PERMIT TECHNICIAN Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All-in-One Construction Project Management Platform" May 5, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Buildertrend has been positive. It’s a powerful all-in-one construction management platform that improves organization, communication, and project tracking. While there’s a learning curve and cost considerations, it greatly enhances efficiency and workflow once implemented. Pros What I liked most about Buildertrend is how it centralizes project management. It makes scheduling, communication, budgeting, and document sharing easy in one platform, helping construction projects stay organized and on track. Cons One downside of Buildertrend is that it can feel complex for new users, with a learning curve during setup. It can also be costly for smaller teams, especially when adding advanced features. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing Buildertrend We chose Buildertrend because it was more user-friendly, more affordable, and better suited for residential projects. Compared to Procore, CoConstruct, and JobTread, it offered easier adoption, strong all-in-one tools, and better day-to-day workflow for our team. Review Source Julieann L. Office manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Buildertrend - All in One Project Management System " January 28, 2026 4.0 Overall Buildertrend is indispensable to our business. The mobile app is easy to use for our field crew and the portal is crucial to managing and tracking project costs Pros Buildertrend does a great job with organizing the portal to mirror a construction project from lead to completion. The sales tab has everything you need to effectively manage leads with sections for notes, schedule follow ups and log conversations. Other than what you would expect in the project management tab (schedule, to-dos), what we find most helpful are the daily logs and client updates. Client updates feature is very popular with our clients and the AI feature to pull photos and generate a summary for the client is gold. The cost inbox is another favorite feature of ours. It is one big container for all receipts where they can, one by one, be assigned to the correct job. Cons The reporting section is improving but still needs more robust and reliable reporting. Sometimes Buildertrend’s eagerness for constant improvement makes the portal more convoluted and makes some features redundant. For example, there is the ToDos feature and the Tasks feature. Also the cost inbox and the ability to drag or upload a receipt in the bills section is too much. I also would like to see a more robust, customizable and visually appealing Builder Dashboard as there currently isn’t one, really. The cost (about $800/ month) is hard to justify sometimes Switched from [Buildxact](https://www.capterra.com/p/173135/buildXACT/)[Smartsheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/79104/Smartsheet/) We needed something that covered all our wants and needs for project management Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Admin Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Comprehensive and Efficient Construction Management" April 8, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Buildertrend has been very positive. It’s a comprehensive platform that keeps construction projects organized, from scheduling and budgeting to communication with clients and teams. While it takes a little time to get fully comfortable with all the features, once you do, it significantly improves efficiency and project visibility. For anyone managing construction projects, it’s a powerful and reliable tool. Pros What I like most about Buildertrend is how all-in-one the platform is for construction project management. It streamlines scheduling, budgeting, and communication between teams and clients, which saves a lot of time. I also appreciate the mobile app—it makes it easy to update projects, track progress, and share documents on the go. Overall, it keeps everything organized and accessible in one place. Cons The main drawback of Buildertrend is that it can be overwhelming at first due to the sheer number of features and options. Review Source DB Dillon B. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Buildertrend for the win! " April 7, 2026 5.0 Our company used us for several months and got great feedback from most of our clients about its reporting features and it made us more organized in how we managed projects. Pros I liked the customer view of the daily report being a single page report about their project. It was very clean and the automatic emails sending out the report was a nice feature! Cons Its scheduling function works but can be very simple. When working on larger commercial projects it won’t allow for the complexity needed. Switched from [ConstructionOnline](https://www.capterra.com/p/160201/ConstructionOnline/) Looking for more value for our dollar spent Review Source RB Ryan B. Co-Owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good product ruined by bad design" April 14, 2025 2.0 Overall the product sucks but the support is great. Also way too expensive. Pros It has a lot of great features, and support is excellent. Cons The product user experience is absolutely awful. It's a hard product to learn how to use, and there is like 10x more clicking that there needs to be. Very frustrating to use on either desktop or mobile.

Switched from [CompanyCam](https://www.capterra.com/p/171143/CompanyCam/)[monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Too many products in the mix, we wanted to consolidate to one product. Review Source Ricardo D. CEO Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rigid Contracts and Zero Empathy: A Warning for New Contractors" May 1, 2026 1.0 Buildertrend markets themselves as a partner for construction growth, but my experience as a small business owner has been the opposite. Despite paying for six months of service while having zero active projects, they refused to exercise the 'sole discretion' suspension clause (Section 4.6) in their own contract to provide temporary relief during a cash flow crisis. I have paid thousands for a service I never used operationally, and their legal department’s only response was to enforce the remainder of the annual debt. They prioritize rigid payment installments over the actual success or survival of the companies they serve. Review Source TH Todd H. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product" May 6, 2025 5.0 It has made our process more professional, been the deciding factor in closing some of our sales and helped us track jobs more efficienly. Pros proposals, job costing, scheduling. Excellent tool to communicate with clients and track jobs. We have sold jobs because we had BT! Cons There is so much functionality I don't use it to it's fullest and the "college" only occurs in one place that is far from our location in Florida. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[Houzz Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/199689/Houzz-Pro/) Reason for choosing Buildertrend Fit our needs better and it was easy to set up and use. Review Source hL hunter L. General Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Construction management software " February 4, 2025 3.0 Great customer service, ease of use, work flow, and speed from server. Pros Its easy time clock function. Its take off feature Cons No taxes on estimates and invoices and lack of flexibility with fixed costs and time and materials or projects with multiple contracts or different structures. Alternatives considered [Houzz Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/199689/Houzz-Pro/) Reason for choosing Buildertrend Seemed like a better fit.

Pros It keeps all our job info in one place. Very user friendly. They have an academy which is super helpful for training new staff. Cons They update the features a lot and the newer versions aren't always better. Review Source LD Leslie D. accounting Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buildertrend Tax issues" April 8, 2025 3.0 The BT people are great. The trainers are great. But the product was lacking for us. Pros It may be a good program for a builder in USA Cons It does not seem to fit the electrical field very well. Also, they assured us that their platform could handle Canadian tax. If you are from Canada, I suggest you ask some hard questions before you onboard. After training for several months, we finally realized that we were not going to be happy with BT. The one and biggest complaint was that they had a very clunky way of handling Canadian tax. They did not seem to be interested in correcting it.

More power on one site Review Source MW Mark W. Owner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Used for following job progress" May 25, 2025 4.0 I’ve been tracking progress and sending updates through this. Sometimes I also log deliveries or check the timeline when things are moving fast. Pros It’s great that I don’t have to send a million photos. Everyone can check where things are at. Clients like it too, they don’t always get construction stuff but the pictures help. Cons Took me a while to get the calendar and schedule side working. I kept messing up dependencies between tasks, things were shifting weird. Review Source BC Bertha C. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buildertrend" March 31, 2025 5.0 Since working with Buildertrend, I have learned many things. It is easy to understand and always had access to assistance. Pros easy to understand. great tutorials. customer service access. Cons I do not have anything to comment because I do not have anything I liked least. Review Source LM Leisa M. Assembly Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Construction Company review" April 14, 2025 3.0 Mediocre experience, the customer service was great however they could be better with pricing and initial trial period. Pros I liked the idea of having a client portal that i could setup for clients to use. Cons The bulky nature of the system, it looks initially very easy to cross contaminate information through to areas you don't want information stored. They also don't give you any time to learn the system before you have to pay the subscription, i would have been more likely to sign up longer if they gave me time to learn it properly. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) We needed a more advanced system to input the required data and client portal capability Review Source SM Samantha M. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "BuilderTrend" May 13, 2025 5.0 Pros The mobile app is often cited as a strength, allowing field workers, subcontractors, and project managers to update tasks, add photos, and communicate on the go. Cons Some find the UI to be cluttered or unintuitive, especially when switching between desktop and mobile. Review Source KR Karic R. Project manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great scheduling tool for home builder" April 14, 2025 5.0 Great software if you are a home builder, not so much for larger commercial and land development. Pros Very easy to use, it is usefriendly. You can manage the schedule from the app and all the subs get notified right away. Cons I like it, but my sub contractor did not like it because of the consistent notices on their phone. Review Source CS Corey S. Owner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use" October 3, 2018 5.0 Great product for small company Pros Easy to use, love the interaction between the customers. Support was great, anytime we had a question CoConstruct staff had answers. I like how each user can have their own ID and photo. Cons The site could be simplified a bit more. There are too many ways to complete a certain task. The notification task weren't as specific as I would have liked. Review Source NEA Nicole Elin A. Landscape design and sales Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buildertrend is amazing for landscape designers and contractors" February 4, 2025 5.0 I’ve been using Buildertrend for five years now and I love it. I can’t imagine working as a landscape, designer and contractor without it. Pros I love that you can customize the names of the clients and you can add as many photos as you want. The organization is really great and the payments when synced with QuickBooks is amazing. Cons The filters stay put and don’t reset so sometimes you’re stuck in one search Review Source JD Jake D. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Project Management Made Easier" March 11, 2025 5.0 We love Buildertrend because it helps us manage our business efficiently. Pros It provides simple scheduling that can be used repeatedly for similar projects. Cons It does not integrate with our accounting software (Sage Intacct Construction). Review Source BD Bill D. GM Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software" November 22, 2024 5.0 very good and seems to be improving. Started using around 2017 and it was hard to track multiple jobs from same client, but the fixed that pretty quick for us. Pros excellent for proposals, billing and change orders, the customer portal is great, and the work schedule is very good. excellent customer support Cons the cost is pretty high, The CRM interface and ach seemed to pay slow. Managing several accounts from the same client was a little tricky, but they did fix most of the issues with that. Review Source HK Hank K. Estimator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Working with Buildertrend" November 8, 2024 4.0 Working with it for about 1 1/2 years and very satisfied Pros In buildertrend you have the ability to keep all information from your client in one program. From beginning to end of each project you are able to track process of jobs and payments of jobs. You cam add change orders and show you payments for product and labor. Cons No cons. Easy to navigate. Cost was a little high in our opinion. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Buildertrend seemed more efficient and easier to navigate. Also has more programs that we can use Review Source CJ Cassidy J. Lead Designer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Served us well for many years!" November 7, 2024 5.0 We used this software thoroughly for many years and found it really easy for both team members and clients, and very effective for managing our work. We moved away from it once it was acquired in order to move forward with a program being developed and maintained. Pros Client facing portal, selections process, messaging and communication organization Cons Wanted more back end features on financials Review Source SG Summer G. Office Employee Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Better Products, good for simple operation." March 31, 2025 3.0 Could have been better.

Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BuilderTrend, Maybe?" November 11, 2024 3.0 Pros It is a one stop shop for your construction company Cons It tries to do to much and in doing so it does not do one thing very well Review Source AO Alison O. Studio conversion Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Buildertrend works great for the person paying" June 30, 2025 5.0 Pros Buildertrend made it extremely simple to make payments of large sums to my contractor. It was easy to manage the payments item by item. Cons Buildertrend slowed down the payment a little bit for the contractor, as I had to verify small payments that went into my bank. To be honest, this put me at ease, but on their end I realize it was a little slow.
