The best way to get current project information at your digital fingertips!
We haven't fully implemented the full suite of tools within Builterra yet, so I am most pleased with the ability to control the catalog of items to prevent users from creating too many one-off items. As we move forward, the ability to query past tender pricing for estimating purposes is invaluable to me as a Project Manager. Ultimately, once we are using the inspection component full time, I can't wait for the daily inspection reports with photos and GPS located notes, etc.
CONSNone. The only drawback to this software is the same and any other business software : implementation. It is always difficult to get 100% "buy-in" but in time, I am confident all Project Managers here will appreciate the power and usefulness of Builterra.

So this review made our day! We were thrilled to hear that you appreciate Builterra as 'invaluable' when it comes to querying past tender pricing for estimating and look forward to your organization's full adoption! We agree that implementation is always a challenge when it comes to adopting a new software that replaces the 'old way' of doing things. We look forward to seeing increasing numbers of your organization's Project Managers experience the power of Builterra. Thank you again for your review!

A great way to get away from the field book
Our experience has been very positive, but we feel we will find the greatest benefits during the project closure phase where we will be able to go back and look at specific issues rather than having the wade through site reports and untagged photos.
PROSBuilterra allows us to track construction project and document design information in the field in a manner that minimizes our office time necessary to compile the data into a useful form.
CONSThere are some minor glitches with not being able to easily assign a new project from the field which we need for design uses, but it is easily resolved in the office.
Reason for choosing Builterra
Cost, ease of launching and modular approach that allowed us to slowly ramp up as the economics and projects supported more users.

A great concept but not a finished product.
The best word would be 'frustrating'. Downloading a report in PDF form sums up the experience: having to wait several minutes for a 1pg pdf form is inconvenient - being told that it's because you are number 1 in line is just a bizarre user experience - finding out that using a different method to download that same 1pg pdf report gives a significantly different looking document is very frustrating. Customer service was timely and patient, but not always helpful. Many of the things we needed help with would turn out to be large problems and it did not seem that there was any interest in undertaking the necessary work.
PROSI honestly believe the idea behind this software has the potential to change the way the industry operates and any company not using something similar will be seen as being behind the times. Builterra is on to a really good idea by putting CA tasks online and increasing automation and smart interactions between tasks.
CONSThe most frustrating part of using Builterra is experiencing it fall short of it's clear potential. From uploading/inputting data to downloading reports, every step was slow, buggy, and difficult to navigate. This translated into additional costs that had not been budgeted for and additional time that I did not have to spare. At no point did the time and effort savings of the software materialize. I suspect that each company signing up with Builterra will require a fair amount of work to customize the reports and functionality to that company. This is worth either putting under user control or taking the time to set up the software to turn out a product that matches the company's existing output. Much of the value of the product results from mobile use, sadly the mobile experience falls far short of even the desktop experience.

Laurence, Our sincere thanks for providing this insightful feedback. We only have 1000 chars to respond but will follow-up directly. Performance:We are committed to resolving report generation times during peak hours. Report differences:Some custom reports using checkboxes do not render properly from Excel to PDF. We recommend the Excel report be used for reports with checkboxes and PDF for image reports. Overall Support:We are very sorry to hear that the support provided was sub-par and are addressing this with our team. Customization requirements:Builterra is an out-of-box reporting system and a platform for report customization. For the latter, our team works closely with clients to ensure success. Report Customization:For now, reports are custom coded. However, our roadmap includes user defined reports for greater flexibility. Thank you for seeing our potential to 'change the way the industry operates'. We'd love for you to help us do just that. We'll be in touch.

As a user of Builterra, it has saved me time and effort compared to doing work manually.
PROSBuilterra is a very useful software that can be used via laptop, phone, or tablet. Daily inspections and weekly quantities of site work can be conducted through this platform which makes it easier than older methods such as Microsoft Word or Excel.
CONSThe software runs slow on laptops sometimes as the server is huge. Some data takes time to enter but they are still being developed to better aid the contract administrators.

It's... OK
Seems fairly easy to navigate once you get used to where everything is at.
PROSI like the fact that it encompasses all our documents into one platform that can be accessed by our smart phones. Also, everything within the app has drop downs that allow you to find documents fairly easy.
CONSThe only thing I don't like is the how the documents are setup in Builterra, but that's not the fault of the platform, but those who created the document.
