CHS

Archie's take

CHS is purpose-built for custom home builders who need robust job costing, accounting, and project management in one package, making it a strong fit for firms that want industry-specific workflows rather than generic construction software. Its standout advantage is the deep integration of financials and project tracking, which helps builders keep a tight grip on budgets, change orders, and client communications—critical for custom projects with lots of moving parts. However, CHS is less suited for large commercial contractors or firms with highly complex, multi-division operations, and its interface can feel dated compared to newer SaaS competitors. Pricing is competitive for the feature set, but smaller builders should weigh the learning curve and implementation effort against their actual process needs.
