Document Specialist Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall works, but could use some interactive quality" December 9, 2021 4.0 Keeps things in one place Pros A place to store documents all together per project Cons It isn't interactive. You can't use it to police Review Source sH sandra H. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "a storage tool" December 9, 2021 4.0 over the years have experienced difficulties with redlining and retrieving redlines. have found it to be a pain to use at times Pros paying invoices is easy and quick to do. Cons the redlining function is terrible and cumbersome to use Review Source JR Jason R. Business Analyst Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "e-Builder has provided us with a simple tool to collaborate with the owners" April 25, 2019 5.0 We were able to collaborate with the owner on the project we were working on. Pros It is very easy for the end user to know what is in their court because there is a home screen and home court that you see all items in 'Your Court'. Cons Customer service is not very responsive and they usually take 2-3 days to respond to your request. Review Source BS Babiz S. Operations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use e-builder daily to manage construction projects totalling 100M. " January 5, 2018 5.0 Pros I like that it facilitates total transparency and real-time communication for ALL aspects of a project- from designers to quality control to finance to general contractor to contract administration. Cons It has a long learning curve. You have to really use it, a lot, to start to understand all the layers. Review Source HA HimaBindu A. Programmer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good Still need a lot of work" December 20, 2022 3.0 Pros Easy to Work With. I Feel like it can be improved at certain areas. Cons Easy to Work With. I Feel like it can be improved at certain areas like the Menu on the Admin Tools can be simplified. Review Source KB Kate B. Consultant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Software for Customization" January 24, 2017 4.0 The thing that I love most about e-Builder is how customizable it is. Unlike all of the other "out-of-the-box" management software systems I've seen, e-Builder is able to replicate your current processes online and make everything run more efficiently. And once things are up and running, you can easily see ways to improve your processes and quickly implement those changes. The icing on the cake of using e-Builder is the transparency it creates, leading to accountability on all sides. I wouldn't want to manage a project without it. Pros It's flexibility in customization. Cons Lack of flexibility in the Submittals module. Review Source MM Mike M. Construction Inspector Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Meh" December 9, 2021 5.0 Hard for an old guy like me to adapt and embrace. Pros Tons of features. Very versatile. Very user friendly after training Cons Kind of clunky at first. Very specific and difficult for non-technical users Review Source KL Kurt L. VP & Project Management Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of E-builder" January 30, 2023 2.0 PM for construction projects, for municipalities, MD & VA. Many municipalities are using it, but most are not happy with it. Many changing to Procure. Pros Really, nothing, not user friendly at all. Cons Not user friendly, logic is off, very hard to navigate. Review Source NK Najat K. Construction Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to navigate" December 9, 2021 5.0 It has been easy to use overall. Pros The ability to find everything easily and create our own filing system and process. Cons The details page of the project does not support unusual projects. Review Source KF Karen F. Project Assistant Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Support & Customer Service" December 10, 2021 4.0 I utilize e-Builder every day in order to process and track the capital expenditures for our projects. Pros e-Builder is very comprehensive in structuring the functions and file storage to allow the user to retain needed documentation in an organized system while quickly completing processes necessary to manage the capital expenditures of a project. Cons Occasionally the file system gets locked up and either duplicates files or doesn't allow the upload. This is usually addressed and corrected fairly quickly. Review Source MM Mairead M. Junior Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ebuilder Review" December 9, 2021 4.0 I have mostly good experiences with E-Builder, it makes it easy to review Construction related documents Pros Easy to navigate processes and find what tasks need to be completed Cons Can be difficult to find certain documents/contracts Review Source JS John S. Construction Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I am an engineer and use the software for roadway construction. It is a great toll for my purposes." March 22, 2018 4.0 Pros I like having all of the information for particular projects at my fingertips. I also like the notices I receive when items are in my court. The software also allows "ball in court" responsibilities to be tracked easily. I frequently use the report module as I over see several projects. I also like being able to access the software from my phone. Cons Depending on the time of day, the software response can be slow. This is probably a function of my internet connection. Review Source SC Steve C. Project Executive Program Development Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use e-builder for a specific project. It is the new Tennessee State Museum." June 30, 2017 5.0 It was like we all had an extra person that organized all of the project information. There are several very diverse team members (Museum Staff, Designers, Contractors, State Employees, etc.) and they all got good value from the product. The storage capacity for museum information was especially helpful. Pros I liked that we could "start from scratch" and not have to try to conform to some boiler plate software. Cons The calendar does not seem to be as functional as it needs to be. When meetings or attendees change, they don't update easily. Review Source NP Neel P. Principal Electrical Engineer Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Allows users to effectively manage construction projects" December 10, 2021 5.0 Overall great experience Pros Email notifications for assignments in the workflow Cons Limited features when delegating certain processes Review Source JM Joely M. Senior Structural Engineer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best program I have used to date for CSS" January 2, 2018 5.0 Pros I love being able to notify a group of people of a document upload with a click of a button. I also like that I can keep track of shop drawings per sheet. Cons Takes a little time to learn. If you change the work flow throughout the project life, it is a little complicated. Review Source JW John W. Design Project Manager Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Everyday User Commentary" November 30, 2021 3.0 Pros Some things are simple enough, but others hard to utilize. Cons Trying to find things again. Verbiage is not definitive enough to know where to finds things. Review Source AB April B. Admin Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product" January 30, 2023 4.0 Pros Easy to use, user friendly, helps keep track of everything. Cons The program can be slightly slow at times, possibly bogged down by too much data or users. Review Source JR Jason R. Business Analyst Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "e-Builder is a fantastic product for our airport" December 17, 2021 5.0 Overall, our experience has been pleasant Pros The workflows work well with our business processes Cons Customer service and support is probably my least favorite part Review Source SM Susan M. Administrative Project Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use eBuilder for document management and submittals " March 15, 2018 4.0 Pros The software is very user friendly and easy to use. I especially like the drag and drop feature when uploading files. Cons There are a number of customer support people who do not have very good product knowledge. The last call I made, I ended up explaining to the customer support rep how I resolved the issue on my own. He had no clue. It's annoying when you call for help and you know more about the software than the eBuilder person you are talking to. Review Source BP Brian P. Director, Facilities Mgmt Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Software that has some underlying constraints" September 28, 2017 3.0 Pros The product has been very easy to use and our overall adoption has been relatively quick. It has allowed us to move from managing capital projects through Excel to a more unified format for reporting, documentation, and project governance. Cons The reporting has not been as flexible out of the box as we had hoped. Even though the information no longer resides on Excel, we are still importing data from eBuilder into Excel to provide the needed flexibility in reporting. This has also hindered the process of creating dashboards that provide the needed information to executive staff. Data Integrations have also been a challenge. We hope that the new API roll out will be helpful in integrating data from our PeopleSoft financial system. Review Source CS Chris S. Asst Director Small Projects & Internal Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This is a fantastic tool. I wish our organization would use it to its true potential." January 3, 2018 5.0 better project communication and accountability. Pros Ability to keep project related information in a single location. To keep track of items and whose court they are in for action. Cons The submittal module. Perhaps a slimmed down version that allows for single item submittals for smaller projects. Having to continually create a register and use packages is cumbersome when you have a smaller number of submittals. Review Source NM Neihlee M. Project Management Systems Coordinator Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our second attempt at a PM Software and we couldn't be happier!" September 28, 2017 5.0 Pros The ability to adapt to our ever changing business processes without having to have eB make the changes for us. Cons Cost. I have a hard time justifying to our management/auditors the cost of this program but more specifically the cost of integrations and maintenance. ONLY because e-Builder will not provide hourly pricing rates for their development costs--which is pretty much the industry standard. Review Source WE Willard E. Project Manager Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DWL Architects & Planners, Inc. of New Mexico - Albuquerque Public Schools" October 26, 2016 5.0 I have utilized e-Builder as a User in the provision of contracted architectural and engineering planning, design and construction administration and observation services since January 2013 and have during that time frame experienced a cloud based information management tool which has grown with the needs of its Users and responded to inputs. The "Processes" initially were not intuitive to myself I have found them improved over time. File naming protocols and time line filing of documents would help with consistency project to project. But these are likely Client (your) driven parameters. Pros User friendly and for the most part an ease of use navigating through different phases of services provided to the client under a professional services contract Cons Nothing specific comes to mind, the sequencing of construction submittal document file names and retention within project files Review Source DS David S. Field Manager Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "e-Builder" December 9, 2021 3.0 Pros Tracking invoices. You are able to review previous invoices. Cons Timelines. The timelines will shift as deadlines change. Review Source RB Ron B. Inspector Used the software for: 2+ years ### "great experience. I like using e-builder " March 20, 2018 5.0 Pros easy to use and the layout is great and easy to understand. navigation is smooth. the attachments is easy to do and find. The customer support is great and responds in a timely fashion. the font is easy to read and understand. multiple drop boxes are useful Cons sometimes work doesn't save correctly. I would put in a report and sometimes it doesn't save and I have to re submit the report Review Source Similar Products Featured
