A Must-Have for Professionals
Comentários: Since using PowerPoint, I have noticed a significant change and the way I am viewed within my organization. My peers and superiors have both noticed how confident I am while conducting quality presentations, and for that I have PowerPoint to thank.
Vantagens:
I love that PowerPoint has several options when it comes to slide design. Presentations can be very bland, so adding a design that's aesthetically pleasing is extremely helpful when I'm trying to grab the attention of my peers and superiors.
Desvantagens:
I have not had any bad experiences with PowerPoint.

Easy to use - some features needed.
Comentários: What started as a cold call has made my entire job easier. The site is used company wide and has made bidding projects exponentially easier.
Vantagens:
Ease of use and customer service are second to none.
Desvantagens:
We need a deeper level of customization when it comes to RFI and other document management.
Practically a file share with a few extra functions
Vantagens:
-Upload speeds are fast -ability to organize contractors is helpful -one stop shop for emailing helps with mass solicitations
Desvantagens:
-Interface is very basic -Organizing and moving files is very difficult. Once you upload files its nearly impossible to move them 10 folders up -Navigation to add subs after bids are sent is difficult
Worth the Try
Comentários: I don't mind working with it because it's easy to use, for me personally I would rather use it when needed, I would rather have another project administration website. Just because I can't edit much on it, It has what it has and you have to work with it. There's no area to add links, nowhere to add files and stuff like that.
Vantagens:
I mostly like that it has an easy to use interface, easy on the eye, simple, you get a personal agent to help with any doubts and suggestions you might have.
Desvantagens:
That it has limited options to add additional features or additional links, you can't really edit much.

Building Connected Rocks
Comentários: Love it makes my life easier
Vantagens:
The ease of use and the ability to manage large amounts of information with ease. The projects run threw Building Connected are streamlined and increase productivity overall.
Desvantagens:
Not having the ability to edit contacts information in our data base with out having the user to log in and confirm the edits some times our subs are not tech savy enough to log in.

Building Connected has increased our business
Comentários: We started using BC in 2018 and more than doubled our revenue the following year. Add BC was a large contributor to that success.
Vantagens:
Easiest and best way we have found to send and track bid invitations to a targeted recipient.
Desvantagens:
There are no enough key work options in the bid package to cover all of the bid I need.
So easy to use!
Vantagens:
I like how user friendly it is. I also really like that each user controls their account but if I notice it's not up to date, I can make a suggestion. Crowd sharing is brilliant!
Desvantagens:
I would like to make comments for a particular company which can only be seen internally but without actually rating them. Right now, to make a comment, you have to rate them from 1-5 stars. But sometimes I need a comment about the contacts at a company, etc.
User Friendly Software
Vantagens:
easy to use, user friendly, simple, the bid-form section is awesome!!
Desvantagens:
would be great if they had an RFI section to use like Procore has.
Favorable Review of Building Connected
Comentários: Very Good. Customer support is outstanding!
Vantagens:
Helps find subcontractors and Suppliers in new areas
Desvantagens:
Convincing our subs to submit their proposals through Building Connected
Definitely recommend it
Comentários: Being able to access subcontractor information, the bids, bid levelling - all of the tools make the bidding process much smoother and in one place.
Vantagens:
The ease of finding all the bidding information in one place and user-friendliness of the website makes this a very helpful tool for bidding process.
Desvantagens:
The directory functionality needs some work.
Great Bid Platform!
Comentários: The software takeoff has made estimating quantities faster than compiling quantities with a paper copy and a ruler. The accuracy of the takeoff is likely increased due to the accuracy of the software versus the human error factor involved with hand figuring quantities.
Vantagens:
I really like that the software compiles many projects into one central location to make it easy to find project information and to check bid dates and addendum information in one general area. This software integrated into our existing platform with ease making it much more likely that we will continue to use the software.
Desvantagens:
I would really like to see a better system of notifying subcontractors of their bid status on particular projects. It would be nice if they could be informed right away upon project award instead of needing to reach out to the winning general contractor to determine which subs they will go with.
Excellent Platform to use for reaching out to Subcontractors
Comentários: We can view how many times a sub we have reached out to for bidding has provided us with proposals, declined or accepted our invitations, the ease of being able to see a subs prequalification status, and just the overall information BC provides us from bid leveling to the use of PlanGrid, TradeTapp, Box, etc.
Vantagens:
Since I utilize BC on a daily basis, I truly enjoy the ease of creating projects, building bid packages, sending out notifications to all at once or individually, how you can make notes in BC about your conversations with different subs, add tags, add favorites, how things are time stamped and dated, how we can sync the files to Box, add subs for projects we have already published; all in all, it is an extremely easy program to work with.
Desvantagens:
The only drawback for me is the fact that we are not able to change any information for a subcontractor, for example, when I know that someone's email address is incorrect, I am not able to change it, we have to "Suggest an Edit" and type in what needs to be amended. However, we do not receive any notifications indicating that the "suggestions" we put through have been changed, accordingly.
Small Tweaks Would Be Nice!
Comentários: 98% positive. I do think a "live chat" feature would be nice though!
Vantagens:
I definitely love this software. Love the database and love the ease in adding new people to an invitation after it's already been publishes. I like having these things "at my fingertips" so to speak. I like it's ease in navigation - FOR THE MOST PART, THAT IS. I have indicted below what I did not like.Most of the time I think it's very user-friendly.
Desvantagens:
My only negatives are with regard to ease of use when it comes to navigating the site. It seems a little "clunky" sometimes that you have to go through the steps you do to get to certain areas from other areas.....meaning that I think it could be more streamlined to access companies or individuals when you are in one screen without having to get out of where you are and "re-navigate." This among other small switching back & forth situations and hiding columns that I'd like to see have the option of staying "static" or in-view, are just about the only things I'd change. One last thing: I'd also like to be able to add individuals to a company account (as a GC adding to a subcontractor account) - I say this because often the one person I want to invite is not on their account and I have to stop and call the company and ask them to add their person. This of course happens when subcontractors are not diligent enough with keeping up their accounts and I know is hard to track....just a suggestion.....Other than that I think it is a valuable tool and really enjoy using it.

Improves Efficiency!
Comentários: We have become more efficient in our bidding process, allowing us to increase our win percentage, increase our subcontractor coverage and to tackle more projects.
Vantagens:
This software is paramount is organizing and presenting critical bidding information, not only to our subs but also relaying that information back to our Estimating team. The software can be setup to accommodate different levels of detail, with individual projects, or individual bid packages for each project. Easily distribute and download critical project documents.
Desvantagens:
A few of our "outdated" subcontractors are hesitant to login and interact with the system.
Jack Grulke
Comentários: In our business, the more contractors we can get to submit a proposal, the more impressive is our presentation to the client. Our previous goal was to be able to present 3 proposals for each trade to the client. Now it is not unusual to have as many 10 -- or more! Many of these have been sourced from your service. Keep up the good work. Our annual subscription fee to you is well worth the money.
Vantagens:
We get many new contractors from your lists. They are mostly, if not always competent in attendance, professional in attitude and proficient in quality. As we are licensed in all 50 states, we frequently call these new trade partners for repeat contracts in their local markets. Your connections are invaluable in smaller markets where we have not worked before.
Desvantagens:
Sometimes the listed trades are incorrect. For example, often a contractor will be listed as "Gypsum" and upon calling, we find they are carpenters and don't do gypsum at all. Also contractors will listed as doing multiple trades that they do not do.

Ron Wright Inc
Comentários: Team members can decide on what to bid without meeting at the same time.
Vantagens:
The organization of the bid list by due date is great. It's important sometimes to search an archived project. Huge time saver having a dedicated email auto populating the bid list and auto populating some of the project information. The bid form notification of being read is great to have reassurance that the proposal was received. The comment section is great for notes to other team members.
Desvantagens:
The planhub invites not auto populating client information is frustrating. The split screen on the bid board is useful or needed, split screen with limited views of both screens. One screen with all the info would be more useful. When you need more info you open the project. The right hand screen is not used.
Plus & Delta
Vantagens:
General ease of use. Easy to sign folks up and get them started quickly. Customer service is also very helpful.
Desvantagens:
Not enough reports available and not a great printout. I wish there were more report options that were more easily accessed. I would like to quickly run a full report on a particular sub - general contact info, projects they have been invited to, if they replied, if they bid, etc. A quick snapshot of the company as a whole. Also, the management of contact data is terrible. There are lots of flagged contacts and they aren't resolved by BC. Often, the admin of the company is the one no longer there and then nobody can make the edit.
Alternativas consideradas anteriormente:
Possibly the best Bid Invitation Software available.
Comentários: We wanted a bid invitation solution that our subcontractors liked, were familiar with, and we wanted a long term partner. So far the relationship with BC has been great. I wish the pricing was a little lower and more comparable to other softwares out there as that would allow me to not have to review other competitor products upon renewal.
Vantagens:
The user-friendly interface allows us to issue bid invitations in a matter of minutes.
Desvantagens:
I dislike that you have to use the software to obtain quotes. I wish direct emails were possible without having to go through the web.
Love this program!
Comentários: If your looking for Construction Software call these guys and take it for a test drive, you wont be sorry and your subcontractors will love it.
Vantagens:
Building Connected is the best software out there for me getting my bid invites and access to plans and specs. It so easy to use and everything you need a click away. Contractors that are using this software can send bid invites and access to the plans right to my account. I'm using their Opportunity Manager also, I just forward my bid invites from Contractors who are not using Building Connected to this program and it puts it in order by bid date automatically , much better than me trying to organize my outlook. Another thing about this software when you download plans its way faster than it competition.
Desvantagens:
Once in awhile I will have to go in and manually put in the bid date on certain bid invites that I have forwarded to the Opportunity Manager.
Great estimating/bid tool for contractors
Comentários: This software helps me, the subcontractor, get what I need from the contractor with little to no issue. Everything that the contractor needs me to have is placed right there in front of me.
Vantagens:
It gives the subcontractor a smooth process in obtaining the contract documents for a project. The contractor has the ability to upload and list all required information. The user interface is very easy to use and everything is straight forward.
Desvantagens:
There isn't much not to like. I do wish that there was a folder style download system so that single sheets could be downloaded if necessary.
GC Use
Comentários: Overall we find BC to be extremely efficient for our company. We use it daily, bidding 4-5 jobs weekly.
Vantagens:
We utilize the search feature a lot when searching for new sub-contractors to work with, especially in specialty trades we don't often use. I find Building Connected's interface to be extremely user friendly.
Desvantagens:
The only thing I dislike about Building Connected is the inability to delete bid packages on your own. Right now you have to reach out to support for them to delete it. I will say they are quick to respond, I just wish I could do it and save the time.

Customer Review
Comentários: Easier document control for us to share information with our subs and vendors. Program has helped us be more efficient. Does take some "coaching" of our subs and vendors to utilize BC in responding to our invites.
Vantagens:
The program is easy to manage project documentation and communication with vendors and subcontractors.
Desvantagens:
Due to the quantity of Building Connected invites/messages received by our subs and vendors it is hard for some to differentiate our ITB's from other ITB's.
Bid Management
Comentários: Time saving and reduction on number of emails to bid coordinator.
Vantagens:
The bid management software is very easy to use across multiple users and makes it easy to assign jobs and have multiple viewers of documents and quotes while still assigning the project to one person. This has cut down on the emails cluttering my inbox and if very effective and time-saving.
Desvantagens:
I think some of the data capturing and statistics functions need to be improved, at least we have not found reports that are as useful to us in the construction business where we don't always hear results on our bids right away.
Building Connected is Unmatched
Comentários: The experience has been excellent and without frustration, in addition, the building connected staff is extremely attentive to all needs and does not hesitate to solve issues immediately.
Vantagens:
Highly recommend Building Connected for its intuitive ease of use and the simple integration into a construction company's arsenal of estimating software.
Desvantagens:
Minor adjustments regarding the process and meaning of non disclosure agreements has to be carefully monitored.
Better than most
Comentários: Very practical software to use, almost critical in my role
Vantagens:
Ease of use, having all subs in one place to communicate to, documentation/file sharing
Desvantagens:
Bid leveling feature, subcontractors pricing are not apple to apple 99% of the time, so leveling tool needs improvement
