Client Portal for Home Builders

Fewer calls. Better reviews. Clients who actually feel informed.

Ressio's client portal gives homeowners a professional window into their project — schedules, daily logs, selections, approvals, and invoices — accessible via magic link. No app download. No password. No friction.

A portal your clients will actually use

Most client portals require a login your clients forget, an app they won't download, and a setup process that never gets done. Ressio's magic link removes all of it.

Your project portal is ready — view your schedule, approvals, and invoices any time.

No appNo passwordAny device

Magic link access — tap and you're in

Clients don't need an account, a password, or an app. You send a notification — they tap the link — they're in their portal. It works on any device, any browser, every time. One builder's client who had dementia was using it successfully within the first week.

  • No account required — no password to set or forget
  • Works on any device and any browser
  • Access to everything you've shared — schedule, logs, docs, invoices
  • You control exactly what each client can see

Selections and approvals — without the back-and-forth

Clients make selections, approve change orders, and sign off on proposals from their portal — without emailing back and forth or losing track of what was approved and when. Every action is timestamped. You have a record. No more disputes at closeout.

  • Selections with client approval flow — tied to estimate and budget
  • Change orders sent and signed via the portal
  • Proposals e-signed without a Ressio account
  • Full approval history on every project — timestamped

Schedule and daily logs — clients see what you want them to see

Share your project schedule with clients selectively — specific phases, individual tasks, or the full timeline. Daily logs keep them informed without a phone call. You set what's public, what's private, and what clients can interact with.

  • Share schedule phases or the full timeline — your choice
  • Daily logs set to public appear in the client portal automatically
  • Private notes and internal files stay hidden from clients
  • Clients can message on tasks they're assigned to

Invoices reviewed and paid — from the same portal

When you release an invoice, your client gets a notification and views it directly in their portal. Professional. Fast. No email attachments, no printing. Clients see their payment history alongside their project — everything in one place.

  • Invoice release sends notification with magic link
  • Client views invoice in their portal with project context
  • Payment history visible alongside project timeline
  • Supports Ressio payment processing for online collection

Your client is in their portal in three steps

01

Set up client visibility

In Project Settings, enable client access and choose what they can see — schedule phases, daily logs, documents, financials. You control the view for each client on each project.

02

Assign and notify

Assign your client to tasks, selections, or the project itself. Send a notification — they receive an email with a magic link and are in their portal in seconds.

03

Clients stay informed without calling you

They see their schedule, read daily logs, approve selections, sign change orders, and review invoices — all from one place on their phone. You get fewer calls. They get a better experience.

The portal connects to everything on the project

Ressio's client portal isn't a separate tool — it's a filtered view of the same project your team is working in. What you update in Ressio appears in the portal automatically.

No third-party portal tool required. The client portal is built into every Ressio project.
