Permit sequencing, subcontractor coordination, warranty tracking, and AI daily logs — everything a pool builder needs to manage projects from dig to water delivery.
Pool Builder–Specific Features
Pool construction runs on a strict phase sequence with multiple inspections and 4–6 subcontractor trades. Generic GC software can't manage this — BuildStackHub can.
Track each permit phase: excavation → plumbing rough-in inspection → electrical rough-in inspection → shell inspection → final electrical → final building. Flag failed inspections immediately so rework doesn't cascade and delay downstream trades.
Manage excavation, plumbing, electrical, gunite/fiberglass, decking, and landscaping subs across the inspection sequence. Log scheduled vs. actual mobilization dates, work scope, and payment milestone triggers. One late sub cascades — catch it early.
Store warranty terms separately for shell, pump, filter, heater, and automation — because each has different coverage periods and manufacturers. When a warranty claim arrives, pull up the component record instantly: install date, manufacturer, and documentation.
Describe the pool scope in plain English — "20×40 gunite with spa, travertine decking, gas heater, automation" — and get a line-item estimate with excavation, shell, equipment, and finish costs in 60 seconds.
Track project phase completion — dig, rough-in, shell, decking, equipment, startup — with actual vs. projected dates. Identify which projects are running behind before the homeowner calls to ask.
AI converts field notes into legally structured pool construction logs. Document excavation progress, inspections passed, subs on site, equipment installed, and any permit or inspection communications — automatically formatted.
