Financials, budgeting and the biggest is no cost controls.
Easy to do take offs and manipulate the software to your individual requirements. The support teams are great, always ready to help you and assist you in getting the most out of the software.
Some difficulty getting used to all the functions.
My overall experience it great. It is an asset to our company, helping with scheduling, coordination, and production.
The only thing I can say negative is when writing a comment on my report, the font size automatically go’s to size 16 which I find rather small. I generally use size 30 which is more ledgible.
Easy to use, awesome interface and a awesome tool to track the progress and billing on any job site.
Errors in reading sheet titles for uploaded drawing sets.
The ability to have access to all the information supplied to the team, with the ease of access from mobile devices. Its almost better than having the actual paper version.
The most difficult thing to do in Fieldwire is to make handwritten notes or draw sketches on a plan using the pencil/drawing tool. The tool is extremely choppy.
Their customer service is friendly and helpful to deal with. If you are in construction management I would give them a try and see if you like it.
Fieldwire also has no text search function, which is another basic feature of any other software I've used.
David B.: Hello, my name's David. I'm a Assistant Project Manager over at Tayman Associates, we've been in the Florida area building custom-built homes and remodeling and commercial builds since 1988, and I have a five star review for Buildxact. Before we started using Buildxact, we were just manually doing takeoffs and estimating, and this has really increased the rate at which we can get work done. One of the reasons we decided to go with Buildxact is because the electronic integration, we can have it on our mobile apps, so our different project managers and myself can communicate with each other about different jobs. And the takeoff process is very easy. We get to see how and where people are getting those numbers from every different device, all on the same job. So it makes it really simple to do that stuff. There's a bit of a learning curve with Buildxact, but they have a really good FAQ section and a tutorial section, and anything that is not covered there you can email them, they're really quick to respond. I would recommend you give it a shot, they have a 14-day trial, and it's definitely worth it.
Marcellous W.: Hi, my name is Marcellous. I'm an HR and safety manager, and I rate Fieldwire five out of five. For more information, click below. Before we started using Fieldwire, we didn't have anything that we were using. It was more ball, pen and paper, trying to track daily production and whatnot, mostly text messages, and that's just not the way to do things. Some of the reasons why we chose Fieldwire, one was the price point on this, which was definitely in our budget. We liked it because we can scan in system prints or any kind of schematic showing the scope of work that we were working on. And then you can digitally track it, kind of like an as-built, so you can see where you're at and where you need to finish. And then, once the job is complete, you can still store it there or archive it there, if later on that you need to reference it for anything. That was another good tool to have. As far as getting Fieldwire up and running, it's pretty user-friendly. I mean, it's just a matter of a couple of clicks. You log in and you go to that particular project that you need to view, and there it is. If you need to create a new project, I mean, it's very, user-friendly. Click a button here, type in what you want to call that project, and off you go. Pretty user friendly. I would recommend. The mobility of this app is very good. In the field of construction that I'm in, when you're out in the field and you're looking at the scope of work for this particular project that you're working on, you can follow, stream right along on the app. As well as if you need to take specific photos of something that's on the project, say, a hazard or damage or something, you can store it right in the project on the app, and not on your phone or on your tablet, which is really good. If you need to reference any of those photos, you can go right to that particular project and they're there, and they'll stay there until you delete them. So, those are some of the features that I like, the reason why I would recommend someone to it.
