The project management platform built specifically for small architecture firms. Track phases, manage budgets, and keep clients in the loop – without the chaos.
Every stakeholder gets their own tailored experience – seeing only what matters to them.
Manage phases, budgets, tasks, and client communications from a single dashboard. Control what clients see, add markup to costs, and keep your firm running like clockwork.
Your clients see exactly what they need – project progress, budget summaries, material selections, and daily photos. No overwhelm, just clarity.
Contractors see their assigned tasks, submit daily logs with photos, and stay aligned – without needing to navigate complex software.
Purpose-built tools for residential architecture projects – not repurposed enterprise software.
Visual phase tracker from Planning to Furnishing. Click to advance phases and keep everyone aligned on where the project stands.
Monday.com-style task management grouped by phase. Assign tasks, set priorities, track due dates – all in one view.
Contractors submit daily site updates with photos. Everything auto-organizes into Dropbox folders by date.
Full cost breakdown with hidden markup. You see cost + markup %, clients see the final price. Import from XLS/CSV.
Present material options with photos and prices. Clients browse, compare, and lock in their choices – no more email chains.
Bidirectional scope changes – architect or client can request. Other party approves, and it auto-updates the budget.
No training needed. No complex setup. Just create, invite, and manage.
Set up your project, define phases, and invite your client and contractor with a single link. They each get their own portal.
Assign tasks, advance phases, review daily logs, and manage budgets. Everything stays organized and synced in real time.
Your client approves selections, sees budget summaries, tracks progress with photos, and stays in the loop – all from their portal.
Every file, photo, and document is automatically sorted into a clean folder structure in your Dropbox. No more hunting for files or renaming photos at midnight.
Most project management software is built for general contractors or large commercial firms. BuildZeno is different – it was designed specifically for small residential architecture studios managing remodels, additions, and custom home builds.
With BuildZeno, you get a dedicated client portal where homeowners can track project progress, approve material selections, review change orders, and access shared documents – without seeing your internal costs or markup. Your budget stays private; clients see only what they need to see.
Contractors get their own portal with access to assigned tasks, daily log submissions, and project documents. No more back-and-forth emails. Every update is timestamped and tied to the project record.
Unlike tools like Monograph or BQE Core that focus on billing and time tracking, BuildZeno focuses on the construction side of the workflow: phases, tasks, change orders, daily logs, material selections, and Dropbox file sync. It takes under 30 minutes to set up your first project – no implementation, no onboarding calls.
Every feature – client portal, budget markup, material selections, change orders – is designed around the residential architecture workflow, not adapted from a commercial construction platform.
Add your entire team, all your clients, and all your contractors. The price doesn't change. Starting at $49/month for up to 3 active projects.
Connect your Dropbox account and BuildZeno automatically creates project folders. Every document uploaded in the app appears in your Dropbox – organized and accessible without logging in.
Create an account, add a project, invite your client and contractor. Most firms are fully set up in under 30 minutes. No onboarding call, no dedicated support package required.
