Project Manager
5.0

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.
