Buildertrend is the US residential-builder default — strong client-portal, scheduling and selections, built around US homebuilder workflows. UK contractors hit the gaps fast: USD pricing, no CDM 2015, no CIS-aware procurement, no asbestos register, no UK-specific safety library. SiteLynx is the UK construction-compliance stack from the ground up.

When Buildertrend fits
  • ·You're a US residential builder running spec/custom new-build kits
  • ·You need their specific client-portal selections / change-order workflow
  • ·You bundle with US construction-payment / lending partners
  • ·You don't need UK-specific compliance (CDM, CIS, asbestos, HSE)

Switching from Buildertrend

Buildertrend exports project lists and document store via CSV / PDF. SiteLynx imports project structure on signup. Schedule data doesn't carry across cleanly (different product shape) — most teams treat the move as a fresh start on the compliance side and continue using whatever they had for scheduling. RAMS and policy library come preloaded so there's nothing to recreate from Buildertrend.

15 compliance modules. One bill.

SiteLynx is £12 Solo to £149 Company. RAMS, QA, snags, permits, plant, asbestos, induction QR, site diary, the lot. UK-native. Self-serve trial with watermarked PDFs.
