Good but buggy

I am assuming Buildshop focuses on the paid version for use with professional contractors because the home owner version feels like an afterthought. The team answering their facebook page messages early on told me they were still in Beta and so I offered to be a beta tester because I was doing a deep dive with the sioftware trying to organize the myriad of projects and contractors for my home renovation. Most of the options are not suited for qa home owner, things dont work or the information gets pulled from the wrong fields, other fields populate in multiple builds even though they should only be notes for that one bid. I have emailed them many times suggesting a better way to do it that made sense for a home owner that is renovating and NOT a contractor working on multiple contracts but most oif them were ignored. Ultimately it is a good place for me to keep records of my bid requests but very little else which is sad because it really has a lot of potential to help someone like me that is just trying to renovate their home.

Pros:

I am a home owner using the free version of this software so I cannot discuss options in the paid contractor version. I like that it is free, that I can manage all the bids for my projects and keep notes for each of them.

Cons:

Free version is VERY VERY buggy. Ive even emailed the Buildshop team on facebook with dozens of bug finds and while they seemed appreciative, 85% of them were never addresses.

Pros:

Home remodeling can be a royal headache. Thankfully BuildShop helps aggregate everything so the process is far simpler. No more need to keep toggling between different spreadsheets and notes. Note that they have one for consumers and one for home professionals. For the consumers, they allow for easy organization for project ideas and inspirations create scrapbooks, browse pictures, organize image galleries, create lists and take notes all in one place. Attractive and accessible dashboard with a comprehensive project overview and quick summaries. Checklist, schedules, and to-do lists to help manage every task and every timeline. Budgeting tools and expense trackers to forecast, log, and control spending. Search and connect with pros, get and compare quotes. Manage contacts. Share ideas, sketches, and plans.

Cons:

Nothing glaring as of now. As with any newer software platform, the minor bugs will be worked out as they get feedback from the community.
