"Rave Build – The Backbone of Our Business!"

5/5

What do you like best about Rave Build?

We absolutely love Rave Build — and not just the software, but the incredible team behind it, definite shout out to Rebekah, Corey and Chris.

As a busy building company juggling multiple projects, teams, and deadlines, Rave has become our secret weapon. It’s intuitive, powerful, and tailored perfectly for the construction industry. From scheduling to client communication, it keeps everything humming along smoothly.

But what really sets Rave apart is the people. Their support crew is next-level — responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed. You don’t just get a product; you get a partnership.

Rave Build has helped us lift our game, streamline our workflows, and deliver better service to our clients. If you're in the building industry and not using Rave, you're missing out. Big time.

Getting started with Rave was incredibly easy. The setup was straightforward, with no complicated processes or steep learning curves — just a smart, well-designed system that made sense right from the start. We now use Rave every single day; it’s become an essential part of how we operate. The integration with our existing systems was seamless too, making the transition stress-free and saving us valuable time. Everything works together effortlessly, which means fewer headaches and more time to focus on what we do best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rave Build?

That it doesn't yet have Health & Safety built in, but we already know the team are working on this to become the one-stop-shop all construction company's needs with integrating Health & Safety components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Rave Build solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rave solved issues we didn’t even realise we had until we moved all our manual processes over. It’s freed up time for the boss, improved communication and expectations across the team, and created better transparency with clients. On top of that, Rave has centralised all our information, so no more chasing spreadsheets or emails. Automated workflows have reduced errors and missed steps, and real-time updates keep everyone aligned and projects on track. Scheduling is clearer, which means fewer delays and confusion. Clients love the visibility and updates, which builds trust and reduces stress. It’s also scalable, making it easier to manage more projects without adding admin overhead. Plus, the reporting and insights give us quick access to data for smarter decision-making. Integration with our other systems was seamless, saving time and headaches. Overall, Rave has transformed how we work — it’s not just a tool, it’s a game-changer for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
