Review

It saves us time and greatly helps our clients to better understand the costs of their projects.

PROS

The product is very easy to use and new staff can easily pick it up. We've been waiting for this type of software for a long time and use it on a weekly basis especially during the early stage of a project or when pitching for new clients.

CONS

I don't think there are any faults to be honest. Customer support is amazing and what I like is that if there is an issue or something missing, they can add it immediately.

A fast efficient Tool

Its a handy tool to produce quick estimates that can be downloaded as a branded PDF and given straight to the customer. It is capable of doing much more but would benefit from some tutorials showing how to use it effectively, and maybe a guide on what build elements are called so they can be found easier in the database.

PROS

I use it for estimates because I can produce a rough estimate very quickly. The tool is capable of much more than estimating but I for me personally I find the tool difficult to use and get the most out of it.

CONS

For me I find it difficult to produce an accurate quote. It is very good at producing an estimate and will include what I deem to be an example of how the project can be built. However, all projects are different and when I try to alter the build elements to fit what I'm actually going to be doing I can't find suitable items in the database.

PROS

It is a really easy to use interface and works well on all modern browsers.

CONS

It takes a lot of time to tweak it to work in a similar way to what I require. It also doesn't allow me to show costs in the way that I would like.

Vendor Response

Hi Ian. Thanks for your feedback. The reports and costs are entirely customisable so this is possible. We did offer free additional set-up for you so you could have the information generated exactly how you wanted but you said you were too busy and unsubscribed. If you'd like to give it another go you're welcome to get in touch any time and we'll give you a free set up call and month subscription to get you going. All the best! H

The easiest way to create outline build costs reports (fast!)

PROS

The platform is very easy to use, and it allows me to quickly put together an outline cost plan for a property renovation or extension at a much earlier design stage than I did before. Basically from a floor plan sketch design. This means I can give my clients a realistic idea of build costs at a very early stage before we've invested lots of time and money in fully developing a design. It gives us a 'sense check' we are on the right track before developing the design further. I also like the support I get from the team. If I ever have a question about using the platform, they are very proactive at getting back to me.

CONS

Nothing immediately springs to mind. I really like the platform.

Buildpartner pricing software

Overall I am happy with the pricing software. It is very easy to create job costs with a project timeline.

PROS

The software has built in prices. When I need advice or I need to create new tasks with costs, I use the chat feature or send an email, the quantity surveyors on the other side generate a work sheet or template for me to use. I can log into the software from any device wherever I am.

CONS

I used a new trial service for Buildpartner to input the data to generate costs for a whole project. It didn’t really work for me. Although I can log into the software from any device, this pro can become a con when the internet service goes down.

Reasons for switching to Buildpartner

I watched a demo of Buildpartner in action and asked for a trial.

Very helpful

Very good. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the team are always responsive to any suggestions I make or questions I have about how to use the software.

PROS

I like using Build Partner as an independent tool to calculate a build cost for construction projects. I like the flexibility of adding extra rooms and their dimensions. Sometimes it has come up with a build cost that means that a project is not viable, which has also been helpful to stop me making a costly mistake.

CONS

Sometimes it takes longer than expected to create a build cost analysis, and when this has been the case [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has said that they can do it for you.
