No other home builder software gives you the power, flexibility, ease of use, and ROI like MarkSystems.
The premier residential home building project management software on the market today, MarkSystems combines a proven track record of performance with cutting-edge technology to give you the financial control today’s tough business climate demands.
Scheduling That Works the Way You Do: Accurately, On-time, and Within Budget
Deliver your homes on time and within budget using MarkSystems' residential construction scheduling software. You get critical path schedules with dependencies that are tied directly to pay points and quality checklists, giving you the ability to automate vendor payments, improve quality, and make communicating with trade vendors easier than ever.
Get instant, transparent delivery utilizing MarkSystems’ Internet ToolKit and simplify construction management with integrated quality checklists. With MarkSystems, you save time and eliminate manual entry of construction invoices with integrated approvals of work orders.
Proven Construction Cost Estimating Software
How much does it cost to build a house? The ability to answer this question accurately and immediately is vital to every function of a home builder's business, from sales to supplier management.
With MarkSystems you can generate estimates in multiple ways, automate supplier bidding and pricing, and empower sales teams with accurate estimates and up-to-the-minute information for selections and pricing.
One Module Provides All the Construction Procurement Software Capabilities You Need
Accurate purchasing is the backbone of residential construction efficiency, especially in the current market. MarkSystems Material Purchasing module gives builders’ purchasing departments the tools they need to create accurate work orders and purchase orders regardless of house type.
With MarkSystems ERP, you get automated purchase orders that combine base house and option selections and complete control over pricing, even from multiple suppliers.
Empower Sales to Optimize Profitability
Through the MarkSystems Sales module, your team gains an unprecedented view into sales activity, the products you offer, and the performance of your sales personnel. You and your staff can instantly review marketing effectiveness, traffic and demographic trends, and even pro-forma analyses of sales contracts to determine the profit made on each option sale!
Give your staff the confidence to work through complex structural selections in real-time with the homebuyer. And, since MarkSystems’ Sales module is integrated with all the other functions of the software, you never have to question the availability of an option or wait for answers to customers’ pricing questions.
Give Your Sales Teams and Buyers the Flexibility to Request Options During Construction
Give your customers the best possible buying experience while improving your option and upgrade sales, reducing the length of appointment times, and increasing per-sale profits. The MarkSystems Design Center & Option Selection module features the Custom Option Estimator™ function that allows sales personnel, design consultants, and sales managers to request and track all types of custom options. Unusual light fixtures and flooring options, stonework in elevations, and complex structural changes like additional rooms can be easily ordered.
With this home builder design center software, the customer’s experience extends far beyond the model home and design center—it goes right into their living room!
The Key to Successful Customer Service Is Communication
Positive customer feedback and solid referrals are crucial to home building success. The MarkSystems' Warranty & Customer Service modules are designed to help you keep customers happy and subcontractors on task while identifying any recurring warranty issues that can be addressed during construction.
Warranty personnel will have instant access to the entire body of knowledge created during the sale and construction of each customer’s house. Customer service knows what options were sold, which subcontractors and suppliers were involved, and what correspondence occurred with every homeowner.
Reports for Sales, Purchasing, Job Costing, Warranty, Accounting, and more!
MarkSystems contains built-in reporting tools that unite your staff through centralized information available in a single platform. By pulling real-time data from all department modules, you can get easy-to-read reports directly in the reporting software and will feel confident the information is accurate.
With MarkSystems ERP, you can create custom reports that automatically update, give users secure access to data, allow unlimited saved reports, and output your reports to a printer, a PDF file, or a spreadsheet.
From Land Acquisition to Home Warranty
The Land Development module combines information into a single, integrated system to offer full budgeting, scheduling, contracting, and job costing features for land use, real estate development, and commercial construction projects. Track land development projects that have multiple budgets, support complex contracting, and integrate land development costs seamlessly into the vertical construction.
With the addition of LotVue®, you get insights into the lot development and home construction progress to hone in quickly on issues, and make informed real estate development decisions.
Project Management Made Easy with the Internet ToolKit™ (ITK)
The ITK helps you manage your construction projects and subcontractors by providing instantaneous, real-time updates that flow directly from sales to production. That means there is no need for nightly information updates or synchronization processes.
Team members, subcontractors, and home buyers alike can access pertinent, consistent information directly from their mobile phones or tablets. From trade partners to home owners, everyone can use the ITK!
Get More Leads Using Interactive Site Maps
Empower your marketing and sales teams to provide the information buyers need to progress from expressing interest online, through comparing new home and lot options from multiple builders, to signing a contract with you.
Let home buyers kick off the buying process sooner by enabling them to research online. Engage online home buyers with the real-time information they are looking for by featuring lot status, price, and available elevations and floor plans on your website. Increase requests for information and accelerate sales by allowing home buyers to research available options.
