Denise L
Director of Finance
3.0

Denise L.: Hi. I'm Denise. I am a director of finance with a small construction company on the Mississippi Coast. I have been using CoConstruct for about seven months, and I give it a three out of five stars. We were using more of an Excel spreadsheet type format before we started with CoConstruct. There are some other trial programs they used prior to my arrival here at the company, and we have since switched from CoConstruct to a different company to do our project management. We chose CoConstruct because it is one of the industry standards. It does help us track the jobs as well as communicate with our clients, keep in touch with our vendors, and it also helps support the project manager in the day-to-day job logs and tasks that needed to be done as well as scheduling. The onboarding process with CoConstruct was a little cumbersome. We had to pay a fee for four different courses with a trainer that was extra in addition to what we were already paying a month and that... If we didn't know what we were doing, it was difficult. We wound up going through courses throughout the months, and we're in month seven. We still haven't touched half of what the capabilities are in CoConstruct. It was a little bit difficult. I recommend you think twice about using CoConstruct at this point. From the company itself, I've been informed that there will be no more future updates to the software. So my concern with that was it integrates with QuickBooks. If QuickBooks has an update or it has something that changes, will it work with CoConstruct? That's definitely something to keep in mind for future users. The other thing is the price point is going up, and compared to other software, I'm not sure that it's worth that same amount.
