Marg CoConstruct

I do think the customer service is helpful and responsive. I think overall, the management app works well.

While my colleagues and I have suggested multiple suggestions that we were told were good and being sent to their enhancement team, we've yet to see those suggestions utilized.

This management tool feels like it is still improving. It does not have a lot of reports or features like Quickbooks or Excel, which I also use in tandem.

It's been very helpful to use this program with clients and trade partners. It makes communication more seamless.

It has facilitated selections and simplifying bidding

It doesn’t come with fully free trial and costs but more

It had helped me a lot in preparing my bid

Having the ability to bring all project elements into one place: so estimating, build plans, communicating with sub-contractors and capturing all relevant documentation. Mobile app is very helpful in making sure everything is feed back into the system while on site.

The estimating tool is very clunky. It doesn't allow you to load all the various estimates received from subs into the system and choose which options to select and automatically update the budget. That is challenging when considering different approaches to roofing, siding, kitchens etc. Estimating is positioned as one of its primary differentiators and it was very flexible in aligning of how you might cost out a project.

CoConstruct is a great initial tool particularly for smaller shops like ours. The ease of use on the estimating could be improved and so larger organizations may want to consider other higher cost options that allows for more flexibility. Good at the price point but definitely has some limitations.

The primary issue we were trying to solve is keeping consistent communication and planning across the project lifecycle. A web based tool is ideal in that way particularly since some of our team are in different locations. Having a single platform means we can easily access all the documentation we need for managing the project.

- The mobile app could use some further development

By using this software, we are able to streamline selections, introduce single entry estimations & simplify bidding to allow our Purchase team to prepare proposals in time. Also, able to manage leads and deliver satisfying service to customers.

It can create custom proposals and import files with a simplified drag-and-drop mechanism.

The communication with the client improved significantly

The projects can be broken down into smaller tasks, to which the agents have full access, thus maintaining transparency in the system

Mobile users can download app in their Android or iOS devices

It does not come with a free trial.

It is a bit expensive than its competition softwares, but it comes with project/task management, sales, accounting, collaboration, and CRM features in the very same package, therefore making it worth the money

Careful planning on building selection templates is a must. You cannot spend too much time with this. It is also really important, if you want selections to be the best time-saving tool in the program, that you update your selection templates as you make modifications in specific items in projects. Also, a good plan for numbering selection items is necessary for keep items in a logical sequence and grouping in categories that make sense

Earlier, we were running around like crazy looking at printouts of Microsoft project and having to update the schedules at night. It was very time-consuming. The scheduling is hands down the best feature of this service. It allows us to schedule our subs without spending as much time on the phone, calling everyone to inform them of what we need to be done. It also eliminates the need for me to adjust the schedule manually at night and having to call everyone in the morning while driving to work every day. Another great feature is the selections page!! No more tedious questions on paint, tile siding, doors, hardware, etc.
