Best Bang for your Buck Construction Management Software

BuildBook has a small company feel, they are there to help their customers, customer service is the best I have experienced.

PROS

It is extremely easy to use. There is no better software for the money. It is not busy and cluttered like its more expensive competitors, it has everything you need, nothing that you don't. The company is growing rapidly and I am excited to see the future software developments from BuildBook. I would recommend BuildBook to any residential builder looking to systemize their company.

CONS

It is a relatively new product that is rapidly growing, there will be features you with it had, though they are few. BuildBook will continue to improve, and I look forward to future developments.

Reason for choosing BuildBook

Cost, BuilderTREND is expensive, and too difficult for most people to manage.

Reasons for switching to BuildBook

$. CoConstruct was too expensive for us to justify, and hard for my superintendents to use. With BuildBook anyone can jump in and easily navigate the program. CoConstruct has its place, but as a builder closing <20 homes a year, it was not a good fit for me.

Great startup with lots of potential

PROS

The price and value for money is the best I've seen. The user experience is clean, simple and easy to navigate.

CONS

There are a lot of features lacking and some feel like very obvious oversights such as not being able to see profit margin % from a project's financials.

Reason for choosing BuildBook

BuilderTrend felt like just a much more expensive version of CoConstruct.

Reasons for switching to BuildBook

CoConstruct was very clunky to use and will not be receiving any more improvements since being bought by BuilderTrend. It did not make sense to keep paying so much money for something that was never going to improve.

Good more to come

PROS

Layout and scheduling of construction projects and crews.

CONS

The fact I have to log in every time and cannot stay logged in or use Face ID. That needs to be fixed.

Reason for choosing BuildBook

Looking at a different way to manage construction.

Reasons for switching to BuildBook

My GC wanted to try something new but the cost is a bit much. Should have yearly price at a discount for cash up front.

Functional!

We are new to BuildBook but have compared to HoneyBook, Builder Trend & CoConstruct before making our decisions.

PROS

I like the ease of setup and the visibility of seeing all our projects in one place.

CONS

There are some features like lead capturing from my website and subcontractor bids that I look forward to in a future release.

Reason for choosing BuildBook

Cost.

Reasons for switching to BuildBook

We needed better visibility into our projects for the entire company and some added functionality for our end of the construction industry.

Great experience so far. This software will help my small company grow.

PROS

Simplicity!!! BuildBook is very simple to use. It is a good project management software for small builders and remodelers. Very user friendly.

CONS

I love how BuildBook continues to make this product better. Many updates address the needs of many. Anytime I have had a question or comment they have always been there to answer and/or listen.

Reasons for switching to BuildBook

Cost and simplicity. I do not need all the bells and whistles.
