President Construction ### "Works System Ever" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 September 22, 2025 We have used this software for 3 years and we have lost two accounting people because they hate it so much. Pros The only thing remotely functional about ECI MarkSystems is the ITK Scheduling Calendar which makes it easier for supervisors to check off when work is done. Cons The accounting software is horrendous. The implementation was done incorrectly but they refuse to admit this. Even the accountants that we have on retainer for monthly service can't figure out how to use this system. Just to get a current cash balance takes 10 minutes. It's also crazy that the screen for this system only takes up 1/2 of the computer screen. It doesn't have the ability to maximize itself so be prepared to use glasses at all times. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) We switched for the purchase order system and scheduling software.

I’ve used 4 home builder systems and this is my favorite Pros Ease of use. Once you set up project work orders and purchase orders you can release homes quickly Cons Sometimes you have to dig and update to find information Switched from [Hyphen HomeFront](https://www.capterra.com/p/107691/Job-Simplicity/) Ease of use.

Pros It is completely comprehensive and covers everything from estimating to scheduling. Cons The user interface is very basic. It feels like an old windows program. Switched from [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Estimating was better on Eci at the time.

We have never been able to keep track of our cost better Pros I like most about this product that it allows us to build estimates for custom houses and custom options Cons Not all reports allow you to select all or selected companies to print. We have about 10 different companies and have to print some reports one at a time. Reasons for choosing ECI MarkSystems So much more advance at the time Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Director of Operations Construction ### "Enterprise Software that Scales as you Grow" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 January 13, 2020 Growth is very important to our company and this software has allowed us to grow beyond our previous software solution. We are continuing to grow and the software will scale with us, but as we grow our needs are expanding as well. Mark Systems will have to continue improving it's ability for management to have visibility into it's data for it stay relevant for us. Pros Cloud based. Completely integrated builder software. Customization. Online portal for inside and outside users. Ensure strengths of internal controls. Complex internal cost tracking system. Cons Does not have metrics or dashboards included that can help management. Some of the interfaces for entering data are slow and a little encumbering to use. Alternatives considered [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Reasons for choosing ECI MarkSystems We received a recommendation about the product and it had many features we were looking for to replace Quickbooks. Scalability with a small overhead footprint was the main draw.

Project Manager Construction ### "MarkSystems - WoodFalls Development" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 8, 2020 All information is real time on MarkSystems. This makes our Purchasing and accounting run and function smoothly. Pros What I like most about MarkSystems is the fact that I only have 1 software that I am using for scheduling, budgets, Purchase Orders and Invoicing. Prior to MarkSystems I was working out of 3 different programs. Cons What I like least about MarkSystems (More of an ITK issue) is that the VPO's are not able to be emailed to vendors. Most of our vendors are not sitting at a desk so an email on their phone would be beneficial to speed up orders and processes. Switched from [BuildPro](https://www.capterra.com/p/225064/BuildPro/) Needed something easier to maintain and function. Alternatives considered [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Reasons for choosing ECI MarkSystems Pricing and for what MarkSystems offered. Not too mention the customer service is outstanding.

KM Ken M. owner Construction ### "K2C Building" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 7, 2016 The product is nice - longer learning curve was needed when it comes to making roof lines and 3d walkthroughs. Stairs were a bit tricky too. Overall the product is nice and was beneficial in terms of designing the home(s) and presenting the designs to customer(s). Pros Ease of installation and 3d capabilities. Cons WISH PRODUCT would be able to pull prices for items from big box stores (Menards, HomeDepot, Lowes) to help calculate material costs. Right now it is a lot of effort to enter these costs manually.
