    Really good all-encompassing construction project management tool

    Date: Nov 01 2023
    Summary

    It has been a great tool for us to manage the crew's time on jobs and communication with the customer for initial contact, proposal, updated estimates, invoicing, job progress and completion. BuilderTrend seems to truly appreciate their customers/users and they take our input for continuous product improvements.

    Positive

    Handles pretty much all aspects of managing construction jobs - crew time clock, schedules, customer interface, estimates, sub-contractor mgmt, etc. etc. etc. Many features we don't even use. They are constantly improving the product, and the customer support is excellent.

    Negative

    There are some inconsistencies between screens and there have been issues with some text entry screens not being sure data is saved before closing, although they are improving this.

    Review

    Date: Aug 18 2023
    Summary

    Overall Buildertrend has saved me time as phases can roll easily into the next. Estimates convert into Jobs nicely and the template functions are great.

    I could save more time being able to do everything through Buildertrend though, so I look forward to an update to change orders.

    Positive

    I like that Buildertrend can replace DocuSign and QuickBooks for sending estimates and getting contracts signed.

    Negative

    I do not like that Buildertrend cannot replace DocuSign for sending and signing change orders.

    I will not use Buildertrend to send change orders until change order viewing and signing functions the same as proposals.

    I am not going to have a 10 minute phone call walking each customer through how to make a Buildertrend account and use the Buildertrend portal. It is ridiculous.

    Makes our life easier

    Date: Aug 15 2023
    Summary

    This is a great product that we need to work on using to it's full potential which we're working on!

    Positive

    Buildertrend makes tracking our jobs internally, with our clients, and with our trade partners much easier. We love that our project managers and trade partners have easy access to all jobs from their phones in the field to their computers in the office.

    Negative

    An easier way to incorporate with marketing so we don't have to use a separate email marketing and CMS.

    Excellent Support

    Date: Aug 18 2023
    Summary

    Buildertrend is a robust system that is user friendly and includes excellent customer support. We value that they enhance the system based on customer feedback. An open API would be a game changer for our business.

    Positive

    The support team at Buildertrend is exceptional. Our dedicated support team for our system of forty franchise locations and growing is fantastic. They are always willing to work with us to problem solve and have timely responses every time. Buildertrend listens to client feedback and makes enhancements and updates to the system based on that feedback.

    Negative

    The lack of having an open API has been a downside to our working with Buildertrend. Being able to integrate with our CRM system would be a significant advantage to our franchise owners and also help to justify the cost of their Buildertrend subscription.

    BT Review

    Date: Sep 25 2023
    Summary

    Over the years have become more and more comfortable and knowledgeable about the product. We are using almost all aspects of the program now.

    Positive

    The idea that everything is all in one place from Lead to Estimate to Invoicing for the customer and Bids to POs to payments for the Subs.

    Negative

    The payment system for paying subcontractors. Printing the checks I would send to the subs did not work and banks would not honor them.

    Simple, Direct & Effective

    Date: Aug 16 2023
    Summary

    Overall I have enjoyed using Buildertrend. We are simple in our needs- Daily Logs, Change Orders, emails to clients, not too much going on that we need a larger and more complicated system.

    Positive

    What I like about Buildertrend is that it is far less "complicated" than other systems. Not to say that Buildertrend doesn't cover all the bases, but it is much more user-friendly than other systems we have used.

    Negative

    One downside is that Buildertrend is not able to link with our accounting software. Other programs we have used do have this ability, but it is not so straightforward and easy as they make it sound. If it doesn't work so well, perhaps not having the connection is better after all.

    Not the best

    Date: Oct 26 2021

    I'm really not a fan of Buildertrend. There wasn't really anything that I liked about the program. There are better options out there. I did not find Buildertrend to be user friendly at all.

    Positive

    This software simplifies our Construction Management Process with easy to use tools and interfaces such as Activity Calender and Lead Reports.

We the multiperson collaboration, we are all able to stay up to date with the progress as a team.

    Negative

    We have found that the tax setup for the system was a little off when we first started. Nothing That couldn't be fixed and adjusted.
