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.

Most important for me was the integrated planning and cashflow tool during the estimating phase and later for project control.

Priced and secured contracts from USD 2 M to 500 M.  Ability to build up rates from first principles and has great functions to calculate projects of all sizes and complexities.

Very good Software, Customer service very nice. Also it is very easy to use, once get experienced.

Candy's customer service is phenomenal, they offer great training sessions and constantly improve and innovate to keep the software in line with industry trends.

The difficulty in correcting a mistake. No revert to previous facility button.

Overall it's an excellent program that I would recommend to anyone. It is such a powerful tool for estimating and organizing projects.

Some time reports will get error and PDF view will be corrupted.

It safes time and money, and in business time is money. I love how I can do my programming, subcontracting and pricing all at once.

Its a user friendly software, easy to learn and very reliable.

The courses that you can do with the program is also fantastic and you learn so much.

No delays or loading times, covers a wide range of topics and brings  them together beautifully. More functions than I could ever hope to use.

The inability to integrate with other big-name financial packages is a downer. A one fits all fee structure is frustrating.

Access to help (have built up a good relationship with the reps over the years & have always had excellent service).

My experience with candy has been great so far. I have increased my speed therefore improving time management in pricing tenders.

Ease of Use, a great tool to use in estimating.

I would definitely recommend Candy to any Construction business. You have to keep up with changing times to stay ahead of your competition and Candy is one of the best ways to do so.

But recently I got introduced with Candy and it is really simple to understand and more powerful to work.

What I like most about Candy is the ease of using the product. Once you are set up and start going it makes your work a lot easier.

Very good estimating software rates can be built easily and utilize efficiently,no other software can compete in term of estimating and valuation.

I use it every day not only for tender estimating but also for cash flows and much more. It is a great product, with great support.

Out of all these products I like Candy because it is very easy to handle and less complicated. Price is also lower than the Primavera.

Candy is a very powerful and very user friendly project management software where so many software such as MS Project, Oracle Primavera tries to be the leader.

Functionality of QTO is very bad and inefficient,it is way behind other on screen measurements softwares.
