TL;DR

BuildOps built a platform specifically for commercial mechanical and electrical contractors—the companies that install and service HVAC systems, do commercial plumbing, and run electrical projects. It combines dispatching, quoting, invoicing, and project management in one system. With $100M+ in funding and 500+ employees, they're growing fast. The catch? It's only for commercial contractors, and pricing requires a sales call.

What is BuildOps?

The Commercial Specialty Contractor Platform

BuildOps identified a gap nobody else was filling: commercial HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors need software that handles both service work and construction projects. ServiceTitan focuses on residential. Procore focuses on GCs. BuildOps built for the commercial specialty trades that fall between both.

Service and Construction in One System

Here's what makes BuildOps different. A commercial HVAC contractor does two things: service calls (fixing a rooftop unit at a hospital) and construction projects (installing the HVAC system in a new office building). Most software handles one or the other. BuildOps does both. Dispatch a tech for a service call in the morning, manage a $2M installation project in the afternoon, all from one platform.

The Feature Set That Matters

Dispatching is drag-and-drop with real-time technician tracking. Quoting pulls from your price book and generates professional proposals on-site. Invoicing happens from the field—techs close out work orders and trigger billing immediately. Project management handles multi-phase commercial jobs with scheduling, budgeting, and subcontractor coordination. The CRM tracks the customer relationship from first call through ongoing service agreements.

Growing Fast, Still Maturing

BuildOps raised over $100M and hired aggressively. The product is evolving quickly, which means new features arrive regularly but stability occasionally takes a hit. Some users report that the platform can feel overwhelming initially—there are a lot of modules. The mobile app has improved significantly since 2023 but still gets mixed reviews on reliability in areas with poor connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

BuildOps doesn't publish pricing—you need to book a demo and get a custom quote. Based on user reports and industry analysis, expect $50-$150 per user per month depending on the plan and number of users. Larger teams with 50+ users typically negotiate better per-seat rates. There are no publicly available free trials; the sales process includes a personalized demo.

No. BuildOps serves commercial HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection contractors. The common thread is commercial specialty trades that do both service work and construction projects. Residential contractors should look at ServiceTitan instead. General contractors managing multiple trades should consider Procore or similar PM platforms.
