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 from Real Users Pros The pros for Premier are instant invoice matching, faster workflow, real-time project insights, and better budget oversight. Premier keeps all project and accounting info in one place—easy to track progress and manage billing. Pros for Premier is real-time data, powerful dashboards, and live Excel integration streamline every project. Modern, flexible platform that adapts to unique workflows—unlike rigid, outdated alternatives I checked out. AI tools & automation save us time, and Premier’s support team is always super responsive and helpful. Premier has brought all our project and financial data into one place, making it easier to manage jobs, track costs, and streamline approvals. It’s helped reduce errors, improve accuracy, and give us real-time insights that benefit the whole company. Real-time data accessible to all employees, reliable information, and a simpler way to handle routine tasks Many benefits, but to highlight a few: easy access to project financials, flexible reporting options, and improved communication between accounting and operations. All-in-one system (project management, change management, accounting) and real-time access for project managers. The biggest pro for Premier is Financial Reporting and Project Management in one system. They also continuously update their software.
