Buildr Reviews & Product Details

I like Buildr's clean, usable interface. I appreciate that it tracks my project budgets throughout a design life-cycle and makes it easy to draw upon those past and current budgets. The initial setup of an account and getting started as a new user is very easy and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few small improvements that could be made to the estimating tool that would make a big impact on its usability and efficiencies. Some things that could help a lot include: some export or reporting feature of all VE/Change items within an estimate, ability to add a line item number or something similar to control the order in which line items appear within a single cost code, ability to show the sum of each CSI division or cost code as a $/SF against the overall building GSF, and ability to customize the Milestone Reports before creating the report. Customizing things such as titles, adding cost/SF or other metrics to the report would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pros for me are that it is easy to setup and use, collaborative, leads vs projects (opportunities), workforce planner, unlimited views with useful filters, custom fields, and the integration with Procore. We haven't had a chance to use the forecast, budget, and cost modeling feature due to a limitation on our end, but once we adopt the new accounting software and update our CSI Master cost code list.

The biggest drawback for me is that there isn’t a good way to track re-bids or projects that are bid more than once. We do a lot of preliminary pricing, and it typically involves more than one round of pricing, so it’s hard to keep everything organized and easy to follow. The reporting feature could also use some much-needed improvement, especially to give us more control over formatting and to make dashboard creation more flexible.

The BUILDR customer support team is great. We use BUILDR daily to manage LEADS, Workforce, and Projects all of these functions helped to streamline our processes. The implementation and integration were an easy roll out through the company. The interface is easy to use. It's hard to put all of the benefits into 40 words or less. I typically have BUILDR constantly up in my browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some o analytics are difficult to keep accurate. Extrapolating cost models or budget comparisons from the system in a client viewable form would be a great feature. Filtering to create specific reports, views, functions can be a bit cumbersome and difficult to figure out. It's hard to tell where BUILDR is connecting the dots for certain relationships between functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buildr has one of the easiest user interfaces of CRM's I have ever used. I have helped implement 4 CRM's in my time, and this also had the quickest setup time. I love that every piece of data can be edited and that there is a change history, so you know when and what was changed and who changed it. The Buildr team is also great at listening to what we need and pushing it into development if it makes sense overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few quirks, for example when you are scrolling through a calendar it jumps up and down which makes it a little difficult to quickly go through months. Not having availability of filters on every view, for example, on the utilization page it would be ideal to be able to hide any projects not currently active without having to delete the workforce role, because it would be great to have those dates to look at in the future when we refer back to the project. I know there is a way to do this in a different view, but for our workflow, we want to see utilization categorized by person so we can see what all they have going on as opposed to seeing it by project which doesn't give us the full story of how the person is utilized.

What I like best about Buildr is the ease of use for all employees. The platform is easy to navigate and is something that our team is constantly using and updating. The customer support is outstanding from the team at BUILDR. I was extremely worried about the transition and implementation process, but they made it seamless to integrate into our workflow and get all of our current information transferred over.

The only downside to Buildr that I have found is that sometimes we cannot customize things exactly how we want them; however, we always find a sufficient solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease and ability to customize Buildr, add fields, filter, and create different reports or views very simply. I appreciate being able to see all of our data in one place instead of having to go to multiple platforms. We can track upcoming projects, our people, all of our customer relationships, our project information, ongoing pursuits, and more. All of our data is conveniently consolidated. Additionally, the initial setup was extremely easy, and it was user-friendly enough that new users could understand it in about thirty minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to see more customization options on the leads tracking portion, but that's a new feature that they just rolled out. So I know that feature will come in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a non-nonsense CRM that I utilize as our primary CRM. The ability to track jobs completely through the pre-construction process works well. The ability to easily use/compare previous projects for budgeting purposes. The people that we've dealt with at Buildr have been terrific. They have proactively reached out to ensure our success. They are reachable and helpful, and if they can't help us they take the suggestion to heart and seem to be always working at making the software more robust Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigation overall is smooth but some steps are a bit clunky or not intuitive for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Buildr has been a valuable tool for our team and has helped streamline project organization and internal communication. The platform provides clear visibility into project information, documents, and workflows, which makes coordination between departments much more efficient. As a general contractor, having centralized access to up-to-date project data has improved accountability and reduced delays caused by miscommunication. Overall, Buildr has supported smoother project execution and has become a reliable part of our daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area for improvement is that some features are not always immediately intuitive for new users and may require additional training or onboarding time to fully utilize the platform’s capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’ve had a great experience using BUILDR on our projects. The contacts feature makes it easy to keep our subcontractors, vendors, and team organized in one place, and the commitments tool has been especially helpful for tracking scopes and staying on top of who is responsible for what. It’s a straightforward platform that keeps our jobs organized and our team aligned from start to finish. Overall, BUILDR has been a solid tool for managing our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While BUILDR has been helpful overall, there are a few areas that could improve. Some workflows take a few extra clicks compared to other platforms, and certain fields aren’t as customizable as we’d like for unique project setups. The mobile experience can feel limited when trying to review or update detailed information in the field. We’ve also noticed that reporting and exports sometimes require manual adjustments after pulling data. Integrations with other software could be more robust to reduce double entry. None of these are deal breakers, but refining usability, customization, and reporting would make the platform even more efficient for day-to-day project management.

I really enjoy having all the contacts in one place and the ability to sort them between architects, engineers, and developers. I also appreciate being able to create a list of tasks to follow up with clients. Buildr helps by giving us reminders for tasks that are coming up due and helps us keep track of our bids, including our win and loss ratio. The setup was quite easy; all we had to do was log on and go through the tutorial, which made it very easy to start using. Builder just seemed better to put it all together in one place compared to tracking clients in an Excel format and using Teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have any dislikes at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
