Clients can read and respond directly through their personal email, which is a real bonus for older clients who are technology illiterate. It also allows us to keep all of our conversations centralized and documented. And mid conversation, we can toggle between a team-only chat within a client conversation which is such an amazing feature. > > **Cons**: They are no longer updating CoConstruct. While they say that they won't sunset the program in the near future, it still feels like it is on a countdown timer before you are forced to switch to BuilderTrend. > > Our Company has used CoConstruct for a number of years. There are definitely some specific features that we would love to see implemented. But overall, CoConstruct has given us the ability to manage all our projects. Our sales team loves creating estimates using the program, and scheduling is simple and easy to use. ----- ### "Proceed with Caution" — 2.0/5 > **Rob** | *04 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly decent software and there are a lot of features, but takes a lot of time to learn how to use it > > **Cons**: terrible customer service and technology advances are not top priority. They also make it incredibly difficult to retrieve your information and export it out if you cancel. > > I’ve been a long-time Buildertrend user, and while the software itself is fine and generally works as advertised, I’ve run into a major issue that anyone considering this platform should be aware of: it’s extremely difficult to export your information if you ever decide to leave. I attempted to cancel several months ago, only to learn that there is no simple or bulk way to download years’ worth of files, photos, proposals, and customer information. Because I’ve used Buildertrend for several years, manually exporting everything one item at a time would take an unreasonable amount of time. I reached out to support, expecting a solution, and was told that there is no option for bulk downloading data — something I find very hard to believe for software at this scale. As a result, I’ve been forced to continue paying for a platform I’m no longer actively using simply because I need access to my historical project data. For contractors, builders, or construction businesses considering Buildertrend: be extremely careful. Once your information is inside their system, retrieving it later is a massive challenge. If you’re planning to switch platforms in the future or just want flexibility, keep in mind that your data will not be easily portable. Great software should empower users — not lock them in. Unfortunately, until Buildertrend addresses this major issue, I can’t recommend it without serious caution. ----- ### "A decent software" — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *25 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buildertrend effectively centralizes project management, scheduling, and communication. The tool helps me keep field teams, office staff, and clients aligned throughout the entire project. > > **Cons**: At first, the range of features can feel overwhelming. Some functionalities overlap and require time to configure in order to fit internal processes. ----- ### "Buildertrend keeps our renovation projects on time." — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *03 July 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The scheduling and client communication tools are my go-to. I’m able to manage subs, monitor progress and update homeowners in real time with live changes to the schedule all from the same platform. > > **Cons**: There were a few teething pains early on, particularly importing our old projects. Also, not all subcontractors were fast to transition to the app. > > We had more control over timelines and budgets. Less miscommunication, less waiting on everyone else our team just gets more done with fewer of the headaches. ----- ### "Ok for small builders" — 2.0/5 > **Shauna** | *05 November 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: was excited to use a program that worked and made what we did easier to handle our big load of projects > > **Cons**: Instead of ease of use and making the load lighter we struggled figuring out where everything was, having to rearrange and re enter what we had already put in. We were told it can be used for custom builds when actually it didnt work for that > > it was ok, and would be great for a low volume company with cookie cutter house builds. This will not work for huge volumes and customizations ----- Page: 1 / 101\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/70092/buildertrend?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/70092/buildertrend) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
