Owner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Powerful Yet Simple Construction Management Solution" October 30, 2025 5.0 We’ve been using Buildern for a year now and it has genuinely enhanced our operational efficiency. It helped streamline communication between our internal team, clients, and subcontractors, and made our document and cost management far more consistent. Buildern strikes the balance that many platforms miss. It’s powerful enough to manage complex projects but simple enough that everyone on the job can use it effectively. It has allowed us to scale and stay organized without the overhead and learning curve that comes with systems like Procore. Overall, a great fit for a growing commercial construction company. Pros What we like most about Buildern is how it combines capability with simplicity. The platform has all the core functions you’d expect from a high-end construction management software—budget tracking, change orders, subcontractor coordination, progress documentation, and communication tools—but it’s laid out in a way that’s intuitive and easy for our team to adopt. It allows our smaller team to operate like a much larger one without getting bogged down in unnecessary complexity. The interface is clean, the support team is responsive, and implementation was smooth. Cons I would like to be able to view information associated with clients and vendors by pulling up their account in Buildern.

Switched from [Autodesk Forma](https://www.capterra.com/p/218046/Autodesk-Construction-Cloud/) We needed something more versatile and could handle a larger range of project sizes. Review Source GC Grant C. Builder Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent (if not THE BEST) Project Management Software! " January 18, 2025 5.0 Very, very impressed with the software. Exceeded my expectation. Pros Everything about it. Coming from other project management software's I was looking for something that was easy to use and also offered excellent features. This software exceeded my expectation. The customer service is also top notch. \[sensitive content hidden\] is so responsive and helpful. Is there an option for 100/100? Cons Currently been using Buildern for a while and at this stage there is nothing. If there was anything I could always get an answer from their staff within 10mins. Unbelievable. Switched from [Buildxact](https://www.capterra.com/p/173135/buildXACT/)[Houzz Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/199689/Houzz-Pro/) They weren't what we were looking for. Buildern has everything our company needs and more! Review Source PT Priya T. Head of Ops Commercial Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Clean UI and Useful" August 28, 2025 5.0 Pros Its easy to understand and kick off on it. Loved the clarity of the UI. I did self onboarding on to the platform and it was pretty smooth. Cons Still using the platform. Yet to see any defect in the process. Will update the review if anything noticed Review Source DW Desiree W. Account Manager Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It made me so much money" December 5, 2025 5.0 I would tell anyone that this is a great software. It has made me earn more since I began using it than without it. Pros I love the ease of use. Everything you need is right there. It was easy to use as a new contractor. The customer support was remarkable. \[sensitive content hidden\] was there everytime I needed him, no matter the time of day. He made it is so easy to create an estimate and you were able to measure the accuracy in real time. \[sensitive content hidden\] was there for me and was patient and very detailed with his instructions. This was a real value for my money and helped tremendously with all my project manangement issues. Cons I would like to see more in depth tutorials and self learning videos to give more information of the details. I would also like to see a "wrap up" once the project is complete that will allow the GC to give the customer a true price of what it cost to build their home. Review Source MM Mushegh M. Vice President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing Product" September 29, 2024 5.0 This is the most wonderful product I have seen throughout my 25 years of experience in the construction market. Finally a comprehensive product that keeps you in their ecosystem without the need to use other products and accessories. Pros It's comprehensive, yet flexible, user friendly and meets 100% of my needs as a residential general contractor. Cons Some features are still under development, but the company is very responsive and works quickly to meet the needs. Switched from [Premier Construction Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/133101/Premier/) We switched because of wider functionality and cost. Buildern offers much more with less cost.

Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Buildern is a great software package with a lot of potential" October 23, 2024 5.0 Buildern is only getting better and better! Pros Buildern is a great package, and they are open to suggestions, and are constantly upgrading and making improvements. Hmayak is so quick to answer questions, and has been a great help! Cons In the beginning it didn't fit all our needs, but with their upgrade it is now a lot more tailored to our needs Review Source SG Steve G. Director Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wonderful to deal with " July 18, 2024 5.0 Great, \[sensitive content hidden\] has been very accessible and the program ticks all of the boxes for what we need. Pros Proactive in working with ideas we have in what we need our construction management to do for us. Cons No overall job dashboard yet...is coming Switched from [Buildxact](https://www.capterra.com/p/173135/buildXACT/) Better project management and job costing analysis Review Source MG Matt G. Director Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Top Choice Project Management Software" May 15, 2024 5.0 My experience with Buildern has been extremely positive. The software is intuitive and easy to learn, and the support team is always available, providing immediate assistance for any questions I've had. This has enabled a smooth transition from my previous software. Pros Buildern is an excellent construction management software that consistently updates and refines features based on user feedback. The team is responsive and quickly implements changes, improving the software and user experience. I highly recommend Buildern for anyone looking to enhance their building company's operations. Cons Some features are still in the development stages. Reason for choosing Buildern I switched to Buildern after years with another service where I saw little improvement. Within my first week at Buildern, the \[sensitive content hidden\] personally video-called me to discuss how the software could be enhanced. This direct approach and commitment to growth and user-driven refinement confirmed that fully investing in Buildern was the right decision for my company. Switched from [Buildxact](https://www.capterra.com/p/173135/buildXACT/) When I signed up for Buildxact years ago, I was under the impression that minor issues and underdeveloped features would be refined over time. Unfortunately, I've observed very little improvement, and many persistent issues have not been addressed. The software was not meeting my needs, and the updates, once released, were often disappointing or misleading about the features they purported to offer. It felt as though they were just stringing users along. Review Source JH Jordan H. Program Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Most versatile and complete project management software" April 10, 2024 5.0 Pros The software is highly customizable and systematized to create efficient and quick project setup. Also, the client portal is clean and easy to use. The estimating and takeoff function is unique and very quick and easy to run. The development team is very helpful and open to implementing any changes or suggestions we have. Cons It is a young company so I was concerned about it longevity in the industry. A few of the tools still need a little bit more development. Alternatives considered [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/)[Hyphen HomeFront](https://www.capterra.com/p/107691/Job-Simplicity/) Reason for choosing Buildern The estimating and takeoff function is included and integrates with the project cost. Review Source JS John S. CEO Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Decision if this is right for you " July 16, 2024 4.0 Buildern has been very user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and utilise its features efficiently. The team has been exceptionally responsive and transparent, consistently providing clear communication and swift support whenever needed. Pros The team listens attentively to the needs of builders and promptly implements the necessary features and improvements. This dedication ensures that the software continuously evolves to meet user requirements and provides a better overall experience. Cons The software is still in the growing stage Review Source SG Sam G. Director Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sams Review" September 3, 2024 5.0 Has been very beneficial for our business. Would highly recommend to other builders. Pros Estimating, scheduling, tracking budgets. Cons Still learning all of the functions so nothing at this stage. Review Source dH dustin H. Owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "5 Star review for an amazing software!" August 6, 2024 5.0 its been overwhelmingly perfect for what i use it for, i build new construction houses and it does everything i need and more! Pros Very easy to use and pick up, the support team is top notch and handle everything in a super quick and efficient manner! Cons i have no complaints i love this software Review Source JS Jed S. Owner Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "All features and more coming" February 20, 2024 5.0 Pros Ease of use, features included and regular updates with new features. Cons Only a few minor things, which I am confident they will improve anyway. Review Source TM Tamara M. Construction Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All-in-one construction project management at its best!" November 8, 2023 5.0 Pros The standout feature for me is undoubtedly their estimation tool. With just a few clicks, I can transform project plans into comprehensive estimates, complete with material and labor costs. What truly sets it apart, though, is how it allows me to personalize these estimates to my clients' specifications with remarkable ease. As for managing my network of subcontractors and suppliers, Buildern centralizes the whole process. Issuing purchase orders is a breeze directly from the central dashboard. And the seamless integration with accounting systems like QuickBooks means financial tracking is no longer a chore but a simple, automated process. I like how simple and effortless everything becomes with Buildern in my toolkit. It feels like every feature has been designed with user convenience in mind, turning what used to be intricate and time-consuming into straightforward, almost effortless tasks. The results are smoother project flow, clearer communication, and more time to ensure quality workflows. Cons If there's one aspect I'm eager to see evolve, it's the range of features within Buildern's mobile application. The current convenience it offers for on-site management is quite remarkable. However, having a more comprehensive set of Buildern's functionalities available on the mobile platform would greatly enhance the flexibility and freedom to manage projects on the move.

Director and Estimator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best All-in-one Construction Estimating & Project Management Software" November 8, 2023 5.0 It has been very positive for us to move from Buildertrend over to Buildern and our team all agree. The development team are very responsive to any suggestions, and they keep you up to speed with what is on the roadmap for Buildern Pros It has everything in one software. We have had to use two or more software programs to run our business until we found Buildern. Cons A couple of the modules require a few more features to make things more efficient however I believe these are in development now. The mobile App also requires a few more of the Online features and I understand are not far away, however all the on-site required modules are on the Mobile App for our team Reason for choosing Buildern We were able to run everything on the one software program. Review Source Andre A. CEO Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I think this is it. " January 20, 2022 5.0 Overall I have been satisfied and truly impressed. Using buildern has improved the customer experience we have been able to provide. It has also helped improved following up with vendors and subs to push them to stick to the schedule. Pros The team is amazing. I think this is the first CRM/ Project management tool that has developed what they said they would. When they told me they will roll out with a automated follow up feature in a month they actually did. The tool they have built out for managing potential projects in the pipeline is great. I think it has helped us better follow up with our customers and sign more jobs possibly. Different sections pull data as you progress minimizing double entry work. As soon as the contract is signed all the info is pulled into the project and filled out, ready to go. The budgeting and job costing tool is pretty robust and they have made significant improvements on it over the last few months. Comparing budget to actual is extremely easy to do as well. I think the biggest advantage is the improved communication this has allowed for between our clients and PM's, we all know communication is key, and we were not the best at it. I still think we have room to improve, the software just makes it easier. Cons I think the scheduling tool has room for improvment. I have talked to there dev team and they have mentioned that they are working on a few features, I have not seen anything yet. I will try to update this review once I do. I am personally used to using Microsoft Project, not sure if that makes me biased. I still prefer project for scheduling. Review Source JJ Josh J. Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Exceeds Buildertrend" March 7, 2024 5.0 From the moment I started using Buildern Software, I was impressed by its simplicity and effectiveness. As someone who's been in the construction industry for years, finding a software solution that seamlessly integrates into our workflow was a must. We have been using Buildertrend for several years, and when I started using Buildern I was amazed at how much better it was than Buildertrend. No software is perfect, however my favourite thing about Buildern is their ability to genuinely listen to user feedback and quickly implement changes & updates. There has been alot feedback that I have provided to Buildern and they have pretty much implemented nearly every single suggestion I have made which has only made the software better for everyone. I have tried to provide the same feedback to Buildertrend in the past but it has fallen on deaf ears. Buildertrend seem more focused on building there client base up before trying to actually fix all the things that are wrong with it, whereas its evident that Buildern are trying to get the product working 100% from the start, which honestly is smart because the client base will grow organically once this is achieved. I really appreciate the Buildern team and have really loved working with them and am happy that we have finally found a complete software solution that actually works! Pros A comprehensive project management software that actually does what you need it to do! Cons I honestly can't really report anything that I dislike about Buildern. The few little items that I have provided Buildern feedback on have been rectified by them almost immediately! Review Source BM Ben M. Director Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buildern is what we have been waiting for" November 16, 2023 4.0 Fantastic. Buildern is eager to hear our feedback on functionality and how the software is working in the field. Pros Buildern allows us to be more transparent with our clients and their estimates by including overheads, insurances, and builder costs as a default, rather than dispersing these genuine business costs somewhere randomly within an estimate. Buildern's method of creating an assembly is far easier than other programs I have used. The home screen is very easy to navigate. Variations are easy to create and present clearly to the client. Cons Some features need to be refined to make them more efficient, such as integrating timesheets into Xero, a dashboard to see the scheduling for multiple projects running simultaneously using the same trades, etc. and hopefully down a CRM. Alternatives considered [Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/) Reason for choosing Buildern The cost of the alternate products was excessive, and after a demonstration of the software, we could see the powerful tool Buildern was tuning into Switched from [Buildxact](https://www.capterra.com/p/173135/buildXACT/)[Tradify](https://www.capterra.com/p/152413/Tradify/) Buildern developers are truly listening to the industry and designing a platform that will overtake every other construction program Review Source Mari S. Project Manager assistant Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing software!" January 26, 2022 5.0 Our small team used Buildern during the pandemic when we worked from home. But as soon as we return to the office, we continue to use this beast for 100%. Pros I really like the scheduling module. I create schedule items very easily, I can change them whenever I want. I also use the Deppendency set function very often when planning, and it seems good to me. But my favorite feature is Bildern's reminders. Through them, I can send notifications to my teammates and subcontractors before starting work. One of the sexiest options of Buildern is its customizability. There are so many ways to manipulate and change data. A real dream for PM. I am very satisfied with the quality of service too. They are constantly updating the system and sharing the expected news. I learned that the mobile app will be available soon. And not only that, there will be other big thing - a function, when after signing the contract, the system copies into the project the data instead of you. That is, you do not need to fill up the info manually. I am really waiting for that. Cons One of the cons is the absence of the mobile app. Well, you know, you don't always have a computer on hand, but it happens that you have to take urgent action. The mobile app is extremely important Review Source RV Ruben V. Construction Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Complete Revelation" January 5, 2022 5.0 So, guys I really recommend this thing. Even decided to switch to the professional plan. Well, I don't know - the number of clients is increasing, I think we need it already. We'll see... Pros Honestly, for me, this software was a complete revelation. 8 months ago my uncle and I started our construction business, and on the advice of his friend we decided to try the Buildern's free package first, and after we switched to Starter Plan. In general, we are satisfied. Of course, there are still things to be improved, but for now, we are totally OK with this thing. And look at the price! Man, it is a very fine deal compared to the other stuff in the market. I would mention planning as the best function. The flexibility is a king here, and the interface is simple and clear. Yes, by the way, everything works very fast. I mean - enough fast, Plenty of planning options. If you, like us, just LOVE to plan and prefer to arrange everything carefully, this is for you. We use this function everywhere possible: construction process, job management, sales, invoicing. Runs perfectly! Communication is also decently organized. We easily connect with the people we want, and the same is true for managing the tasks. As far as I get it, there are constant updates in this direction. Let's say - pretty good, but will be much better! Cons Sometimes things get complicated, mostly when it comes to formatting. For sure, I would like to have a much easier approach here. But as I mentioned, it feels like the devs are working on the product and they do follow the feedback. This is very nice news for the users. I hope they will read my review too. Review Source TB Tim B. Carpenter Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive, all the right features" October 10, 2023 5.0 Buildern is exactly what we've been looking for. All the crucial features required for residential construction and renovation, easy for everyone to use... Feels like it's been developed by builders who know what we actually need. Pros A well organised app with features you actually need. Caters for all my team, from builder and tradies to apprentices. Easy to share relevant information with those who need it - building schedule, plans etc. So far time saved on timesheets and daily briefings. Well done developers, highly recommend. Cons I guess the interface could be a little more jazzy but that's splitting hairs. Review Source TB Tricia B. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Buildern is great" October 10, 2023 5.0 I don't have any problems being resolved at the moment; any minor issues I previously had were resolved promptly by the developers. Pros Buildern incorporates everything to manage a project in to one piece of software. It is easy to use/navigate and is very intuitive. Being able to file all selections for a project is a huge bonus; like photos, spec sheets and weblinks; this makes it easy to share this information with a client. Cons Nothing to dislike with Buildern it is continually improving and I am looking forward to seeing new features as they are rolled out. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Backend Developer Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We use Buildern for sales, estimations, and project management. It is an excellent tool both for cus" January 25, 2022 5.0 Pros The first thing I really like here is that you can manage existing projects and opportunities. As soon as the contract is signed, all the info is automatically copied into the project and you don't need to fill up the data manually. The second cool thing is that you can estimate budgets and actual job costs ․ This is a very important function. Whether there is a change in the material prices or some up and downs within the labor cost, you can see all that impact on the budget at once. Excellent! And finally, the third big advantage - easy communication. This software is very well designed so that any client or contractor gets emails without logging in and responds to their requests.They like this feature very much. And, in general, the communication with the construction site is also conveniently organized. No special knowledge is needed to set it up. Cons The scheduling tool is very functional, but it could be improved. Review Source Similar Products Featured
