Part3 Reviews

“Simplify Your Contract Admin Today!

Pros

I can take control of the CA documentation prep and review process now instead of leaving it all to the contractor. Having my consultant team handle the distribution and timelines directly really makes everything run a lot smoother.

Cons

Editing change orders and quotes after they've been issued feels a bit awkward especially since the payment tools are still under development. The annotation and markup features for submittals are also hard to use and they're not nearly as smooth as Bluebeam, so consultants usually avoid reviewing submittals directly in the platform.

“Top-Tier Software

Pros

The interface is user friendly and I don't need any technical knowledge to get started. Navigation feels natural and easy. What stands out the most for me is the support team and they're unlike any other company I've worked with and they're truly exceptional.

Cons

The tool feels a little rough around the edges and I've come across some bugs here and there that can be really frustrating.

“Simple to use management software

Pros

I really like how architects can work together with consultants, contractors and owners all in one place. It cuts out the hassle of constantly emailing documents. It's easy to use even if you're new to construction administration. Customer support is quick to respond and does a great job solving any issues.

Cons

Sometimes, the Procore integration doesn't sync properly and document transfers can be a bit of a mess. Updates tend to break things that were working just fine which is annoying when you're depending on everything to function smoothly.

“Solid Organization Tool

Pros

I love being able to track which court has our items and how long responses are taking. It's such a relief not having to update multiple Excel spreadsheets just to keep tabs on SIs, CCNs, COs and submittals.

Cons

Setting up workflows takes forever because everything needs to be configured manually for each discipline and function. I really wish there was more automation. Creating new projects also takes way too long due to all the setup required.

“Design-Focused CA Software Excellence

Pros

It gives design professionals like me a great way to manage construction records without relying on contractors. It's easy to use and works well both in the office and out in the field.

Cons

While Part3 works well on tablets and iOS through the browser, I'm a bit uncomfortable with the lack of a dedicated app when I'm out in the field. I also wish photos taken for field reports would automatically save to my camera roll as a backup, it would make record-keeping and redundancy much easier.

“Simple and User-Friendly

Pros

It's so simple to go through comments, questions and RFIs, reviewing everything has never been easier.

Cons

It would be great to get an email notification when RFIs are closed.

“Great Software

Pros

The UI is incredibly user-friendly when it comes to uploading different document types. I really appreciate how the report log shows everything in such a clear and colorful way, making it easy to use.

Cons

The pricing submission process is confusing for me. I need to hit "submit" after uploading all my files but I thought it would work like the RFI and SD submissions.

“My go to tool!

Pros

I picked this up a few months ago and I'm really impressed with how simple everything is.

Cons

Honestly, nothing really bothers me about this right now.
