Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use Reliability Price of subscription Ability to use anywhere anytime - web based Excellent support
  • Multiple options for custom forms to suit my business needs. Access anywhere with an internet connection. Ability to create progress reports to track everything about the jobs being entered.
  • The program is web-based and in real time. I do not have to wait for a "cycle" over night. The layout of the system in scheduling the jobs makes it easy to set up a job. Gantt charts/scheduling of task can be from a template or one of your own templates per employee or sub-contractor. Due to our client base, it really has turned into our data base for return clients Support from the BuildIT Systems crew.
  • Scheduling and setting up templates to suit your needs, communication within the company and trades, easy to customize layout, no real problems that were not handled by the developers immediately.
  • I especially like how everything is organized by Job and Folder. So no matter who received the email or uploaded the file, it is really easy to find. I like being able to see everyone's emails in one click. The search function is fast and thorough. Build IT really keeps everyone in our company on the same page, and has been critical in keeping us efficient. The customer service is great, too!

Cons

  • Nothing. We used BuildIT for 7 years and can honestly say that there are no cons for us.
  • No comments to make.
  • No dislikes at this time, The only Con, and it is not the fault of the program.... If the internet is on the blink, or poor service, it is difficult to continue doing business with paper and pen.
  • Have had problems on different browser platforms, ability to categorize files.
  • There is no "Download All Attachments" option. Every now and then someone will send me 10 attachments, and I have to download each individually.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • i like the fact you can upload your building plans directly & scale them , measure walls or floors right on your screen to get quick, accurate material counts & then turn a won estimate into a live project calendar & build Gantt charts, generate purchase orders & work orders for your subcontractors
  • Integrates well with other programs. The Support is very good, I get answers within minutes. Well-rounded program, suits me well as a small builder.
  • I can track my jobs in live time, labor hours through the buildxact onsite app are easily tracked to labor costings
  • Extremely time saving, easy to use, basic but detailed enough for building. Great for sending off quotes to clients. Great for ordering with suppliers and for work orders for sub-contractors.
  • Buildxact is user friendly, does everything from quoting, job management, ordering, accounting to timesheets.
