Published pricing. Month-to-month. No quote calls.
Buildertrend is quote-based and annual-contract by default. Ormi is $1/job, capped at $400/mo, month-to-month. A 12-crew remodeling shop saves $6,468/year on Ormi — without giving up change orders, progress invoicing, or sub coordination.

What Buildertrend does better today
We'd rather you pick the right tool than switch and regret it.
Custom-home builder workflows
Selections management, rich Gantt scheduling, and owner-facing construction docs are deeper in Buildertrend. If ground-up custom builds are 80%+ of your work, weigh that heavily.
Implementation + training team
Buildertrend ships a dedicated implementation manager for onboarding. Ormi offers free white-glove migration but at the scale of a typical shop — not enterprise-grade rollout.
Industry-specific partnerships
NAHB + NARI + Remodelers Advantage partnerships and training content. If you lean on those associations heavily, weigh the ecosystem.
If custom-home builder workflows are your core, Buildertrend may still win. For remodelers, field service trades, and mixed-work contractors — the math tips strongly toward Ormi.
Why remodelers switch
Published, predictable pricing
Buildertrend hides pricing behind a sales call and adjusts by shop size. Ormi posts its price on the homepage — $1/job, capped at $400/mo, same for a 3-tech shop or a 30-tech shop.
Built for field service + remodeling, not just ground-up construction
Buildertrend leans heavy toward custom-home builders and big GCs. If you're a remodeling shop, service trade, or mixed-work contractor, Ormi fits your workflow without the overhead of construction-PM features you don't need.
No annual contract lock-in
Buildertrend defaults to annual agreements. Ormi is month-to-month, cancel any time, export your data whenever. Zero platform risk.
Setup in an afternoon, not a quarter
Buildertrend onboarding typically runs 4–8 weeks with a dedicated implementation manager. Ormi imports via CSV in under an hour. Most shops are live the same day they sign up.
Switch in an afternoon — no data left behind
Export from Buildertrend
Customers, jobs, invoices, and schedules export as CSV from Buildertrend Settings. Takes 20-30 minutes depending on shop size.
Import into Ormi
Our importer recognizes Buildertrend CSV shape. Field mapping is automatic; we flag any ambiguous fields for one-tap resolution.
Keep your sub + vendor network
Sub-contractor contacts, vendor records, and historical payment data carry over. QuickBooks and Stripe reconnect on day 1.

Buildertrend switcher questions
I'm a remodeling GC — does Ormi handle my workflow?
Yes. Change orders, progress invoicing, sub coordination, permit tracking, and multi-week project schedules are all first-class. See /for/remodeling for the full workflow. If you need deep custom-home selections management (Buildertrend's specialty), we have basic support today and ship improvements through 2026.
Is Buildertrend "just for construction" — or does it work for field service too?
Buildertrend is increasingly broad but still leans toward ground-up construction. If you run a mix (service + remodeling + installs), Ormi's workflow is closer to how you actually work day-to-day. If you're 100% custom-home ground-up, Buildertrend may still be the sharper fit.
We're mid-contract with Buildertrend. Switch now or wait?
Run the math: a 10-tech shop typically saves $8k-24k/year on Ormi vs Buildertrend's tiered pricing. If that exceeds your remaining contract obligation, switching pays for itself. Reach out via /contact-us for a confidential review.
What about Buildertrend Pay / financing integrations?
Ormi ships Stripe (built-in), ACH, on-site card swipe, and consumer financing via Wisetack and Synchrony. For payment-heavy shops, the essentials are covered; if you depend on a specific Buildertrend-only partner, flag it in a demo.
Does Ormi integrate with the tools we already use?
QuickBooks Online, Stripe, Google Business, Mailchimp, Zapier, and CallRail are all built in. Public API ships Q2 2026. For custom integrations, our Zapier connector covers most cases.
