While generic ERPs force you to adapt your processes to their limitations, HomeBuilder by Suite Engine was designed from the ground up for residential construction.
Modern construction demands visibility that spans from initial land acquisition through warranty completion. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides the enterprise-grade foundation, but it's Suite Engine's HomeBuilder that transforms this platform into a construction powerhouse, tailor-made for residential homebuilders. It transforms Business Central into a full-fledged construction management system, streamlining operations from budgeting to buyer communication.
