Texting

Texting is pay as you go. Here's what it costs.

Texts go out from your own company number. Slide to how many your team sends in a month.

01,0002,5005,000

Count the automatic texts too: tour reminders, follow-ups and quote links all go out from your number. The estimate assumes buyers reply to about half. A long text over 160 characters counts as two parts.

Estimated texting

Pay as you go from a prepaid balance, on top of your monthly plan. Calls are 3¢ a minute if you turn them on. Every account starts with texting credit for the carrier registration.

Questions

What builders ask before they sign up.

Who owns the contract language?

You and your attorney do. Before The Build assembles your documents from the templates you give us and fills them from the customer record. We don’t write or edit contract language, and nothing in the product is advice about what your documents should say.

What does onboarding include?

Onboarding is $1,500 one time. It includes three contract templates set up from your documents, your design catalog imported with costs, your branding on every buyer PDF, texting setup on your own number, and training for your team. Extra contract templates are $350 each. The short version: send us your files Monday, quote on Wednesday.

Can we pay annually?

Yes. Annual billing gets two months free, so the standard rate is $3,970 a year instead of $4,764.

How does cancellation work?

Monthly plans are month-to-month. There is no long-term commitment.

What does the founding rate require?

The first 10 builders pay $297 a month instead of $397, locked for as long as they stay. In exchange, we write a case study together once you’re up and running.

Does money move through Before The Build?

No. When a buyer pays a deposit online, it goes straight into your own Stripe account at Stripe’s standard rates. We never hold your money and we don’t add a fee.

Do we need a separate CRM?

No. Customer records, a sales pipeline, lead capture, two-way texting, and automatic follow-ups are built in. Leads from your ads or other tools can come in through Zapier or Make. If you already use a CRM, tell us on the demo and we’ll tell you plainly what works today.

Does it replace Buildertrend?

It can. Before The Build covers the sale and the build: schedules, daily logs, change orders, punch lists, trade partners, budgets, draws and a page for every buyer, all from the same record as the contract. See the comparison.
