About
BuildOps is a Los Angeles-based software company providing an all-in-one operations platform for commercial specialty trade contractors. The platform covers both service operations — dispatching technicians, tracking work orders, managing service contracts — and construction project management including estimating, project tracking, and billing, which is the critical capability gap for commercial contractors who do both types of work. BuildOps integrates the office and field sides of contractor operations in a single platform, replacing the patchwork of separate tools most commercial contractors use for dispatch, project management, and accounting. The company specifically targets the mid-market commercial segment — contractors with 20-500 field technicians — which has been underserved by software designed for either small residential contractors or large ENR-ranked firms. Founded in 2018, BuildOps raised over $150M from investors including Founders Fund, Next47, and Tiger Global. It competes with ServiceTitan, Jonas Construction, and Trimble in the commercial contractor market.
