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.

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.

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.
