Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Handles pretty much all aspects of managing construction jobs - crew time clock, schedules, customer interface, estimates, sub-contractor mgmt, etc. etc. etc. Many features we don't even use. They are constantly improving the product, and the customer support is excellent.
  • 1. User-friendly interface: Buildertrend has a simple and easy-to-use interface, making it accessible for anyone to use. 2. Cloud-based: Buildertrend is cloud-based, so it can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection. 3. Project management: Buildertrend allows you to manage your projects from start to finish, including scheduling, budgeting, and communication. 4. Customer portal: Buildertrend provides a customer portal, so your clients can view the progress of their project and communicate with you directly. 5. Integrations: Buildertrend integrates with other software, such as QuickBooks and Square Takeoffs, making it easier to manage your business.
  • This is the most intuitive CRM I've ever used I've used multiple CRMs In the last 15 years and this one surpassed all previous CRMs in the past love Buildertrend!
  • The idea that everything is all in one place from Lead to Estimate to Invoicing for the customer and Bids to POs to payments for the Subs.
  • The support team at Buildertrend is exceptional. Our dedicated support team for our system of forty franchise locations and growing is fantastic. They are always willing to work with us to problem solve and have timely responses every time. Buildertrend listens to client feedback and makes enhancements and updates to the system based on that feedback.

Cons

  • There are some inconsistencies between screens and there have been issues with some text entry screens not being sure data is saved before closing, although they are improving this.
  • 1. Buildertrend can be expensive for small businesses or contractors with limited budgets. 2. Learning curve: Although the interface is user-friendly, there is still a learning curve to understanding all the features and how to use them effectively. 3. Limited customization: While Buildertrend offers many features, it may not have all the customization options some businesses require. 4. Customer support: Some users have reported issues with customer support, including long wait times and difficulty getting issues resolved. 5. Limited mobile app: The mobile app for Buildertrend is limited in functionality compared to the desktop version.
  • Nothing at this time to complain about they have made this awesome compared to when I first used it.
  • The payment system for paying subcontractors. Printing the checks I would send to the subs did not work and banks would not honor them.
  • The lack of having an open API has been a downside to our working with Buildertrend. Being able to integrate with our CRM system would be a significant advantage to our franchise owners and also help to justify the cost of their Buildertrend subscription.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • When using Patabid, some of the best things about it include the fact that it combines estimating and tracking in one system. Its interface is not too difficult to navigate, and it makes the work of estimation, bidding, and other processes simpler and more efficient. This tool can be used by anyone who wants to simplify calculations, and store all information in one place. Another positive aspect of Patabid includes the fact that it is highly customizable. It is possible to configure it according to one’s needs, and thus make it even better. In addition, it promotes cooperation between teams due to the centralization of information.
  • Very easy to use, the support they offer is very quick and efficient, program is highly customizable, training courses are full of great info and guidance.
  • PataBid has completely streamlined our electrical estimating process. It's modern, intuitive, and incredibly efficient—saving us hours on takeoffs and bid prep. The software feels built specifically with electrical contractors in mind, offering smart features that actually make our jobs easier.
  • 3 years ago I was frustrated and stuck with my old paper system of estimating. I began looking into software to help me be faster and more organized. I looked a few options and settled on PataBid. It checked all the box's I thought I needed and extras that I didn't know I needed. Fast forward to today, and I use it for everything. We are winning projects and making money with it. The customer service is very quick with answers and help. They are constantly adding more and more components to the software and I would call it a robust program now. This software handles all of our estimating, from small residential renos to full commercial builds. I highly recommend PataBid to any electrical contractor that is looking for a good estimating software.
  • The AI-automated feature are huge time savers and do not sacrifice quality or accuracy in the estimate.

Cons

  • One drawback could be that some of the complex features might seem restrictive and less user-friendly to individuals who are used to very personalized settings or those who would like to integrate their CRM software with other enterprise applications. Moreover, the software’s reporting and performance capabilities could still use some improvements. For instance, the creation of certain reports might not be as fast as one would expect.
  • Program is only online, so if you have an unstable internet connection it can slow things down.
  • So far there are no negatives that we have seen, looking to see where they take the software.
  • I don't have a real con on this. It does what its suppose to and does it complete and well.
  • There are no negative issues with PataBid Quantify. It is a very reliable tool for my business's estimating needs.
