CoConstruct Reviews

“Benefits of using CoConstruct in construction

Pros

Managing projects is a breeze, and I can effortlessly handle documents and estimate materials and labor for different tasks.

Cons

The lead tracking system is difficult to navigate and seems expensive compared to other options.

“A platform for construction project management

Pros

This application is excellent for monitoring onsite costs. It also enables me to efficiently manage tasks and deadlines.

Cons

The platform is quite difficult covering various aspects of construction. Therefore, it necessitates training for users, which should be considered in implementation costs.

“CoConstruct - Great software becoming extinct

Pros

Before Builder Trend acquired and abandoned it, the software was fantastic.

Cons

BuilderTrend has acquired the software and is no longer investing in its development, although they will continue to provide support.

“Convinced to switch then they rescended their offer. Did not keep their word.

Pros

I received a phone call pressuring me to upgrade from my trial, which I declined. However, a week later, I was informed that the trial was ending prematurely, and if I didn't upgrade, I wouldn't be able to use the product after switching. The representative avoided taking responsibility by attributing it to "higherups." There was no accountability.

Cons

Their lack of commitment and honesty is disappointing, as they haven't followed through on their promises.

“Agrxis Review on CoConstruct

Pros

I absolutely love CoConstruct, and it has become an essential tool for all my building projects. The extensive project management tools are one of the highlights of the software. CoConstruct covers every aspect of the building process, from initial planning and budgeting to scheduling and communication. Realtime collaboration with my team and clients has significantly improved productivity and reduced misunderstandings. The platform's intuitive navigation and user friendly interface make it easy to organize projects, track deadlines, and monitor progress. Integrated financial tools, including cost monitoring and invoicing, have simplified financial administration for my projects. Additionally, the customer service from the CoConstruct team has been exceptional, always helpful and responsive whenever I have a question.

Cons

While my experience with CoConstruct has mostly been positive, there are a few features that I didn't particularly enjoy. Firstly, especially for smaller construction companies or independent contractors, the pricing structure might be a bit on the costly side. For individuals seeking a more cost-effective alternative, the price could be discouraging.

“Great for any construction company

Pros

It's a simple way to keep track of schedules, change orders, and site photos. All the trades and team members can access and update information as needed.

Cons

When using the mobile app, I often encounter issues where projects fail to load, preventing me from accessing critical information on-site.

“Overpriced After Recent Increases

Pros

I found this tool very useful for managing projects. The design feels well thought-out. Working with budgets, purchase orders and change orders is simple and smooth.

Cons

We got locked into this system because exporting data is nearly impossible. Our small business was happy with it until last year when they suddenly raised our rates by around $5,000, completely blindsided us with that massive price hike. Since everything revolves around their software, you can't easily take your project data elsewhere. Youre basically trapped if you're not willing to abandon years of project history. I'd stay away unless you're prepared to lose all your data if you ever want to switch. We can't afford to lose our project records so we're stuck paying these ridiculous prices.

“A helpful tool for streamlining company processes

Pros

CoConstruct is an amazing tool. The program has been meticulously designed, allowing us to handle multiple tasks while organizing communications in one place. We can easily interact with others and ensure all materials are readily available for review. The mobile app is particularly useful for inputting data onsite. Our suppliers and contractors are benefiting from the comprehensive scheduling, and the assessment and determination reconciliation feature is an excellent tool for our workers.

Cons

It is advisable to provide descriptions when posting photos to CoConstruct. I would recommend avoiding CoConstruct altogether unless you can easily retrieve your project data. The way files from specifications and choices are posted can cause confusion in our transactions.

“L Co

Pros

It provides valuable information on task completion and schedule progress.

Cons

If you make adjustments to your schedule and someone interrupts, you lose all your data.

“Average cost effective management system

Pros

It's a simple management system for overseeing projects.

Cons

I wish it had the invoicing system in the style of G702-703.

“Best crm out there

Pros

I appreciate its high level of effectiveness.

Cons

It is not user-friendly and quite challenging for beginners.

“Project Manager

Pros

It's specifically designed for our industry. I'm still in the process of discovering all the program has to offer.

Cons

It took me a little while to navigate the program.

“CoConstruct

Pros

The estimating and cost database were incredibly helpful. Budget tracking was also excellent. I had been using Excel spreadsheets for years, and the estimate layout in CoConstruct was very similar, making it easy to transition.

Cons

The timesheet section did not accurately track overtime for our Canadian labor and payroll requirements at that time. Additionally, the photo quality was terrible. I also disliked that the cost was based on the number of projects.

“Encompassing Project Management

Pros

There's a feature that allows you to communicate about specific project aspects with subcontractors, designers, or clients. It's a fantastic way to track conversations and selections.

Cons

The estimating feature could be more comprehensive. I have found better customization options when reverting to a spreadsheet.

“Amazing onboarding experience

Pros

It has a detailed and beneficial dashboard that includes videos and resources for customer service. I can vouch that CoConstruct put a lot of time and effort into ensuring that users had all they required to utilize and get a grip on the software. Camp is helpful and necessary because it makes it easy to switch to the new software.

Cons

I would appreciate it if they added customizations for trade partner grouping and naming, along with some minor terminology changes. However, we are only really starting to use CoConstruct, so I’m hoping for a positive experience overall.

“Construct Connect misses connections

Pros

It's simple to operate and learn, although it turned out to be too simplistic.

Cons

The software lacks essential features, has limited reporting capabilities, fails to differentiate projects effectively (especially in reports), and the customer service is subpar.

“General Review

Pros

I love how the estimates seamlessly convert into proposals.

Cons

I am still new to the company and software, so I cannot provide a definitive opinion at this time.

“An Accountant's view of CoConstruct

Pros

Overall, the program has an abundance of features to track and control costs. It keeps both customers and office staff informed about the progress of each project. There are many untapped capabilities that I have yet to explore. However, it can be overwhelming at first without any training sessions or help desk support.

Cons

The standard program should include options for paying bills. For an additional $300 per month (Premium edition), the program should allow for the payment of ALL bills and expenses, including payroll. I would love to see it combined with a basic QuickBooks package for the extra cost. As it stands, I cannot justify paying an extra $300 monthly.

“Software review

Pros

It helps me, as someone with ADHD, stay focused and organized.

Cons

There's nothing negative to say about this company.

“Great CRM program that provides everything I need for Project management

Pros

The seamless scheduling feature is a great help in keeping projects on track and on time. The communication on both the web based platform and mobile app is excellent.

Cons

The learning curve for contractors and site workers can be overwhelming, depending on their level of technological proficiency.
