Overall Satisfaction with BuildingConnected
My company utilizes BuildingConnected for our bidding and budgeting processes. Our company functions such that all project manager personnel participate in the bidding and budgeting phase of work. The program allows us to communicate effectively not only externally, but also internally. It is the fundamental tool that we use for reaching out to subcontractors.
- Invite subcontractors to price a project.
- Share documents with subcontractors interested in pricing a project.
- Keep and track internal notes of conversations so that the project team can coordinate responsibilities of communication.
- Bid leveling capabilities so that we are comparing "apples to apples."
- Making sure subcontractors' information in the system is complete and accurate.
- Tracking the history of subcontractors responses to invitations company-wide.
- Once a package has been published, you cannot go back and un-publish it.
- Allows our company to accurately estimate the cost of a project.
- Helps us to reach out to qualified subcontractors based on past experience and history with our company.
- Contains bid leveling capabilities to ensure that all proposals cover a full scope of work.
BuildingConnected is user-friendly and easy to understand. One of the key successes for communication within the bidding process is for a dialogue not only from within our company, but also with the subcontractors that we are reaching out to. Nearly all subcontractors we have reached out to for project invitations are familiar with and already in the BuildingConnected system. This allows us to quickly exchange information and receive accurate proposals.
