Custom / Non-Standard Option Management
Buyers have the perfect picture in their mind of what they want their new home to look like. You want to
provide them that home, and make a profit doing it. When a buyer requests an option on their home that you
don’t offer, you are presented with an opportunity to satisfy the buyer. If you offer custom options, you know
gathering cost data and setting pricing correctly can be tedious. If you don’t offer custom options, this tedious
process and margin uncertainty might be why.
BuildTopia takes away the uncertainty with its Customization Module for custom option management. The
Customization Module allows for custom option requests, approvals and pricing to be done online by
connecting sales, construction, purchasing and trade partners to the buyer’s request in real-time
Features
- Custom Company Workflow for Custom Option Handling.
Specify exactly how your company handles
customization requests. The system can be set up to require production managers to approve
customization requests, or require completed estimates for customizations before approved for sale.
- Trade Partner Estimating.
Define activities, documents, and a scope of work for a
customization as part of a package. Send that package to multiple trade partners online for quick
estimate turnarounds.
- Promote to Option.
Notice a customization in high demand for your project? With a simple two-step
process, BuildTopia now allows you to promote that customization to your option catalog with
estimated cost information and retail pricing so you can start to offer it on other units in the rest of your
project.
