“Buildertrend Review

Pros

The platform brings extensive organization features reducing paper usage and enhancing collaboration among stakeholders.

Cons

Complexity in features and challenges in knowledge transfer to other users.

“Don't waste your time

Pros

Limited satisfaction compared to other software used in the past.

Cons

The significant deficiency lies in the software's estimating functionality which has become a laborious process. What used to take 56 hours for producing an estimate with detailed costing items now stretches to 2 days. Moreover the lack of an option to selectively update proposals when supplier prices change is a notable drawback. The current system forces a manual update for each proposal resulting in a timeconsuming task.

Excellent CRM project scheduling estimating and budget management capabilities though some features are more suited for highlevel management.

Cons

Limited flexibility in using the software for specific workflows issues with templating carryover.

Pros

The program's thoroughness is noteworthy as it seamlessly incorporates all processes and information without encountering any challenges in implementation.

The software's learning curve is somewhat challenging compared to other competing programs attributed to its complexity and extensive range of features.

Despite these challenges we opted for this program due to its feature richness without the accompanying high costs. Users can contribute to shaping the software by voting for improvements offering a glimpse of potential enhancements in the future.
