It is capable of doing a large variety of things and helps with keeping all the jobs straight.

The integration with Planswift works awesome. Phone support is always great too.

Some of the accounting package link-up can be frustrating and we lost a function recently which was not particularly helpful for us and was driven by other contractors needs who use the software.

Overall the experience has been great and they have great and responsive customer service.

The ease of use, very client friendly, the ability to track every jobs progress.

Buildertrend has helped set up my business for success. It is an excellent tool for a growing company and helps you scale pretty easily.

It is a great way to keep alot of information on all of our jobs in one place and the budget tool is great.

Buildertrend is an amazing tool - it helps us keep track of all of our projects seamlessly. One of my favorite assets about BT is their customer service.

I like the daily logs as well, it’s a great little communication tool for project management. Finally the sub portal is fantastic.

Very useful program!!! Easy to navigate and super user friendly with all the support you could need at anytime.

Rich applications sets like this can be overwhelming to implement,  but there is a good amount of training / coaching available up front.

It is great and links very well with Quickbooks. Very happy about job control and able to keep schedules and costs.

They are very poor and make it hard to deal with large data sets. Their filters are missing exact matches between items in the same category.

Unable to autosave to-do's or the daily log is obnoxious. If you accidentally close out the program you lose all data.

In dealing with the company financials, this is a fantastic product for us to have visibility from estimates to actual cost tracking.

I like how everything integrates and the number of features it provides. I love that you can use it in the phone.

The Daily Log feature is great and our customers love it. Overall, very happy with BT and looking forward to future improvements.

This went on for months before I realized it was happening. When asked them to refund the missed months before I continued with buildertrend they simply said “they can’t refund any charges.

Buildertrend has been great so far and we are happy we chose to use this product. Hopefully as some of these new fixes / integrations get worked out the tool will become even more useful for us.

Their customer service is unmatched in how responsive, friendly and helpful they are with questions or technical issues.

BuilderTrend has the best customer service (help desk) I have ever had. They have saved me on many occasions.

I like how user friendly it is for me. I am 26 years old. I understand how to operate a computer.

This platform brings loads of organization with the features it offers. This is a great way to help keep the contractor, sub-contractors, employees, and homeowner on the same page.

The worst drawback is that there is essentially no function for schedulING.

Inability to customize the POs to subcontractors and  lack of an instruction manual.

They recently came out with a new pay structure which nearly doubled the costs of the program. Its a shame as we are now looking elsewhere for a program that has many of the same functions.

It is very easy to access, it is user friendly and i am really enjoying learning new things each week. Tutorials are very good and easy to understand.

We get great support whenever we need it. I love that it connects with quickbooks which takes away the need to double input.

What I like most about BuilderTrend is it's ease of use, the customization ability of the software, and the ease of edit/revision.

It is a wonderful tool to use when building a home. You can upload all of the selections, personalize all the jobs, upload pictures and follow through on the schedule and to do's.

I like the ease of the change order approval and decline, and the change orders are interactive with the appropriate vendors and subtrades.

Your online help, live chats and training videos are EXCELLENT. My coach has been extremely helpful and I have gained much knowledge from my personal appointments with him.

I have been using Builtertrend for a few years and Im happy with the pricing structure and mobility and great to have real time help. I usually dont have trouble with speed and thats a big plus.

We are happy with the frequency in the ITBs and the quality of the projects.

The UI is incredibly user friendly and straightforward. The ease of access to all of the plans is helpful.

Very helpful getting to bid projects in the commercial industry that I would have been able to bid prior to be set up with PlanHub,  also the ability to pick and choose projects geographically.

I can't stand that it lumps brick, block and stone altogether. We are a stone company so I waste a tremendous amount of time looking at jobs to find out there is no stone on them.

What we like the most are  Facility and price this softwre.

Sometimes deadlines for quotes are too close to when info was received. I have to make drawings for Fire Alarm systems - lack of time.

The software is definitely user friendly and the support staff is friendly and helpful.

Good all in all, and I like the price point. Very similar info is on other sites and costs way more elsewhere.

I really enjoyed the free trial with this software and the ease of navigating the menus. I wish they would either extend the longer free trial or lower the monthly/yearly price.

It compiles a great number of opportunities into one place. It is a great way to find potential clients and get in front of them.

I dislike the delay of having the data sent to us. There are some instances where the information is sent to late.

PlanHub has been useful for obtaining proposals. This is especially helpful for out of town projects that we may not have a strong presence in.

Easy to use, great features. Love how easy it is to send invites and get bids.

This has improved our ability to be extremely competitive while enabling us to  forge new and lasting relationships with subcontractors.

The simplicity in the design is definitely a winning feature.

Great Product for Competitive Pricing in a Unknown building market.

The selection of trades and inability to export the subcontractor coverage.

I really like the user friendly aspect of it, great customer support team, happy customer have used them for years.

In theory this should benefit my business because it presents a pool of potential clients to engage with and try to build relationships with.

The software integrates well with how our sales and development team already function.

From the subcontractor's end, to many useless emails. No contacts at the GC to ask any questions about the bid, plans, nothing.

It is very user friendly. I like how easy it is to navigate through each screen and how it has expanded our subcontractor base.

Their aren't any things that i dislike about this software.

I'm new and havent won any jobs. But to how easy it is. its definitely  giving me high Hope's of winning my first job.

I love the ease and convenience of the site. I have had great results with receiving bids back from the subs.

Thanks to Plan Hubs I get as many leads as i can chase down and they are quality Leads, My revenue has Tripled and my client list has grown ten fold.

The inability to send attachments or hyperlinks.

The take off capabilities for drawings and floorplans and the ease of use were huge benefits.

Its a good service and reasonable in cost for what you do get.

Cost Database is easy to use and has integrated into my business so easily.

Customer service is amazing. I have never had to wait for help and one of the rep is so patient and helpful.

Lack of response from the subcontractors. Not being able to add one more subcontractor and send to just that one.
