About

Bolster overhauls the complete end-to-end project management process for residential construction businesses and contractors. With automated costing based on supplier pricing data, use the patented estimating software to transform what used to be static quotes into fully interactive point of sale experiences for homeowners in minutes, winning more jobs and saving hours of time every day. Once projects are booked through the pipeline CRM, automated scheduling communicates clear project and task timelines to contractor, subcontractors, and homeowners. On project or milestone completion, homeowners can make payments online, and you can manage their business finances with Bolster's Business Accounts and Cards. Save more time, win more jobs, and get paid faster with Bolster.

About

TrakPro is a construction payment management platform for main contractors and commercial teams in the UK and Ireland. Subcontractors submit applications for payment (payment claims) against the agreed bill of quantities. Quantity surveyors assess line by line, issue recommendations, and certify through configurable approval chains. TrakPro generates payment certificates and pay less notices, tracks retention and release, and manages variations, dayworks and materials on site, with a full audit trail. Both sides of the payment work in the same system, giving main contractors real-time visibility of committed cost and certified value across every project. Notices and terminology are jurisdiction-correct for UK projects under the Construction Act and Irish projects under the Construction Contracts Act, and CIS is handled on UK payments. Integrates with construction ERPs including COINS, Sage Intacct and 4PS.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Could have been a great addition to our process but the team at Bolster never followed through to complete the setup
  • Fast turnaround times on quotes. We can send someone to do measurements and then get the proposal to customer on same day.
  • Because of the professional Bolster proposals, I landed more jobs. The AutoCost library, loaded with items from my local hardware stores, kept my estimating templates accurate. The support team went above and beyond to configure my account with top-notch construction items and assemblies.
  • It’s efficient, accurate, and straightforward to use. Also, I was able to boost business opportunities. Last but not least, the way my estimates are presented now gives my business a polished look. My clients often remark on how organized and transparent my quotes are.
  • Bridge the gap between what clients want and reality. With this software, you can actually educate them effortlessly.

Cons

  • They took my annual fee and never completed the setup. After the rep I was dealing with left they abandoned the project and refused to provide a refund
  • Still waiting for a few features like credit cards
  • Even though our competitors have started using it, we can see that Bolster is delivering real value. This friendly rivalry encourages us to explore even more ways to get the most out of the software.
  • There's a brief learning curve when first transitioning to CostCertified, but once you get the hang of it, the benefits far outweigh those initial hours of familiarization.
  • CostCertified, while very powerful, might require a little extra time for onboarding and mastering its features. Consider it an investment for optimal usage, as once familiar, its capabilities can significantly boost efficiency and accuracy in your construction estimating and project management.
