### "Excellent!"

March 11, 2019

5.0

It has been a great facilitator of communication between our employees, clients, & sub-contractors.

Pros

Easy to use. Navigation for both the desktop program and phone app are extremely user friendly.

Cons

Doesn't quite sync with our accounting system.

I work in the custom home division of the company. Prior to BuilderTrend we've used Microsoft Project in a limited way. We were using it as baseline, updates are only done on as needed basis which is sometimes it only gets updated three times during the whole project. When BuilderTrend was introduced to my division, I looked for the ease of use for myself and the clients. The amount of keystrokes to moving page to page was efficient. The implementation on my end (I'm project manager) was painless. BuilderTrend is user friendly, does not need a lot of learning, very easy to use. I'd recommend this to all Project Managers that want to have control and transparency with their clients. It speeds the approval process which limits and in my case prevents delays.

### "Buildertrend"

November 16, 2018

5.0

I really enjoy being able to use a program like buildertrend at my workplace. It's well organized and very easy to find things without having to run into any problems.

Pros

Buildertrend is a very well organized program. It has a place for just about everything to do with building a home.

Cons

I, myself have not ran into any complications with buildertrend within the 3 months that I have been using it.

### "Fantastic product. Constant upgrades and enhancements!"

February 9, 2016

5.0

Pros

Continual improvement. Had tried others before finding BuilderTrend and were guaranteed upgrades and improvements that never showed up. With Builder Trend, they are adding tools and features before we even know we need them.

Cons

Nothing. Even the price I find fair, given the value you recieve.

We have been using Co-construct for over a year now. I have mixed emotions about it, and so do our clients. I think it would work well if we were doing different styles of homes, but we build custom homes from $750,000 to $10 million. The system works fine for clients that are spending under a million, but customers spending over a million typically do not like it as much. They do not like having to sign in to get the info that has been posted. They feel that the email they receive from Co- construct should show their information if they need it. If everyone (including coworkers) could use it to the full extent it would be much more beneficial. When I am in the field, however, it takes way too long to sign in and navigate to find the specific information I need.

### "BuilderTREND is the Best On-line Construction Management Product"

September 16, 2014

5.0

Pros

They have been very helpful during the 6 months I have been with them. I have had questions on how certain things work within BuilderTREND, and within 24 hours or less, I have received an answer to my email. Their webinars are great, and new updates every few months keep them moving in the right direction.

Cons

Everything is great, but if I was to get picky, I would say the monthly fee could be more reasonable.

### "Buildertrend is a one stop software platform covering all the essential management needs of a contractor"

November 29, 2018

4.0

Pros

multiple scheduling formats; easy estimating/budgeting platform; great communication/contact/messaging;

Cons

would like the divisions of estimating / budgeting to subtotal so you can easily see where costs are running over/under. no subtotaling is provided and it would be so easy.

Kevin, 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 about subtotaling within your account.

### "Completely Satisfied - Stellar Product!"

December 31, 2013

5.0

Pros

Aside from an excellent product, they continue to keep you informed as a customer through constant communications! They really do care about what you think about the product and service. Certainly this is in part why they have such a stellar product!

Cons

I've yet to find a "glitch" or "issue" with Co-construct. They preemptively communicate with their clients continually asking how they can be better with their product or services. From personal experience, I can attest to their quick and personal response time when helping to answer questions. Again, I've yet to find a weakness with their product!

### "BuilderTrend, Very nice program with a few drawbacks"

September 9, 2016

4.0

Pros

The ease of use is great. The features are wonderful. They are easy to use and complement both field staff and in office staff.

Cons

This product does not have a good estimating module. Nor does it do job costing appropriately. As a large residential contractor, we need to be able to see how the job looks as it is progressing, you cannot do that with Builder Trend. If they would increase their job costing capabilities as well as their estimating features including Requests for Pricing that can be dumped into the estimate it would really make it a comprehensive Construction Management software.

### "Reviewing Builder Trend"

December 17, 2015

4.5

Pros

I use Builder Trend in the field from my tablet. I can set a schedule and show a client where we are during their remodel. I know I do not use enought of it but I do love it for the user friendly task of scheduling.

Cons

Not the products fault I just wish I had really good training on the product.

### "A Well-Rounded Management Application for Construction"

November 8, 2017

5.0

We've used this on one of our projects to test out the program and keep the client better up-to-date on the project. It only works as well as the user. The benefit is lost if the client doesn't care enough to login to review their files and documents. Luckily, the site supervisor was able to remotely access the documents needing approval to have them manually approved on-site.

Pros

Everything. This is one of the best thought-out application specifically for construction companies. It includes everything from tracking costs per job, creating approval reports of change orders, has its own client login for them to view all documents related to their project to what the construction company wants to share.

Cons

There were a couple snags with being able to share documents with ease and allowing easier access for the clients to review their files.

### "Great Project Team Communications"

November 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

The communication and contextualization of information is awesome. I love that everything for a project can be found in one place and shared to all the people on the team that need it. I love that homeowners can have a voice that is not my text inbox and the information goes to more than just me so it is acted on. I love that team at Co-Construct is constantly listening and working to improve the software to better fit my team, my trade partners and my homeowners requests. I love the integration with QB. And last but not least I love the mobile app.

Cons

On the homeowners side there is not currently a search bar and it makes it hard for homeowners to find specific information. Other than that its really a great software.

May 8, 2015

5.0

Pros

I like many different parts about BuilderTrend, from the Calendar to the Budget tab.

Cons

Like least? It is hard to say, I am not sure. I would really really have to think hard about what I don't like about his product. Maybe the Time clock option, but that is only because I can't really use it.

January 11, 2016

5.0

Pros

The ease of use and the fantastic tech support. Also, the mobile app is everything I need in the field.

Cons

We are unique in that we are a builder and a real estate broker. This makes our needs a little different and those necessary changes are not top priority, because we are in the minority.

### "I work with change orders and purchase orders"

January 12, 2016

4.5

Pros

Love the way it can link with QuickBooks and how quick the help desk is handling any issues or questions I have.

Cons

Some of the wording/headings could be improved. Because we link up with Quickbooks when we push a PO through to QB it shows it is PAID in BT. This really confuses our vendors.

We were told this would be a "snap" to use. Boy, have we run into issues with a lot of things - way to many to list. After all this time, still learning curve that creates headaches!

Pros

Able to communicate with clients well

Cons

Can't do sales orders with as many items as we have. Can't convert to QuickBooks, so we have to duplicate work

### "Life changing "

October 7, 2014

4.5

Pros

I love its simplicity and the ability to keep everyone in the loop. My clients love the ability to view the progress of their job from work and communicate on a forum that is dedicated to their job. Our Trades rave that they can view the schedules in their own time and have a recorded link directly with me. It's one of those systems, where you say to yourself, "If only I had this when we were starting out."

Cons

I don't like that we are stuck with only the options of two jobs running at any one time and then the next package being five jobs. I never run more than three to four jobs at one time.

### "Builder Trend Review"

December 15, 2015

4.0

Pros

The daily logs and file organization are tops. The "discussions" portion is pretty good and getting better with input from contractors and homeowners. I see this being a integral part of our business down the road.

Cons

The budget tracking is a little overly complex for our purposes. It would be great to have a simplified version of a budget tracker that acted more like a spreadsheet that could be edited simply and show cost plus percentage.

### "Co-Construct is a business (ahem...life) saver!"

April 13, 2016

5.0

Pros

First off, the ease. Even our least computer literate staff can use the program! Its simple yet mighty. Co-construct took our estimating, communication, and project management wish list and made it a reality. We are so efficient now and our clients think we are even more amazing! And the customer service team is a dream. We have used everything from the initial hand holding to teach us how to use the program to the almost daily...help! I cant figure how to....and like magic, not only do we get a super fast response, they actually help! This program has helped us to increase our business by saving time and making us look good!

Cons

I haven't come across anything yet because any question is answered so quickly and they havebeen improving the product even in the short time we use it.

### "Software has been very good starting with for the past two months"

March 2, 2015

4.5

Pros

Ease of use in getting started and bringing all parties together in one message area.

Cons

Completely different interface with iPhone compared to iPad and computer.

Review Source

Response from Buildertrend

March 4, 2015

Neil -- Thanks for the positive feedback. Regarding the mobile apps... you're correct that the interface is different on those from the main website, since we've optimized it for smaller screens and streamlined the functions to let you more quickly do the kinds of things you'd typically do from the field (like adding to-dos, replying to a comment, checking the budget on a selection item, changing a schedule task date, etc...). However, if you're doing something where you'd prefer the full site, we do test that the full site works on mobile browsers. In fact, many of our clients simply use the full site on the iPad in landscape mode since it works so nicely like that. If you have any specific questions about it, you can always contact your implementation coach or email or call support for free assistance.

I am the Jobsite Supervisor for the premiere custom builder in the greater Lansing area. I use BuilderTrend to manage my calendar and to communicate with sub-contractors. It is very user-friendly and all of our clients have embraced it. It didn't take long to have our whole office adapted to using it as a main way of communication. It has worked very smoothly and we have not had any instances when we needed customer support. BuilderTrend has minimized details falling through the cracks. The administrators are all working together and able to see selections, schedule and uploaded documents. It also works well in the field on the iPad. We started using it nearly two years ago and are glad we did. The benefits gained far outweigh the cost of the product.

### "The only way to run a custom build"

October 13, 2016

3.0

This software is what I dreamed about for years. A platform that brings together and integrates all the parts of a building project. Schedules, pricing, variations, to do items, reminders, contractor management, client communication, document managment and a heap of other things which you might be treating a luxuries now.

Pros

Easy to use, easy for clients to learn. Constantly being updated

Cons

Lack of drag and drop for images and docs. Cant print gantt charts or share with clients.
