Director

Cons

“The navigation within the plan viewer can sometimes feel a bit laggy when handling high-resolution MEP files with many layers.”

garrett m.

Vice president

“They allow estimating companies to have access to planhub so they can use the platform to spam everyone....EVERY DAY.”

Nathalie L.

Project Manager

“It is difficult to find the architecturals or structurals or just the plan set because many of the names on files are in code and don't make sense.”

Roby E.

Estimator

Cons

“Buildpartner will sometimes make generic assumptions, particularly with regards to retrofit/refurbishment works, that you need to keep an eye on. If Buildpartner's assumptions are incorrect it can have dramatic implications on projected build costs. ”

Gareth R.

Architect

“At times, locating specific work packages may pose a challenge unless you possesses the precise terminology required for input in the search bar.”

Sachith F.

General Manager

“There is no undo button if you make a mistake.”
