Builder Prime vs. HubSpot

Which CRM Software Is The Best Solution For Home Improvement Contractors?

Builder Prime And HubSpot Comparison

Contractor-Specific CRM Vs. General CRM

The biggest difference between Builder Prime and HubSpot is that Builder Prime is contractor-specific and HubSpot is not. Builder Prime was made exclusively for the home improvement industry. HubSpot was developed for use in any industry.

This is a critical distinction because it greatly affects what the programs do and offer. Here’s how…

Out-Of-The-Box Functionality

Since HubSpot serves all industries—from retail to manufacturing to healthcare—its features and functionality have to remain broad. As a result, it can require extensive customization, setup, and cost before a contractor can implement it into their business.

By narrowing the focus on ONE industry, Builder Prime incorporates everything contractors need into one program. Builder Prime’s default settings are based on the proven workflows proven workflows of home improvement contractors. This allows contractors to incorporate the software into their operations from day one. From there, it’s easy to optimize settings as needed so they fully synergize with company-specific processes.

Estimates And Production Management

While both software solutions provide comprehensive CRM tools, only Builder Prime offers contractor-specific features such as estimation and production management. This gives you total control of projects from start to finish.

This all-in-one system cures a major pain point contractors have with most CRM solutions: the software shuffle. Many CRM programs aren’t designed to work beyond the marketing/sales stage. Once a project passes that phase, contractors need to utilize separate programs for tasks like estimate creation and production.

Builder Prime’s all-in-one functionality allows a seamless transition from lead to sale to production… and beyond. No more software shuffle—you’ve got every tool you need in one program.

Lead Tracking, Follow-Up, And More

HubSpot has a nice set of lead-tracking and follow-up tools: Meeting schedulers, sales automation, KPI reporting, and more.

Builder Prime also has these features… but they’re specifically focused on the needs of contractors:

  • Fail-safe lead tracking automatically classifies leads into over a dozen categories based on job progress.
  • Worry-proof follow-up ensures crystal-clear communication from the first call to post-production.
  • Streamlined scheduling systems for sales AND production teams ensure operations always run smoothly.
  • Precision reporting provides 100% accurate data for all the marketing, sales, and production KPIs important to contractors.

Summary

HubSpot has some really solid CRM tools. It’s not a contractor-specific solution, however, so it lacks features such as estimation and production management. It can also be expensive to customize to the specific needs of the home improvement industry.

Builder Prime was developed from the ground up exclusively for contractors. It contains ALL the tools contractors need to take projects from start to finish—without the costly, cumbersome setup.
