TextBuild is a jobsite reporting tool operated by TextBuild, a sole proprietorship based in Dallas, Texas. On a construction project, field crews and subcontractors send text messages and photos about site conditions into a shared project group text thread. TextBuild reads those messages and compiles them into a live field report and punch list, organized by unit and trade, so the project team keeps a written record of issues raised in the field.
TextBuild operates a toll-free number, +1 (855) 752-0171, which is added as a participant in a project's group text thread. Messages sent to that thread are received by TextBuild and logged to the project's field report. This number is used only for field reporting. It is not used for marketing, promotions, or any unsolicited messaging, and no promotional or consumer messaging is sent from it.
Participants are the field crew and subcontractors working on a specific construction project. The project's manager or superintendent adds them to the group text thread and tells them the thread is monitored and logged by TextBuild. Only people actively working on that project are included in the thread.
Participants are informed, at the time they are added to a project group thread, that the thread includes the TextBuild number and that messages sent to it are recorded in the project's field report. By continuing to send messages to that thread, a participant consents to that logging. Enrollment is arranged directly by the project's management as part of normal project communication; there is no public or web-based sign-up.
Reply STOP to any message from the TextBuild number to stop receiving messages from it. Reply HELP for assistance.

Messages received by the TextBuild number are used solely to generate the field report for the relevant project. We do not sell message content or contact information, and we do not share it with third parties except service providers that operate TextBuild on our behalf (such as our messaging and hosting providers) or where required by law.
