Running a construction project has never been easier
MarkSystems® Internet ToolKit™ (ITK)
MarkSystems® Internet ToolKit™ (ITK) is a fully integrated, cloud-based project management program created specifically for home building. It helps you manage your construction projects and subcontractors by providing instantaneous, real-time updates that flow directly from sales to production.

ITK for superintendents and construction managers
Accessing information directly from MarkSystems, ITK provides access to:
- Job starts
- Change orders
- Work orders and purchase orders
- Quality checklists
- Plans and construction documents
- Variance purchase orders
- Warranty schedules and service orders
ITK for trade associates, subcontractors, and suppliers
The ITK portal allows these parties to streamline their operations by:
- Viewing real-time scheduling across all jobs/communities
- Instantly accessing purchasing documents
- Seeing payment approvals and check details
- Managing warranty service and scheduling
- Tracking quality inspections and improving scores
- Instantly viewing and downloading all job documents

ITK for homeowners and homebuyers
The Warranty portal also lets you stay engaged with your customers after the sale and keep on top of the trade associates providing warranty service. Successful builders know that efficient customer service after closing is the best way to maintain good referral sources.
With the ITK you can give home buyers access to any relevant information including:
- All accepted and available selections
- Construction status
- Direct email link to sales
- Sales documents
- Progress photos
ITK sales and design center staff
Your staff can walk the design center or model home while capturing customer selections directly on any internet-enabled device! All selections and pricing are accurate in real-time from your purchasing department. When a color or material are not offered on a specific elevation or are no longer in stock, they simply disappear from the system. The best part is, all selections are immediately available in MarkSystems for contract review and completion.
ITK for prospect registration
With 75% of new homebuyers using the internet as an initial search tool, your ability to find and track online prospects is crucial. The ITK lets you integrate prospect information directly into the system as soon as the prospect shows interest. ITK Prospect Registration captures not just name and contact information, but any demographic information you’ve selected.
