Custom Homebuilders' Solutions (CHS) 'Best Practices' Job Costing, Accounting, Project Management Software for Custom Home Builders
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.

Implementation is moderately complex, requiring time to configure workflows and train staff, especially for teams new to integrated project/accounting systems.
Best suited for organizations with a dedicated project manager, bookkeeper/accountant, and at least one admin or operations lead to oversee setup and ongoing use.
Handles moderate project volumes well; ideal for firms running 5-50 active projects but may be overkill for solo builders or too limited for high-volume, multi-division enterprises.
