enough to run every job, priced so the whole team can use it, and quick enough to learn that nobody on the crew fights it. If something's missing or in your way, email me — if it makes sense, we build it. That's a promise you won't get from the big platforms.

The Copperleaf promise

Missing something? Tell us — we'll build it.

The big platforms make you wait years for changes. We're small enough to listen: email us what your business needs and, if it makes sense, we build it, repackage it, and ship it. That responsiveness is the whole reason Copperleaf Build exists.

FAQ

Common questions

Is there really no per-user fee?

Correct. Every plan includes unlimited users. Add your full crew, subs and office staff without your bill going up.

How does the snap-receipt feature work?

On the Finances tab, tap Snap receipt and photograph the receipt. The app reads the vendor, total and tax you paid and pre-fills the expense for you — so you can capture costs on site instead of keying them in later. Always give it a quick glance before saving.

Does the calendar sync go both ways?

It's one-way for now: you subscribe your Copperleaf Build schedule into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook and it stays up to date automatically. Changes are made in Copperleaf Build and flow out to your calendar.

Can my clients really see the project without an account?

Yes. You generate a secure link per job and choose exactly what it shows — daily logs, photos, schedule and/or a budget summary. Your client opens it in any browser, no login required, and you can revoke it any time.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No long-term contract. Pay monthly or annually, and cancel anytime from your billing page. Annual plans get a month free.

What if it's not for me?

There's no free trial to fuss with — instead, every plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not the right fit within your first 30 days, we'll refund your payment.

How does billing work?

Choose a plan and check out securely with Stripe using any major credit card — your account activates within seconds, no waiting on an invoice. Any applicable sales tax is calculated automatically at checkout based on your billing location. You can update your card, view invoices, or cancel anytime from your billing portal. Stripe processes the payment; we never see or store your card details.

Is my data safe and private?

Yes — see the Privacy & Security section below. Your data is encrypted, kept strictly separate from every other company, and you control exactly what each crew member can see.

Privacy & Security

Your business data is yours — and we protect it

We know you're trusting us with your jobs, your crew and your customers' information. We take that seriously, and we build the app to keep it safe and private.

Encrypted, end to end All traffic runs over secure HTTPS, and sensitive credentials and integration tokens are encrypted where they're stored.
Your company, walled off Each company's data is strictly isolated. Another business using Copperleaf Build can never see your projects, photos, finances or crew.
You decide who sees what Role-based access lets you switch tabs like Finances on or off per crew member — so labourers see their hours, not your margins.
Reviewed on a schedule We run regular in-depth security reviews of the app and fix what we find — and we keep our privacy practices current under Canada's PIPEDA and BC privacy law, as well as U.S. state privacy laws like the CCPA.
