Quite simply, we love FOUNDATION. We get great customer service from real people and a software solution that keeps progressing and enlarging on concepts to help construction companies.
Be prepared to be frustrated during training do to training sequence and poor explanation of why your doing steps.
All things considered, the conversion went smoothly with the help and encouragement of my trainer. I have a new appreciation for the importance of the initial set-up.
I dislike the inability to have "sub jobs" (cannot print CPR by phase/site). I cannot track labor to change orders.
Great functionality out of the box. The ability to easily write our own reports is a huge benefit.
I was disappointed that the Foundation Mobile app didn't have the reporting that our management staff needs to run our jobsites.
Foundation has great graphics, and the Executive Dashboard is wonderful for our company officers that want a quick and easy-to-understand overview.
I had problems with importing information. Foundation was able to assist me in correcting the issue.
However, if you like you can use simple unit takeoffs and apply a cost to them later. Proest can be as complex or as simple as you'd like for it to be and for the money, it's a pretty good program.
Terrible schedule program; visually unable to have clients and vendors understand it.
Overall it is a great system, they have an awesome trainer that will work with you until you got it. Customer service is also real helpful.
Mid way through my ownership they rolled out the cloud based application of the software and it was garbage, lost of glitches, very slow response, etc.
I liked that this software is very simple and easy, and we had free training sessions which was very useful. I also find the take off system and tools very powerful and the database is huge.
I do have one complaint which may seem petty, but it is an annoyance.
I have been using ProEst for the last year and have for the most part been very happy. The customer support has been very good.
Building an assembly from scratch is so difficult that they now have someone in house that does this for their customers because its so difficult, think about that.
