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

  • I love how all the pictures the team takes are automatically added to the job, and that I can quickly search and build a gallery of favorites. This really helps when I'm talking to customers.
  • I really liked the ease of adding leads and how fast it was to schedule my estimators. I'm able to get more done with my leads, know when I need to follow up and refer to any pictures or documents they've submitted to me. The crm is super simple and its built specifically for construction which I love. Projul even has project scheduling and worker deployment features which I've found myself relying on. Now I know where my estimators are and what my field workers are up to.
  • We're able to organize like never before using Projul. The CRM gives us the ability to upload photos directly to a lead, which carries to an estimator then to the service tech in the field doing the work. My field crew loves using Projul because it’s so simple and they always have pictures and know what they are getting into. Once a lead becomes a Project and even after it's completed we have notes of what our team said, access before and after pictures and easily see whether or not we have been back for our complimentary 1 time touch up service. When a job needs to be re-scheduled, it automatically updates the work order I've sent my crew and they get notified immediately. Projul ties a Construction based CRM and job / crew management together like no other software I've seen before.
  • It's incredibly easy to use and very well organized.
  • We found that scheduling tasks is a breeze, the only thing easier is rescheduling or reassigning those tasks! Also, Projul's customer support has been amazing. They are always available and very helpful.

Cons

  • I'd like to take groups of photos at the same it, instead of one at a time. The good news is my customer success rep said that this is coming in about a week.
  • It doesn't have in app estimating yet, but my account rep said that it will be coming within the month. That's my only downside. As soon as estimating is available i really wont have any cons for Projul to speak of.
  • I’m not sure it’s a con but it took me a week before I could get my entire team to use it.
  • I should have had Projul years ago... it's amazing.
  • The only thing we are struggling with is missing the ability to include photos and documents, but we've talked with support several times and it sound like that will be available very soon. Also we weren't in love with the the monthly scheduling interface but they updated it a few weeks again and it's amazing! (sorry that's not a Con).
