Construction remodeling software is an online tool that helps remodelers handle everything from lead management to design, estimating, project management, invoicing, and more. It is an umbrella term used to describe software that helps manage every part of a remodeling business by streamlining processes and optimizing workflows while preserving the client experience.

When searching for a home remodeling contractor software, there are 5 main features you’ll want to closely evaluate to ensure they fit your needs. 

• Lead Generation - For finding and sourcing new leads and for keeping those leads organized so you never forget to follow up.
• Design & Takeoff Tools - You’ll need to generate floor plans, conduct takeoffs, and build estimates that cover your margins. Your software should be able to do all of this while helping you save time each week.
• Project Management - For helping manage the day-to-day processes of your remodeling business (client communication, time and expense tracking, etc.).
• Invoicing & Online Payment Tools - For providing timely invoices and offering payment methods that protect your cash flow.
• Integrations - Your construction remodeling software should play well with your other tools (QuickBooks, Gmail, etc.). Ensuring your software integrates with those important platforms is a must.

Any good residential remodeling software should have these features, but there may be differences in how technical or extensive they are. The best way to get a feel for whether a software is right for you is by signing up for a demo or starting a free trial. This way you can test drive the features before committing to a subscription.
