Overall Satisfaction with Contractor Foreman

Estimation creation, project tracking, and utilization of the client portal is the most important part of the program that we utilize. Having accurate estimates that are priced properly, being prepared and properly tracking the project, and having the customers remain informed during the entirety of the project is all addressed by using the project

Pros

  • Customer Support
  • Cost Item Database
  • Cost Tracking
  • Invoicing

Cons

  • User ability (moving sections on todos etc)
  • Service/ downtime
  • Invoicing percentages
  • Profits are up
  • Preparedness is up
  • Schedule is more defined
The 2 remaining from a perfect 10 score would be the user ability. Other programs, WMS, ERP etc other software's that I have used offer the ability to customize things better. It is almost as if they had users test it for a while and find the limits. There are just limits all over CF
The communication within CF is not as reliable as I would like it to be. We communicate on teams internally to make sure all of the information is translated properly. Within CF, we rely on multiple positions to add details to a project. Attempting to compile everything within CF doesn't work well

Did Contractor Foreman live up to sales and marketing promises?

Did implementation of Contractor Foreman go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Contractor Foreman again?

Yes

Well suited: Reviewing the project progress at the weekly meeting. Each person left detailed daily logs that included pictures so we were able to identify work flow, potential mistakes, and properly plan for the next day. The to-dos are great for people on the job site. Less appropriate: Attempting to schedule everything. Project tasks are rather funky

Using Contractor Foreman

6 - I am the operations manager. I detail specifics within the project to help schedule out the project. Our salesman creates estimates using the estimate feature; specifically the cost items database to detail the estimates. Our team leads rely on the daily logs feature to detail project completion on a day to day basis
2 - Updating project completion falls upon me as operation manager here at our company. Our team lead details what was accomplished that day to help relay said information to our client.

I utilize all potential channels to make sure project information is detailed; I use the scheduling features to manage multiple crews over multiple sites
  • Estimate Build out
  • Daily Logs
  • Expense tracking
  • Client Portal
  • To-Do Lists
  • Picture markup
  • Employee onboarding
  • Phase Control
  • Templates
We have compiled so much information on CF it would be counterproductive to move to another software. We have also sold a lot of clients on the client portal feature. It is crucial for our communication between customers. The only reason we wouldn't renew the service is if somewhere offered the exact same service but at a lower cost

Evaluating Contractor Foreman and Competitors

  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
The ease of use was a big feature for our company. Construction guys are not the most tech savy people so it is important to be able to relay all of the important information in a way that is easy to understand and appreciate. Most of the services are rather cohesive
I would ask for a free 30 day trial to setup the service. Outlining the cost item database, personnel, getting familiar with the services; we weren't able to see any major value until month 2-3, so it seemed difficult to justify the purchase necessary to set it all up. Potentially getting more informed
