Overall Satisfaction with Contractor Foreman

I am a home builder who uses Contractor Foreman. We mostly use Contractor Foreman for a crm, estimates/change orders, organizing files/photos/document, and a place to keep general information about projects. I use the scheduling feature mostly for meetings with customers. We used other CRMs in the past but they were fairly limited and would have required integrating a bunch of multiple programs. Contractor Foreman has pretty much everything we could need.

Pros

  • Estimates
  • Change orders
  • Contacts

Cons

  • Navigation across the platform can be wonky
  • Document writer is a little annoying to set up
  • Lead organization is done by leads per stage not stage
  • I have saved so much time on creating estimates. Being able to create estimate templates makes estimates much faster.
  • For job costing I am able to see right on my estimate if a bid I got was in my expected budget or not instead of keeping notes separately.
It takes a long time to fully set it up. I have only set up about 20% of all the provided modules.
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. One of my friends uses Zoho for HVAC and I liked the Contractor Foreman interface better.

Do you think Contractor Foreman delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Contractor Foreman's feature set?

Yes

Did Contractor Foreman live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Contractor Foreman go as expected?

No

Would you buy Contractor Foreman again?

Yes

If you do multiple trades for construction, Contractor Foreman is awesome. If you do one trade like flooring, roofing, electrical, etc I think it's a little overboard for what you'd need.
You need to be able to spend time setting Contractor Foreman up. The tutorial videos are usually very helpful.
