Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The speed in which you can enter assemblies in take off. Direct vendor database pricing updates. The extreme ability to customize the software to create speed and accuracy attuned to your companies specific needs.
  • Program is easy to use and has options to dial in your bids. This program has helped our commercial side grow 100% over the last 3 years. Now to get our residential side on board.
  • The assemblies and ability to modify them is great, its turn key out of the box and you can start bidding and winning jobs immediately. You can adjust and modify everything to fit your needs and fine tune your numbers on each project and see the effects of each adjustment in real time.
  • Take off fairly quickly. Relatively accurate for run of the mill items. Has the ability to have a lot of features that may be helpful to some.
  • Its accuracy. Ease of use but that may be because i have used for over 20 years. Still wish it was easier to navigate.

Cons

  • If you want to go deep, the complexity of the software can be daunting and hard to wrap your head around how everything maps. This caused me to use the software at a surface level for many years.
  • New ways of estimating can be hard for some. Growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. There is a lot of information and can look overwhelming. It isn't that bad.
  • Some of the assemblies are outdated and the material database could use some updating for more modern parts. Modifying assemblies can be a bit intimidating.
  • I don't like that Sure Count doesn't seem to be accurate or complete. I cannot get it to accurately count everything automatically, we have to do it manually. They have advanced features, that they have now taken away (such as smart substitution), that used to be in the basic level program, and moved them to the higher priced program bundled with too many features a small business doesn't need. Read: they are not in-tune with their customer base. They don't have cloud back up unless you are on a different program. This is a feature that is now becoming standard in this day and age amongst all software of this cost and magnitude. The worst part of all of this is the terrible customer service when you call to get help with something. They have an attitude about you, and the customer is always wrong. And when you try to call/email a salesperson/manager to try to warn them about their service department's attitude, you don't get through and they don't call you back.
  • Cloud base is hard to get documents out to main computer Hasn't changed in 20 years.

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).
