Construction software for California residential GCs

See your margin while the job is still running.

Baxie tracks estimates against actuals on every job. When a line item starts eating profit, you know that week, not at closeout.

Founding cohort closes October 31, capped per county.

Founding user pricing. Capped per county so every GC gets set up right. Enroll by October 31, then your price never moves.
Construction software for California residential GCs

Built for residential. Not for commercial.

  • Built for California general contractors.
    Not for tilt-ups or warehouses.
  • Built for GCs running on 3+ apps, a spreadsheet, or vibes.
    Not for $50M commercial shops on Procore.
  • Built for owners running 3+ jobs with no system of record for profit.
    Not for crews running one project at a time.
  • Built for California.
    Not yet open outside it.
The pain that costs you money

You priced the margin. Then the job ate it.

Where residential GCs leak money every week.

01

No one can tell you if the job is making money.

Your CRM is one app. The schedule lives in another. Costs are in a spreadsheet, or in your head. Ask what the job is making and you get three different answers. Some weeks you cannot tell profit from markup from margin. Baxie becomes the one place the numbers live.

02

Existing conditions blow the budget.

You open the wall and find knob-and-tube. Or settled framing. Or asbestos. The contingency line was a guess, and now it's an argument. Half the cost of a remodel is what you find behind the walls.

03

Your PM caps at two jobs.

Past two active jobs, the daily logs and sub invoices stop getting watched. Cost overruns show up at month-end accounting, not week three when the framer asks for more money. You hire another PM, or you stop scaling.

04

Change orders sit in your inbox.

The client asks for one more thing. The crew does it. The paperwork follows three days later, if it follows at all. You eat the scope every time.

Lead magnet

Start with the margin leak checklist.

12 margin leaks we see on California residential jobs. 2-page PDF, free, no commitment.

What you actually get

Estimate versus actual, on every job. So margin can't leak quietly.

Built for the way you already run jobs. First estimate inside week one. No implementation team. No software class to take.

Upload the architect's PDF. Baxie pulls the takeoff and drafts the estimate. Accept the estimate and the schedule builds itself. Your daily logs feed the budget. Variance surfaces before it becomes a fight. Office and field work the same job.

One PM, four to six jobs at once. Not two.

Other tools stop at the estimate. Baxie tracks it against actuals through closeout, and it's built to get sharper with every job you finish.

Built on your jobs only. Not a benchmark from everyone else's.

Proactive by default

Baxie watches the jobs. You don't have to ask.

Most software waits for you to log in. Most AI waits for you to type. Baxie sends you the margin call before you knew to look.

Margin drift

Before the next sub bid lands.

Framing is trending over the estimate by more than 10%. Look at job 2147 today, not at month-end.

COI about to lapse

Before the sub shows up uncovered.

Pacific Solar's certificate of insurance expires in 12 days. Renew it now or they don't pour Monday.

Material delivery slipping

Before the crew arrives to nothing.

Windows for job 1893 were due Tuesday. Still not on site. The framers are scheduled Thursday.

Alerts hit your phone. The job ID is right there. You set your margin threshold once, Baxie watches every job against it.

What it looks like

The product, in four moves.

Each step closes the loop. Field feeds office. Office feeds the next estimate.

01 · Estimating

Drop in the plans. Get a priced estimate the same day.

Upload the architect's PDF. Baxie pulls quantities by assembly and drafts the line items with California pricing. You review the numbers and send.

No spreadsheet rebuild on every job. No re-keying takeoff into your bid template.

  • Rough estimate before plans. Full estimate when plans land. One flow either way.
  • Margin watched live as you adjust line items
  • Send the proposal from the same screen

02 · Scheduling

Accept the estimate, the schedule builds itself.

The Gantt populates with phases and dependencies pulled from the accepted estimate. Adjust the dates. Lock the calendar. Send it to the client portal.

Subs get a portal link. No accounts. No login wall.

  • Phase dependencies stay in sync when you slip a date
  • Crew callouts ride the schedule, not your inbox
  • Client sees the same milestones you see

Budget that warns you, not your accountant.

Daily logs and sub invoices post against the estimated baseline in real time. Material orders too. Your PMs see the burn the day it happens.

Variance gets surfaced in the same screen the estimate lives on. No CFO escalation needed.

  • Categories flagged when variance crosses your threshold
  • Estimate vs actual vs forecast, one screen
  • Sub and supplier invoices match against POs

Photos and crew time, straight to the office.

PMs log photos and crew hours from the field in one tap. Notes thread to the right scope and the right job.

The office sees what happened today. Not what someone remembered to write up Friday.

  • Photos auto-tagged to scope, not buried in iCloud
  • Crew hours flow to the budget as labor actuals
  • Weather and inspections logged in the same flow

If you've tried the others

You bounced off the others. Here's why.

Most construction software was built for a band you're not in.

Spreadsheets and QuickBooks

It worked until you hit four active jobs. Now the estimate template is six versions deep. Nobody can find the current numbers.

Buildertrend, CoConstruct, BuildBook

The feature lists check the boxes. The interface looks like 2014. The client portal feels older. You tried it for 18 months and went back to Excel.

JobTread

The closest neighbor. Their users love them: 5 stars across review sites, 13,000+ businesses. But they're built for everybody: roofers, pool builders, commercial, franchises. Nobody designs specifically for the California residential GC. Their real-time numbers live in a dashboard you log into; Baxie pushes the margin alert to your phone before you knew to look. And the math: $199/mo plus $20 per user vs. $99/mo flat locked, five seats included.

Procore

Different sport entirely: commercial. Not your fight.

Baxie.

The office work that used to take your Sunday now runs in the background. You stay in charge of the calls and the judgment. Baxie absorbs the keystrokes.

Founding users

$99/month.
Locked in for as long as you stay.

Founding cohort closes October 31, capped per county.

Baxie is still early. We’re working directly with a small group of California general contractors to build the tools that actually help them see job margin before closeout. No long-term contract. No per-job fees.

Watch: see your margin while the job is still running (10 min)
$99/month

$199/mo list price

For a limited number of California general contractors helping shape Baxie.

Built for California general contractors running multiple jobs at once.

Includes
  • Full product access, unlimited jobs
  • Direct onboarding with Edwin: the founder sets up your first job on your real numbers
  • 5 office seats included, free field crew (vs. per-seat pricing elsewhere)
  • Founding price $99/mo locked for life (goes to $199 + $15/seat after the cohort)
  • County exclusivity: capped per county, first-come
  • Early access to new margin and estimating features
Founding user bonuses
  • Setup done with you ($750 value)
    Your jobs mapped to Baxie’s phase and scope taxonomy, and your estimates imported on the demo call.
  • PM logging training ($500 value)
    A 30-minute call where we train your PM or foreman on logging labor and receipts, so your 30-day guarantee clock starts clean.
  • A direct line to Edwin ($1,000 value)
    No support queue, no tickets.

Charter listing included: your company featured on baxiehq.com as a founding user, plus votes on the roadmap.

Founding price is locked at $99/month as long as you remain a customer.

That's $100/mo off the $199 list price.

Bonuses alone are worth $2,250. With your first month at the $199 list price, that's $2,449 in total value for $99/mo, locked for life.

Real numbers. Early enough to act on them.

See the leak in 30 days, or your money back.

Pay $99 today to lock founding pricing. We build your estimate with you on the onboarding call. Log your labor and receipts, and within 30 days of your first logged cost we show you your first variance report: where your actuals are drifting from your estimate on your live jobs. If we can’t surface the drift, you get your $99 back. No logged costs means nothing to measure, so the 30 days start with your first logged cost.

Built on California assembly pricing pulled from live remodels. Trained on your jobs only. Your bid history never trains another GC’s model.

Founding users

Real quotes, when they're ready to share.

We don't fake testimonials. Our first founding users are California GCs running live jobs on Baxie, private until they choose to go public. Their words go here when they do.

Founding users lock in $99/mo for life. That price ends October 31.

Questions GCs ask us

What you're probably wondering.

Real answers. Short.

Is this for commercial work?

No. Baxie is for single-family residential GCs. ADUs and remodels. Additions and custom new builds. Not commercial, not multi-family.

Are you replacing Procore or Buildertrend?

Baxie is built specifically for California residential GCs running 3+ active jobs, the ICP the generalists don't design for. If you bounced off the others, that's why.

How long does setup take?

Days, not months. Most founding users are uploading their first plan set and reviewing a draft estimate inside week one. No 6-month rollout. No implementation team.

What does it cost?

Founding users pay $99/mo flat: everything included, up to 5 office seats, unlimited jobs, free field crew, held for the life of the account and capped per county. After your county's founding spots fill, list pricing is $199/mo for the first office user plus $15/mo per additional office user. Full details at baxiehq.com/pricing.

Do my subs need an account?

No. Subs get a portal link. They open scope and accept work without logging in. Same for clients.

What happens to my data if I leave?

You export everything. Estimates, budgets, photos, logs. We delete the rest on request. CCPA-compliant.
