New Member Highlight – BuildTopia - a Constellation Company

BuildTopia, the latest integrated construction management system from Constellation HomeBuilder Systems, is tailored to the needs of residential homebuilders — combining all tasks, procedures, and workflow into a single homebuilding hub. As a powerful cloud-based system, the software keeps you connected with your staff, trade partners, and homebuyers to streamline the entire construction process — from sales to design to construction and warranty. Builders like BuildTopia because it helps them reduce construction cycle times, identify resource conflicts, eliminate manual entry, and cut costs, among other things.
