BuilderFax Launches Newly Reimagined App to Revolutionize Construction Credential Management

Palo Alto, California — BuilderFax, the leading digital credential management platform for construction craft workers, today announced the launch of its newly reimagined app following its acquisition by Lumber.

This reimagined updated app combines BuilderFax’s specialized digital credential wallet with Lumber’s AI-driven workforce management tools, creating a powerful solution to address critical labor shortages and inefficiencies in the US construction industry.

In an industry facing a skilled labor shortage responsible for billions in lost productivity, the enhanced BuilderFax app offers construction craft workers free access to secure digital tools. These tools enable workers to store, track, and share their certifications, training records, and qualifications that previously existed only on paper or in disparate systems.

"BuilderFax was created to transform how skilled craft workers manage and prove their credentials in an industry that has long depended on paper records," said Kirk Samuelson, founder of BuilderFax and former Senior Vice President at Kiewit Corporation. "BuilderFax is now backed by Lumber’s AI and workforce management expertise, offers workers and employers a seamless, digital-first experience that drives both career growth and operational excellence across the construction sector."

“Our mission at Lumber is to transform the construction workforce experience by marrying AI technology with user-friendly tools that empower both contractors and craft workers,” said Shreesha Ramdas, CEO and Co-founder of Lumber. “Builderfax is a critical step in this journey, providing a seamless way to share credentials, boost productivity, and open pathways for career growth in an industry facing unprecedented labor challenges.”

Key benefits of the updated BuilderFax app include:

• Free digital credential management for all craft workers, replacing paper certificates and fragmented systems.
• Streamlined hiring and compliance processes for employers, reducing delays and administrative overhead.
• Career development tools such as resume builders, personalized guidance, construction job boards, and training pathways based on credentials.

Craft workers can directly expect several impactful benefits from using BuilderFax:

• Instant access to a secure, portable digital record of all their certifications and qualifications.
• Easier and faster job applications and credential sharing with employers.
• Automated reminders for license renewals and training deadlines, helping them stay compliant and job-ready.
• Opportunities for career advancement through personalized pathways and visibility to union and contractor job boards.
• Reduced risk of losing or misplacing important paperwork.

This app launch marks a significant step forward in tackling the construction industry’s workforce challenges by combining digital credentialing and comprehensive workforce management into a single platform, empowering craft workers and employers alike.
