Construction software for US builders and contractors
American builders and contractors get an AI-first platform that runs the whole job — CRM, AI estimating, job costing, purchase orders, and a homeowner portal — with US state sales tax handled automatically.
Built for the way United States builds
Sales tax in the US varies by state and locality, and states differ on whether labour, materials or the whole contract is taxable. BuildersBridge loads the statewide rate for the job's state and lets you set a combined local rate as your workspace sales tax rate in Settings, which new estimates and invoices then carry, so the rate on every document is one you chose rather than a hand calculation. Deciding what is taxable stays with you and your accountant.
- Statewide sales tax rate by job location, with a combined local-rate override
- Workers' Comp-aware subcontractor tracking
- AI estimates that quote a job in seconds
- Budget → committed → billed job costing on every project
Worked example: a $10,000 job in six states
A $10,000 job, before tax, at each state's statewide rate as the app loads it, then with a combined local rate set in Settings. Rates are the state's base rate only; most places add local tax on top.
| State | Tax | Total |
|---|---|---|
| TX | Sales tax 6.25%: US$625.00 | US$10,625.00 |
| FL | Sales tax 6%: US$600.00 | US$10,600.00 |
| CA | Sales tax 7.25%: US$725.00 | US$10,725.00 |
| WA | Sales tax 6.5%: US$650.00 | US$10,650.00 |
| NY | Sales tax 4%: US$400.00 | US$10,400.00 |
| OR | None | US$10,000.00 |
| TX, with 8.25% set as the workspace rate | Tax 8.25%: US$825.00 | US$10,825.00 |
The statewide figure is a floor, not the answer: Texas at 6.25% becomes 8.25% where local tax applies. Set the combined rate you charge in Settings, and decide with your accountant whether labour, materials or the whole contract is taxable in your state. The app applies the rate; it does not decide taxability.

Frequently asked questions
- Does BuildersBridge work for US builders?
- Yes. US businesses are shown and billed plan prices in USD, and estimates and invoices carry the statewide sales tax rate for the job's state, alongside CRM, estimating, job costing and purchase orders. It is built for project work rather than service dispatch.
- How does it handle US sales tax?
- It loads the statewide rate for the job's state, for example 6.25% in Texas, 6% in Florida and 7.25% in California. City, county and district rates are not built in: set the combined rate as your workspace sales tax rate in Settings, and new estimates and invoices use it. It is one rate for the workspace, not one per job. Which parts of a contract are taxable (labour, materials or the whole price) depends on the state and the type of work, so confirm with your accountant; BuildersBridge applies the rate you set.
- Can it track Workers' Comp on subs?
- Yes. The subcontractor directory tracks insurance and Workers' Comp expiry and flags lapsed coverage.
