Foundry for custom home builders

Built for the way custom homes actually get built.

Selections, allowances, draws, and 18-month timelines. Foundry gives custom home builders the operational backbone — and gives your clients the kind of experience that earns referrals.

The top 25% of single-family builders earned a 17.7% net margin in 2023. The bottom 25% lost 1.4%. The 19-point gap shows up almost entirely on cost of sales: 76.9% of revenue for the top quartile, 83.0% for the bottom. NAHB, The Cost of Doing Business Study (2025 Edition (FY2023 data))

Custom homes don't fit generic software.

  1. Selections sprawl across spreadsheets

    300 selections per home, each with an allowance, a deadline, and a client decision. Foundry centralizes the entire selection workflow with built-in client approvals.

  2. Allowance overruns surprise everyone

    Foundry tracks every selection against its allowance in real time. Overrun? You see it before the client does, with the dollar impact already calculated.

  3. Draws are an event, not a process

    Cost-to-complete, AIA-style draws, lender packets. Foundry pulls your job costs into draw-ready reports the same day you need them.

  4. Clients expect concierge communication

    Photos, progress, selections, change orders, invoices — all in a client portal that looks as buttoned-up as the home you're delivering.

  5. Long timelines mean institutional memory walks out the door

    Every decision, photo, RFI, and change order is searchable per job. PMs and supers can hand off mid-build without missing a beat.

How Foundry shows up for custom builders

Selections + allowances, integrated

Every selection ties to a budget line, an allowance, and a client decision. Overruns surface the moment they happen.

Draw-ready job costing

WIP snapshots, cost-to-complete, and budget vs. actual reports — pull a lender packet in minutes, not days.

Concierge client portal

A polished, login-gated view per job. Selections to approve, photos to scroll, invoices to pay.

Searchable history per home

Every photo, log, RFI, and CO indexed and instantly findable. Mid-build handoffs and warranty calls become trivial.
