One Platform to Optimize Operations & Eliminate Inefficiencies

MiTek® KovaTM is a homebuilding business management software that gives you greater control of your business through a single integrated system.

Homebuilders lose up to 50%* of their margin to inefficiencies and variances (VPOs). With various functions like sales, purchasing, and scheduling operating on different systems, small inefficiencies across hundreds to thousands of homes a year significantly amplify losses.
