I love how easy to operate the software is. I tried many programs before this one, but this one had the best bang for your buck, easiest to learn and most transparent to translate to the client.
Very limited when it comes to commercial tenders where there are more accessories to count, Biggest problem for me is lack of proper icond ie square ,circle,diamond. Should be proper symbols.
Overall I'm very happy with the program so far, and when I do have a quesiton or concern, the responsiveness of the customer service has been fantastic.
Limited explanation of functions, a lot you learn by trial by error.
Very please with Active takeoff's ease of usability. No CAD background required to get very comfortable on the platform and make the takeoff process far more enjoyable.
Have to count joists off program. Just limited framing which is what I needed.
I love that is allows me to color code plans. As a GC, the subcontractors love it when I have a color coded plan for them.
It doesn't have customizable features for flooring. It is hard to measure for trim and/or base because there isn't an applicable extension.
It truly is the best software out there that exists for the specific application. The project specific communication is the best out there.
You pay an exorbitant amount per project, and still get less features than other programs like Builder Trend. It’s clunky, poorly laid out, and the customer service is terrible.
Overall, great software for a much lower price point than all the competitors. If you are a smaller company, like mine, and you have a tight budget, this is great, functional software.
Circular dependencies are by far the worst problem.
Our clients constantly tell us how easy it is to use and its a selling feature for us. Estimating is super easy and then over the the budget sheet to see how you are tracking with your profits.
The Mobile app is severely lacking. The crew is primarily on the ground and trying to conduct a lot of business on-the-go.
It's a great product, and the customer support helping with the implementation has been exactly what we would have expected from a great company.
Started out well, but got worse and worse as time went on. Could never get straight answers from customer service.
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.
