Considered Both Products	Contractor Foreman Jeff Reese Business Operations Manager Chose Contractor Foreman A few of them were too specialized, and we're trying to limit the amount of software we have data entry into. Buildertrend was probably the biggest competitor we reviewed, but the cost and migration effort didn't seem enticing to us as a business. I think Contractor Foreman has … Helpful? Selicio Alvarado Project Manager Chose Contractor Foreman It has the best features, is user-friendly, does everything I need it to and then some, and is affordable. Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Contractor Foreman CF is much friendlier to customization and much more robust. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Contractor Foreman I would say the biggest reason the company went with the items available on Contractor Foreman and the cost of the program for our group. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Contractor Foreman Contractor Foreman has it all, we don't need to use different systems other than our accounting software, Quickbooks Helpful? Bill Garrett President Chose Contractor Foreman Contractor Foreman felt like a better fit for our company. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Contractor Foreman We demoed at least 6 other software suites and not met that customizability and affordability of Contractor Foreman. Helpful? TS Timothy Stout Project Manager Chose Contractor Foreman While Procore is great for creating take offs and finding projects, Contractor Foreman just has more features. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Account Manager Chose Contractor Foreman Everything in Houzz Pro is designed to look beautiful for the client. It’s "high-end" and "boutique." If your business is 80% aesthetic consultation, it’s a winner. If your business is 80% hammers and nails, it feels a bit "fragile." The interface isn't as "slick" as Houzz, … Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose Contractor Foreman We switched from Houzz Pro which was a decent program, alot more user friendly but it always felt like there was a glitch or that nothing worked right. As if nothing was ever finished being put together. We have kept them for their 3d renderings and mood boards but don't use … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Contractor Foreman The communication within CF is not as reliable as I would like it to be. We communicate on teams internally to make sure all of the information is translated properly. Within CF, we rely on multiple positions to add details to a project. Attempting to compile everything within … Incentivized Helpful? Sommer Wood-Livesey Project Manager Chose Contractor Foreman They are very similar except CoConstruct allows for more selections of a customer. This is more for a company who doesn’t deal with interior designers as often who control the specs of the job. Most everything else was able to be done. I like the estimates sections and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Contractor Foreman We considered Houzz Pro but when we looked at all the features that Contractor Foreman offered along with its pricing we decided that Contractor Foreman was better value for money and a better fit for the business. Helpful? DF Daniel Frehner Estimator / PM Chose Contractor Foreman This program does great compared to the other programs we have used Incentivized Helpful? SM Simon Martinez Electrical engineer Chose Contractor Foreman We evaluated Procore before choosing Contractor Foreman. Procore is a strong platform but was too expensive for our type of projects and company size. Contractor Foreman offers most of the same essential features — such as project management, daily reports, and cost tracking — … Helpful? Verified User Partner Chose Contractor Foreman Contractor Foreman has better integration for commercial projects - Buildertrend focuses on residential construction. Contractor Foreman is relatively cost comparable with Buildertrend, but is better suited for the work we do. Incentivized Helpful? NI Nicole Ibarra Project Cordinator Chose Contractor Foreman We selected Contractor Foreman for its versatility and price. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Representative Chose Contractor Foreman More integration across the company which helps with system processes Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Project Manager Chose Contractor Foreman We started with ServiceTitan since it was our industry's standard. But it was far too complicated, and the implementation was not efficient. We gave it a solid try, but after many attempts to try and understand the system, we decided to find something different. Helpful? BS Bryce Selkirk managing director Chose Contractor Foreman its better Incentivized Helpful? Chris Peters Owner Chose Contractor Foreman Contractor Foreman is by far less of a major corporation selling a software and more of a personalized experience with people who truly care. Houzz Pro does have some great features, but the lack of the same service definitely hinders it in my option. Incentivized Helpful?

JC Jesse Chernioglo Business Development Admin Chose Contractor Foreman monday.com was limited and I noticed myself integrating other programs rather than just using monday.com I used Zoho at a sales company and it was fine for that.

User Testimonials
	Contractor Foreman
Likelihood to Recommend	Contractor Foreman Project, estimate, employee, and customer management are the best items in Contractor Foreman. It's nice to be able to assign leads out and use the same card to convert a customer through the entire process. I really like the kanban method of managing projects, and Contractor Foreman is well-suited to that. Jeff Reese Business Operations Manager Read full review
Pros	Contractor Foreman Their customer service is next to none. They always have someone available to help The interface i completely customizable so that there is not more information than necessary They way the cost items get tracked within a project that allows for every penny to be accounted for Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Contractor Foreman In the CDB, I'd like to be able to create a line item with a specified percentage, and when I pull that line item into an estimate or proposal, I'd like the system to automatically calculate it based on that contract value. (Example, Contingency line is always going to be 15% of the contract value). I'd like to be able to rearrange "blocks" on a page when I'm getting ready to send or print it. Lots of dead space on pages. Estimates 4 pages in total when it could be 2. I'd like to be able to create budget summaries. Where the line items are grouped into their respective master format categories, and the category has the sum of all the line items in that category. Selicio Alvarado Project Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Contractor Foreman We have compiled so much information on CF it would be counterproductive to move to another software. We have also sold a lot of clients on the client portal feature. It is crucial for our communication between customers. The only reason we wouldn't renew the service is if somewhere offered the exact same service but at a lower cost Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Contractor Foreman Overall, Contractor Foreman is a great product, and I’m sure we’ve only scratched the surface of everything it has to offer. It can be a little quirky at times, occasionally displaying a 'Bad Gateway' message, but we haven’t experienced any timeout issues in the past few months. As we continue to use it, I’m confident we’ll uncover even more ways to streamline our workflow Incentivized Samantha Force Head of Operations Read full review
Reliability and Availability	Contractor Foreman Availability was good, FUNCTIONAL availability was more spotty Incentivized Jeffrey Eckes CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
Performance	Contractor Foreman Many times we had issues that turned out to be errors and bugs. At first, we would be told forcefully that there were no bugs, then we would document them, and we would get an acknowledgement but no apology for essentially either gaslighting us or being ignorant of their system Incentivized Jeffrey Eckes CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
Support Rating	Contractor Foreman Absolutely top notch! They were always there to help and immediately. Very happy with the communication they provided and the knowledge they had of their product. I would venture to say that they are one of the best in terms of support in their space. Incentivized Chris Peters Owner Read full review
Implementation Rating	Contractor Foreman The team that does your implementation is amazing. They're skillful, kind, they will take as much time as you need, and they have a sense of urgency Incentivized NI Nicole Ibarra Project Cordinator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Contractor Foreman Contractor Foreman’s pricing is much more cost-effective for small to mid-sized construction businesses, making it a better fit for my company’s budget. It offers an intuitive interface with pre-built construction templates, minimizing setup time and making it easier at least for my team to adopt and start using. The platform’s focus on project tracking, financial management, and nice integrations that makes it highly efficient for tracking project progress, staying on budget, and managing subcontractors/bills. These factors combined made it the ideal choice for meeting my company's specific needs efficiently and cost-effectively. Incentivized DH Danielle Hanenberg Project Coordinator Read full review
Scalability	Contractor Foreman We had just 2 users Incentivized Jeffrey Eckes CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
Return on Investment	Contractor Foreman Positive return for invoice/change order tracking Great price Prior to using Contractor Foreman we had to wait until the end to capture all change orders in one summary. Now, with the client portal, we can capture in real time and the client has visibility. We have been trying to reduce administration time in tracking field expenses and with Contractor Foreman our field crew can uplaod reciepts and track expenses right from their mobile phones. Punchlist - the punch list and To Do features are so robust we have drastically improved getting punchlists and small tasks completed in single trips without the wasted time and travel of multiple trips due to missed/forgotten items.
