Great product at a great value
It is being used by the entire company for job cost analysis, coding, time keeping, sharing images and specs with clients and sub contractors, document storage and management. Giving the homeowners the ability to see their entire home building process from the ground up with progress pictures, cost information, selections and overages, etc.
- time recording
- document management and storage
- grouping selections by room to make it easier for the homeowner to see and select their final finishes
- Ability to sort job costs by project and task
- The interface is friendly but it would be helpful if the initial implementation was easier
- Adding pictures and plans can be a bit tedious depending on the amount of documents you are uploading at once
- At times, the time clock feature would take too long to process an action, resulting in inaccurate time reporting

CoConstruct is a solid option for mid to small size commercial construction projects in the residential market.
CoConstruct is used for estimating, budgeting & scheduling within my organization. We use it as a one stop software on smaller more unique projects in the residential and remodeling space. We also use the software to document changes, inspections and photos that come from some of these smaller more unique projects.
- Estimating
- Budgeting
- Scheduling
- Larger Projects
- Team Collaboration
- Subcontractor Engagement

Be ware of the trial offer!!!
I would advise everyone looking to use CoConstruct to look carefully at their T&C's and especially their offers. I got caught out and signed up to the $49 on The RAMP Plan which I found out was a 3 card trick! They hide the term you need to complete a curtain task to quality and continue testing/using the software after the first few weeks. After explaining to the representative that I am extremely busy and hadn't had the chance to properly look and test the software which is why I need a couple of months trial to do this, he then blamed me for not reading the SMALL PRINT and refused to refund the £199 fee they charged. I'm glad I found out about this company's poor ethics before committing any time or money to using their software. I would now never use any software from CoConstruct because of their sales tactics and bad attitude!
As a design-build firm, we work on a range of home remodeling projects. There are a lot of things involved in every project, and this is where CoConstruct comes in. We use it to make and manage estimates, selections, bids, budgets, and communication with our clients.
Prior to using construction management systems, we had to depend on multiple tools to help us do the work. We had to wrap our heads around loads of spreadsheets and documents, as well as complicated apps just to keep track of projects, communicate with clients and control the finances.
- The integration of all aspects needed to run a remodeling company efficiently: project scheduling and management, financial planning and customer service. Since it’s an all-in-one suite and cloud-based, it enables our team to keep track of all our projects in real-time. Communication breakdown is the last thing we want, so being on the same page is not only desirable but makes for the best possible relationship with our clients.
- Product education - We like how CoConstruct helps new users and get them to start using the tool right away. The dashboard resource materials are incredibly useful. We don’t have to spend a lot of time training new hires on the system and onboarding new clients.
- Some mobile functions are limited like adding/editing as well as selection of reports.

Great Product for Custom Home Builders/Remodelers
As a General Contractor, our business uses CoConstruct as a Project Management solution across the entirety of the organization. The platform performs in two major areas of the business: (1) documentation/risk management, and (2) communication. This is all accomplished using a few key features of the platform: (1) Daily Job Logs, (2) Client Selections, (3) Scheduling, (4) Job Photos, and (5) Warranty/Issue Tracking.
- The user interface is simple and easy to use.
- The built-in scheduling tool is simple to use, but complex enough to do the job.
- Customer support is always very responsive
- The software doesn't forget about the customer experience.
- It integrates well with accounting packages such as (Xero and Quickbooks), but it doesn't have an open source platform if you use other softwares.
- There isn't a lot of customization to the software.
- The reporting functionality is weak.

Well worth the investment, but not a catch-all solution
CoConstruct is being used by our Design, Estimating, and Production teams. We use to build preliminary budgets and consult with clients in the design phase and then for project management and client communication during production.
- Client Communication - CoConstruct allows our entire team to communicate with clients in topic-specific areas. The ability to see everyone's communication in one place is beneficial.
- Estimating - CoConstruct's cost catalog and templates allow us to estimate quickly. They have streamlined our process to the point that team members aren't always dependent on the estimator to make pricing updates.
- Scheduling - The ability to communicate with subs directly from the tasks they've been assigned to in CoConstruct's schedule makes our Project Coordinator's job much more efficient.
- Internal Communication - CoConstruct lacks the ability to tag-team members for internal communication using @mentions or any other means. This has been crippling for us and forced us to use alternative software for communicating among our team members.
- Pipeline Management - CoConstruct's lead-tracking system feels clunky and hard to navigate and doesn't provide a pipeline view that's easy to navigate. We have moved our Pipeline Management outside of CoConstruct to make it easier for our sales team to track leads.
- CRM - CoConstruct doesn't offer anything for customer follow-up after projects are completed. This, in addition to the lack of an effective pipeline system, has led to our decision to use HubSpot as our CRM. Moving projects into CoConstruct for Design and back our after Production.

Co-Construct - project management software for market leaders
CoConstruct is used across our business - as an element of our estimation process, and client relationship management process. It is our project management program and is integrated into our financial management suite. While it does not function across all aspects of the business, it is designed to support it - what it does well is support project management through interaction with the client on a level that can be controlled entirely.
- Client Interaction - the ability to capture all interactions with the client on a job basis is invaluable. All discussions, decisions, and selections are captured within the project management suite.
- Specification and selections - the development of the building specification and the selection of items have always been difficult; however, with Co-Construct, the specification is developed as you go, and selections are made easy for both me as a builder and the client. The process is interactive and can be completed entirely online if required.
- Scheduling - the scheduling tool and project management plan associated with it is first class, easy to use, and always keeping you on track. Once the data is entered, it will keep you on track - if things change, it is easy to adjust and develop a plan to get you back on target.
- Estimating is still done on third party software and pulled into the program. If you do manual takeoffs and work on a spreadsheet, this is relatively simple to do - and you could probably enter it straight into Co-Construct. However, if you use automatic takeoffs for accuracy and speed, you will end up doing a bit of double handling as you re-enter the output into Co-Construct. Ideally, you would be able to do the takeoffs within the program, entering the data only once.

CoConstruct. It is really good!
CoConstruct is the Nerve center of our design and build operation. We use it in both our Design and building departments to manage selections, specifications, project schedules, budgets, and client communications. It keeps all of our staff and clients communicating openly and frequently and all pertinent information available for everyone to access as needed.
- Manage specifications and selections
- Track budgets and actual job costs
- Integrate with outside accounting software
- Make communication easy and quick with the Mobile app.
- The scheduling tool is very functional, but it could be improved and easier to use.
- File storage is a bit clunky.

CoConstruct is a game changer for Design Build businesses or contractors trying to manage multiple jobs
We use CoConstuct company-wide. We use it for project management, estimating, and sales. It is an excellent tool for customer communication and keeping our team on the same page. Customer access allows the opportunity to use CoConstruct as a sales close tool. It also has a time clock function that allowed us to consolidate software to a single point of use.
- Project Management
- Estimating and Proposals
- Communicating with clients
- Invoicing and Quickbooks integration
- Time clock functionality and job costing
- Quickbooks integration
- Time clock editing functionality
- Estimating and proposals could use a little polishing

- Change orders

- Employee communication
- Authorizing selections
- I can't think of any

Great at what they do, but lacking for an all in one software
- We use CoConstruct for all of our project management from start to finish (sales, design, selections, production & project closeout).
- We started using the software for the time clock and general schedule management, and without using any of the other features, the cost of the software paid for itself with that alone. Now that we have integrated more of its features into our company, I am not sure how we would ever run the volume of business that we do without it.
- The software has put us far ahead of our composition in the residential remodeling industry.
- As with most things, the software is not perfect, but CoConstruct is continuously improving, and you can tell that the staff truly desires to help all of their users.
- Time clock does a great job of keeping all of the details straight for quick reference.
- The schedule keeps everyone notified and up to date (team and trade partners).
- The selection process is easy for customers to interact with.
- The selection process is easy for customers to interact with.
- Improved notifications so that if others are responsible for a project, but you need to communicate with someone, the response will show up for the person who started the conversation.
- Material lists for field staff (the project log falls short on this)
- Schedule. There needs to be the ability to schedule things in order of importance (first stop, second stop, or half-day increments). This would allow for a better flow of work on all projects.
- * Ability to see the order of communication at a glance. As the communication gets buried in the specs and selections, there is no way to tell the full project flow of communication or search for communication by day or person.
- ** Ability to see that someone opened or viewed something that needs to be approved.
- We can only see that it was sent or that it was approved. With out a call or a message there is no way to know if they viewed it
- CHECKLISTS - Why can we not make a checklist and have it plugged into the schedule or task assignments. This would help ensure that workflow happens smoothly and would cut down on repeat entries if we could make the same form to be used on all similar jobs.
- The ability to show customers Archived projects from the customer view
- Improved customer support videos to help them get the best out of the software the infobox is excellent, but the customers often don't look at it.
- *** Schedule tasks should be able to be linked to a selection item for use so that at one click you will jump to the section that it references.
- When using multiple windows on the web browser, there is no way to see the filter and search. This would be simple if we could see what was searched for in each window.
- Text formatting
CoConstruct is used as a company-wide communication tool as well as subcontractor and client communications. It takes the 'he said she said' out of communication equations as everyone is always fully aware of precisely what was decided and when. The selections and specifications are spelled out for us as the builder, the client, and the subcontractor so that expectations are met from all parties.
- Communication Tools
- Ease of Use
- Scheduling
- Job site photos
- File Sharing
- None - all suggestions our company has made have been implemented
- Community Forum - was not part of initial program but is now available
We use CoConstruct as the hub within our organization. We manage leads, generate contracts and proposals, do estimating, client contact, selections, scheduling, and warranty tracking all within CoConstruct.
- Estimating.
- Selections.
- Scheduling.
- Communication.
- Lead tracking reports.
- Ability to comment, respond, and create a dialogue around Job Logs.

CoConstruct the Future
CoConstruct is used by construction companies, home-builders, re-modelers, etc. as a project, financial and client management system. The program allows each user to enter a single item in the estimating system, which is then carried directly through the estimate, specifications, selections, bids, change orders, budgets, etc. without having to reenter the input. Furthermore, the system has financial, scheduling and communication capabilities.
- The BEST customer service.
- Master for communication and organization, i.e. schedules, timelines, pictures, plans, you name it.
- Assists with transparency for the owner, it's easy to understand as well.
- The mobile app could use some further development.
- Flexible software, therefore it requires time to set up the project how you desire.
- The integration with Quickbooks is limited.
