Overall Satisfaction with Contractor Foreman

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As someone who has used multiple project management platforms, I sincerely appreciate Contractor Foreman’s ease of use and versatility. It’s the complete package—covering everything from estimating and organization to customer service and beyond.
In the past, we relied on several different software solutions to run efficiently, but with Contractor Foreman, everything is in one place. Truthfully, I know we could take even greater advantage of its features in the future, whether by integrating labor and material costs, exploring the leads module, or becoming more proficient with the Gantt scheduling tool. Those are just a few areas we plan to phase in over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

estimating
directory
organization

Cons

cost items database
archiving projects
sub contracts

Return on Investment

We were able to find a 18,000 change order that been signed but not billed. Contractor Foreman was great because we were able to find the discrepancy but it also would not have happened if the "billed" button made more sense in functionality.

Usability

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

Alternatives Considered

Projul and Buildium

I used Projul and Buildium when I was primarily managing rental properties rather than full home builds. Projul was great for estimating and invoicing, while Buildium served its purpose well at the time. Now, as a small construction company, Contractor Foreman provides everything we need in one platform, making project management much more efficient.
