Buildertrend Helped Our Business Scale
Reviewed on 2/04/2024
Pros
Our team uses the scheduling tool and invitation to invite subcontractors to participate most often, allowing transparency in each project. Our showrooms are getting on board as well, it cuts down communication and adds eyes onto the project timeline for added accountability.
Cons
We don't have any complaints, the software exceeds the capabilities we need, leaving us with continued learning opportunities. More frequent scheduled training would be a bonus for those who have busy schedules, and the technology moves fast! However, we feel good the this software continues to innovate and listens to what its users need.

I would recommend this to other companies. My friend is using it perfectly for her real estate sales and marketing company. They're not even building but I'm finding that this platform is flexible and adaptable like that.
Pros
My favourite bit about this software is that I can add as many users as I like and not incur extra charges like we do for other software. At one point we had over 40 users. It's extremely helpful to us to have this feature because as a small business, we want to grow and it's difficult to do that if we can't include all the people we need in a system due to cost.
Cons
We had issues with the cost codes. There were issues that could only be dealt with through the backend. I wish we had the ability to fix things like that ourselves including uploading a csv into the system.

Looks decent but functionally very poor

I have been using it for a couple of weeks and having come from various construction software systems I am finding Buildertrend really poor. It feels like there has been some effort put towards the look and feel but functionally it just feels like everything is a workaround. the financial module is too far behind the functionality of a Quickbooks or Xero so it makes using it for processing really poor. We are looking for alternatives.
Pros
Project management side of it works well.
Support team very responsive and AI chat tool useful.
Cons
Its not made for UK! You have to add VAT manually to every proposal/quote and invoice!
Connection to Quickbooks is very basic and locked to one user!
No concept of Corporate clients with lots of contacts. Each Contact is a client.
Bill input is really slow in comparison to Quickbooks. No OCR features which is standard nowadays.
CRM tool is very basic
Reporting is very poor. Basic stuff like how much have i invoiced this month across all projects? cant do it!

Pros
The ability to track change orders was a huge improvement to our billing process, the scheduling is also very user friendly and easy to make small changes without having to redo a whole schedule.
Cons
I wish there was more customizable options to make it more unique to our company.
