    NEWSTAR and its ecosystem are well-suited for any
    homebuilder looking to manage end-to-end operations with software they can rely
    on. It is a powerful tool supported by many modern integrations to benefit the
    entire homebuilding business. It would be less applicable for businesses like trades or commercial builders

    It was a great fit while we were a smaller company with simple tasks and jobs. As we grew we realized we needed more from our CRM.

    Pros
    Constellation HomeBuilder Systems
    • BuildTopia excels at contract management. Every part of the contract process is able to be managed electronically from initial signing to closing, and can even handle more special cases like contingencies.
    • BuildTopia manages all of our construction efforts well. All of our floorplans are pre-build in the system, so all we have to do is go in an build out the construction schedule from a pre-made template, and make any alterations from there.
    • The selections process is always a headache, but BuildTopia makes it pretty painless. Everything is loaded right in to the system while making selections with the client, and more detailed things, like non-standard options, are easy to load in and process.

    Cons
    Constellation HomeBuilder Systems
    • Requests for platform enhancements, while easy to submit and get approved, are slow to be turned around...often a year or more passes before they're implemented.
    • BuiltTopia, while good for sales and construction, is missing one large thing...a CRM component. The system allows you to manage clients and prospects, but options for email marketing and other CRM-related efforts are lacking.

    • We couldn't adjust what certain things were called (ie what we called "work order" internally were called "job estimates" on JobNimbus)
    • The price went up from when we first started using
    • It lacked in project management options as our company grew in size
    • It wasn't simple to lower the user count; the subscription needed to be changed.

    We enjoyed JobNimbus while we were a smaller company and our projects didn't have many needs. We've moved on to a larger CRM that can assist and support our team fully.

    The implementations for Constellation’s products are
    very well-organized and help make the learning curve as simple as can be.
    NEWSTAR is an incredibly powerful platform and the integrations we are using
    are modern and easy to adopt.

    We had two people, myself included, learn everything we could during the setup of our initial interface setup. We became the "masters" of the software so other employees had someone to go to internally with any issues or questions.

    We spent 2.5 years with JobNimbus until we got too big for the app. Though it is very customizable, our growing company needed more and decided to move to monday.com.

    Return on Investment
    Constellation HomeBuilder Systems
    • Overall, our company has saved money by being able to shut down all the various platforms we were using for different departments and transition to just BuildTopia.
    • Company efforts are more efficient, with all pertinent information being in one place and able to be viewed by everyone as needed.
    • Efforts of the sales team are better able to be managed and reviewed from afar whereas we only had physical paper trails before.
