"Streamlines Project Management with Minor Hiccups"
What do you like best about Buildertrend?

I like Buildertrend's scheduling and to-do list features, which help me deliver projects on time. The daily logs are great for maintaining project updates and keeping clients updated through reports. These features are really useful for managing our multiple running projects and ensuring on-time delivery within our timelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildertrend?

In the recent updates, their documents are not working properly as it's blinking while opening. Also, the comments section is sometimes annoying. Initially, we had issues using its to-do lists and maintaining every project update in the daily log. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BuilderTrend is great for companies to get project organized"
What do you like best about Buildertrend?

We used BuilderTrend from start to finish - from your first estimate (and being able to receive payment), through managing the project, updating our clients, and wrapping and documenting everything, and finishing up real nicely (and being able to receive payment). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildertrend?

I didn't see a way to track all jobs by milestones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and User-Friendly"
What do you like best about Buildertrend?

Buildertrend is easy to use and not at all glitchy. It is mostly intuitive and superior to other similar apps of its kind that I have used. I appreciate not having to log in every time I use it as I punch in and out of it four times a day. Photos upload quickly and with no trouble from my android device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildertrend?

Switching between jobs while clocked in could be a bit simpler and easier to do.

The app could also do a better job of clearly distinguishing between which job is currently being displayed and which job the user is clocked in on.

My biggest complaint is that I receive constant (2-3 daily) email notifications regarding client activation and sub insurance expiration that have nothing at all to do with me, and I have not been able to disable email notifications no matter what I do. As someone that likes to keep a clear inbox, this is very annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing platform that offers comprehensive support & education on usage."
What do you like best about Buildertrend?

Buildertrend offers a platform that stores all of our necessary details, invoices, messages, and employee information in one place. The customer support is wonderful and have always had my questions answered when I've reached out. I use Buildretrend everyday and it is easy to use and navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildertrend?

Not really a dislike, this is more of a wish - would love for the ability to be able to click on a schedule item and move it around the schedule instead of clicking into it and changing manually. That way we could move an item from one job that is important to another job near it to compare and plan scheduling for subcontractors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great PM system"
What do you like best about Buildertrend?

We use BuilderTrend daily for almost all parts of our projects. We find their scheduling system allows us to keep all of our trades in the know about project timelines. We save all files to BuilderTrend for easy access in a single place, there's no trying to figure out where a document is. Keeping projects within budget is also in part due to BuilderTrend and being able to see costs and the budget throughout the entire construction period. Their tech support team is very responsive and helpful!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildertrend?

As with all programs, when updates happen is can occasionally throw a wrench in existing processes and result in relearning how to do something but that is normally done knowing that they have made something better by changing it. It is a costly program which is probably best used by a larger builder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boosted Efficiency and Saved Us Hours Each Week"
What do you like best about Buildertrend?

What I appreciate most is the ability to keep all my documents organized in one place. Having legally signed documents is especially convenient, as it's easy to capture signatures from the customer's perspective. I can also update estimates, manage change orders, and send invoices promptly. Our customers have found the system both professional and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildertrend?

The only aspect I dislike is that the engineers working on buildertrend are not the actual end users. This makes it difficult for them to fully understand how to make the platform more user-friendly and to grasp what a construction company truly needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vast Functionality but Overpriced"
What do you like best about Buildertrend?

I greatly appreciate Buildertrend for its vast functionality and the depth it offers in job estimation and tracking. The ability to manage and track jobs, along with the impressive cost analytics, has been integral to the success of my home remodeling business. Buildertrend's features have empowered me to determine job performance effectively, helping me identify which aspects of a job are performing well and which team members are excelling based on their performance metrics. The analytic features are particularly useful, providing me with valuable insights that contribute to informed decision-making. The software's ease of setup, supported by an attentive representative, made the transition smooth without any difficulty. I also find the exporting capabilities beneficial, allowing me to run cost reports and use it as an estimation tool for bidding on jobs accurately. It is one of the best tools in the industry, thanks to its comprehensive features and analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildertrend?

I think Buildertrend is expensive. Although it is one of the best tools in the industry, I believe it may be overpriced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buildertrend offers a wide range of features, which means there is a bit of a learning curve at first. However, once you invest the time to learn and understand everything it can do, using the platform becomes much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
