What if the secret to running a profitable construction business wasn’t working harder, but working smarter with the right tools?

In this episode of Builder Buzz by Home Nation, host Quinton Comino sits down with Jennifer Castenson from Buildxact, the cloud-based construction management platform built for custom home builders, remodelers, and small to mid-sized contractors. From estimating and quoting to supplier integrations and client communication, Buildxact is helping contractors ditch the pen-and-paper chaos for streamlined, transparent, and profitable workflows.

Jennifer shares how Buildxact integrates directly with suppliers, such as Home Depot, to deliver real-time, API-driven pricing, eliminating costly surprises and change orders. She also highlights how AI tools like Blue, Buildxact’s AI assistant, generate detailed estimates, catch missing items, and save builders hours of late-night admin work.

This episode goes beyond business efficiency, showcasing how contractors are improving not only their profitability but also their quality of life, regaining time for family, health, and personal growth.
