Buildertrend Reviews & Product Details

I genuinely appreciate Buildertrend for its simplicity and versatility compared to our previous project management solutions. The help section and responsive bot provide precise solutions and steps, making the setup process quite intuitive for me. The scheduling feature is exceptionally useful in helping my engineering firm meet deadlines by clearly outlining project priorities from a client's perspective. Buildertrend addresses the challenge of aligning team priorities and managing deadlines effectively. The daily log is particularly invaluable as it meticulously maintains records of site visits and meetings with photos, alongside a robust 'to-do' section that saves significant time. The client weekly report feature enhances productivity by keeping clients well-informed. I find the daily log, scheduling, and chat sections stand out, as they help in updating projects, sharing information across departments, and keeping the clients updated about their projects. The management features of Buildertrend, particularly the daily log and scheduling functionalities, provide comprehensive updates from site visits to meeting notes, ensuring that project priorities are clear and deadlines are met.

I dislike that the software does not allow linking activities from other projects, which limits inter-project connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 is an essential tool for remodelers. It covers everything from scheduling and billing to selections and more. Our Project Managers find it very effective for keeping track of their jobs, and it also allows clients to easily monitor the progress of their projects. 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.

Customer Service and obviously an ecosystem that works.

We use Buildertrend every day for every aspect of our custom home project management, from communication, to documents archiving, to invoicing Clients and paying subs/vendors.

I love that they keep making improvements to it and keep thinking of ways to make it work better for us.

The custom support is our of this world. I have no idea how I can reach a human anytime I need help within on average 2 minutes. Blows my mind every time and every one is so knowledgeable and helpful.

I always like how it integrates with QB, though there are slight improvements to be made.

Anyone using BT for the first time can figure things out relatively easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being very attentive to detail by nature, I tend to stubble upon little things that could have been made better. But overall it's difficult to dislike anything about the software.

To be fair, it's not a perfect system, but it is an excellent one. Lightyears ahead of any other project management software.

There are lots of good ones out there, but none have made it so easy and pleasant to use and thought of every little thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All pertinent documents and job plans can be posted to a job. Completing daily logs to keep track of progress on jobs. Uploading photos of progress and issues so office can view in real time and figure out solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you upload a photo to the photos tab instead of under a job, it doesn’t get categorized properly. The photo just gets uploaded to the generic photos category and people trying to reference the photo. Have a hard time finding it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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).

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