Contractor Foreman vs CoConstruct: Which is a better fit?

Kamlesh P.: My name is Kamlesh. I'm a project manager and I give Contractor Foreman five. Click below for more reviews. I tried a few softwares, like a field demo, and tried for a month [inaudible 00:00:15], but none of them are capable enough to do what Contractor Foreman can do. Not only that, some softwares they want [inaudible 00:00:28] based on project size versus Contractor Foreman is just a system. No matter what amount is, the system is system. That is why I like Contractor Foreman more. And other thing they keep changes what we suggest. We need some changes to do and they do it. We see in a day, in a month, in a week they have included. Contractor Foreman, first, is very user-friendly, customizable. Price factor is very low cost compared to any other software. The most important thing that I like about it is the EIA style billing because that's more important and we have to do it every month for every project. No other software has that capability that I used it. But this one has a very good EIA billing system. To start with Contractor Foreman, the very good system they have is they have an online chat available all the time. So while you're setting up your company, your projects if you have any questions, they are right there helping you. And that way you don't feel stressed out to set up your company when it's you're using first time. So I like that option very well about it. If you are looking for the best software for construction management, Contractor Foreman is the best, you should go for it. It's very simple, very easy, lot of features and you will never go wrong with this.

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.
