A Demo of HomeBuilder –
Managing a residential construction business means juggling dozens of moving parts—from tracking budgets and vendor contracts to keeping homebuyers informed and ensuring inspections happen on time. This 14-minute demo walks you through how HomeBuilder brings all those pieces together in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Here’s what you’ll see:
Quick access to what matters most.
HomeBuilder puts 80% of the information you need right at your fingertips. Click on any lot and you’ll instantly see house areas, contacts, sales logs, and selection packages—no digging through multiple screens.
Financial tracking that connects to operations.
Watch how budgets flow from models to planned costs, then see how purchase invoices connect directly to what’s happening on the ground. When your site supervisor marks tasks complete, your accounting team can process vendor invoices with just a few clicks.
Construction timelines you can actually use.
View your project schedule as a Gantt chart, a calendar, or an Excel export that shows you exactly which tasks are on time, running late, or approaching deadlines. You’ll see how to track progress across individual lots or get a high-level view of your entire phase.
Homebuyer and vendor portals that save you time.
Share photos, publish updates, and manage color chart selections—all in one place. Your homebuyers can request service calls directly through their portal, while your trades access work orders and documentation through theirs.
The features that keep projects moving.
From color chart selections with real-time pricing to mobile-friendly inspection checklists, you’ll see how HomeBuilder handles the daily details that can slow down your closings.
Whether you’re building 50 homes a year or 500, this demo shows you how HomeBuilder turns Business Central into a residential construction command center that works the way you do.
