Manage projects, coordinate teams, and master your company with Basecamp.

Building affordable homes

A volunteer build brings hundreds of helpers to a site that changes every weekend. Basecamp gives site leads and volunteers one shared plan, so every crew knows what to build and families move in on schedule.

An affordable housing build project in Basecamp with a Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, a Calendar, Chat, and Automatic Check-ins

Common Roof posts build milestones like trusses going up on the Message Board and shares build day photos in Docs & Files. To-dos split the site and the volunteers, the Calendar lists each build day, crew leads talk it through in Chat, and Automatic Check-ins collect the day’s progress.
