Used the software for: ### "" June 28, 2011 4.0 Parkview Homes is a multi-community hometown builder in Peterborough, Ontario that has been in business for 25 years. We sell approximately 100 homes each year, and continue to grow. As we have grown over the years, we have discovered the need for a shared location to maintain customer files and information. BuilderTREND has proven to be a very functional place to store data, documents, photos and other personalized information about our purchasers and homeowners that is used throughout the organization. This database allows site staff, office staff, decor staff and sales staff to view, manage and store useful information. Before we started using BuilderTREND, someone working on site who needed info on a customer would have to call into the office, or come in to get the necessary information. Now, on-site staff are able to access the data directly from their Blackberry or tablet. We have now been using BuilderTREND for well over a year. The implementation process was a little tedious, but fairly smooth overall. Getting staff on board with the new technology was the first hurdle; once this occurred, the rest was smooth sailing. The system has also improved over the past year, and is very easy to use. Our customers benefit from the system by having access to their documents and photos, as well as the project calendar feature. They love checking into the system to see what progress has been made on their home. Our long-distance customers, who can't regularly stop by to see the building process, particularly appreciate this feature. The staff at BuilderTREND are the best, and very supportive in assisting us throughout the process. Review Source PL Paxton L. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Buildertrend review" June 20, 2019 4.0 We have been happy with the software and our clients are impressed that all the information is at their fingertips. Pros Buildertrend offers a comprehensive platform for us as a general contractor to communicate with our clients, sub contractors and suppliers. Cons random minor bugs that my sub contractors face when trying to find documents for projects, but yet are available on my end. Review Source DB Dan B. Owner Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We are a small custom builder and spec home builder" July 26, 2018 4.0 Any small builder looking to up their company operations and their client interface should consider. We continue to grow with COCONSTRUCT and have dedicated a staff member to giving weekly classes to our team on better practices with the system. Pros The tracking of our projects with all divisions of the company. The ability for the client to participate in many areas creates an environment that is healthy for both parties in the transaction. Gives them true clarity to what is and is going to happen on their project. Cons Lack of all access on tablets or phones. We are wanting our field guys to have tablets instead of laptops but everyone claims limited function. Review Source Response from Buildertrend August 1, 2018 Dan -- Thanks for being dedicated to learning more and more about CoConstruct so you can make the most of it. We'll reach out to you directly about the mobile app to see if there's some training we can offer, since we have a whole set of field-focused mobile app (for phone and tablet) features, including time clock, job logs, photos (which you can draw on), schedules, client/trade communication, and even letting your PMs track budget-to-actuals. I suspect that your field guys are busy and may not have seen some of the announcements about our latest features. So, we'll make sure you have the info you need to take advantage of it! CC Clarke C. Office Assistant Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Strictly on the project management side things are good (daily reports, calendar, to dos, bidding)." April 16, 2018 4.0 Pros This program really helps me stay on top of tasks and everyone else's tasks as well. It helps me meet deadlines and track everything. Cons The only thing that interferes with my working on Builder Trend is when Builder Trend is working on the actual site. Sometimes it runs slow or the site drops. This does not happen for long periods of time but would be nice if Builder Trend could do this after most business hours. Review Source Response from Buildertrend April 23, 2018 Hi Clarke, thanks so much for the feedback! We're so sorry for any inconvenience that our updates on the site has caused you. If this happens again, be sure to reach out to us so our team is aware and can help you out! Thanks again. EL Ed L. Vice President Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Tool" February 4, 2020 5.0 The communication between the office and the field is greatly enhanced. Pros I can put all of the job information in the app and make it available to the parties that I choose. Changes can be made in real time and notifications sent immediately. Cons Can't think of any, but I need a minimum of 40 characters... Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing Buildertrend Procore appeared to be a larger tool that what we needed and I felt I would be paying for a lot of stuff we wouldn't or couldn't use. Buildertrend seemed to be a cost effective option for what we needed and it has proved to be so. Review Source CH Chris H. CEO/FOUNDER Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best management software available 👌 " August 19, 2021 5.0 Great product, even better service. Pros Customer service is by far the best ive dealt with in my lifetime. The software, just the core so far is amazing. Very powerful. The GPS time clock feature is my favourite Cons The cost, and that it does not handle anything to do with tax (on a proposal, estimate or invoice) Reason for choosing Buildertrend I heard of them before. Review Source Response from Buildertrend September 28, 2021 Thank you for your review and kind words, Chris! VD Vinnie D. Sales Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Buildertrend for Future Homes" February 10, 2020 5.0 We are able to realize cost savings by communicating with subs while they are on the job or before they get there, making sure they have the correct tools/materials, to handle changes from the original contract. Pros I am able to communicate to our full team in one message, notifying them immediately of results, necessary changes, etc. Cons Sometimes it's hard to tell if you saved a comment in daily logs, the same dialogue bow pops up after you save it. Review Source RB Robert B. Kitchen & Bathroom Sales Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Program!" March 29, 2019 5.0 Keep up the good work and great customer service so far. Part of why I moved forward with this program is because of customer rep who did a great job and KBIS demonstrating the product and discussing the possibilities. Pros I like the ease of use and simplicity. I don't like spending a ton of time with the infrastructure and getting it to work. I just need tools that work so I can focus on the content of my own projects. Cons I think additional consideration needs to be given about products. Allow me to enter in products, just like you would in a database, and each product would have customizable attributes. I could then in turn include those in my estimates, bids, PO's quickly and easily. Even though I am a custom home builder we often use the same grouping of products through each project. Allow me to save products in the system. Oh yeah, Can I have this in April 2019? I am going to just keep typing this in all my reviews until I get it! LOL Review Source SS Summer S. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great affordable software" July 7, 2020 5.0 Great experience Pros Really easy to use, great customer support and we loved the no start up cost just a very affordable monthly fee. Cons I cant think of anything that we had trouble with so far. Review Source Response from Buildertrend July 20, 2020 Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Summer! We really appreciate it. PH Peter H. CEO Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not sure it is everything they feel it is...." March 12, 2019 3.0 Not completely sold that CoConstruct follows through on promises. Communicating information to others need improving. It helps me be more productive and able to communicate on the spot by having the information with me at all times. But there needs to be away for everyone to see more for themselves or have the ability to print and send schedules change orders and tasks easier. Pros The ability to communicate quickly while on the job or talking on the phone is nice. If you want to print and/or send something in CoConstruct forget it. Cons Reports are far from being as good of quality as what I previously used. The fact that I can not customize and preset document such as proposals, schedules and change orders. These are valuable documents for any project and not have away to preset them and sent to someone else needs to change! My trade partners are used to me sending the entire schedule to them so they know the whole story. This is important. Taking screen shots is NOT OK. Review Source JP Jeanine P. Portfolio Estimator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I love using BuilderTrend!" November 9, 2018 5.0 Keep up the great work!! Pros Its many features, its flexibility, the fantastic customer support, and the responsiveness of the BuilderTrend team to customer requests for upgrades and improvements. Cons It is complicated, but worth plodding through because it has to be complicated to have all the features. And, again, the customer support is outstanding, so that makes it easy to get through all the details. Review Source JV John V. Designer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Construction Management Software Available" June 27, 2019 5.0 We use this software every day to organize our design build projects. It keeps everyone informed and organized. Pros It is easy to use and offers tons of features that we use every day. Cons The load times and constant regeneration of the web-page is definitely a weak point. Review Source JS Jasun S. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best!" February 5, 2020 4.0 Pros scheduling & communication for large multi-company teams Cons That professionals like Architects and Engineers do not have their own portal/access to the projects. This is a missing part of the "three legged stool" of constrcution projects. Review Source RR Ryan R. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Incredibly helpful!" February 18, 2020 4.0 Super customer service Pros Really helps keep the whole team aware of project status Cons Can sometimes be overwhelming with the number of features; like drinking from a water hose. Alternatives considered [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Review Source Response from Buildertrend February 19, 2020 Ryan, thank you so much for your review! AC Alex C. Project Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for big productions" February 4, 2020 5.0 My favorite items were the to-do lists linked to schedule items, and the Gantt chart capabilities. But that being said, if all I'm using this program for is those things, I can find a much cheaper option to just give me a nice Gantt/to do lists. Pros It has an amazing amount of detail in terms of tasks that it can take care of automatically. There is so much functionality that I never used, but I could tell this is set up to handle about anything and everything you could throw at it. Cons My operations are too small for BuilderTrend - it would take me more time and effort to train my subs on how to use this than is worth it. And I am confident many of them will never acclimate to it. I see this product having more success where all the users (administrators and subs/vendors) are computer literate and speak English well. Most of my subs had trouble learning and sticking to the software. Only a couple of them used it consistently and correctly. Review Source JM Joan M. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Build a systematic business" August 3, 2017 5.0 Their support staff will walk with you to effectively use their system. Pros Since starting with Builder Trend 3 years ago they have grown their CRM out to include 95% of what we needed as a construction company in the restoration business and they are continually implementing new ideas to make our business better. Cons The only thing I can think of right now that I would like Builder Trend to integrate workflow and automated email communication. Review Source EH Elizabeth H. Customer Experience Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "BT-A must have for busy contractors! " June 20, 2019 4.0 Overall, quite positive. Pros I find the program very easy to learn/use and it's mostly accurate with the exception of a few reports. Cons I wish we could link a customers account to more than one job instead of having to enter the customer all over again. I called customer support about this but couldn't get an answer on whether this was possible or not. Also, when I run the Lead status reports, the lead #'s don't always match what we've entered in BT. Wondering if this is because sometimes we enter the lead under more than one source? Review Source JM Jason M. Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A true success story for a small business" December 12, 2016 5.0 We've been using BuilderTrend at our company for over two years. It has proven to be a critical part of our business management. We are a subcontractor, and BuilderTrend allows us unmatched functionality in keeping our primary contractors updated on their projects. Prior to BuilderTrend, we were using spreadsheets to organize our jobs, and were fielding multiple calls per day from a dozen different primary contractors on basic information. All that is now at everyone's fingertips, any time, anywhere. BuilderTrend was relatively new when we started using it at Software Advice's recommendation - and we have seen a lot of added features and improvements since then, some specifically at our request! They are always very responsive to concerns and all their customer service interactions have been excellent. I highly recommend anyone in project management taking a look at BuilderTrend! Pros The accessibility of BuilderTrend on mobile, ease of use for new clients, and now the ability to invoice and take payments in the field are only SOME of my favorite features! Cons At one point, we were thinking of finding a new system because we really needed a specific function for handing off tasks. It turns out, BuilderTrend had this functionality already and I didn't even know it! Review Source GS Gayle S. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Buildertrend has organized us more!" June 25, 2019 4.0 Pros Allows Project Managers to upload photos and keep everyone informed on daily logs. Homeowner's are kept informed! Cons There was just an update to the lead sheet that we print out for the salesman, but it is now on two pages with a lot of blank space. Seems wasteful and us girls in the office liked it the way it was before. It will be more helpful when BuilderTrend is linked to quickbooks. Review Source RB Rhonda B. Accounting Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buildertrend" September 12, 2018 4.0 Pros Best feature is the ability to interface with 3rd party software - example Buildertrend with QuickBooks. Function works amazingly well and any glitches encountered are easily resolved. Another Pro would be the ability for homeowners to monitor the progress of their home building - unfortunately this feature is only as good as the construction progress inputs Cons Homeowners often misunderstand the information shared with them - there needs to be additional checks and balances so homeowners are not misled or confused. Example - AR balances - customers are often confused between billed AR and paid AR. Review Source TM Tom M. Director Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Game changer." February 18, 2020 5.0 Excellent Pros Very well thought out program, covers most of what i would have built into a bespoke program Cons I would like yo be able to create more reports Alternatives considered [Simpro](https://www.capterra.com/p/10529/Simpro-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing Buildertrend Best duited Review Source Response from Buildertrend February 28, 2020 Tom, thank you for your review and feedback! RH Rob H. General Manager/Owner Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product to manage projects" February 4, 2020 5.0 Employees can enter their time, notes, pictures, etc. which does not require an administrative person and the inherent costs associated with that person. Pros Integration to QuickBooks online; pricing for number of users; adaptability to our specialized usage; great training and support included in price Cons the somewhat steep learning curve required to become proficient Reason for choosing Buildertrend more integration and less administrative overhead Review Source RQ Ron Q. Used the software for: ### "" March 12, 2013 5.0 As a small custom home builder, one of the biggest challenges of getting a project started was getting my clients through the selection process and tracking all communications and changes. Co-construct has made this process much easier by allowing my clients to see all of their options and how they affect their budget. They can make their choices on the selections page, and there is no confusion or miscommunication as to what they picked. I also like the fact that any questions or comments about a particular selection item can be made in the selection page. For example, if my client has a question about an appliance package, all communication about the appliances shows up right in the selection. I don't have to dig through a hundred emails to find the last comment. When I signed up with Co-construct, I also wanted to try out one of their leading competitor's programs, and signed up with them as well. After training for and using both programs I found that Co-construct was by far the better program. It had better features and was much easier for me and my clients to use. Some of the features in the competitor's program were almost unusable. I couldn't add sales tax or a percentage-based contractor fee to the budget, and my client could not make a comment in the selections unless I initiated the conversation in that selection. I also ended up in a contract with the other company that I had to buy out . The support and training are also much better in Co-construct. They have been very helpful, and if you don't want to call or email them they have a vast library of help topics and very detailed tutorial videos. Review Source JP Judyth P. Marketing Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We like Buildertrend" November 13, 2019 5.0 our trades hate it because it is hard to use on their phones Pros We like that all of our job information is in one place where everyone can see it real time. Communication has become better. Cons it is not easy to use on the phone at all. Documents never load. I think we would use it more if we had the time to load all of the information we need to add to it. Review Source Response from Buildertrend January 8, 2020 Thank you for your honest review and feedback, Judyth! MS Martha S. Business Mgr. Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Processes and Procedures" March 23, 2017 5.0 I have come to the conclusion that Co-Construct is NOT a piece of software; Co-Construct is a comprehensive, enterprise-wide, process solution. Our business is crazy busy which lead us to react to every situation without the time to manage situations in advance. Of course, that leads to customer dissatisfaction, money leaking through the cracks, Superintendents without clear specifications, thus many re-works (read $$$). Co-Construct is in the process of quieting that all down. It has caused us to think through the Co-Construct implementation and the all the processes and procedures surrounding each customer home. EUREKA! Pros All-encompassing systemic approach that positively impacts the entire business and the entire construction process. Cons It is complex and takes a hero/believer in the company to be the the one Co-Construct voice. The setup can be intimidating and time consuming. I think so people become overwhelmed and just don't use it. I'd suggest "Co-Construct Implementer's" to work with each business during the set up process - if for no other reason that to keep the builder motivated. Review Source Similar Products Featured
