Build Book vs the others

Pros:

Build Book works great and we've already seen it help our business in keeping us on task so that the most important things get done on time and not fall through the cracks. I like Build Book's pricing and ease of use most of all.

Cons:

I wish there was employee time tracking and a way for customers to pay through Build Book. That would help a lot in making double entries in both Build Book and Quick Books. I know there will always be some double entry, but this would eliminate over half of it.

Reasons for choosing BuildBook

Its actually designed for builders and not service call companies.

Great product, works great, easy to navigate- almost too simple.

I met the [sensitive content hidden] of Buildbook at IBS and was very impressed with him and with the program he helped create. Overall very positive. Customer service is great and it works!

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I love the ease of use for my employees and clients. Very positive feedback from clients, employees and my office manager. They can navigate the program much easier than CoCon/Buildbook. This is huge, I was getting negative feedback from clients about CoCon's complexity. Buildbook is very very simple to navigate and the app works great, very easy to see what we need.

Cons:

On the back end, I would love just more customization, options, and abilities to see more information. Seeing job profitability and syncing w/ Quickbooks to see actuals vs. quoted would be helpful. We don't have time or capacity to enter each line item cost so we are missing that information. It just almost seems too simple and not enough complexity on the back end. I want more options w/ quotes and w/ the Gannt chart creation. Having pictures and files transfer from "opportunity" to "projects" would be very very helpful! Please make this change! I'm concerned if Buildbook will be able to grow with my business. As I grow my business I want to be sure Buildbook grows with us and brings more functionality to the back end. Don't change the client facing side, just the backend!

Reasons for choosing BuildBook

Money, Buildbook was a much more affordable option and I liked the user friendly side for the clients and employees. I'm just concerned that I will regret this in a few years as we continue to grow. Like I mentioned earlier, I want Buildbook to continue to grow and add features as they grow! Obviously Builder Trend is the best of the best but with that comes a much higher monthly cost. Please keep getting better, even if you have to increase the pricing, I would rather pay a little more, have more features then to have to change management systems again.

Reasons for switching to BuildBook

CoConstruct got bought out by Builder Trend and I found out at IBS that Builder Trend wasn't going to invest any more money into CoConstruct. What CoConstruct is today is what it will be 10 yrs from now. They were pushing people to switch over to Builder Trend, as a small construction company, I couldn't afford to make that switch.

Pros:

It's easy to use if you're new to using construction software and don't want to spend a lot of money on an alternative like Buildertrend.

Cons:

It's newer so there are still some features that I'd like to be included like Quickbooks integration.

Reasons for choosing BuildBook

I thought the ease of use and the price were better than the alternatives. Pricing is based solely on the number of users so they don't remove features if you choose to go up or down a tier.

Great Market Fit, But Need to Counter-Balance Cost-Plus Construction

I enjoy it as a tool for promoting a greater customer experience. I don't know how much I would say that it helps me run my construction business at this point.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The market distinctive for my business is this software and my design process. This program achieves my goal of promoting high-level visibility between me and the client while allowing me to have a project management system that is efficient and clean.

Cons:

As mentioned before, the product feels like it's been built so heavily around the customer experience that it's weak on the project execution features. More specifically the financial management and scheduling side of the project. In regards to the former, the financial management system is almost entirely communicative. But it doesn't actually serve me in any significant ways of managing my financials. The scheduling system is clunky. I don't know if this is a feature but I hope that you guys will allow for a microsoft project integration as I will have to explore other products to schedule construction as Buildbook's system takes way too long.

Reasons for switching to BuildBook

Cost. Trying to match software useage/cost with current operational level. Business neither complex nor large enough to warrant expensive (and perhaps more comprehensive) systems.

Clean, simple and easy to use project management software

They have a great team that is very responsive, and keeps their customers updated with upcoming upgrades to the system. Customer service is great, and they made the transition easy.

Functionality

Pros:

I love how simple this software is to use, and how well is works alongside our current processes. It's clean and easy to use for both our team and clients, and does not have all of the clutter and clunkiness that larger softwares have. It allows us to have a central hub for all project-related communications, in a clean, minimal interface.

Cons:

Scheduling could be improved a bit, and I'm confident that it will be sooner than later based on the recent updates and communications stating the upcoming upgrades that are rolling out in the coming months. Bid & PO Management is also missing, so looking forward for that to come through.

Reasons for switching to BuildBook

We went from Asana for Task Management, to Co-Construct for financial and scheduling, then to Buildertrend for improved Scheduling. All systems left much to be desired, and the BuilderTrend offered lots of features that simply didn't work for us due to its lack of a tax integration. The QBO integration didn't work for us, and neither did their system of manually uploading expenses into the software, which we already have automated with other softwares. Ultimately, we ended up paying a premium for a software that we only used 25% of the features for, so we reevaluated and decided to make a switch to a more simple, cost-effective software in BuildBook that has all the right tools, and nothing more. We appreciate BuildBook's minimal, clutter-free design and easy navigation.
