Buildern - Avis

Buildern is a great package, and they are open to suggestions, and are constantly upgrading and making improvements. Hmayak is so quick to answer questions, and has been a great help!

In the beginning it didn't fit all our needs, but with their upgrade it is now a lot more tailored to our needs

The software is highly customizable and systematized to create efficient and quick project setup. Also, the client portal is clean and easy to use. The estimating and takeoff function is unique and very quick and easy to run. The development team is very helpful and open to implementing any changes or suggestions we have.

It is a young company so I was concerned about it longevity in the industry. A few of the tools still need a little bit more development.

The standout feature for me is undoubtedly their estimation tool. With just a few clicks, I can transform project plans into comprehensive estimates, complete with material and labor costs. What truly sets it apart, though, is how it allows me to personalize these estimates to my clients' specifications with remarkable ease. As for managing my network of subcontractors and suppliers, Buildern centralizes the whole process. Issuing purchase orders is a breeze directly from the central dashboard. And the seamless integration with accounting systems like QuickBooks means financial tracking is no longer a chore but a simple, automated process.

I like how simple and effortless everything becomes with Buildern in my toolkit. It feels like every feature has been designed with user convenience in mind, turning what used to be intricate and time-consuming into straightforward, almost effortless tasks. The results are smoother project flow, clearer communication, and more time to ensure quality workflows.

If there's one aspect I'm eager to see evolve, it's the range of features within Buildern's mobile application. The current convenience it offers for on-site management is quite remarkable. However, having a more comprehensive set of Buildern's functionalities available on the mobile platform would greatly enhance the flexibility and freedom to manage projects on the move.

Very easy to use and pick up, the support team is top notch and handle everything in a super quick and efficient manner!

i have no complaints i love this software

Proactive in working with ideas we have in what we need our construction management to do for us.

No overall job dashboard yet...is coming

Estimating, scheduling, tracking budgets.

Still learning all of the functions so nothing at this stage.

Buildern incorporates everything to manage a project in to one piece of software. It is easy to use/navigate and is very intuitive. Being able to file all selections for a project is a huge bonus; like photos, spec sheets and weblinks; this makes it easy to share this information with a client.

Nothing to dislike with Buildern it is continually improving and I am looking forward to seeing new features as they are rolled out.

Wee've struggled to find an all-in-one Estimating & Project Management Software over the years to run our business on, but we've finally found it

We would love to have a Take-off tool for our Estimating, and we just found out that the Buildern Developers have this in production

Ease of use, features included and regular updates with new features.

Only a few minor things, which I am confident they will improve anyway.

I really like the scheduling module. I create schedule items very easily, I can change them whenever I want. I also use the Deppendency set function very often when planning, and it seems good to me. But my favorite feature is Bildern's reminders. Through them, I can send notifications to my teammates and subcontractors before starting work.
One of the sexiest options of Buildern is its customizability.
There are so many ways to manipulate and change data. A real dream for PM.
I am very satisfied with the quality of service too. They are constantly updating the system and sharing the expected news.
I learned that the mobile app will be available soon. And not only that, there will be other big thing - a function, when after signing the contract, the system copies into the project the data instead of you. That is, you do not need to fill up the info manually. I am really waiting for that.

One of the cons is the absence of the mobile app. Well, you know, you don't always have a computer on hand, but it happens that you have to take urgent action. The mobile app is extremely important

Honestly, for me, this software was a complete revelation. 8 months ago my uncle and I started our construction business, and on the advice of his friend we decided to try the Buildern's free package first, and after we switched to Starter Plan.
In general, we are satisfied. Of course, there are still things to be improved, but for now, we are totally OK with this thing. And look at the price! Man, it is a very fine deal compared to the other stuff in the market.

I would mention planning as the best function. The flexibility is a king here, and the interface is simple and clear. Yes, by the way, everything works very fast. I mean - enough fast, Plenty of planning options. If you, like us, just LOVE to plan and prefer to arrange everything carefully, this is for you. We use this function everywhere possible: construction process, job management, sales, invoicing. Runs perfectly!
Communication is also decently organized. We easily connect with the people we want, and the same is true for managing the tasks. As far as I get it, there are constant updates in this direction. Let's say - pretty good, but will be much better!

Sometimes things get complicated, mostly when it comes to formatting. For sure, I would like to have a much easier approach here. But as I mentioned, it feels like the devs are working on the product and they do follow the feedback. This is very nice news for the users. I hope they will read my review too.

The first thing I really like here is that you can manage existing projects and opportunities.
As soon as the contract is signed, all the info is automatically copied into the project and you don't need to fill up the data manually.
The second cool thing is that you can estimate budgets and actual job costs ․ This is a very important function. Whether there is a change in the material prices or some up and downs within the labor cost, you can see all that impact on the budget at once. Excellent!
And finally, the third big advantage - easy communication. This software is very well designed so that any client or contractor gets emails without logging in and responds to their requests.They like this feature very much. And, in general, the communication with the construction site is also conveniently organized. No special knowledge is needed to set it up.

The scheduling tool is very functional, but it could be improved.
