I think this is it.

Overall I have been satisfied and truly impressed. Using buildern has improved the customer experience we have been able to provide. It has also helped improved following up with vendors and subs to push them to stick to the schedule.

PROS

The team is amazing. I think this is the first CRM/ Project management tool that has developed what they said they would. When they told me they will roll out with a automated follow up feature in a month they actually did. The tool they have built out for managing potential projects in the pipeline is great. I think it has helped us better follow up with our customers and sign more jobs possibly. Different sections pull data as you progress minimizing double entry work. As soon as the contract is signed all the info is pulled into the project and filled out, ready to go. The budgeting and job costing tool is pretty robust and they have made significant improvements on it over the last few months. Comparing budget to actual is extremely easy to do as well. I think the biggest advantage is the improved communication this has allowed for between our clients and PM's, we all know communication is key, and we were not the best at it. I still think we have room to improve, the software just makes it easier.

CONS

I think the scheduling tool has room for improvment. I have talked to there dev team and they have mentioned that they are working on a few features, I have not seen anything yet. I will try to update this review once I do. I am personally used to using Microsoft Project, not sure if that makes me biased. I still prefer project for scheduling.

Best All-in-one Construction Estimating & Project Management Software

It has been very positive for us to move from Buildertrend over to Buildern and our team all agree. The development team are very responsive to any suggestions, and they keep you up to speed with what is on the roadmap for Buildern

PROS

It has everything in one software. We have had to use two or more software programs to run our business until we found Buildern.

CONS

A couple of the modules require a few more features to make things more efficient however I believe these are in development now. The mobile App also requires a few more of the Online features and I understand are not far away, however all the on-site required modules are on the Mobile App for our team

Reason for choosing Buildern

We were able to run everything on the one software program.

Reasons for switching to Buildern

We just couldn't run our entire business on these other software programs. We searched long and hard to find one software to do everything and finally found it.

Buildern is what we have been waiting for

Fantastic. Buildern is eager to hear our feedback on functionality and how the software is working in the field.

PROS

Buildern allows us to be more transparent with our clients and their estimates by including overheads, insurances, and builder costs as a default, rather than dispersing these genuine business costs somewhere randomly within an estimate. Buildern's method of creating an assembly is far easier than other programs I have used. The home screen is very easy to navigate. Variations are easy to create and present clearly to the client.

CONS

Some features need to be refined to make them more efficient, such as integrating timesheets into Xero, a dashboard to see the scheduling for multiple projects running simultaneously using the same trades, etc. and hopefully down a CRM.

Reason for choosing Buildern

The cost of the alternate products was excessive, and after a demonstration of the software, we could see the powerful tool Buildern was tuning into

Reasons for switching to Buildern

Buildern developers are truly listening to the industry and designing a platform that will overtake every other construction program

Exceeds Buildertrend

From the moment I started using Buildern Software, I was impressed by its simplicity and effectiveness. As someone who's been in the construction industry for years, finding a software solution that seamlessly integrates into our workflow was a must. We have been using Buildertrend for several years, and when I started using Buildern I was amazed at how much better it was than Buildertrend. No software is perfect, however my favourite thing about Buildern is their ability to genuinely listen to user feedback and quickly implement changes & updates. There has been alot feedback that I have provided to Buildern and they have pretty much implemented nearly every single suggestion I have made which has only made the software better for everyone. I have tried to provide the same feedback to Buildertrend in the past but it has fallen on deaf ears. Buildertrend seem more focused on building there client base up before trying to actually fix all the things that are wrong with it, whereas its evident that Buildern are trying to get the product working 100% from the start, which honestly is smart because the client base will grow organically once this is achieved. I really appreciate the Buildern team and have really loved working with them and am happy that we have finally found a complete software solution that actually works!

PROS

A comprehensive project management software that actually does what you need it to do!

CONS

I honestly can't really report anything that I dislike about Buildern. The few little items that I have provided Buildern feedback on have been rectified by them almost immediately!

All-in-one construction project management at its best!

PROS

The standout feature for me is undoubtedly their estimation tool. With just a few clicks, I can transform project plans into comprehensive estimates, complete with material and labor costs. What truly sets it apart, though, is how it allows me to personalize these estimates to my clients' specifications with remarkable ease. As for managing my network of subcontractors and suppliers, Buildern centralizes the whole process. Issuing purchase orders is a breeze directly from the central dashboard. And the seamless integration with accounting systems like QuickBooks means financial tracking is no longer a chore but a simple, automated process. I like how simple and effortless everything becomes with Buildern in my toolkit. It feels like every feature has been designed with user convenience in mind, turning what used to be intricate and time-consuming into straightforward, almost effortless tasks. The results are smoother project flow, clearer communication, and more time to ensure quality workflows.

CONS

If there's one aspect I'm eager to see evolve, it's the range of features within Buildern's mobile application. The current convenience it offers for on-site management is quite remarkable. However, having a more comprehensive set of Buildern's functionalities available on the mobile platform would greatly enhance the flexibility and freedom to manage projects on the move.
