Project Control Analyst Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "active user of scheduling tool and resource" August 6, 2024 2.0 Pros I like how we can display the projects on the Multi-Project Scheduling and Resource Tracking page. It allows us to easily see the workload and project progress. Cons I don't like the way the scheduling page works and we can't easily integrate it with MS Project. Updating the schedules can sometimes turn into a nightmare. Additionally, the way we input projects is not user-friendly in most cases, in my opinion. Review Source MW Mike W.

Syncing ability, etc Cons So far it all seems like it works well…. Review Source JJ Julian J. Developer and Builder Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best I Ever Had" July 17, 2024 5.0 My overall experience has been great with construction online - outstanding. Pros Construction online is a great product however the thing that has been most impressive over the years has been the customer service. They have always responded to my questions and concerns promptly and accurately via email, chat room or phone. They have always been responsive. Cons My only only con would be future price increases. I will look past that if the product and customer service continue to be there. Review Source kL kirk L. President Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Can't do business without it." July 22, 2024 5.0 I love this software setup. As I expand my office again, I look forward to using some of the advanced features to help streamline our approach to building. Pros I really love the accessibility of all your documentation for each project. Whether it's an estimate for the bank, contracts for the homeowner, or bids from sub-contractors, it's all right there. Cons I purchased Construction Suite in the past. I had gotten out of the game for a little bit pursuing some other projects. Now that I am building again, I wish there had been a little more loyalty for past customers now that it has gone to Construction online. The features are still the best that I have seen.

Review Source RS Robert S. Principal Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Construction Management Platform." July 30, 2024 5.0 Very good communication from the initial demonstration, through the selection process; and on to helping us find the right solution for our needs. Everyone was really professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Pros It's set up the way it should be. It's very easy to put in the information you need and access the tools. You can literally start working with the software as soon as you sign in. Cons I have to spend some more time to find something. Switched from [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) I did not like BuilderTrend. Very frustrating and poor customer service. Review Source PS Piotr S. Owner Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great, Great product!!!" July 5, 2024 5.0 Great experience with people working at UDA. They know what they are talking about and they have a product that you would have to pay way more to get the same features. I have been with UDA since 2013 and they have never stopped improving their product. I probably will never switch to any other product. Pros 1\. How easy it is to learn it, use it, and integrate it into daily routines 2. Customer service is 11/10 3. Features 4. ClientLink Cons 1\. I honestly didn't find anything to complain about yet :)) Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[Sage Construction Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/154874/Sage-Construction-Suite/)[Contractor Foreman](https://www.capterra.com/p/166113/Contractor-Foreman/) Reason for choosing ConstructionOnline Price, customer service, quality of the software, features. Review Source JP Joel P. PM Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Joel Phifer " April 3, 2024 4.0 It seems like a very comparable system to other construction management softwares out there for a lower price point. Pros Over all the system is easy to use and seems to have many features that other more expensive softwares have. Cons I believe this may be an add on feature but I feel like the PO/billing side is lacking. I would like to be able to track every expense per subcontractor/vendor in the system. Switched from [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Moved from one company that used Buildertrend to Defined by Design that uses Construction online. Review Source JL Juan L. Principal Mechanical Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "JFL Plug Power Mechanical Engineering review" September 8, 2023 4.0 Overall it's a great software. I have used countless apps and software that detail site information. I think the user interface is fantastic in my opinion, one of the best if not the best. I don't know how the project score works but I'm going to get more familiar. I think just doing this review has opened my world up to all these other tools that I will be using. Pros The individual who designed the site interface did a great job. The weather and latest project activity are items that I'll now open when speaking to the engineer at site. In doing this review, I found out that I can see the address of the site, which sounds simple, but is INCREDIBLY useful. If one can imagine, I am looking for a site in 2015, and there are 8 buildings owned by the same major company. It takes me say, 10-15 min finding on google maps where the site exactly is, and even then sometimes it's unclear. Using this site already saved my 2 hours just with that simple application on the main user screen while I was doing this review. Cons I think I'd like to have a "Read Me" about each particular site so that I understand what the mindset is of the individual onsite. As an example, a read me note would detail "Raymond Furr will be at site on Monday's and Fridays doing XYZ check, and uploading pictures as the equipment is installed. Feel free to upload site pictures if you have visited the site, or were sent by another party, but understand that I will review the images and may remove if aren't associated with site". This would be similar to "Jobsite Instructions", but it would be to a different audience, mainly to those who aren't on site and need/provide digital information Review Source TE Tim E. President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "COL Review" June 17, 2024 5.0 The product is best in class and the customer support is always spot on. I never have long waits for answers and the ability to quickly reach an expert is very appreciated. Pros COL is a solid software all around. Very few softwares have the built in functionality in COL. If I was going to design proprietary software for my company, it would look and function very much like COL. Cons My only two complaints are the lack of more accounting integrations and the cap on projects. Having a few more options for third party integrations where COL doesn't have internal functionality would be a benefit. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing ConstructionOnline COL simply provided the best value and service of any vendor on the market. Procore doesn't even hold a candle to COL. Review Source NN Nick N. Owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "6 months in and starting to love it" January 11, 2024 5.0 It was intuitive to set up but also very labor intensive. Took me about eight weeks of 60 hour days to get the basics up and running. Pros Selections Easy to use Similar enough to others that users can learn it very quickly. Scheduling looks like it’s going to work very well. Would like to see scheduling by the hour not just by the day. Cons Payroll doesn’t import as they don’t link to Quickbooks online Doesn’t track subcontractor insurance policies Doesn’t provide lien waivers so we have to use a third system to get that No bid management system for gathering subcontractor bids, selecting and awarding subcontracts. It’s all very manual and thus very prone to error.

Switched from [Buildxact](https://www.capterra.com/p/173135/buildXACT/) BuildXAct worked great for estimating but as soon as we tried to use it for project management it fell flat on its face. Review Source DI David I. President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ivey Custom Homes - UDA Construction Online" March 13, 2024 5.0 Overall im very pleased with CO. I started out in 2003 or so with just the estimating program, so it has came a long way. Time spent with the system is efficient and user friendly. My employees picked it up quick and its used daily. Pros Just about everything now that the insurance tracking has been added. This will now allow all information to be in one place. Cons Really wish you could add WIP based accounting to the software so it would be more tailored to the industry. As a QB user, QB is somewhat generic for home building and the online version is even more. An all in one offering with accounting, heck i would pay more to have the integration in one package. Reason for choosing ConstructionOnline I tried Co-construct but we had issues with it and now buildertrend owns them. CO as a sales team, were not pushy or arrogant, like BT. So it's the only system i considered. Review Source JM Jeff M. Financial Construction Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product" August 29, 2023 5.0 Great! Pros Estimates and client invoicing are super easy to use Cons QBO synch, mobile app speed need a little work Alternatives considered [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Reason for choosing ConstructionOnline The schedule and estimate tools are better on Construction Online Switched from [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Procore is too complicated Review Source SF Steve F. President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Almost, but missed the mark" August 19, 2021 2.0 Customer service is very helpful for the product they have. Unfortunately they miss on some pretty basis stuff. We have been told for over a year that development team is working on some of the basic fixes and still nothing changes. Pros Estimation portion is good. Job costing is fair. Cons It does not have the ability to provide clients with add/alternate pricing. Seems like a very basic feature that most construction companies are asked to provide. This one slipped by us through all the demo's and we have been frustrated for over a year with this. Have to manually do work arounds. Also we are a commercial construction company that does about 300 jobs a year. The software does not even have the ability to assign each project a job #. With as many jobs going on, we have to be able to cost every purchase and we do that using job #'s and PO#'s. We are manually assigning each job a number. These are just two of the larger misses on this software. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing ConstructionOnline Procore was overkill for the size projects we were doing and we had been happy with Construction Suite. Learning curve to switch to CO was easier as alot of the estimating had similar look and feel to what we had been using. Review Source TF Tony F. Director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Construction Online" March 6, 2022 5.0 Overall, this has been a positive experience. We are far more organized, information seems to flow more easily between parties, and we have realized a more streamlined process. Pros We are a small GC entity for an owner/manager of commercial properties. Construction Online allows us to easily manage multiple projects simultaneously whether we are the GC or just the owner's rep. It ahs paid for itself just in tracking of change orders alone. The fact that we can have one place to with one easy interface to store and retrieve information is absolutely amazing. It has allowed us to be better at what we do in the field because we spend less time trying to organize job folders. Cons The scheduling portion was a difficult piece to get to function properly Trying to have predecessors, getting the Gantt chart to layout correctly, and the schedule to print properly were all too difficult. We purchased Microsoft Project as a result. Review Source DB Don B. ESTIMATOR & DESIGNER Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product, great value" February 1, 2023 5.0 The biggest benefit we've had is the collaboration of information. My field super no longer has to call asking about a PO, he can look online. He can submit back charges and VPO's to me for approval from his phone in the field. Communication amongst our team and to our subs is all in one place for all of us to see. Pros This product is really easy to use. The support is amazing. Even with seemingly simple questions, I can call or email them anytime and I always get the help I need. They have even worked with us to make the pricing options scalable for our needs. Transitioning from the desktop version to the online version was a daunting task but after I did it, I wish I would have done it sooner. The features available for our team to collaborate information is invaluable. Cons When I am in costbooks, I wish there was a way to click and drag items into new folders. The way it's set up now is a little time consuming. There also isn't a way to deactivate sub-categories in the estimates like there was in the desktop version or set sub-categories as allowances. Review Source TF Tyler F. Superintendent Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ConstructionOnline Superintendent Opinion" June 13, 2022 5.0 Overall great experience. The ease of use is nice and the fact that it doesn't contradict itself in its features is very nice. Quickly loads and moves from area to area with little to no confusion. I would certainly suggest this to potential buyers. Pros The ease of use and seamless transitions from one feature of the program to another. It's easy to understand and clear what each section is intended for. You can quickly access each feature via the very understandable titles, and further specify what section via the left hand menu once the item is selected. They are regularly updating and improving on functionality as well. Cons The mobile app will remove editing that is done on the website for daily logs. If you use bullets or numerals to keep things separated on the pc, then upload pictures from the mobile app to the same log, it will remove any bullets and spacing. Review Source JS John S. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "COL is Great" February 20, 2022 5.0 The support staff is amazing. I have always had great solutions to issues I come across here and there. The classes I took for the Quick Books integration were very helpful. We decided to change our entire book keeping around how socket exports to Quick Books. Pros I love the estimating. It keeps the estimate more organized than Quick Books. Adding notes and attaching proposals from other subcontractors and suppliers keeps the information all close by. Cons I don't care for having to edit every row line in the estimate so the description spacing can be larger than the Item and cost rows. I wish there was a way to change all of them at once in the top ruler of the editor. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Reason for choosing ConstructionOnline The look it has. It seemed to be easier for a client and the image to the client was nicer. It's like COL has the look of Mac and Procore has the look of Windows. Review Source AJ Aaron J. Biz Dev Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Construction Management Software" January 17, 2023 4.0 I like Construction Online and can't wait to see what it will improve into down the line. It's come a long way from where it was years ago. Pros My favorite feature is being able to access project information anywhere. You can see the schedule, tasks, pictures, and plans. Collaboration can happen quickly with it problem solving. Cons Data and Business Intelligence features could use some improvement, but that's the typical failing of the entire industry.

Project Coordinator and Estimator Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "UDA Review" July 1, 2024 5.0 My overall experience has been great, I was able to pick up on it rather quickly but am still learning new things along the way. Pros The usability of the platform. It is extremely user friendly and contains a lot of great features. I like being able to create custom templates for estimates so I do not have to re-create each estimate every time. Cons Sometimes when I am using UDA I have a hard time navigating the different options. I am fairly new to this platform so i am sure it will get better. Review Source ME Meredith E. Chief Administrative Officer Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New ConstructionOnline User " November 15, 2023 5.0 We have had a great experience with so far. From the sales team we worked with during the decision making process to the endless training and support we have received, our onboarding process has gone very smoothly and we love the functionality of the product and how we are using it to make our business successful. Pros has been a game changer for our small construction business. We finally have an online tool to estimate and track all of our jobs that all of the company stakeholders can see in real-time. Additionally, with our finance team working in a different location from the sales and operations teams, we can all enter data to contribute to the success of our projects. Cons Given that we are fairly new users, I don’t have any negative feedback this far. Both the full site and desktop versions have been great. In the near term we will be working to integrate with QuickbooksOnline which I’m hoping will go smoothly as well. Review Source JP Jordana P. Assistant Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thank you CO for making my Job easier :) " April 16, 2024 5.0 Pros I love how user friendly Construction Online is! I love how the CO team is always available for help or training and I love how CO takes account the consumers suggestions and implements them into the software for an even easier time! Cons Sometimes it times me out and shuts down. Review Source RH Randy H. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ConstructionOnline is Great" August 9, 2023 4.0 Pros I like that all the construction documents, estimates, and photos of progress is accessible in one place. Cons Sometimes when estimating a project-- certain items are zeroed out for no reason and it is critical that we catch this when it happens and it happens within every estimate that I do. Review Source CN Casey N. Marketing Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful software with a learning curve" September 2, 2022 5.0 The biggest benefit is everything being in one place. Pros The selection picker is definitely something we use a lot and helps keep the myriad of selections in a home organized, such that they can be sliced and diced by trade/room etc. Redline plan room we've recently starting using. The ability to do our own takeoffs is super handy. More than any feature, the support you get is invaluable. The team is always ready and willing to help you figure out how to use the software to meet your goals. The ability to have a set of shared plans is super helpful, as you can make field modifications in real time and have them reflected on all your coworkers plans as well, and vice-versa. Cons Construction Online doesn't \*look\* as user-friendly as say, Trello or Monday.com, but it has all the features and more. It takes considerable training to take advantage of all the capabilities and that makes it hard to adopt across a team that's busy doing other things. Making a lot of the features more user-friendly interface like would help. Bite-sized training, like pre-recorded sessions that introduce users to functions in an organized way, building on previous lessons would be helpful. The support is very helpful and willing to help you get started, but you need to know what you want to accomplish for them to guide you there. Starting fresh, you don't even know what you want yet.

Makes it easy to find stuff. Helps you stay organized. Keeps subs, vendors, owners, architects, vendors all on the same page. Pros I am a new user of this kind of software. A few months ago I did not even know that something like this existed. It has opened a whole new world for me and I am blown away by what this software can do. We demo'ed a few competing products before making a choice and it was the wide range of features at the most competitive price that sold us on . I especially like the messaging feature which is basically an email system dedicated to one specific project. Cons There is nothing I really dislike about , there are just some features I do not use as they do not meet my needs as a commercial general contractor. For example, I do not use Estimating and Change Orders as they seem to be less robust than some of the other software products. These features seem to be geared more towards the residential market. However, I realize it is hard to be everything for everyone. A feature, I think, that would be nice would be the ability to sign documents electronically. Maybe one can do it through Redline; if so, I have not been able to figure it out yet. As a general contractor one has to collect submittal packages from vendors and subcontractors, review them, and then attach a separate sheet to the package, that contains your stamp of approval/comments/signature on it, before you forward the submittal package on to the architect/engineer for review. On this submittal sheet there is space for the different reviewers to add their stamps as well. It would be nice if ConstructionOnline could generate this submittal sheet that you can attach to submittal packages sent to you. Currently, I generate the submittal sheet in another project management program, print it, place my stamp on it, sign it, scan it back into my computer, upload it to a pdf editor, add it to the submittal package file, and then upload the combined file to ConstructionOnline. It would be nice if you could do it all in ConstructionOnline. Review Source NS Nick S. Senior Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Constrction Online User Review" December 22, 2023 5.0 MY overall experience is a B+. I have really enjoyed this software and will continue to implement it throughout my career. Pros CO has been a major success within our company in regard to organization and communication. Cons There are a lot of features that have proven to be a bit tricky to fully understand. Scheduling is an example. I have found it difficult to fully grasp the predecessors and start vs finish date shifting.
