Buildertrend administration support maintains the recurring records that make a residential job legible: daily logs, schedules, selections, change orders, purchase orders, and the client-facing updates that depend on them. The desk keeps the account current and surfaces what needs a decision. Your team keeps approval authority over pricing, selections sign-off, contract changes, and every message that commits the company.
Where this fits: This lane administers an existing Buildertrend account. If you are configuring or restarting a platform rollout, start with ConTech operations; if the platform is JobTread, use the JobTread implementation lane.
A reliable service lane starts with controlled inputs and a named client reviewer—not a broad list of tasks with unclear authority.
The exact format is agreed during onboarding. These are the operating records the service is designed to keep current.
Review active jobs, template quality, permission levels, and the gap between what Buildertrend contains and what the team actually relies on.
Agree the daily log standard, selection deadline rule, and change-order path so completeness can be measured rather than debated.
Operate the full rhythm on a single active job, then extend the templates and checklists across the portfolio.
Give the builder a weekly decisions-required list instead of another full-project export.

Answers describe how the service is scoped and where authority stays with your team.
A Buildertrend virtual assistant maintains the recurring administrative records inside your account: daily log completeness, schedule updates and look-aheads, selections tracking, change-order and purchase-order records, client portal document hygiene, and closeout collection. The role keeps the account current and produces a weekly list of decisions that need a builder. It does not price work, approve selections, or make commitments to homeowners.
Only within a written standard you approve. Most teams start by having the desk prepare and organize portal content, documents, and photos while a named builder or project manager posts anything that sets an expectation with a homeowner. As the standard proves reliable, some clients approve routine posts such as schedule notices under a fixed template.
The desk works at the lowest permission level that still allows the agreed administrative actions. Permission mapping happens during onboarding: each recurring task is matched to a specific Buildertrend permission, and anything requiring elevated authority stays with your internal team. You own the account and can change or revoke access at any time.
A coordinator typically carries judgment and authority across a project. This lane is scoped to defined administrative records with a named client reviewer and an explicit approval boundary. That makes the work reviewable and transferable, but it also means the desk escalates rather than deciding when something falls outside the agreed scope.
Yes. The record types are similar across custom building, remodeling, and design-build; the difference is usually selection volume, allowance handling, and how much client communication runs through the portal. The standard is set during onboarding against your job mix.
That depends on the size of the backlog and how reachable field staff are, not on the desk alone. Onboarding starts with one active job so the rhythm and the daily log standard can be proven before templates are applied across the portfolio. Expect the first weekly review pack within the first operating cycle.
