Pros

  • The team has been exceptionally responsive and transparent, consistently providing clear communication and swift support whenever needed.

  • The team is responsive and quickly implements changes, improving the software and user experience. I highly recommend Buildern for anyone looking to enhance their building company's operations.

Cons

  • I have tried to provide the same feedback to Buildertrend in the past but it has fallen on deaf ears.

  • I will try to update this review once I do. I am personally used to using Microsoft Project, not sure if that makes me biased.

"I think this is it. "

Overall: Overall I have been satisfied and truly impressed. Using buildern has improved the customer experience we have been able to provide. It has also helped improved following up with vendors and subs to push them to stick to the schedule.

Pros: The team is amazing. I think this is the first CRM/ Project management tool that has developed what they said they would. When they told me they will roll out with a automated follow up feature in a month they actually did. The tool they have built out for managing potential projects in the pipeline is great. I think it has helped us better follow up with our customers and sign more jobs possibly. Different sections pull data as you progress minimizing double entry work. As soon as the contract is signed all the info is pulled into the project and filled out, ready to go. The budgeting and job costing tool is pretty robust and they have made significant improvements on it over the last few months. Comparing budget to actual is extremely easy to do as well. I think the biggest advantage is the improved communication this has allowed for between our clients and PM's, we all know communication is key, and we were not the best at it. I still think we have room to improve, the software just makes it easier.

Cons: I think the scheduling tool has room for improvment. I have talked to there dev team and they have mentioned that they are working on a few features, I have not seen anything yet. I will try to update this review once I do. I am personally used to using Microsoft Project, not sure if that makes me biased. I still prefer project for scheduling.

"Top Choice Project Management Software"

Overall: My experience with Buildern has been extremely positive. The software is intuitive and easy to learn, and the support team is always available, providing immediate assistance for any questions I've had. This has enabled a smooth transition from my previous software.

Pros: Buildern is an excellent construction management software that consistently updates and refines features based on user feedback. The team is responsive and quickly implements changes, improving the software and user experience. I highly recommend Buildern for anyone looking to enhance their building company's operations.

Cons: Some features are still in the development stages.

Reasons for Choosing Buildern: I switched to Buildern after years with another service where I saw little improvement. Within my first week at Buildern, the [sensitive content hidden] personally video-called me to discuss how the software could be enhanced. This direct approach and commitment to growth and user-driven refinement confirmed that fully investing in Buildern was the right decision for my company.
Switched From: Buildxact
Reasons for Switching to Buildern: When I signed up for Buildxact years ago, I was under the impression that minor issues and underdeveloped features would be refined over time. Unfortunately, I've observed very little improvement, and many persistent issues have not been addressed. The software was not meeting my needs, and the updates, once released, were often disappointing or misleading about the features they purported to offer. It felt as though they were just stringing users along.

"Buildern is a great software package with a lot of potential"

Cons: In the beginning it didn't fit all our needs, but with their upgrade it is now a lot more tailored to our needs

"Buildern is what we have been waiting for"

Overall: Fantastic. Buildern is eager to hear our feedback on functionality and how the software is working in the field.

Pros: Buildern allows us to be more transparent with our clients and their estimates by including overheads, insurances, and builder costs as a default, rather than dispersing these genuine business costs somewhere randomly within an estimate. Buildern's method of creating an assembly is far easier than other programs I have used. The home screen is very easy to navigate. Variations are easy to create and present clearly to the client.

Cons: Some features need to be refined to make them more efficient, such as integrating timesheets into Xero, a dashboard to see the scheduling for multiple projects running simultaneously using the same trades, etc. and hopefully down a CRM.

Alternatives Considered: Buildertrend
Reasons for Choosing Buildern: The cost of the alternate products was excessive, and after a demonstration of the software, we could see the powerful tool Buildern was tuning into
Switched From: Buildxact and Tradify
Reasons for Switching to Buildern: Buildern developers are truly listening to the industry and designing a platform that will overtake every other construction program

"Amazing Product"

Overall: This is the most wonderful product I have seen throughout my 25 years of experience in the construction market. Finally a comprehensive product that keeps you in their ecosystem without the need to use other products and accessories.

Pros: It's comprehensive, yet flexible, user friendly and meets 100% of my needs as a residential general contractor.

Cons: Some features are still under development, but the company is very responsive and works quickly to meet the needs.

Reasons for Switching to Buildern: We switched because of wider functionality and cost. Buildern offers much more with less cost.
