Cons when editing a schedule the program does not allow you to edit multiple lines, always need to refresh and then edit the next task Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor January 16, 2019 Lee, we appreciate the review, and you being with us for over a decade ! Yes, there are instances where you need to open a task to make certain edits, however, you also have the "do this" control in the top right which allows you to perform functions on multiple selected tasks. Options in this drop down menu can save hours when you're applying changes, adding contacts, updating task statuses to several tasks at once. PS Pierre S. Project Manager ### "It has improved communication between sub-contractor, site supervisors and Longwood in many ways." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 23, 2018 Pros I've been using BuildIT for over 10 years. It's user friendly and priced right. It simplifies the daily monitoring of our construction schedules.. Those schedules can be copied from templates and modified if needed with BuildIT. They have a library of documents that helps me save time and are easy to use and share with our sub-contractors and employees. BuildIT can add or modify documents to your needs. It also gives our sub-contractor access to all the files and tasks related to each jobs. Like working drawings, sketches and changes. They have the option to add notes to the tasks and upload files, inspections reports and more by them selves. I had an option designed by BuildIT that gives all my sub-contractors access to enter the names and informations of their employees. They can also keep records of the Health and Safety trainings required by law and upload copies of their certificates on BuildIT. You can set up BuildIT to give full access to every site supervisors, of all the schedules, documents of every jobs under construction. With the links tagged to every sub-contractor's contact info, my site supervisors have access to all their required documents needed on site when having the Ministry of Labour doing site inspections, like, form 1000 and all the required Health ' Safety trainings. Cust service has always being there to help me when I had issues which was very rare or when they have designed new options for our needs. Cons BuildIT is designed for smaller contractors. It has a few restrictions when you build between 25 to 80 units a year and have between 2 to 6 different sites going at the same time. Sometimes, I wish I would have a bit more flexibility to do some changes or make some modifications to adapt to my needs as a builder. But other then that, It works perfect for me. All that being said, the sub-contractors loves it, my staff loves it and so do I. I have done a lots of searching and sometimes I even check what is new out there, but I haven' found any other product that is user friendly, affordable and fulfilled our needs like BuildIT. BuildIT has been and will still be a very important tool for our company for years to go.

President ### "We have used it for years and have been pleased with it." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 22, 2018 Pros The software is intuitive and easy to use. Upgrades throughout the years have been thoughtful and relevant. Cons The only negative is that each of our users can see the other user's info. But that could be changed if we purchased multiple copies of the software. We do not however wish to do that and do not consider it necessary for the way we use it. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor January 16, 2019 Thanks Brenda for your review and all the years you've used BuildIT for your unique business model of helping owner-builders. We do have several user account types whereby User A can only see the schedule for their project, not User B's, and vice versa. With a quick configuration change and some training, this may work better for your situation. RR Ricardo R. Q.C. Construction ### "The system works well as long as the trades imputing the info are updating it regularly. The formany" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 January 22, 2018 The Company I Work for find it really useful, I end up using it on a regular basis, in general it does the job Pros I'm able to see different sites progress in real-time, this is important because we usually have more than one site at the time Cons That I have to sign in to reply to emails when I get a notification from build it. I usually never do and I end up replying from my personal email account Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor January 16, 2019 Ricardo, always appreciate your feedback. True, you do need to sign in / be authenticated whenever you are on BuildIT, whether the wide screen / desktop version, or the mobile / smartphone app. We can increase the time you are logged in and idle but for security purposes, we do run a timer and after a period of idleness, we force a time out. You can set your web browser to auto-fill your username/password combo, making login quick and easy. AU Anonymous User Owner ### "BuildIt is a simple and easy way to share and manage my construction schedules." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 19, 2018 Pros I have been using BuildIt as a contractor building 20-30 homes per year. We have a small team and we are able to be on the same page with this software. Cons There are some advanced features offered by competitors that would be nice, but are ultimately unnecessary for a business of my size. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor January 17, 2019 Great review. The "Con" is actually a "Pro" - BuildIT is a niche software system focused on scheduling and collaboration. Many features offered by mid level project management suites are not "benefits" to BuildIT customers. Stacey D. Partner / Production Manager ### "This software is so easy to use, and makes managing my business operations a breeze!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 19, 2018 Instant information, from anywhere you have an internet connection! Pros What I like most about this software is the adaptability it has to make what ever task you need to do, achievable. From various reports, to working documents, to specific scheduling tasks, this tool is very powerful in running a business effectively and efficiently. Buildit Systems is an internet based software, so you can see everything that is going on, at any time, from anywhere you have an internet connection. Cons Some of our documents have a lot of information, and touch screen options built in them, so it is expected that they will take longer to open and save when updates are made. If those were to speed up, then, there would be nothing I could say that is negative. I really cannot be negative about the speed because of the time it saves filling out those documents, so a small sacrifice really!

It fit's the construction flow. We could set it up for the way we build and it helps us keep track of the progress and not miss a beat! The support staff are so friendly and easy to get ahold of if needed.

AU Anonymous User Manager ### "I find Build-it very user friendly and team is always available to help out if needed" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 16, 2018 This software enables me to keep everything organized within the company. We keep all our files, emails, work orders etc. all on Build-it. This way everyone can access everything whenever they want. Eliminates trying to find old files in a filing cabinet or a box somewhere. Pros I like the integration of our emails through the software. I also like that it is web based so you can log-in from anywhere that you have internet access. No need to have the program downloaded onto a computer. Cons I can't say there is anything that I really don't like about the software. There are always some little quirks that some people may not like but nothing that really stands out. I guess the only thing is that it's not available in app format yet, but it is coming soon!

Response from Vendor January 17, 2019 Update: BuildIT mobile / smartphone app launched early 2018 - access at https://m.builditsystems.net We offer this complimentary to our wide screen / desktop app. AU Anonymous User Operations Manager-Purchasing/Scheduling Specialist Construction ### "This is a great site and the support is amazing and fast to respond" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 January 16, 2018 The ease of being able to see where a job is in the build process. Having all the files accessible to the rest of the staff without having to go to a hard file down the hall, that takes to much time. This program has been a huge benefit to our company AND the support team is great to help anytime. Pros The support team having everything we need to look at on the home screen and being able to customize per users as to what they see on the home screen that makes their job quicker. Each person has the ease of making their screen what they need to see. It is very easy to see what has been ordered, by going into the files, the dashboard is a great addition. Having the ability to add the subcontractor or supplier to the specific task at hand. Making of the templates is very easy to access and complete. We have used it for 5 yrs and it gets better all the time. As is every new program it does come in time but the support team is the best, he is very knowledgeable and they are always trying to improve the program. The company in whole has been very pleased to have all the information at their fingertips. It gives everyone the ability to see exactly where a specific lot is in the building process to update and answer any questions that there buyers might have. Cons There isn't a phone app, Having the superintendents out in the field, using the online version was a little difficult for them. You can't take pics from your phone and edit them. It does take some time and dedication to get to know the program as does any other program. It is not easy to edit something once it has been uploaded into the program. if any changes need to be made it does need to be done and then re entered into the program. You can buy an additional program that will do it but it is another expense. Once you get used to using the program it is a great tool for the company.
