Owner / Architect Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Indispensible" March 14, 2017 5.0 I have spent years using spreadsheets to create budgets and schedules, and yes, somehow things got built and completed. But the amount of time it took to keep these things not only updated but well communicated was insane. I can't begin to describe how much time and energy Co-Construct is saving me and my company, to say nothing about how impressed clients and trades are with the systems we have in place to run projects. Pros Wealth of features (Estimating, scheduling, to do's, messaging, questions/answers, warranty items, uploading drawings and photos). Ability to present ourselves as professionals from the very first meeting with clients (and trades), and practically selling our design and construction services while we're in the initial feasibility stages. Cons It takes some time to understand and get used to the relationships between Budgets, Estimates and Selections, and understanding who sees what and when on the other side (clients and trade contractors). Review Source SW Stuart W. Used the software for: ### "" September 30, 2013 4.5 I have found all Co-construct's strengths fantastic, including the ability to control client emails. So, when a client phones in a detail to be confirmed or additional, you can always say "okay, put it in the system and I will get right on it". As every detail is time stamped, there are no worries. With my last big job, the clients varied the contract by 165 variations and only signed 163 of them. There were two variations in dispute, after verbally confirming them at the final meeting. Hence, the time stamping is a great function. The approvals is my favorite. I have always gone into detail with variations in the past, now I love how short and sharp this approval process is, and most importantly, when you get the confirming email that it is approved. It's like winning little lotteries. My only negatives with Co-construct is being able to use the program to its potential in all the areas, and that is no reflection of the support. It is more my understanding of the program, so in short my ability to use it completely. I have taken some time to select Co-construct and also Xero, which I believe to be a forerunner program like Co-construct. I hope you will feed and support this program, even though it is from NZ. There are many good points to flatter Co-construct with, but mainly this system has helped me be more efficient in just three months. Review Source JL Jesse L. General Contractor Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing Software and Team!!" November 22, 2017 5.0 Pros Easy to use and amazing functionality!! Taylor Henne is an amazing help when it comes to getting everything set up. The whole team over there is extremely knowledgable about all the features of the software. Review Source DW Donald W. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review" May 10, 2022 5.0 It has combined all my job tasks and correspondences into one easy to access place that is accessible to all team members Pros The support system that comes with it is fantastic Cons Haven't really fond a "con" yet. Maybe there will be something in the future, I just haven't found it yet Review Source DT Don T. VP of Operations Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "CoConstruct has bridged all our communication gaps between clients, project managers, site superingtendents, subcontractors and suppliers." April 27, 2018 5.0 Overall everyone here is excited at how well CoConstruct works with our business and the time it is saving. We have tried other systems but so far this one has worked the best. Pros Very easy to use. Relatively short learning curve with the assistance of top notch knowledgeable coaches and support staff. Accessible from anywhere since it is web based. Faster than server based software. Well thought out system by people who obviously knows construction. All job related communication is located and documented in CoConstruct. Our subcontractors and clients love it. Much better than the software we were using at a competitive price. Cons We were used to creating plumbing, lighting, door, etc. schedules in an excel spreadsheet template we created. It was easy to fill out and understand. We wish something similar could be added to CoConstruct. There a few clunky things but I think they are working those out. Review Source WR Wil R. Sales/Project Management Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "CoConstruct's customer support is the new industry-standard!" October 4, 2018 5.0 Their web-based interface is VERY clean. Plus, they are constantly and systematically updating their product, listening to the feedback of their users. Incredible. Pros Hands-down the best customer support I have seen lately...really, they're incredible. Between their web-based knowledge base, their videos, the training coach they assign to you at the start of your enrollment, the customer support you can reach by phone during business hours, the support you can receive via email, AND the support you can receive via email during the weekend, these guys are insane about customer support! This company is going to DOMINATE the market! Cons Because of the vast amount of features this product offers, the learning curve is not for the faint of heart. But, their customer is really, the best that I have ever seen for a tech company, so if you're willing to put in the time up-front, you will never look back. Review Source RC Rich C. Used the software for: ### "" March 12, 2013 5.0 We are a small remodeling company that does about 30-50 kitchen and bath projects a year. Since we started this business seven years ago, we have struggled with keeping track of all the communications within the company and with the customer. A great example that I will never forget is when I got a call from a customer the night after their beautiful and expensive honed absolute black granite countertop went in. Instead of saying how great it was, they pointed out that we put in a D-bowl sink instead of the rectangular sink they requested. Sure enough, buried in an e-mail to our designer three weeks before, was the request to switch the sink style. We missed it, the countertop people never knew it, and we ended up replacing a $1500 piece of countertop! Yikes! Co-construct was recommended to us by a collegue and it is awesome. We subscribed three months ago, and I was able to implement it easily. It came just in time, since we are running the most complex project in our company's history! The few questions I have had were answered amazingly fast. Better yet, I was able to have a customer use it without any training at all. Everyone loves the mobile app too. I bring up the software in every sales call, and send out our custom-branded brochure to everyone. As you can tell, I am a big fan! Now they just need to bring out a CRM module... Review Source RB Rose B. Receptionist Design Used the software for: ### "Very in-depth program with a wide range of options" May 13, 2015 4.0 Pros I like how it you can share stuff (documents, purchase orders, change orders etc) with sub-contractors and the owner. Really helpful because soon we won't have to email/post paperwork to sub-contractors and our clients. I like it how there are leads on this system and you convert to a job - everything is already there, no transferring stuff from one program to another - ALL IN ONE PLACE!! Cons It doesn't auto-generate a Lead # when you create a new lead - i think this would be really helpful. And it would be good if the lead number was carried over to the Job Number. Also the cost-codes you can't save a price to a cost code, therefore every time you do a purchase order you need to manually enter the price for any cost code you add to the order. It also doesn't account for GST (Goods and Services Tax - in New Zealand), therefore if a purchase order gets approved and then "Paid", it comes up in Xero as having no GST, when it should have. It's just a matter of changing it to include GST manually but would be good if this was automatic! Review Source CP Colin P. Investment Analyst Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review from Davenport" February 20, 2017 5.0 For the most part, this product has been easy to use. There are times were it tends to lag, especially when turning leads into job sites, but for the most part it is very reliable and easy to use. I really like how when new features come up, you all post a new letter so that upon logging in you are greeted with a summary of thew new features available. I think the product works great for our purpose and have no recommendations for improvements at this time. Review Source MJ Michael J. Owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "New software for business" May 3, 2017 4.0 I like the program but it is not as easy to grasp as I anticipated as I don't have the time to immerse myself into the program as some owners may since I am in the field on jobs most of the time and customer support is not available in the evenings when I get to the office. Pros The scheduling capability that helps in setting up subs and the ability to create to-do's with photos for the subs. Cons The change orders are time consuming and have duplicity in the system and there is still some issues with exporting updates to QuickBooks without losing progress billing information. Review Source CE Connie E. bookkeeping Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buildertrend " May 19, 2020 5.0 So far, so good. I can see how this will help be more organized and stay on track. Pros The features are great and versitile. Many options to use. Will work on getting more efficient with our customers. Cons A bit to learn, and with all the options you will need to watch the training videos. It has a lot to learn Reason for choosing Buildertrend Features and worked with Quickbooks Online Switched from [HubSpot Marketing Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/171840/HubSpot-Marketing/) More options to use and it works with Quickbooks Online Review Source Response from Buildertrend June 2, 2020 Connie, thank you for your honest review and feedback! We appreciate hearing your perspective. AMQ Angelica Maria Q. Civil Eng. Civil Engineering Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "What a great app" September 24, 2019 5.0 I found it by chance on the Internet and watched some videos about what it does. I jumped immediately to the trial because it is very helpful in the construction when I work at. I've found very helpful the task scheduling feature so far, it's easy to work with. Pros I love I can manage the construction activities from my phone in an app. Amazing. I tried scheduling the daily activities of the workers and I could track them all easily. Cons Nothing so far. I think I'll get this app once my trial time has ended because it has a lot of features I can use at work. Review Source Response from Buildertrend October 17, 2019 Angelica Maria - thank you so much for your review and feedback! We're happy to hear how well Buildertrend is working for you, and we'd love to have you continue on as a customer after your trial time has ended. TR Tina R. Executive Assistant/Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "BuilderTREND Review" June 13, 2019 4.0 Pros I like the new update for owner invoicing. This update makes it easier with less of a chance of duplicating. I am still learning but I like the program as it is easy to communicate with the subcontractors. Cons The lag time when entering bills. The page always has to reset itself. I would like to see this updated. Review Source ID Ike D. Operations Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Decent Software " January 27, 2022 4.0 Good Pros CRM, estimating and management in same software Cons Learning takes time. However, the customer support is excellant Reason for choosing Buildertrend Features Review Source Response from Buildertrend April 4, 2022 Thank you for your review, Ike! BB Benjamin B. Project Manager Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great! Keeps you organized. Keeps key stakeholders involved." May 5, 2015 4.5 Pros Schedule creation is easy Sharing the schedule with Key stake holders makes our design/build experience better Cons Document management system is my biggest criticism of BT which I am otherwise a huge fan of. We use Google drive because it is integrated into our computer, similar to Drop box. When we want to share a file, we click on it and share it with a team member. Having a secondary document management system on BT is a pain because you are duplicating your efforts. If you could some how do what google drive and drop box has done, I would definitely use that feature. Review Source dsK dotinme seindou K. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "super logiciel" February 20, 2023 5.0 Il m'a permis de faire ma propre planification Pros Je vais fortement recommander ce logiciel car il est pratique et très interessant Cons Rien à signaler. L'application ne présent pour le moment aucun problème à signaler .il est super facile à l'utilisation Review Source JZ Jim Z. Used the software for: ### "" April 1, 2013 5.0 I am a builder remodeler and I have been using the software for about a year, moving into it slowly. In the past I used Microsoft Project, and it became to cumbersome and expensive to maintain and the communications tools were not as easy to use as I wanted, especially from phone or tablets. As I take on more work this year and anticipate allowing more team members from our building and remodeling company to access, add data and use the system, I see the benefits of the Co-construct everyday. The ability to tailor to small and short, or large and long, projects together makes it much easier to keep up with your to do list. The ability to create a new project quickly, especially short ones, is very convenient. The support from the Co-constrcut folks is always quick and helpful, whether by phone or Internet. Our trade partners are beginning to embrace the system, and though it's a little foreign to them at first, they do begin to relate as time goes on. I have found it easier to add a few into the system at a time rather than all at once because they are confused at first, and it takes some phone call communications to confirm the messages before they feel comfortable with the software. You must keep the schedule up to date or then they loose faith in the whole system. My customers also like the communication aspects of Co-construct. Review Source HM Hunter M. President Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review " February 7, 2022 5.0 Good Pros Ease of use. The program made timely equations quick. Cons Too many options. I sometimes found it difficult to navigate Review Source JG Jeremy G. Owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Co-construct Review" May 23, 2019 4.0 Overall the experience has been very good - as I continue to learn more about the software I see where I can improve my business simply by using it more and better. Pros Functionality and its ability to help with communication and coordination of the project. Cons The phone app can tend to be slow to start up and I cant create a project from it on the run. Review Source RH Rami H. Director of Sales Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Construction sales manager and daily co-construct user" September 11, 2015 5.0 Pros I have to say that I was reluctant to use a new product, I can now geniunly say that co construct make the construction management process a breeze for each and every end user in our company including the client who is our sole reason for being in business, the program lends itself perfectly to our transparency policy and our clients love the ease of use and the lack of effort it takes, rather than pick up a phone 95% of our clients will post a message to co-construct and that message goes to evert single member of our team from the guy digging the footer in the clients back yard to the owner of the company. Cons The only feature I'd like to see easier to use would be a dial feature to call directly out of the program but I have to admit even as a moderately experienced user I would bet I only use 50% of the capabilities of this amazing and awesome construction proccess manager Review Source BG Bob G. Used the software for: ### "" March 12, 2013 4.5 My company, One Man and A Hammer, has always focused on quality, promptness, and, above all, open communication with clients. As we grew it became more difficult to find time to answer clients' questions in a timely manner. Keeping track of all correspondence also became increasingly more difficult. I found myself, as did my sales team, endlessly searching for an email or fax that addressed a specific item: material selections, product specs, vendor quotes, etc. It was unprofessional and, at times, embarrassing. Not to mention that all of the "he said, she said" scenarios that potentially could ruin an otherwise beautiful remodel project. Enter Co-construct. Now that Co-construct is in place and being used daily, the communication gaps have essentially gone away. All correspondence is captured, all selections are posted for all to see, and jobs run smoother than ever before. No "you said this and you said that." When required, a Change Order is written, posted, and approved online - even if the client is away on vacation! All scheduling is also done through Co-construct so that the client AND trades know what's going to happen and when. We aren't yet utilizing every aspect of Co-construct but we are working our way there. I can't wait for the day when using Co-construct is as habitual as waking up in the morning! Review Source LJ Linda J. Executive Admin Assistant Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Buildertrend2020Survey" February 4, 2020 5.0 Great. Easy. Simple. Always available. Pros All the information that is available in each file Cons The ads that pop up at the sign on at times. Review Source CF Carlos F. Project Estimator/Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great customer support in helping us explore and familiarize ourselves with the software." August 9, 2018 4.0 Pros The biggest thing we like about BuilderTrend is all the features available at our fingertips. We are able to customize the software to best fit our contracting challenges and goals. The cost catalog is going to help us prepare and present proposals much more efficiently than we currently are. It also helps in training our sales reps much easier. Cons One thing we would like to have in our cost catalog is a way to price out square footage for decking products. As the software is right now we have to manually calculate different prices for square footage, but we are told that the development team at BuilderTrend is working on an update to meet this specific need! Review Source Response from Buildertrend September 7, 2018 Carlos, thank you so much for taking the time to give us your feedback! I will have your Buildertrend Coach reach out to you to chat more about a recent update we made that just might be what you’re looking for. We’ll be in touch soon! SR Sarah R. Executive Assistant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sarah Rutkowski review" February 16, 2017 5.0 I manage all of our documents using builder trend and every week I seem to find a new function that works for our company. Pros The ease of use Cons Not being able to look at multiple jobs at the same time no reporting functions Review Source SK Steve K. Accountant Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome product" January 5, 2016 4.5 Pros This is a great tool for managing construction and remodel jobs from start to finish. There are a lot of features that can be missed if you don't take the time to learn, explore, and implement. Customer Support has been awesome to work with. They seem to really care about the need of the customer and if a feature doesn't exist and it makes sense to do it they want to make a way to include it. Plus the ability to push financial transactions to QuickBooks to avoid manual entry is great. Cons There are many online training tutorial videos but sometimes there are situations that help is needed that may or may not be in a video. Need a faster way to look it up. However, when we call support they usually have the answer. There are a few places in the app when dropdowns are used and the sort order is a little weird and cannot be changed. Could use a few more reporting features.
