Pros Newforma is excellent project management and tracking tool, and I found the organization of the user interface to be extremely user friendly, and quick to understand. Cons The communication taking place via submittals or RFIs rather than an in-app messaging platform. It would be great to avoid email entirely if this feature was available on Newforma Alternatives considered [RForm](https://www.capterra.com/p/122152/Rform/) Reasons for choosing Newforma My team did a comparative analysis, and Newforma seemed to be more efficient and equally affordable Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

IT Manager Civil Engineering ### "Newforma Project Center" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 January 17, 2023 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. In times when email size restrictions plagued a lot of us, Newforma was absolutely awesome for us to deliver content to our clients. These days, we are almost exclusively using it for email filing and indexing (which is worth the cost of admission). The services team at Newforma is awesome and can help with deployments and integrations. The support team can be hit and miss, but are generally pretty good. The training team is amazing, and have done many many sessions with our staff over the years. Pros Primarily, we use newforma for email filing, which it does an excellent job at. It painlessly integrates into Outlook and is very easy to use. It makes digging up old project info a snap, especially if staff have since left the company. InfoExchange transfers and file sharing have previously been heavily used very successfully, but have largely been replaced by newer platforms (OneDrive, Sharepoint) within our organization. Cons The Newforma viewer leaves a lot to be desired. Employees were often frustrated with markup sessions and PDF editing abilities. This now also goes largely unused and has since been replaced by other viewers and markup tools (BlueBeam for example).

Construction Administrator Architecture & Planning ### "Construction Phase Management Software Geared Towards Architects" 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 7/10 February 18, 2022 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. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) [Buildr](https://www.capterra.com/p/207994/Buildr/) Reasons for choosing Newforma Newforma is by far the easiest to use for Architects. While it lacks items that Contractors prefer, such as the ability to tie-in to project accounting software, it serves most of the Architect's and in many cases the Owner's needs as well.

Contract Administrator Architecture & Planning ### "High Value - Simple User Interface." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 9, 2019 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.

We gave up near the end of the project and just emailed each other and the prime had someone at their office try to upload the information.
