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.”

“The annual license was far too expensive for its worth when it was $600. ”
MC

Michael C.

Vice President

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

Owner

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