Rave build
At Rave Build, our mission is to empower Kiwi builders with end-to-end software solutions that streamline their construction processes and improve their workflows.
We started back in 2008
Rave Build Management was founded in 2008 with a simple idea - to create a shared calendar for project managers and builders that could save them time and hassle. Over the years, our company has grown and evolved, but our core values have remained the same: putting our clients first and striving to streamline construction processes for Kiwi builders.
We have expanded our platform to include CRM features, financial modules, and Xero integration. Today, with over 27,000 NZ tradies currently using Rave Build, we are the software of choice for the NZ construction industry.
