    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

    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 had a lot of issues with the customer set up. With the way the integration worked, we had 3-4 owners on a job, when it should have just been one. We were paying a large amount on postage. We sent one GC 9 monthly notices, in one month.
    • I've been trying to get an understanding of what areas in Levelset we AREN'T using and it's been difficult to get an answer. I know we are missing projected revenue and that is a pretty big piece.

    Constellation HomeBuilder Systems
    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.

    All of the information is there at your fingertips. If I think it's odd that we are submitting a lien on a job, there is an information button that will tell me exactly why and 99.9% of the time, I was misunderstanding something and Levelset was right.

    Levelset is a Procore software, but we did consider it AFTER we got Levelset. We implemented Procore on our project side and chose to stay with Levelset. It's easy to set up, make changes, and understand.

    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.
