Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Josh, and I built Groundbase because building a house is really tough. Like really really tough. So many decisions and money is flying all over the place. Groundbase was my way of regaining control over all the choices that come with building a home. If you've never built a house, here's the problem. The money doesn't come from one place. Some is construction loan draws, some is your savings, and some is money you don't have yet, like from selling your current home. Meanwhile costs keep moving: an allowance goes over, a change order comes in, the tile you picked costs twice what the builder assumed. Groundbase keeps all of that in one view: 💰 One funding answer. Are you covered, or short, and by how much? 📋 Draws that make sense. See which builder payments come from the bank and which come out of your pocket. 🪟 Allowances and selections. Know right away when a choice pushes you over budget. 🧪 A planning sandbox. Try "what if we upgrade the kitchen?" 🤝 Invite your builder, lender, and architect so everyone works from the same numbers. It's built for owner-builders and anyone building a custom home, not for big construction firms. I'd love your honest feedback, especially if you've built or renovated before. What did you wish you'd tracked sooner? I'll be here all day answering questions.
