Buildr Reviews & Product Details

Buildr strengthens Owner-Contractor relationships by helping you radically improve project handover with streamlined closeout, a (finally) Owner-useful turnover package that's standardized across all projects, and an all-in-one platform for warranty management. Winning new business is impossible to predict, which is why we want to help you ensure repeat business well into the future. Look, closeout isn't fun. We get it. By automating document requests and giving specialty contractors portal access to upload what they owe you, you'll keep track of your closeout progress without getting bogged down by follow-up and manual organization. Don't sweat building a turnover package; we've got you. At the click of a button, all those project documents are compiled and compressed into an impressively hyperlinked package (mobile, web, desktop, and local file access) that your clients will adore you for. The warranty phase of post-construction is a black hole for wallets. With warranty management through Buildr, you'll get a bird's-eye-view of your business: equipment failure patterns, specialty contractor success and response time, priority levels, and much more. All communication is funneled through our platform between relevant parties so that nothing will ever fall through the cracks again. Owners can finally take control of their projects, minus the noise. Submit issue claims with photo attachments and keep tabs on resolution statuses in real-time. Turnover packages consisting of stacks of 3-ring binders are a thing of the past—all your project data is finally available at your fingertips so you can maintain your facility, now and forever. With streamlined closeout, warranty management, and facilities maintenance all under one roof, Buildr can help you take control of your business so you can do what you do best: build.

"Buildr to the rescue!"

5/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

Using Buildr is a modern more user friendly version of tracking all of the information to closeout a project in excel. As functional as excel is we as engineer minded folks over use it and can complicate the easiest of tasks. I love that Buildr sends notifications to take the hassle out of me tracking all of those emails I send in a separate sheet or notebook. Requirements and warranty issues are trackable for our entire company so everyone knows where items are in the process and who has the ball. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

Buildr is always changing and updating when I have an issue so I don't know what I would say I dislike because when there is something I think should be improved on I bubble it up and typically it gets incorporated. Currently I would say the lack of a moble app for GC's and Subcontractors is the downfall. I would like to be able to report warranty issues from an App or review status of project requirement % complete. Recently many of our clients cant access the website to download the zip file or login to create a client account to see the closeout documents for review so that needs to be addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buildr:

Try it out for free and you wont be disappointed it keeps everything very organized and in a clean easy process for those of us who are very busy (that's all of us). I know closeout is so important to our clients but sometimes project teams get pulled to other areas as needed and Buildr has helped us expedite the process for gathering and compiling documents needed to meet contract requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buildr solving and how is that benefiting you?

The one problem that Buildr has solved for us is tracking the status of Warranty items with our clients. Having all the warranty issues in one place for: clients, subs, and us as the GC to see the history of any issue has been a huge time saver and reduced communication issues both internally and externally.

"Buildr is a project coordinator's best friend"

5/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

Buildr has saved me so much time and made the closeout process so much less painful. The integration with Procore is really efficient and uploading documents (either by myself or by the subcontractors) is quick and easy. The final package is well organized and really easy to navigate via the hyperlinked Table of Contents. Also, Buildr is constantly improving their product and listening to what their customers want to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

The notification emails from Builder look a little "spammy" so a lot of subs are reluctant to use the upload link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buildr:

Give it a try. You'll be glad you did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buildr solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have saved so much time versus the old way of sending individual emails, collecting paper documents and creating binders. I think the packages that Buildr creates are easier to navigate than a physical binder. It's also saving us money in terms of paper, supplies and postage for sending large binders to our clients.

"It was easy and organized"

5/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

Close out used to be cumbersome. Buildr lets you have an organized avenue to request, collect, and deliver a clean package. It allows you to have transparency with your team on the status of close out. Its also an easy transfer to the client Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

I think you should be able to transfer the directory from procore. I also thing the cover sheet and delivery package should be customizable.

Also, would like the ability to condense a certain close out requirements into a file.

I.E. - We had over 1 thousand concrete lab testing reports) The lab submitted them on builder. They all showed up on the cover page. It would be cool to be able to combine those into a single file without taking them off buildr and resubmitting.

I think Buildr should create different templates for things other than close out (i.e. RFP Submissions, Requesting other documents). You can customize the way you want it collected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super helpful with simplifying the close out process."

4/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

The weekly reminder feature for subcontractors is amazing. I love that it is automatic. It has helped me get close out documents much faster than I normally would be able to. I also like how everything is organized once a project is exported. It's really clean and organized how it's all broken up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

I think my least favorite feature is the Warranty part. It doesn't seem like subs or owners are eager to use it as a tool of communication for scheduling warranty issues. They prefer to call or email directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buildr:

Takes the grunge work out of close out documentation! It hasn't been the most helpful with Warranty claims, but I think that it more of a reflection on subcontractors and owners unwillingness to go through a platform as opposed to directly contacting us through email. It's a work in progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buildr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Like I mentioned earlier, the biggest problem this has solved me for is the ability to keep track of subcontractors better. When I used to do close outs docs manually it would take closer to 2 or 3 months to collect all the information I needed. Buildr has helped me simplify that process by taking out the reminder work for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Close out packages made easy!"

5/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

Buildr has significantly cut my time spent on close outs allowing me to spend more time on other responsibilities for the many hats I wear with my company. I appreciate the thought and detail put into this program and the ease of use for clients and vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

I wish there were more color variation within the pages so "buttons" are more easily seen/distinguishable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you're looking for a way to easy the pain of creating close out packages, Buildr is what you're looking for! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buildr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sending a request used to be cumbersome - this has streamlined that process and is a very simple process for vendors to upload their documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes Closeout Super Easy"

5/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

The interface is very user friendly and easy to learn. It keep everything organized for us and our subcontractors. No more missing items from our subcontractors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

There isn't something that I dislike but if I had to pick something I wish there was an activity log for each specific item. Keeping updates on each specific item would be a great way to track when these items will be submitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buildr:

If you are looking to simplify your closeout process this is definitely something you should consider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buildr solving and how is that benefiting you?

An issue that I had was keeping track of which subcontractor submitted what via email. Using buildr helped organize everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Closeout Program"

5/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

The fact that it's integrated with Procore is a real plus. We use this program everyday and it's literally checking boxes of what data to sync! I love that the program is easy to use for both creators and the end users.

The QRCode is great too to send to end users who can pull it up on their mobile devices.

And I love how consistent the product is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

Would like to have some customization within the program for the Logo on the cover page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buildr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saving time and having a consistent, professional looking product at the end. Our old process was clunky, not consistent from user to user and created a huge document that was unwieldy.

I love having the dashboard to see which subs have submitted docs or not. no more digging through emails, project folders etc.

I know this product will be a HUGE benefit for our larger projects, once we get them on board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organized Warranty - Streamlined O&M"

5/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

I personally use Buildr most for the O&M functionality - It has automated our collection process, eliminating many busy work hours from my team, allowing us to focus more carefully on final project execution. The assembly of the O&M is a single click, which eliminated a position for us - so long as our clients are ok with the electronic O&M only.

I do not use warranty frequently, but I appreciate it being a single landing point to list issues, and for my teammates and I to note progress on getting them closed out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

It was different for us to structure the O&M by category, rather by trade, but we believe the end using is just fine using it this way. We can't wait for app updated to happen, we like the availability of the app, but Buildr is still easier for us to use online.

I also dislike that I didn't use this 3 years ago! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buildr:

Implementation is quick - you could be up and running next day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buildr solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are taking hours of time off our people, with the electronic O&M process offered by Buildr.

We are also eliminating off line spread sheets and manila folders laying around with warranty to do items listed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Methodical, User Friendly and Exquisite Turnover Package and Warranty Management"

5/5

What do you like best about Buildr?

Buildr streamlined and standardized our closeout procedures. It has made it easier to manage any and all warranty requests across all completed projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

I dislike that I didn't have Buildr when I was doing closeouts, it would have saved countless hours and headaches! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buildr:

Close out packages are never fun. They are tedious, time consuming, and difficult to compile in a way that is easily accessible for owner, clients, and maintenance staff. Buildr creates a close out package that is much easier for users to find the document that they need, within a few clicks the user will be able to pull up an O&M, As-Built, Warranty Document, etc.. No more printing hundreds or thousands of pages, no more heavy 4" binders being passed around, no more excel spreadsheets to track what documents you've received or missing, no more negative connotation when you hear the word 'close out package'. Buildr is the leader of changing the way our industry does close outs. Your project teams and owner/clients will thank you for adopting their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buildr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Buildr is saving project teams hundreds of hours by organizing the documents to create a professional turnover package. The turnover package is very aesthetically appealing, but more importantly, very user-friendly for the owner, clients, and maintenance personnel.

Buildr is also assisting in standardizing how our company completes and submits close out packages. Their user-friendly interface allows project teams to quickly learn how setup, request, and generate a finalized close out package.

Warranty requests are easily managed in Buildr. Project teams are able to assign and track the progress of a warranty request within Buildr. It reduces the possibility of requests getting lost in emails or forgotten about as project teams have already moved on to other projects. Project teams are able to quickly check the status or update of a warranty request and also receive weekly digest emails to gently remind them of open items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
