Clean UI and Great Access to Projects **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** matias s. | Sales Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2026 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** I like how clean the UI is and all the projects I get access to. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** That there arent more tiers to the membership. I do not need all the services, I just need ITBs. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lead generation problem and RFI and Addendums that get issued regularly. ### 2. Connects us With Contractors all Over the Country **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2025 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** It is extremely helpful in managing the bid process. We were previously soliciting all bids via email and trying to track who things had been sent to and sending out follow up information or updated plans was a nightmare. This keeps everything in once place for everyone in our organization to access easily. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** I don't have many complaints about Building Connected Pro honestly. It's a simple system that does what it says it will do. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building connected has taken us out of the world of soliciting bids via email and which was an absolute nightmare to track. Sending out updates and worrying that someone was left off of the list was very common using that method. With Building Connected we are able to manage the entire bid process, send updates to the whole group instantly, and keep things organized without extra steps. We can import lists of bidders from previous projects and star our favorites to work with. It is also very helpful when we have out of town projects where we aren't familiar with the local contractors. It allows us to search for contractors within a certain radius of each project and normally we may not have known about them. Great system! ### 3. Effortless Project Bidding with Building Connected **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2026 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** Building Connected helps me seamlessly bid on projects **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** Building Connected's prequal communication management sometimes can be frustrating to connect with clients **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bidding on and winning projects and jobs ### 4. Reliably Connect With Contractors and Easily Aggregate Bids **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Derrek S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2023 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** I enjoy its reach and ability to cultivate a subcontractor base. It's easy to assemble bid packages and solicit bids from a wide range of subs. It's helpful to have a single platform in which to contact our subs on and takes a lot of the chance out of emails or other platform's communication not being delivered or seen in time. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** Some of the contact management tools are still super clunky. Bidders are able to be tagged internally, but tracking or sorting them by those metrics is often unreliable. It is also unfortunate that as the GC, we're unable to make any changes or suggested changes to the bidders profiles. Subs should, of course, be able to manage their own accounts, but we have no ability on our end to change the contact emails, or add a contact to an existing company profile. We are at the whims of the Building Connected team to manually make the updates or recommendations that we suggest. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** BC addresses the problem of being able to quickly and easily distribute bid invites for ongoing construction projects. It simplifies and centralizes the subcontractor/GC communication system, and allows for the acceptance and comparison of bid proposals. ### 5. Seems Effective **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julie F. | Marketing Coordinator, Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2023 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** It's one convenient site where I'm able to get addendums, documents, bidding details, ask questions, etc. One source of all information, that also allows me to track my pursuits--which ones I've one and lost, when to follow up, etc. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** I dislike the fact that it allows the bidders to bid multiple items all at once, without bothering to separate any information or make any sort of distinction between trades and professional services. I'm sure it's more convenient for THEM to just throw all documents up there without any sort of RFP, and let the bidders sort through and figure out what is needed, but it is frustrating from the bidding end. Also, there is often not a rhyme or reason as to which of our company contacts receives the invite on BuildingConnected. Despite the fact that I am the main contact for our company, there have still been occasions where I did not receive the invite, and was locked out of project bidding. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is one convenient site for multiple projects. I can easily check on the status of each, view all documentation, or communicate with the project team through it. This saves me time of having to dig through emails to see if key pieces of information were provided, and if not, who I need to reach out to to get that information. ### 6. Building Connected **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Caitlyn S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2023 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** It's perfect for managing everything for our bids and centralizing access for bidders and subcontractors: drawings, specifications, and addendum files. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** Occasionally, I wish that we could make changes to some of the information on behalf of subcontractors because they apparently think that we manage the directory. It's probably for the best that we can't just because of the administrative burden. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not having to send multiple, individual emails to send files that are often too large, print hard copies, or manage a Dropbox for subs is fantastic. When we've worked with other bidding platforms, we frequently have to do some combination of all 3. ### 7. Easiest bid management around **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark H. | Estimator/PM, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2023 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** Building connected was a great software to invite and connect with subcontractors and clients about new projects . **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** Not a BuildingConnected issue but a lot of subcontractors would submit proposals directly to the estimators email not through the system. While this is ok and you can manually enter them in the system, it becomes tedious on multiple jobs with hundreds of subs. BC also have a data reporting that pulls from those subs sending the number through the system so those number can be skewed when doing it this way. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** With BuidingConnected it was easy to send out bid invites to multiple trades quickly and efficiently. BC would provide data back on how many people were invited, who plans on bidding and counts bids received. Its a great tool to see real-time data on subs responding and bidding to help mitigate gaps in coverage or highlight areas of risk. ### 8. Amazing Bid Invite Management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2022 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** It would be easier to answer what I don't like. Uploading data was easy, creating bid invite templates was easy, sending out invites was easy, you can customize bid forms by trade/bid package, and best of all the bid leveling is briliiant! Of course you can also make notes on a record when following up with bidding vendors. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** I don't like how we aren't able to control the data. For example, if I know a contact is no longer with the vendor and have received the new contact, I can't do a thing! I have to notify BuildingConnected to update the record. Meanwhile, I have to make a note to remember on the next bid invite to send things to the new contact because BuildingConnected controls the data rather than letting us correct the contacts or company address, etc. **Recommendations to others considering BuildingConnected Pro:** Take your time when uploading your vendors. BuildingConnected will let you move really quick and even compromise on this step because of how easy their system is to use. but if you take your time then bid results will be even better. When attending training listen to what the trainer says. Don't assume or create your own process. Follow the process the system requires or you'll get confused or think something is wrong. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** BuildingConnected Pro is solving multiple problems for us. First, it has a large listing of vendors we can access to invite to bid on construction projects. Second, it has a great bid invite communication system. Third, it allows for unlimited users without affecting the pricing. Fourth, it allows for easy reminders. Fifth, the plan room is simple, easy to update, and easy for others to access. Sixth, bid leveling is amazing!!! Finally, it allows us to place our general conditions in the mix of bids so when we look at the bid leveling it already has some of our costs in it so there's very little work to finalize our bid once exported from the system. ### 9. Building Connected Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Phetsamone C. | Project Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2022 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** This program is fantastic for tendering a scope of work and finding trades that will give you a quote. Very easy to use and set up. You can include company's that are on building connect or even invite your preferred trades that are not on building connect. Communication and adjustment to the tender package are straightforward, and there is no need to send an email to each contractor. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** I have not found a downfall yet on this program, and I am pleased with what it does for me at the moment. Not too sure how much it costs to run and get each person access to the program, but it's awesome to use. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building connect is solving a few items for our company. One is to find trades/contractors in a specific area that does the work you require (MUA maintenance, Hanger door repair). We also use this program to put out tenders for a particular scope of work. The program will list all the contractors that deal with the scope, and we can request a quote. ### 10. Connecting brings new bidders **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Leslie G. | Process Improvement Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** Building Connected has given us the ability to connect with companies we may not know of. We have received and chosen bids from some of these companies which has made our bids more competitive. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** It can be difficult to remove unwanted emails. We are a GC but also did flooring subcontract work for a time. Even though we have changed our account information, we continue to receive unwanted flooring emails. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have received bids from companies that are not on our "go-to" subcontract list and are lower than other bids from subs on our "preferred" list. This has allowed us to expand our "preferred" sub list and submit more competitive bids. ### 11. Building Connected **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert R. | Administrator/Estimator/Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2022 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** Sorting by client, location, value, etc. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** There is not much to dislike. The product does what it is supposed to perform. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Management of preconstruction bidding database and easily assign to the correct employee ### 12. Easy to use bidding platform **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexandrea B. | Lead Generation, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2021 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** This site has the unique feature of coordinating with multiple office locations within the same company profile. It's easy to share projects across teams and alert them of any updates. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** No dislikes. This platform performs well, and we haven't had any issues with it thus far. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm currently utilizing BuidlingConnected to search for and solicit more RFP's. The projects I find in this platform are tailored to the vendor qualifications we set up, making the projects hyper-relevant and actionable. ### 13. Keeps your bid request organized and accessible, gives you peace of mind **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2020 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** Forwarding feature for all bid invites, keeps track of all requests **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** Search feature for bids, handling of bid submit in grouping, errors in some bid forwarding **Recommendations to others considering BuildingConnected Pro:** If youre still working with excel sheet to track your bid request, definitely switch over to a software like Building connected. It will give you peace of mind about not missing deadlines for bid requests and its a one stop place for all your bid invites. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeps track of all bid requests and have an easy overview about deadlines, good tracking tool ### 14. Building Connected is your Bid Management Solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeff G. | Estimator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2020 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** I really enjoy the robust access to subcontractors and the bid leveling feature. The ability to access many different reports. The ability to see the analytics of each project my company bids helps with assessing future opportunities. I really enjoy the ability to add new subcontractors to my bid list. I also like the ability to add unsolicited bids when leveling my bids. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** I honestly don't have many dislikes about this program. I guess the one gripe I have is the ability to update invalid emails for subcontractors. The companies that do not have valid emails should be purged from the system until the email is updated. **Recommendations to others considering BuildingConnected Pro:** I would challenge anyone to provide a more robust bid management program than BuildingConnected Pro. The features provided by BuildingConnected Pro are not offered by anyone else that I have been able to research. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem I am solving with BuildingConnected Pro is the ability to organize and efficiently level my bids. The benefits have been the reports that I am able to access through BuildingConnected Pro. Recently I had a negotiated project and the bidder lists and bidder response analytics helped with the trust between us and the client. ### 15. An excellent Project Bidding tool for General contracting and Subcontractor business **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2020 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** very easy to use. great to populate scope sheets, etc Reports are excellent **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** Not that i dislike, but the document management could include a "slip sheeting" function so multiple document issuances can be organized more efficiently **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** much better way to issue, track bid invites and responses ### 16. Bid Board Pro can help. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jim S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2020 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** I think that the most helpful tool in the Bid Board Pro Arsenal is the ability to track follow-ups using the dashboard or the calendar which can sync easily to Outlook®. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** Sometimes when sending Addenda notice emails they will be created as a new opportunity rather than being added to the existing opportunity. Also, when Syncing to an outlook calendar some of Outlook's Add-in's or features will not work. It is viable though and I guess that's all that really matters. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Missing followups is always a potential but with the way reminders are set up it is simple and easy to follow-up while having the Bid Board open filtering "Submitted" and leave comments either while you're talking or even cut and pasting replies form perspective customers to the whole team has access to those notes wirelessly. This helps keep everyone on the same page and affords us the opportunity to be flexible and collaborative. My follow-up Game is Rock Solid and I believe that has been helpful in staying "Front of Mind" with our customers. ### 17.

The program freezes and then kicked me out. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** The program allows us to access a wide variety of subs that we didn't have access to. ### 18.

The Bid Form needs work in general, but it works since it's all in the same platform as our ITB's. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to do work in one platform has been advantageous for us. We have seen efficiencies using bid forms and have created standard processes for bid forms and pre-qual/qualifications of trade partners. ### 19.

It is missing the ability to filter by all fields to determine contractor steps in the process to make it convenien to follow up on requests to subs/vendors and there is no final communication to vendors when they have qualified. **What problems is BuildingConnected Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** Streamlines bidding.

BuildingConnected offers a great solution for bid management on large commercial projects. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2017 **What do you like best about BuildingConnected Pro?** It's easy to get a snapshot of where you are in the bidding process. In a few clicks you can understand how many bidders you have for a particular package, interest in packages, and submitted bids. It's very easy to upload and distribute additional content to bidders that they need to incorporate into their bid. **What do you dislike about BuildingConnected Pro?** Sometimes BuildingConnect sends out too many automated emails.
