Week of August 7, 2026

Two big ones this week: the project screen has been rebuilt from the ground up, and Files gives company documents a home of their own. The rest of the week went to filtering, and to making downloads and uploads behave on phones.

A rebuilt project screen

The project detail page was the oldest screen in the app and it showed. It has been rebuilt around a compact header, wrapping tabs, and an Overview tab that acts as a dashboard for the job.

• A compact header that keeps the important numbers in view as you scroll
• Tabs that wrap instead of overflowing on smaller screens
• A dedicated bottom bar on mobile, so the controls you need are under your thumb
• An Overview tab that summarises the job instead of dropping you into a list

Files: one home for company documents

Until now every photo and document in BuilderBase hung off a project. Files is a standalone library for everything else: certificates, templates, licences, the photos you have not filed yet.

• Folders you create and nest however you like
• Bulk upload, then select many files at once to move or delete them
• Search by name across the whole library
• View images and PDFs in the app instead of downloading them first
• Built for your team only. Nothing in Files can reach a client portal

Files is on the Pro plan, and is available to Admins and team members.

Sharper calendar filtering

The calendar picked up better filtering, so you can narrow a busy month down to the work, the type or the people you actually care about.

Downloads and uploads that work on a phone

A run of fixes aimed squarely at mobile.

• Estimates, invoices and documents now save properly from iOS Safari instead of being previewed
• Downloads work correctly in the native app
• HEIC photos from an iPhone now upload from an Android browser without failing

Also shipped this week

• Invoice numbers can contain letters, so your existing numbering scheme carries over
• Email is optional when you quick-add a customer, matching the full customer form
• Lead source accepts free text when you pick “Other”, so you can record where a lead really came from
