Wayne R
Senior Estimator
4.0

Wayne R: Hi, my name's Wayne. I'm the senior estimator for a general contractor. I would rate BuildingConnected at a four out of five. And for more reviews, quick below. Okay. Previously, we used Dropbox. We used to email individual subs for requests, for quotes. Very time consuming. We looked at what we were using currently and decided that the payback time for the time savings would be very short. Okay. It was fairly simple to get familiar with the software and start to utilize it in an efficient manner. I would say that if you're looking for a cost savings as far as time to invite subcontractors and suppliers to quote on your project, it is very beneficial to use this software.

Chris P.: Hi, I'm Chris. I'm the owner of Modified Kitchen and Bath. I rate Houzz Pro five out of five. So previously, I've used a software called CostCertified, which was good but it wasn't full-featured like the Houzz Pro. Houzz Pro has quite a few options. It has a lot of different segments to it so you're checking a lot of boxes. The reason we chose Houzz Pro was first of all was the cost. Second of all, it allowed us to have a built-in website right on the Houzz Pro setup. It also gave us the opportunity to estimate right from their system, and just was very full-featured for what we were paying. I would say it was very easy to get started with Houzz Pro. Once he got signed up, they made it extremely simple. And even putting the website together, it was probably the easiest I've ever worked on. My recommendation would be Houzz Pro would be a great solution if you're a small to medium-sized company and you're looking for an all-in-one feature set that also includes the ability to manage your website and do your estimates all in one system.
