Pros
All of my experiences with Building Connected have been nothing but pleasant. Their staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable.
Top notch product with excellent customer support that improves our ability to win work.
It is the best "software" on the market. With the integration into the whole Autodesk family, BuildingConnected is definitely the best "bang for your buck.
Cons
This should be for ALL cases where one needs to type information. There is too many BAD EMAIL ADDRESSES identified in the database that NEVER get corrected.
I dislike that you have to use the software to obtain quotes.
No mobile device support, and trying to get subcontractors to all submit on the platform has proved difficult.

Great software for receiving bids.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Smoother bids days and was of communicating with my sub contractors.

Pros

The added value to communicate with all my sub contractors at one given time in one specific scope of work is priceless. I have been using this for over a year and have grown to love all its free features and the paid version is even better. Being able to price check all the bids side by side.

Cons

Getting everyone on board to use the software. Sometimes that is the only challenge that I have. But when everyone is on board man do bid days go so smooth.

Building Connected - pros and cons

Reviewed 4 years ago

It is good for broadcasting bids, requires a lot of extra work to level bids and complete bid forms.

Pros

Nice interface, large list of available subs on the contact list

Cons

Many subcontractors struggle to use the software. It seems as if 1/3 to 1/2 of contacted subs do not get the message or do not respond

Bid invite system that's well worth the price

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, this system is amazing. Implementation was simple. You can choose to dial in your uploads with the integration team or start from scratch. Training was in person and super easy and fast. Online videos are available and customer support can help. Estimating teams will be blown away with how easy it is to customize a bid form, collect bids, soft award, complete bid leveling, and win jobs.

Pros

There are so many pros to this online application. To keep it brief: implementation is fast, training is about 15 - 30 minutes, ease of use is insane, capabilities are off the wall with online customizable bid forms, easy file sharing, massively amazing messaging system, brilliant bid leveling online which can be exported and manipulated further, and more! On top of all this, Building Connected integrates with other systems that complete the entire bid to project to close out process.

Cons

The greatest con about this software is that any and everyone can create a fee company listing, so you may view vendor/sub information that's invalid. However, if someone's responsible and reports and edit Building Connected will fix this. Most people don't seem to take this action, though. So don't be surprised if some of the listed information isn't 100% accurate.

My thoughts having used BUILDING CONNECTED for a number of years.......

Reviewed 4 years ago

Very useful & user friendly, in general.

Pros

Super user friendly (for most who are 'remotely' tech savvy )

Cons

I dislike that subcontractors who view the ITB can close it and do not have to confirm their intent, thus wasting a lot of time when we have to call "non-responders". A feature whereby they cannot leave the ITB without conforming their intent, either way. This would save DAYS of phone calls on each bid chasing people who have no intent of bidding. OR, non-responders should get a daily automatic reminder...
