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 & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's a great app, it's user-friendly, nice design of the app, and the customer support is super responsive.
  • Ease of use and customization to fit your individual needs. Recommendations are always taken into consideration and if they cannot, they let you know why. Very friendly and easy to work with. We don't know what we would be doing without it.
  • i liked most of the features that CF provided , easy deal with it on daily basis, loved how it's enhanced every month.
  • Invoicing. Job/Expense Costing/Tracking. Track all job info in one place. Scheduling. Vehicle tracking. Creating To Do list. Time Cards.
  • All the basics and many of the extended features needed for construction management at a fantastic price.

Cons

  • They have tricky policies, you really have to pay attention and read them.
  • Can't think of anything I don't like about the program. There are so many features available and the ease of customization, I cannot say anything bad about the program.
  • The proposal template and limited feature of adding contact details.
  • Mobile App, it can be slow loading job information.
  • Reporting is lacking. Interface feels like early 2000's software.
