Newforma Project Center Reviews
Pros
Primarily, we use newforma for email filing, which it does an excellent job at.
These two features are very easy and clear to use and I think are a key component as to why customers keep coming back.
We receive confirmation that a document has been uploaded (ie. submittals). This is a nice feature as you can be assured that the process is working.
Newforma is GREAT for architects and engineers.
Cons
We've used Newforma Project Center since 2011. A lot has changed technologically over the years, and we feel that Newforma is falling a bit behind lately.
The only downside is that it can definitely be confusing if you aren't tech savvy. It took me a couple days to be able to fully navigate the website.
Was a stand alone resource, not linked into the Project Management apps we used on the project.
Unfortunately, we are compelled to use both until Newforma catches up on modules relevant to construction administration. The mobile apps were weak the last time I tried them.
"Ensure Effective and Timely Completion of your Projects with Newforma Project Center"
Overall: It is a great product that helps one to handle multiple projects concurrently without any stalling or lagging behind.
Pros: It enhances effective completion of projects
Cons: It has a little learning curve before one can start using it
"Construction Phase Management Software Geared Towards Architects"
Overall: The ability to manage the submittal and RFI process is key to risk management during the construction phase. These two features are very easy and clear to use and I think are a key component as to why customers keep coming back. Various other software programs have the ability to keep track of drawing revisions better and mark-up RFI responses within the set of contract documents, but those items typically fall under the responsibility of the contractor.
Pros: The software's initial set-up is geared most towards what architects need to manage during the construction phase - RFI's, submittals, field reports, change orders, etc. The ability to have the contractor assign submittals directly to consultants is a key component to minimizing the review time and freeing up cumbersome digital paper-pushing that is prevalent with other online software programs.
Cons: I believe that the software's ability with regards to internal field report creation and construction deficiency tracking is still lacking. For those items I still use other software applications.
"Slow, unintuitive, buggy"
Pros: I assume because it is more affordable than alternatives.
Cons: Slow to load and navigate. Frequent redundant and counterintuitive actions are needed. Very limited report customization. Crashes expected when using markup software.
"High Value - Simple User Interface."
Overall: Simple and user friendly.
Pros: Unlimited users for single project account. Facilitates Allows submittals and RFI to be directed to appropriate CA contact amongst disciplines.
Cons: ConstructEx is unable to receive and send content through email. Unable to thumbnail preview drawings. Unable to share drawing mark ups as do other platforms. Unable to use for punch lists easily. Ability to track open ageing issues created in field report module needs improvement. Field reports, printed, include only thumbnail sized inserted images, instead of the larger size available viewed online.
"Amazing way to track and send project information"
Pros: Sending bulk drawings or issuances to project team members with transmittals.
Cons: There is a learning curve to navigating but quick to get the hang of.
