Generac, Buildertrend form joint initiative
Generac Power Systems and Buildertrend, a construction management software for home builders, remodelers and contractors, announced the addition of the Generac comprehensive suite of residential energy solutions to the Buildertrend platform.
“As the most used home standby generator brand within the builder segment, we’re seeing an unprecedented level of consumer demand for our residential products among home builders,” said Erik Anderson, vice president sales – electrical wholesale at Generac.
“Backup power has become a major trend in the building industry as builders realize the critical role that power plays in everyday life. We’re proud to work with Buildertrend to make residential generator installation easier than ever for the home building industry,” said Anderson.
Generac’s complete suite of home standby generators, PWRcell solar + battery storage systems, and ecobee thermostats and smart home devices will be integrated into Buildertrend software.
This move, said the energy company, will make it “easier for builders and their homeowners to specify and integrate backup power and energy management tools into the design and construction process early. This will help to potentially save thousands of dollars’ worth of installation costs.”
“At Buildertrend, we understand the significance of optimized material management, which is why we’re thrilled to have Generac’s full line of products added to the Buildertrend program,” said Brian Pavlick, senior vice president and GM of materials management at Buildertrend.
“By leveraging our comprehensive solution for receipt tracking and rebate processing, builders can maximize cost savings on name brands and enhance project outcomes, cementing their success in an increasingly competitive industry,” said Pavlick.
Generac said it further supports home builders through its Builder Alliance program, a no-cost program designed to support builders installing home standby generators by providing them with preferred builder pricing, sales training and marketing tools.
