Construction estimation, design and project management tool

About Materio

Materio is a cloud-based software designed to help construction businesses create estimates/proposals and manage construction projects on a centralized platform. Supervisors can build estimates using the visual estimation tool and provide project access to clients or team members to facilitate overall collaboration.

Materio allows organizations to upload floor plans or mood boards on the platform and create project scopes by selecting custom categories and adding pricing estimates according to requirements. Managers can use the finance dashboard to view change orders, project expenses, estimated cost, gross profit, and more. It also lets users send material/item selections to clients and track the status of approval as ‘open’, ‘awaiting approval’, and ‘confirmed’.

Materio enables businesses to view the scheduled arrival of ordered materials on a calendar and capture progress pictures of sites using the mobile application. The software also helps users create duplicate project plans to send multiple bids simultaneously.

We love Materio!

Materio is easy to use, has great customer service ([sensitive content hidden] is a gem!) and the software has completely streamlined our process both externally with our clients and internally as a team. It has made budgeting way easier and more transparent, and I love having all our tasks and timelines in one place to keep us on schedule. We have received positive feedback from both clients and the builders we work with, and overall has made our workflow much more efficient, streamlined, and keeps everyone in the loop. We are truly so happy with Materio and excited to see new features roll out.

Pros

- The scope outline is very clear and easy for our clients to digest
- It has made budgeting and scheduling projects so much more transparent with our clients and easier for our team to manage
- Client approvals now come so much faster and is a lot easier for clients to review options and give us feedback
- Purchasing is way more streamlined and our accountant loves how everything is synced in a clean way with Quickbooks
- We like the feature to enter tracking into our purchase orders and how their arrival dates show up on our calendar.
- Adding tasks in the timeline view under our design phases has been very helpful! The ability to add our process template to a new project is great.
- It's a teachable software that will allow our team to grow and business to scale.
- [sensitive content hidden] is an absolute gem! He's so quick to respond and extremely helpful and kind! We really enjoy communicating with him.

Cons

- I wish the timer was a bit more flexible. Would be nice to hit the play button and then log our info (project, scope, and notes) at the end before we hit stop.
- Would be nice to see our gantt chart also in a calendar view. Our clients find it a bit cumbersome to scroll sideways for a long period of time.

Reasons for Switching to Materio

Way better interface than the others and easy to use. We like that Materio is directed towards visual learners. The way we can upload floor plans and tag our products is genius! Our bookkeeper Meg mentioned how QuickBooks syncs way better with Materio than other products.

Customer service is always amazing and take feedback to continue improving features to make it more user friendly. Sometimes feedback is applied within a week or two of mentioning it.

Pros

Integration of design/selections and ease of use

Cons

Not much I don’t like, but they are always improving based on customer feedback. A few minor things I’d love to see updates on, but still leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.

It has been way, way harder to onboard and use and the cost is so high that I would not redo the choice to join but I am too deep in to switch. It hasn't been worth the cost upgrade of leaving something that was under $100 a month to what we pay now. It is a huge expense for me as a small business, and I haven't saved that in time or effort

Pros

I like the photos by room that show what is in each space

Cons

I dont like that we cant send a full view of the costs of an items in a format of an invoice for approval

The Project Management Game-Changer!

Reviewed on 2024/10/10

Pros

Materio is basically a 'one-stop-shop' project management system, offering all of the features and services on ONE platform that our company was previously using THREE for!  From client interface and communication to internal tasks and communication, planning and budgeting to procurement and product tracking, time tracking,  bookkeeping/accounting, and MORE - it has truly been a game-changer for our team! 

Another pro of Materio is the multiple 'help' features it offers if/when issues/questions arise, especially during the onboarding phase of new Materio users.  Between the AI Materio bot, tutorial videos, and live webinars, Materio provides all of the tools to help make the learning process easy and, if you can't find the answer(s) you're looking for in one of the above, there is always a friendly, knowledgeable (human!) Customer Success team member available via webchat to help guide and answer any questions.

Additionally, we love being able to suggest/request new system features (that they actually take into consideration) as well as being able to see what features are currently in development and/or recently launched.  Materio is constantly improving their system to accommodate the business needs of their users. 

Overall, Materio is an excellent program and we highly recommend it to any business in search of a new project management system.  Thanks for all you do, Materio Team!

Cons

Materio is not the cheapest platform we have used, but given all that it has to offer to a business, it truly is worth every penny.

Pros

The visual aspect of this program is a gamechanger. Love being able to mark the plans and perform takeoffs right on the plans. Perfect for our cost plus model. Love the stacks and mood boards, oh and the QR codes!

Cons

The app leaves us longing for more. Would love a 'company cam' style functionality for field notes so we could drop a separate subscription service.

Reasons for Choosing Materio

Cost was outrageous and client experience wasn't good. Budget/cost updates were lackluster and that program didn't work with our cost plus model.
