Contractor Foreman Reviews

“Love it!

Pros

Navigating Contractor Foreman is a breeze and the affordable plans make it even more appealing.

Cons

I just started using the software and up to this point I haven't come across any dislikes. So far it has been a great experience.

“Be cautious regarding their free trial period

Pros

Unfortunately I couldn't find any positive aspects to highlight.

Cons

As a general contractor (GC) seeking a scheduling and management tool I found Contractor Foreman appealing due to its free trial period. However after subscribing I realized the timing wouldn't work for me. I inquired about canceling my subscription but faced evasive responses until I surpassed the free trial period. Ultimately I was only offered a 75% refund despite paying for a one-year subscription. This was due to not completing the required information for the 100-day free trial period as mentioned in their fine print. I had evidence from emails I sent within the 30-day period but the company disregarded it citing their protocol. I felt deceived by the situation. I only logged into the system once or twice and I believe they had a way to track my activity and determine that I wasn't using the service during the trial period. Exercise caution when considering their trial period as additional steps are necessary to enjoy the full 100-day free trial.

“Saved my sanity!

Pros

Among the many features I appreciate the ability to track overall profit easily stands out. Adding bills labor and change orders is a straightforward process.

Cons

While not necessarily a con it would be helpful if estimates were saved automatically.

“Awesome Software

Pros

Contractor Foreman Software is user-friendly and continually evolving with new features.

Cons

Currently I have no issues or difficulties with the software.

“Lots of Potential

Pros

Contractor Foreman effectively manages nearly all aspects of custom home building. Its implementation is relatively easy and the interface is mostly intuitive.

Cons

At times the software can feel a bit cumbersome but the team is continually working on enhancing their product. Ease of use is particularly important for older employees.

“Enhances our capabilities

Pros

This product provides end-to-end project management covering the entire lifecycle of a construction project.

Cons

The product lacks certain features such as multiple selection copying and pasting and importing which are commonly found in similar products.

“Very Versatile

Pros

Contractor Foreman includes everything needed to manage the complete lifecycle of a construction project.

Cons

It would be beneficial to have a Gantt chart in the client portal.

“Powerful Construction Management Software

Pros

After using Procore I sought alternative options when starting my own company and Contractor Foreman surpassed my expectations. It offers comparable functionality at a fraction of the cost. In my opinion it is more user-friendly and enhances client engagement.

Cons

I have noticed a few minor bugs in the mobile app and the user interface could be improved when uploading photos.

“Great product even better customer service

Pros

While we are still in the process of learning the ins and outs of Contractor Foreman we have been pleasantly surprised by the swift and easy resolution of most of our inquiries. The customer service team's responsiveness has been exceptional providing us with a sense of security and finally consolidating our needs into one comprehensive package. After 48 years of dealing with various software systems and struggling to integrate them Contractor Foreman has emerged as the solution that wraps everything we require into a single reliable platform.

Cons

A more comprehensive CRM element would be greatly appreciated. The ability to send emails and track tasks is excellent but having a history of these actions within the system would enhance its functionality. It's possible that this feature already exists and we as new users may have overlooked it.

“This solved many of my workflow problems

Pros

I am satisfied with Contractor Foreman and plan to continue using it.

Cons

At times the software feels clunky and lacks certain customization options. However I believe these drawbacks will be addressed over time.

“The ONLY CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE you will need!

Pros

Contractor Foreman stands out with its user-friendly interface affordable pricing comprehensive feature set mobile compatibility responsive customer support and plan takeoffs.

Cons

There is nothing about the software that I dislike. If you are entering the construction management business and seeking a cost-effective construction management software Contractor Foreman is the software you need to manage your projects.

“Best CRM for large sales workflow & project management pipeline

Pros

The ability to customize pipeline statuses and the kanban card view are standout features. Integrating all data into one cloud-based system accessible to everyone initiating mobile timecards with project coding and more make it a highly versatile solution.

Cons

Some required fields are unnecessary for my needs. The software's level of customization is not as extensive as I would prefer and it lacks automation capabilities.

“Great Product With Lots of Features

Pros

Contractor Foreman offers a low-cost pricing structure excellent customer service a wide range of features and continuous improvements.

Cons

I have encountered some occasional glitches and manually inputting bill items and work order items can be somewhat burdensome.

“Got ripped off by Foreman

Pros

Unfortunately there's nothing outstanding about the features that other software companies also provide.

Cons

The software has a very rigid structure limiting customization options. Not all tables within the software communicate data with each other resulting in redundant data entry. The online chat support is not truly live chat but rather sends an email on your behalf leading to response times of 6-34 hours which is insufficient for resolving issues or obtaining timely answers.

“Terrible Usability. Sammy Terms & Conditions

Pros

The price may be affordable but the experience with the company has been disappointing.

Cons

The usability of the product is extremely poor. For instance I wanted my contractors to write daily logs but the process required four steps which was frustrating. Even after convincing them to do so the dashboard only displayed the project name without the daily log title. Due to these difficulties I decided to invoke the 100-day money-back guarantee but unfortunately it turned out to be a total scam. When I asked for guidance on invoking the guarantee they abruptly canceled my contract and refunded only $350 citing obscure terms and conditions. I caution against purchasing this software unless you want to bid farewell to your money.

“Extremely pleased so far

Pros

Within just a month of using Contractor Foreman we've already leveraged its employee management features like time cards and GPS location tracking. The integration with QuickBooks is yet to be explored and we eagerly anticipate how it will streamline our payroll process. One notable feature is the ability to translate the app into Spanish benefiting our Spanish-speaking employees. We've also begun utilizing the Projects tab which has proven helpful for cost tracking project information and daily reporting. So far our experience with Contractor Foreman has been positive and promising.

Cons

Although we haven't utilized the program to its full capacity yet we have no negative feedback to provide at this time.

“All construction management features into one

Pros

The time clock management system in Contractor Foreman provides accurate GPS tracking when employees clock in which pleasantly surprised us.

Cons

It would be desirable for Contractor Foreman to have a more visually appealing interface. The ability to choose between dark mode and light mode would be a fantastic addition!

“Their staff is always there to support me

Pros

The flexibility of Contractor Foreman is commendable as users can easily edit add and customize forms and processes according to their preferences.

Cons

The software lacks ease of use and cannot be simply plugged in and utilized.

“Useful management software

Pros

Contractor Foreman encompasses all the necessary components for a construction company's operations.

Cons

Onboarding all the information can become challenging.

“Good program

Pros

I have only been using this program for a short time but it is very user friendly. I was able to pick up on it very quick.

Cons

Still working through it. I will have to add to the review later.
