Pros

“We are able to manage estimating, scheduling, job costing, time tracking, invoicing, and project documentation without needing multiple software programs.”

Keara H.

Office Manager

“The platform is highly customizable, allowing us to tailor it to our workflows, and the customer support team has been excellent throughout the implementation process.”

Keara H.

Office Manager

“The platform makes it easy to manage estimates, schedules, documents, daily logs, time tracking, and communication all in one place.”

Bayleigh R.

Project Coordinator

Pros

“Build Partner offers a independent one-stop shop for small practitioners to better understand, manage and acquire costs for construction projecst.”

Anthony R.

Director

“This has been a game changer for our busienss that we can now cost out all of our projects at mutiple stages of the process.”

Tom M.

Director

“I run an architectural design practice and I’ve used BuildPartner to produce somewhere between 50-100 cost reports at this point.”

David C.

Director

Cons

“Additionally, while the mobile interface is functional, there are occasional inconsistencies in loading speeds when switching between complex modules—such as moving from detailed cost reports to daily logs—which can impact efficiency during busy site visits.”

Ilkin B.

Project Manager

“The only thing I wish I could do, was have the system send and email (invoice or estimate or whatever) and the email shows that its coming from me instead of contractor foreman. If I forget to tell the client, they dont recognize the email address and they dont open it.”

Selicio A.

Project Manager

“The biggest issue for me was reliability and the amount of time I lost dealing with bugs and integration problems, especially with QuickBooks.”

Matt P.

Owner

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.”
