Pros

“It makes scheduling, communication, budgeting, and document sharing easy in one platform, helping construction projects stay organized and on track.”
NC

Nikki C.

PERMIT TECHNICIAN

“By introducing Buildertrend, our labour force was able to enter all of their daily logs, expenses, and project updates all from their phone, which resulted in fewer lost documents, more daily awareness from all teams, and more than 30 hours saved in manual data entry and filing time for the administrative team.”

“Client updates feature is very popular with our clients and the AI feature to pull photos and generate a summary for the client is gold.”

Pros

“The platform is primarily optimized for the North American market, which shows in certain default measurement units and technical terminologies that require manual adjustment at the start.”
RS

Ricky S.

VP World Class Maintenance Maintenance and Reliability

“I particularly like the "Item & Assembly" structure—it ensures that when I measure a wall, I'm not just getting linear footage, but a full breakdown of studs, drywall, and insulation.”
FF

FHIDMANF F.

“For example if I want to take off a concrete slab. If I use volume 2D type measurement, I’m able to takeoff a polygon area and set the thickness. When I go to estimates I only have the option to price via CY.”
KS

Kyle S.

Operations Manager

Cons

“This is quiet an expensive software for a small company to manage, and I found their sales team to be a bit pushy regarding add-ons even though we frequently reminded them that the add-ons were not applicable to our business, either due to structure or size, and out of price range.”

Salina T.

Operations Coordinator

“I’ve been a long-time Buildertrend user, and while the software itself is fine and generally works as advertised, I’ve run into a major issue that anyone considering this platform should be aware of: it’s extremely difficult to export your information if you ever decide to leave.”
RT

Rob T.

Owner

“They also make it incredibly difficult to retrieve your information and export it out if you cancel.”
RT

Cons

“It does not entirely capture how we process our estimates and does not have the flexibility of just exporting it as an Excel sheet and transferring the takeoffs to a workbook.”

Matthew B.

Exterior Estimator

“It works but AI will make it obsolete for many customers if you don’t stay ahead of the curve and start offering customer focused solutions. Why would I pay these huge subscriptions otherwise”
RC

Rick C.

Cheif Operations Officer

“Sometimes the platform feels a little slow, although it may be related to my internet connection or when using a VPN.”
