How Does BuilderGM Compare To Hyphen’s Home Builder Product Suite?

What Is BuilderGM? 

BuilderGM is a new cloud-based software-as-a-service application designed by Hyphen Solutions to bring its innovative project management features and efficiencies to smaller custom, local and regional Home Builders and remodelers.

Comparing Hyphen’s Home Builder Construction ERPs 

Not every Home Builder has the same needs. That’s why Hyphen Solutions offers three different integrated construction management platforms or ERPs. 

BRIX is an all-in-one cloud-based residential construction ERP software with accounting. This fully integrated platform offers access to the most efficient solutions available, no matter how many projects a Builder handles each year. BRIX allows control over job costing, purchasing, accounting, production and more. Perfect for larger and higher production Home Builders.

Hyphen HomeFront is a fully integrated on-premise residential construction ERP software for companies that build 50 to 1,000 homes per year. It helps efficiently manage processes from sales selections and contracts to estimating and purchasing, to service and warranty all in one system and offers integration with popular accounting software such as QuickBooks, Sage and Xero.

These two residential construction ERPs have differences in features. Only BRIX, for example, will auto-generate a purchase order from an estimate/plan. Only HomeFront offers detailed cost item estimations/analysis. However, BuilderGM actually offers both of these features to Home Builders and remodelers who handle less than 50 projects per year — at lower cost and with less implementation time than our software solutions for larger companies.
