Client approval software for builders
Bring scattered answers back to the project.
Selections and changes often start in a meeting, email, or site conversation. A shared record helps the builder and homeowner revisit the question, understand the supporting information, and see the decision without reconstructing a message thread.
Make the impact visible
Record the proposed budget impact with the request so it can be reviewed alongside the decision. Keep supporting plans and photos in the project.
Keep the response
Return to the recorded status, response notes, and date after the conversation ends. Give the team and client a shared reference for the outcome.
A practical starting point
Make it part of your next project.
Create a selection, decision, or change request with a clear description and any known budget impact.
Review the request with the homeowner and the relevant plans, photos, or specifications.
Record the response and keep the completed decision with the project as work moves forward.
Try the public sample
One selection approved. One still awaiting a response.
Compare two decisions in Cedar House. See the proposed finishes, the recorded budget impact, and the homeowner’s response in the same place.

What decisions should a builder record?
Record selections, requested changes, answers to project questions, and approvals that affect the work. Include enough context to distinguish the decision from the discussion that led to it.
Does a recorded approval replace a signed contract or change order?
Follow the requirements of your project agreements. A shared approval record helps organize communication; it does not by itself replace the contract or any separate sign-off your project requires.
Can the client participate in the project?
Yes. StudSpec connects the builder workspace with an invited homeowner’s workspace for shared project information and collaboration.
Can I see an approval example?
Yes. The public Cedar House sample includes an approved kitchen finish and a flooring selection awaiting a response. You can inspect both without an account; the sample does not submit real approvals.
