Trimble e-Builder Reviews - Page 6

It is step by step easy not at all a difficult program to learn. The information is reliable and in my opinion the program is efficient precise.

I really enjoy working with eBuilder the information is reliable when searching for accounts paid. It also gives a confirmation number or account check number information to be documented that it was paid. I like the consistency of the program.

Love the ability to house all project related docs in 1 system & use it for processing Work Orders, RFP's, and invoices.

System tends to lag often, view options for customizing info columns in modules is limited, bidding/schedule modules need upgrade for better functionality.

Linear programming, really helpful when searching for documents, standardize the filing work. Customer service is great.

Dashboard needs to improve, adding more columns. Difficult to produce reports with functions, needs more thoughts on how to improve this application.

Alerts me when files I need to keep for our records are added in. Record Drawings, Submittals and Warranties etc.

Sometimes it is slow probably a network problem.

Hi Kenneth. Thanks for your review. All reviews are reviewed by our marketing and product management teams to improve our products and services.

I love being able to notify a group of people of a document upload with a click of a button. I also like that I can keep track of shop drawings per sheet.

Takes a little time to learn. If you change the work flow throughout the project life, it is a little complicated.

e-Builder's reporting functionality is second to none. I am able to use out-of-box and custom reports to get my people the data they need. The way the dashboard function links with these reports to show charts and graphs is important as well.

My one interaction with the online/email based tech support went unanswered. I had to follow up with a phone call 29 hrs after my submission.

I really like the ease of customization that I can implement myself as an admin and the reports that can be created.

There are a handful of improvements that we are working with our account manager to get addressed but this doesn't always seem to be a quick process

Document Management and workflow are key pieces that are helping our organization. The ability to utilize BI for reporting is also a major plus.

Rigidity of the design and code that hampers some desired (custom) functions. Many times during implementation we have had issues with not being able to change some key pieces because "the code won't allow it."

You track the the paperwork and processes with ease.

Nothing to comment on.

Ease of use \ dependability \ easy access to outstanding customer service and support \ ability to create custom reports

With ease of use come some limitations in report design. Cannot search by company number to find a company in the contacts module.

All project information is available. A complete template of the folder structure and contents is extremely useful.

User error in submitting a process and filing In the correct folder. Simple user instructions will be beneficial.

The single location for all project data is huge asset. Staff is able to find all nec. information quickly.

The Planning module is a huge disappointment. Site response time varies greatly. We need more training materials.

It is a great tool for owners in the space - it covers every aspect from funding to change to schedule and packages it up into a single product. Also a big fan of the program management functionality which really sets it apart from the construction management software that you often see which only focuses on a single project.

The UX/UI is extremely dated and needs a touch up. Custom coding on the WBS/CBS is a bit clunky too and needs a lot of training for people to get right.

It's challenging, and allows the creation of a consistent standard set of practices across the organization.

It's challenging to learn and to use sometimes. It is also difficult to express the benefits to outside contractors who will be using the system.

Ease of use. Cloud based.

The interface could use an update.

Ease of use and flexibility. I have enjoyed using the product over the last nine years. I would recommend it.

Some data fields not available for setting up reports. Some fields that I need such as budget line item cannot be used in some reports.

The broad spectrum for inputs. We utilized the system from the bidding module through the pay application and closeout processes. With everything in a common repository it saved time and effort in providing the necessary support documents for the various business processes.

The lack of flexibility in the workflows meant that the front-end planning for use had to address all potential alternatives. The system favors a Design-Build approach which assumes the design team to be the construction managers. Our project was Design-Bid-Build with the PM/CM managing the build and having only limited need for design sign-off.

Easy to use and having very wide range of options that Construction team can use to manage the project.

WSWD , it's more complicated to use, need more improvement.

paying invoices is easy and quick to do.

the redlining function is terrible and cumbersome to use

It is a compete solution for Project Management Software Easy to use with almost no learning curve Easy project tracking processes with complete information Comprehensive reports and dashboards, scheduling and document management

No cons were added to this review

A lot of good features and functionality. helps standardize workflows in office. mobile functions are a plus.

tailored nature of processes makes it a little hard to communicate with customer support. Mobile app could be more user friendly.

The Document management features allow you to file things in a very organized fashion.

Takes a while to learn, not very intuitive.

I like the ability to customize reports for our specific project

User interface needs improvement. It is hard to find documents and work through the software at times
