About Custom Homebuilders’ Solutions (CHS) Software
the ACCOUNTING & JOB COSTING SOLUTION for home builders
Carol King
Founder and Developer of CHS
““I am dedicated to working directly with CHS customers, listening to their needs, and helping them build their reputations as accountable and professional home builders...... in any way I can.””
CHS was developed by Carol A King and is built from practical hands-on experience as a controller in the home building industry. Carol's degree and background are in accounting with honors. She has 25+ years of experience in back office consulting for HUNDREDS of home builders, including over 23 years of 100% dedication to the CHS software project. CHS combines Carol's back-office, hands-on experience with dozens of builders’ input and wish lists.
Carol says: “The number ONE reason businesses fail is due to a lack of financial control. As a custom home builder, your customers are spending a large amount of money on their homes, and are generally sophisticated and technology savvy. They WILL expect you to have financial accountability, and to direct your company efficiently. To meet the expectations of your customers, AND others with influence on your company, your system for producing accurate and understandable financial, job cost, and management reports needs to be the most structured part of your business.”

You WILL be required to satisfy your home buyers, lenders, accountants, insurance auditors, trades, suppliers, AND your staff with useful information. CHS will simplify all of it for you by providing the tools you WILL need to manage your business, satisfy outsiders, and increase profits!”

CHS is a FLEXIBLE, HANDS-ON tool for your entire team!
CHS is flexible for builders with different types and styles of jobs! It's purpose is to combine accounting and job cost data into one program for instant access to essential information needed by the builder/owner, project managers, and the accounting staff. It is meant as a 'HANDS ON' tool for everyone to use.
Enter a bill to pay in accounting ONE TIME, mark it with a job and cost code, and the information is instantly available on the job cost and variance reports the builder needs... (WITHOUT spending hours creating outside spreadsheets to analyze your job costs). The builder, or project managers, will enjoy the Job Budgeting/Estimating, Purchase Orders, Change Orders, Costs Approval for Payment, and Job Cost Analysis features and reports. The bookkeeper / accountant will like the full and flexible accounting features that provide tools for quick research and production of financial reporting and records.
