BuildTopia Reviews

Pros

It is simple to use while still offering a lot of power. It seems to think and work the way a builder does and feels carefully designed.

Cons

There isn't much I can point to as a dislike right now. When I have run into something I didn't like, I brought it to customer support's attention and the issues were discussed and changes were made.

Pros

I find it's sales side to be its most helpful module since it lets me manage everything tied to sales, design and closing for each buyer throughout the entire process. After closing, buyers have a wonderful place to access their information on the homebuyer homepage there.

Cons

I'm unable to pull reports across multiple datasets and I'd like to see more emailing functions added to the system for tracking purposes, mainly on the trade side.

Pros

Since this tool runs in a browser, everyone on our team can access it easily. It's simple to use, works well with Sage and customer service responds quickly.

Cons

No real downsides come to mind; it's a good solution.

Pros

It puts the key tools right on the first few screens and tabs so getting around the system feels simple. The setup team was very supportive and did a really good job helping us get everything set up and running. It handles costing for different items well and also connects with Dynamics Software which is a big plus. We're able to keep multiple house budgets, duplicate an existing budget and then adjust it for a different site without rebuilding the whole thing from scratch. Another feature that saves time is being able to add one budget item across several budgets at once instead of opening each budget individually.

Cons

I'd still like to see room codes, standard units of measure and redline drawings added to the software. There's also a learning curve at the beginning and it can be a little challenging to understand well enough to train other people until you really get used to how it works.

Pros

We use it for our daily activities and to put together activity packages at home. It also has excellent data storage.

Cons

It's hard to use and learning it requires taking a class.

Pros

Tracks the build from contract through post-closing warranty, with everything needed along the way. The dev team is very open to improvement requests.

Cons

Approved enhancement requests may take over a year to be implemented.
