BaseBuilders Reviews & Product Details

I like that Base Builders listens to our requests and concerns and is continuously updating features to make things easier to us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of any issues at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used BaseBuilders software / programs for over 22 years and could not run our Architectural Firm efficiently without it. We track all of our clients, vendors, project progress, billing, and accounts receivable precisely. The dependability, service, and technical support we continuously receive is 5-star and second to none. They are our trusted advisors, and have kept us completely satisfied as our choice for our core business functions. It is easy and intuitive to use, yet has robust features beyond what our company uses. I highly recommend BaseBuilders for Architectural and Engineering Businesses.

BaseBuilders is committed to continuous improvement. Should one skip any program updates, it could take a moment to get back up to speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We want the functionality of the big architectural accounting programs but without their price tag or administrative overhead.

Praesto AE integrates timesheets, invoices, contracts, forecasting and proposals. It automates transfer of data to QuickBooks for financials, payroll and government remittances.

We deploy Praesto AE to every desk. This is part of our work culture. It gives employees the information on how a project will be financially successful which they act on, and which makes us more successful. Every-desk deployment is affordable with Praesto AE. We have yet to find an employee who can't figure out how to use it.

The Praesto AE team give us good service. They manage the server, doing upgrades and remote maintenance. There is a real, knowledgeable person at the other end of the line when we call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a few different features. I'd like a timer feature in the timesheets. I'd like a Gantt chart mapping our contracts, and I understand this is in development as many users have asked for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BB is constantly evolving and will frequently integrate feature requests. They are very dedicated to providing a comprehensive package that addresses our needs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are glitches when they roll out a new change, but the BB Team quickly resolves these (within a half-hour of my reporting it even - REALLY! So maybe it's not a negative after all). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is userfriendly and once you learn the basics it is a great cloudbased software to track our Projects, Staff project hours, Invoicing project work, and much more. I love the support that Basebuilders supplies on How To. I work in Basebuilders_Praest every work day and it is the basis of organizing my work day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to create custom reports to use at a later date but having said that, once you get familiar with the reports and how that process is structured you can easily find what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does almost everything that I want to: Address book, projects and proposal tracking, invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- expenses are ok in general, but it doesn't have the option to manually enter the taxes and other fees (gratuity, deposits, liquor tax, misc. fees). Also, there is no place to add comments for expenses. So, we had to carry a separate excel spreadsheet to keep track of our invoices. - It can't filter projects based on location. It seems like it's an easy filter to add. - During invoicing, we can't override expenses charges and mark-up. - Monthly fee instead of Annual fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BaseBuilders is a great tool for managing the time spent on billable projects and generating invoices. I like the tools that allow us to track project profitability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not always easy for me to learn the function behind some of the software's niche bells and whistles. The areas which are not intuitive to me are a mystery Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a software that works, I guess. I can log my time for the various projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Searching projects is so slow with unnecessary steps. I should be able to print a document from each project's dashboard, but I have to navigate to the Docs page in order to complete that task. Switching windows and saving information is slow and makes for a very clunky experience, stopping and starting too much during the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
