The chat app had its moment, but construction work today demands more than just instant messaging—Buildbite delivers the tools you need to get the job done.

3 great reasons to switch from WhatsApp to Buildbite

1

Stay organized

Buildbite organizes all communication by tasks, so nothing gets lost.

Say goodbye to scattered messages and missed instructions.

2

Cut message overload

Reduce daily messages by 75%.

With Buildbite, you’ll have clearer communication and fewer distractions.

3

All-in-one tool

Manage tasks, track time, and communicate—all in one app.

Buildbite is built for construction, streamlining your entire workflow.

Just like the shift from paper forms to spreadsheets, it's time to move from WhatsApp to Buildbite for a whole new approach to field management in construction.

WhatsApp isn’t broken—it’s built for private conversations, not business use

Even though WhatsApp is widely used in the construction industry, it wasn’t designed for the unique challenges of managing projects, tasks, and teams in this field.

Buildbite offers a purpose-built solution that goes beyond simple messaging, allowing for more organized, transparent, and efficient field management.

“WhatsApp worked okay for small projects, but as our projects grew, it became difficult and chaotic to keep things organized. With Buildbite, everything is well structured, easy to find and communication is great both within the team and with our clients.”
