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)
Why SiteLynx beats it
  • UK-native — CDM 2015, F10, H&S File, asbestos register (CAR 2012), NICEIC / GasSafe / CSCS forms
  • AI-drafted RAMS using a 1,200+ UK regulatory reference library
  • Published GBP pricing — £12 Solo to £149 Company
  • Self-serve trial — full feature set, watermarked PDFs, no sales call
  • 17 modules: RAMS, QA, Safety, Gate, Toolbox, Field (snags), Permits, Traffic, Diary, Weekly Site Pack, Plant, Asbestos, Inductions, Compliance, Documents, Library and Accreditation
