### "Easy to Use Inexpensive Construction Management Tool."

April 22, 2023

4.0

Pros

I like how easy the software is to use. Contractor foreman has great training options to get set up and using it quickly. The price is very reasonable with no upfront fees for set up. It’s honestly worth it just for it’s estimating tool.

Cons

Overall the software is very easy to use. The most difficult part is learning which parts of the software to use when.

### "Powerful Construction Management Software"

March 1, 2023

5.0

I have been really impressed with Contractor Foreman. It is a powerful software and they have a great support team ready to help guide you through the setup process.

Pros

I previously used Procore; however, when I launched my own company I started looking for alternatives. That is how I found Contractor Foreman. It has just as much functionality for a fraction of the cost. It is also more user-friendly in my opinion and helps engage clients better.

Cons

I have noticed a few minor bugs in the mobile app and the user interface could be better while uploading photos.

November 14, 2022

I am very happy with the experience with Contractor Foreman it is helped us keep track of our business and helped us with our bidding process

Pros

I like that I know when people have clocked in where they’ve clocked in at and where they have clocked out at also he keeps track of the hours they have and their vacation. Also like how it keeps track of project budgeting

Cons

Is sometimes that the phone does not login or is unable to clock in but the great news it is easy to fix once you get better service or when it get back on line

### "Great product"

November 15, 2022

4.0

We've been happy with CF. We mainly wanted a program to help us job cost and would allow the guys to clock in and out and keep track of their time. We renewed our contract with CF and have not even looked elsewhere.

Pros

We appreciate how easy it is to work within CF. The guys can clock in and we can track their time easily, we can enter jobs from estimate to project easily. CF produces professional emails to send out to customers.

Cons

We really don't have many complaints, the only thing we feel could be improved is the CRM side.

September 4, 2023

Wish I had found this years ago. The best software I have used and I have compared several.

Pros

Ease of use, easy to understand and implement. GREAT PRICE!

Cons

It has everything I need at this time. There is nothing I can think of that I need.

Reason for choosing Contractor Foreman

Overall features provided were incredible compared to others and a far better price. The company provided so much information, that it was easy to know that Contractor Foreman was what fit best for my company. It had everything we needed to properly manage all aspects of our custom home building company.

Reason for choosing Contractor Foreman

I thought after speaking to them That it was a free trial and their would be no problem it was so simple to set up and use And that I could cancel at anytime It was a monthly charge It is not a monthly charge Pay as you use system Android they do not tell you that verbally when you ask They say if yea it is a very inexpensive charge per month So sales men only They don’t care About what you need or want And so anting for the sell Good luck Pick field wire

### "Lots of Capabilities that do not work"

November 8, 2022

3.0

Would not recommend for the sake of lack of help from their customer service when CRUCIAL problems appear (which happens a lot)!

Pros

Lots of features that we have been looking for

Cons

The features work really well in theory but not so much in practice. Integrations with QB are the worst while financials are the most important to the company! Having faced a lot of issues with software, I am spending half of my day talking to customer support. They are able to fix some issues, but it is really annoying that I need to waste so much time for them to fix the issue while they cannot admit that the platform has a lot of bugs and the user himself is not and will not be able to fix problems. The WORST part is that when customer service is not able to assist which happens VERY OFTEN, they request to send email to their customer support. Weeks go by and there is no response. When I reach out to them again, it seems like they have no notes and they start over asking questions, submitting duplicate requests and keep promising to fix the issue. With so many great capabilities it is a shame they are not able to get it together and really take care of their existing clients.

### "Changed my business for the better"

March 2, 2022

5.0

This software is just as powerful as the big names (procore, buildertrend) and cost much less. Every month there's a massive list of new and improved features, and the product really does get better each time. I'd like to see time cards a little more user friendly as my hourly guys constantly forget to clock in and out, and it's a bit of a hassle to make corrections.

Pros

Extremely customizable, gives the ability to create either very detailed specific estimates (line item) or lump sum with a single click. GPS tracked time punches, group chat, real time photo uploads, customer portals.

Cons

Confusing and needlessly complicated time cards, gps only tracks at punches and does not ping employees, PDF estimates could be a tad prettier.

Reason for choosing Contractor Foreman

Mostly price, Contractor Foreman does everything the other guys do and cost about 75% less for the amount of users I needed. For the price there's nothing that even comes close to what this program is capable of

Review Source

Response from Contractor Foreman

April 1, 2022

Thanks Paul for the awesome reviews. To help with time cards, we do have click-in and clock-out reminders. We also have the ability to automatically insert a break as well as the ability to clock out automatically after a certain amount of time. To enable these options, go to Time Cards > Settings. Thanks again and we appreciate your great feedback.

Its been a process understanding how it was design. How to input the information.Customs forms are great.But still needs more options for the retainage applied on invoices.

Pros

Budget, cost and progress controlTimecards with cost code assigment

Cons

Still missing the Materials or warehouses controlTo track inventory vs Daily logs.And automatically suggest to buy more materials(the most commonly used)

### "CF Review"

January 25, 2022

4.0

So far it seems to have most of everything that we need!

Pros

So far i love that we can integrate G Cal I wish though that we could send out cal invites to customers or people that are not CF users. i do still have to get into the g cal to do that.

Cons

How we cannot just check of a task from the main dashboard. there should be a little circle or something that we could check and it would complete the task and take it off your main page. Microsoft todos is a good example.

### "New Contractor Foreman User"

June 10, 2021

5.0

The training people at Contractor Foreman have been a pleasure to work with. The certainly understand our business and terminology. This has been a very good fit for our company.

Pros

We are just starting with the implementation of this software and doing as many training videos as possible. So far, we are very pleased with the ease of integration to our business, but it is going to take us some time to be fully integrated and have all of us using the system properly.

Cons

The length of time that it will take us to master the system. I wish we could become much more proficient within a few weeks, but I think it's going to take us much longer to be using all of the features properly.

Reason for choosing Contractor Foreman

Cost was a big deciding factor, but I felt like Contractor Foreman is more intuitively understandable to me and our type of business. They use the same terminology as we do and I feel like everyone that I have spoken with are actually contractors and not just a computer programmer selling their product, but understand how we need to solve our problems.

[Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/)

We had dropped BuilderTrend about a year ago when Covid hit and we had to let some people go due to our workload. The cost to keep that program going was just not worth it to me. Once our work picked back up again, I wanted to keep our monthly costs lower and found that I liked Contractor Foreman much better than BuilderTrend.

### "Game changer"

June 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

The Projects tab helps you monitor and manage everything from scheduling resources to close out, and with the ability to customize the module to fit your style of management it truly makes it feel as though you and the technology are on the same page!

Cons

I’m hoping they will add a takeoff function to the software, this would just make it more robust and necessary to a contractor and subcontractors.

November 17, 2022

5.0

Overall I would say its an a mazing project and very complete.

Pros

The best part of this program is that you can track every stage of your project and everything is summarize in one project. I find that very helpful when you're trying to organize your business.

Cons

I find that the Gantt Chart need some work, I've tried to implement it on my office and its difficult because of the bugs.

### "Cost-Effective With Great Features"

August 8, 2022

5.0

Been using CF for a few months now and so far me and my team have been happy with this software and its support team. Prior to choosing CF, we looked at a series of different software's, and no other software in the market was the same or even close to the price of CF. Although the alternative software's in the market have many more advanced features than CF, they were also extremely expensive. One major thing we like about CF, is the number of users they offer with all plans rather than being "pay per user". CF offers all the construction management tools you need, although I wish there was more customizability within, however, it does get the job done right. If your a larger contractor (15M+) then you might want to look at alternatives to CF as it may be too small of a software for large volume contracts. However, I highly recommend CF for smaller contractors and specialty trades, as there is no other software in the market which provides these features at this value. (Trust me I looked at all options).

Pros

\-Very good number of users offered with all plans. -Continues software updates and support -Great overall construction management modules -Great for small contractors Overall, this software does the job for small contractors, and there are no other software's available at this price range.

Cons

\-No module customizability -Not enough interface customizability -Not enough template customizability -Poor document storage

### "Fantastic ROI"

March 16, 2021

5.0

So far, fantastic. We are excited to see already what this software is able to do as well as find out what else it can do that we aren't aware of yet.

Pros

A whole lot of functionality all in one place. I like having a single place for myself, subs, and clients to access the information needed.

Cons

Seems there's some redundancy. Not sure if I missed it, but a quick start training to estimating would be beneficial. Example - it's easy to find "estimates" and create one, but if you do this outside of opportunities you will have to manually tie the estimate to the project later. There should be a best practice that shows how to utilize the system in the most efficient manner to save time.

Reason for choosing Contractor Foreman

ROI. Overall cost for the benefits received. Fantastic customer service and willingness to improve for the client. And lastly, it felt more like a perfect fit for my company size. Other programs we looked into seemed like they were either made for a single trade construction company with multiple crews (i.e., electrical, plumbing, hvac, etc) and could essentially be jerry rigged to fit a general contractor, or were designed for large construction companies that have a lot of office employees that have time to sit at a computer all day.

So for it has been great.

Pros

Overall, I have used many different programs and Contractor Foreman is by far the smoothest and easiest to use. Also the cost is much less and that is a big factor for business these days.

Cons

There are a few issues that I am not crazy about. First is the navigating around. Second is the fact that there are certain sections that will not sync with each other. I also do not like the way that attachments show and you cannot print directly from the attachment.

It took me a little time to get what i needed figured out, i still have a lot i could be using CF for. but for now it has been great!

Cons

i had some complaints before and i did send it over to them and i believe they took my consideration and used it because it has been easier to use. The one thing i would have change is the Header when it comes to my invoice/estimating, I had to upload a picture of what i wanted and they were able to help display it but is still missing a few contact information. just wish it was easier to manage/make adjustments

I use Contractor Foreman everyday. I believe it elevates our business, saves us time, and is an overall great tool that keeps adapting, growing, and changing as needs arise.

Pros

Contractor Foreman helped centralize our business into one online area, its our digital office. It allowed us to get more in depth with our estimates, schedule of values, scheduling, time cards, and more.

Cons

I would like a feature to have estimates include both Unit prices and an internal breakdown without having to create two separate estimates.

### "Overall View of Contractor Foreman"

April 28, 2021

5.0

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WONDERFUL!!!! It is wonderful to call, send an email, or live chat and get a response! We are just a few days into our trial and have had such great customer service! We had a live training on Monday of this week. It was very informative and helpful.

Pros

Ease of use of product. We have been using 3 different programs and paying monthly for them before we found Contractor Foreman. We are still trying to figure out a lot of the features but so far the customer service has been outstanding. We like the fact if we are confused in any part of the program, the live chat feature has been great. We can send a chat and get our help immediately. We are also a fan of the Live Training! In our opinion we feel like the Live Training and the on line Video training is great!

Cons

Would like more ease of linking leads to calendar without so many steps. Suggestion: To be able to double click in the calendar to set up a lead and have a dropdown to link it automatically to the lead screen without having to add in two places. As stated before we are new to the program so I am sure we will fine more cons along the way.

Reason for choosing Contractor Foreman

We believe it is going to work the best for us at this time. Better than other programs we have worked with.

March 22, 2024

5.0

Pros

I am still new to the platform but what I like is the amount of robust features that are available and the customization that you can do within the platform. I would also add that their customer service and training materials are very helpful and makes learning the system easier. They seem to have thought about a lot of details for their users making the workflows within the program easy to pickup on.

Cons

So far I haven't experienced many downsides. One roadblock that I have ran into is not finding a way to input my crews time in a bulk action. This could be a solvable problem, I just haven't found the answer yet. Additionally, in my line of work, the pay rates can change between jobs and I havent found a good way to track that yet. I plan on reaching out to their customer service to assist me with finding these answers!
