Switching from Buildertrend? Common Questions

I'm using Buildertrend for everything. Do I need to switch completely?

Not at all. Keep Buildertrend for project management, scheduling, and client communication. Use SealedScope specifically for change order management and dispute protection. They solve different problems.

Buildertrend has change orders built in. Why would I use SealedScope?

Buildertrend's change order feature is one small piece of a massive platform. SealedScope's entire product is built around change orders: dispute protection, evidence packaging, and a workflow designed specifically for the field. It's the difference between a Swiss Army knife and a purpose-built tool.

Is SealedScope as reliable as Buildertrend?

SealedScope uses ESIGN-compliant digital signatures, timestamped records, and encrypted storage. Every change order creates a legally binding document that holds up in court. We focus on doing one thing right.

My clients already use the Buildertrend portal. Won't this confuse them?

SealedScope's client approval flow is dead simple. They click a link, review the change order, and sign. No portal login required. No app download. Works on any phone in under 30 seconds.

You Don't Need a 747. You Need a Pickup Truck.

Buildertrend is built for managing entire projects. SealedScope is built for one thing: making sure you get paid for every change order.
