About Builterra

Builterra provides full web-portal access to real-time inspection data, progress quantities, progress payment dashboards, and detailed payment reports streamlining the approval of end of month invoices from the contractor.

Standardization of bid items and specifications for the purposes of cost estimating is a common goal for all public sector organizations and the civil engineers who work for them. The Builterra cloud built on Microsoft Azure, assures that all internal and external consultants are using the most up to date items used in the bid process. This opens the door for public sector pre-construction e-procurement, construction progress tracking, and post-construction quality assurance and asset management.

Primarily catering to civil engineering consultants and infrastructure project owners, the Builterra mobile data collection app enables field QA/QC staff to capture any data, photos, pdf markups using phones or tablets. All inspected data, photos, and quantity data from awarded bids are independently geolocated, which can also include project alignment name, station, and offset data. Pricing is available on annual subscriptions, and support is extended via emai...

Builterra, a smart solution for construction projects.

In general, this software is highly recommended for the accompaniment of a construction project. In my experience it has helped me a lot for real time cost estimation and construction progress monitoring. The multiplatform option makes it versatile for the management of a construction project. Although this software has several aspects to improve, I think it delivers what it promises and has great potential in the construction world.

Pros:

In my opinion what Builterra does best are the cost estimates it performs in real time, in addition to the automation for the analysis of the different bids. A plus point of this software is that it is based on BIM methodology. Integration with a web platform and a mobile app makes the software more versatile. Although it standardizes, streamlines and connects the contract management of a construction project, it is not difficult to use. This software helps a lot in site inspections, as it allows taking photos to monitor construction progress. Finally, as for the price, I believe it is cost effective for a company, and the software has a trial or demo version.

Cons:

What I liked the least about this software is the mobile version, I think they should constantly update it to show a nice interface and correct some glitches. Even the organization of works report can be improved. Finally the customer support should be more efficient and technical.

Reasons for choosing Builterra

I chose this software over its peers because it offers the possibility of multiplatform, the affordable price, the tool to monitor the progress of work and analyze costs in real time.

Overall this is definitely an improvement over a clunky excel file, but there is still bugs and a lot of untapped potential left in the app.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I do like the template feature, the automatic weather feature, the contract item drop down list, and the “get location” feature. They did a great job on integrating this app for our projects.

Cons:

1. Should be able to complete the daily and EWO report without using the web app. Should be able to complete a report within the mobile app alone. 2. Once the inspection is reviewed it should automatically append a digital signature and then get sent to the contractor for their digital signature. 3. In the mobile app review mode, text overlaps making it difficult to find the item your are trying to review 4. You should be able to adjust the order that the items appear in the pdf or excel report. The web app allows the item # to be changed but this is not reflected once the report is produced. 5. Rows should automatically adjust in the final report if a remark is expanded upon. 6. If an item is deleted or modified in the mobile app for both dailies and EWO it is not always reflected in the final report. 7. Contract pay items appear to give you the impression that you can change the pay item that was initially selected, but this does not get reflected on the final report. 8. Ideally the create inspection and modify inspection are not on separate interfaces.

Vendor Response

We appreciate your review. We're thrilled to hear you're pleased with some of our key features and the integration process was great! The Mobile App can be used to ¿Create¿ a new Daily and Extra Work Order, review and edit any previously submitted data using the ¿Review Mode¿. Completed daily and EWO can be approved and emailed to any external reviewers, all without use of web portal. The review process does add a digital time/date stamp for inspector, external reviewers and supervisor. Unfortunately, we only have 1000 chars to respond so we can't address everything here. Please reach out to support@builterra.com as we'd love to have you on our Platform Advisory Council! We're planning major updates to our user interface this Fall so stay tuned. Thank you for this valuable feedback! Users like you ensure the platform keeps getting better.

Chad, Thanks for your review! We're so pleased to hear you find our inspection and reporting capabilities "second to none" and that you've received "top notch support"! In terms of cost, the subscription for large numbers of users can be negotiated once an organization commits to Builterra. Feel free to reach out! At present, reports are custom coded. As the product evolves, we look forward to including user defined report configuration to reduce the need to customize and bring better reporting flexibility. Thanks again Chad. We truly appreciate your time.

Pros:

We haven't fully implemented the full suite of tools within Builterra yet, so I am most pleased with the ability to control the catalog of items to prevent users from creating too many one-off items. As we move forward, the ability to query past tender pricing for estimating purposes is invaluable to me as a Project Manager. Ultimately, once we are using the inspection component full time, I can't wait for the daily inspection reports with photos and GPS located notes, etc.

Cons:

None. The only drawback to this software is the same and any other business software : implementation. It is always difficult to get 100% "buy-in" but in time, I am confident all Project Managers here will appreciate the power and usefulness of Builterra.

Vendor Response

So this review made our day! We were thrilled to hear that you appreciate Builterra as 'invaluable' when it comes to querying past tender pricing for estimating and look forward to your organization's full adoption! We agree that implementation is always a challenge when it comes to adopting a new software that replaces the 'old way' of doing things. We look forward to seeing increasing numbers of your organization's Project Managers experience the power of Builterra. Thank you again for your review!

I like that this has taken us from paper to digital copies of our inspections reports. It also helps me stay incredibly organized.

Cons:

It can be complicated to use at first. However once you learn the steps, it's not that bad. The software could also use some sprucing up. The UI isn't visually appealing and lacks gesture support for iOS.
