Frequently Asked Questions

Can BuildVision handle simple service jobs like Jobber?

Yes, BuildVision can handle simple jobs, but it's designed for construction projects. If you only do simple service calls, Jobber might be more cost-effective.

What's the real cost difference between BuildVision and Jobber?

While Jobber offers low-cost entry plans, construction companies typically need higher-tier plans for adequate features. BuildVision provides custom enterprise pricing with done-for-you implementation and success guarantee included.

I'm a small contractor using Jobber. When should I switch?

Consider switching when you start handling multi-phase projects, need to manage drawings and RFIs, or when Jobber's user limits become restrictive (usually around 5-10 employees).

Does BuildVision have features like Jobber's AI Receptionist?

BuildVision focuses on construction-specific AI features like project risk analysis and schedule optimization rather than call answering. We integrate with dedicated phone systems for that functionality.
