UDA ConstructionOnline Reviews & Product Details

What I like most is that this software offers most of the basic functions we were using on the Procore program, at a MUCH better price point. We are a small commercial GC and needed something that fit our needs without the pricetag that smaller companies, just can't always justify. The system is has been fairly easy to learn and I especially like the dashboard design. We also love that customer service is so easily accessible and friendly. I have very much appreciated the calls to just check in with us and see how we are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can't download drawings for offline use. This limits our superintendents in the field using the app for drawing viewing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ConstructionOnline is a great tool because it integrates well with many other software applications and makes it convenient to find everything in one place, from estimating and billing to scheduling and communication. On top of that, having support from the tech staff just a phone call away makes it fast and easy to sort out any issues that come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Coming from ConstructionSuite, I found there was a major learning curve with how ConstructionOnline is set up. With time and effort, we’ve been able to figure it out, but at the beginning there was a lot of downtime while we learned the system and adjusted our workflow. On top of that, some functions and services that were previously included are now paid subscriptions or add-ons, which has added significant extra cost to our bottom line.

We have found the scheduling to be extremely simple to develop and the filter options make daily planning easy. The integration with quick books ensures we are working to keep projects on track and can then refine our estimating to become more accurate with each project.

Like many programs, there are plenty of features we don’t use within our company. That can make navigation feel a bit cluttered at times, but we can “favourite” the tools we use regularly, so it really isn’t an issue. Overall, I haven’t found anything I dislike about the program.

What stands out the most about UDA Construction Online is how much it tries to keep the entire construction workflow in one system instead of making contractor's bounce between separate apps for estimating, scheduling, budgeting, communication, and field reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While UDA ConstructionOnline has useful project management features, I find the interface can be cumbersome and not always intuitive. Certain tasks require multiple steps to complete, which can slow down workflow. Reporting and document management could be more streamlined, and the mobile experience is not always as efficient as the desktop version. Better integration with accounting software and more customizable dashboards would also improve the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That we can save files of specs & selections on a shared interface which is accessible via phone app. The Redline Take off tool is very easy and quick to use too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new interface is less intuitive than the older version and hard to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps us keep the office and the field connected while tracking progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software has become more expensive over the years we’ve been using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keeping our superintendent informed while in the field and being able to reference past meeting notes live when having discussions with clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's buggy - when I upload large files or folders, it crashes Chrome entirely. Safari does not run the site as well either, so uploading plan sets, spec folders, and larger photos albums is very time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and the fact that if I want to get to a certain section, it's only a few clicks to get to the specific section. The fact that there is a customer service chat option immediately available, as well as the ConstructionOnline staff being incredibly responsive to emails is great also.

The time it takes to upload and recognize page numbers and labels etc. Also if a plan set has multiple pages with the page numbers in different locations, it doesn't always recognize part of the set and then you have to select each page one by one that you want to check again.

I would probably have to say accessibility is great because I have it on my work computer, iPads, and cell phone. No matter where I'm at, I can access the job site, so I always have the answers I need within reach. It's extremely beneficial because when I'm bouncing from job site to job site and getting calls from contractors, I can pull up answers quickly, ensuring that the job doesn't slow down. This access speeds up the work as I can immediately provide answers to the contractors, which is crucial for being successful with home building and remodeling.

The biggest issue I have with UDA ConstructionOnline is the constant need to refresh in order to see updates. If you don't manually refresh, you won't see any changes that another user might have made. I've used other software like QuickBooks and Salesforce that provide live updating without needing to hit refresh. In UDA, if I'm logging activities and a coworker makes a change, I won't see it unless I refresh. It's frustrating because after refreshing, I can then see the updates, like new pictures being added. Live constant updating is something UDA really needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent customer service. Developers seem committed to making improvements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it’s completely clear where to find features. For example working within the opportunities, it’s not obvious how to draft an estimate for that opportunity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
