Overall Satisfaction with Buildertrend
I work for the General Contractor as the Operations Manager. He has used Buildertrend in the past and liked it. Buildertrend is a complete management system and it's really quite essential to running a successful company. The larger the company I think the more sense this product makes - not that it isn't important for all sizes. But the cost is a little high when initially assessing the product - however, it is the top of the line in the industry and it does offer a superior service. Overall, I don't think you go wrong with Buildertrend and it's a must-have for construction companies.
Pros
- Manages in one place - crucial for organization.
- Professional, across the board it provides companies with a seamlessly organized and flawless presentation - to subs/vendors/owners/etc.
- Time Saver - you don't have to dig around through files/create templates/flip through your contact binder - it's all there.
- Practical tools- designed for contractors. You get what you need - period.
Cons
- A 30 - day money back guarantee isn't the same as a "free trial".
- Quickbooks and Buildertrend Joining teams would be next level.
- Huge ROI - the more organized and efficient our team is the more deals we can chase.
- Cuts out the estimating and cost mistakes which adds tremendous value.
- Small price to pay for the monthly fee when it comes down to it.
I have tried some competitors. Overall, there are some alternatives but personally, I feel that Quickbooks is the "Google" of management systems. The customer service is amazing and they offer a no-hassle product. The only wish would be that they had offered a true "free trial" initially. If I wasn't recommended the product I'll be honest, my chances of moving forward with Buildertrend start to diminish to some extend. These days it's getting harder just to "take a company's word for it". You can say all day you will help my company but until I see it for myself, it's a hard thing to move forward and feel good about. Even with the 30 day back guarantee - people don't know how difficult/how long the process will be to get your money back. It feels like an empty promise.
