Summary: Buildertrend adds AI-powered client updates

Why It Matters: The platform is moving beyond basic project tracking by using AI to automate communication. This helps contractors save time while keeping homeowners informed, which is a major pain point in construction.

What Changed:

• Added a new "Client Updates" feature powered by AI to the communication suite.
• Introduced a "Sub Portal" specifically for subcontractor management.
• Updated the homepage with 2025 industry data showing that only 18% of builders currently use AI for communication.
• Added a "Takeoff" tool to the pre-construction feature list.
• Expanded the "Resources" section with a new community platform and brand ambassador program.
• Added direct comparison pages for competitors like Buildbook, Buildern, and Houzz Pro.
