Difficult to integrate, mainly due to user experience.

Builterra
Kommentare: As a user of Builterra, it has saved me time and effort compared to doing work manually.
Vorteile:
Builterra is a very useful software that can be used via laptop, phone, or tablet. Daily inspections and weekly quantities of site work can be conducted through this platform which makes it easier than older methods such as Microsoft Word or Excel.
Nachteile:
The software runs slow on laptops sometimes as the server is huge. Some data takes time to enter but they are still being developed to better aid the contract administrators.
Need more work
Kommentare: Good
Vorteile:
Pretty good and helpful but need to be improved in layout and features such as simplify copying repetitive items , getting summary , search features , field test page is need to improved a lot , add more pull down menu for similar items then it will help to shorten time consuming with report
Nachteile:
Mobile application must be improved a lot , Layout is not attractive , crashing many times , Not versatile

Hi Eesan, thanks for the review. We have many options to handle copy and repeat of data within the app. Data entry templates, cascading lookup, copy from past inspections to name a few. Please review the Builterra Training portal using the web link https://portal.builterra.com/Training to assit with more advanced data entry using the app. Also, if training is required reach out to support@builterra.com to walk you through the copy past data options. The App interface will be going through changes in Fall 2021 with include room for more data collection options ...so patience is appreciated!
Great concept, needs some work.
Vorteile:
The connectivity of data is a great idea. Having every aspect of tendering and inspection linked together in one software, from the actual issuing of tenders through to payment certificates is a great idea. The inspection portion of the software (app) is great, and the geolocation and captioning of photos works well. Having everything cloud-based is helpful to mitigate loss of data and keep all data in a central location.
Nachteile:
The user interface requires improvement to be easily usable and easier to comprehend for users that are not very acquainted with the software. Navigating through the various aspects of creating a tender, and how the connectivity works between tendering, historical costing, inspection, and payment certificates is not intuitive enough for new users to easily comprehend. The many layers of data entry leaves room for data to be entered incorrectly into the wrong location which renders the data meaningless. Users need to spend significant time acquainting themselves with the software and data input and usage methods before it can become useful. Usage of the app (on android) resulted in many errors and bugs which, though were resolved, resulted in time and data loss.

Adam, We're truly grateful you took the time to detail your experience with Builterra to date. Firstly, we're happy to hear you believe in the concept and have had great success with your field inspection workflows, particularly the geolocation and captioning of photos. We agree that the tender configuration & navigation can be confusing for new users and in the short term, are aiming to provide video tutorials to ensure users are aware of the relationships and links in the tendering system, inspection and progress payment system. We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the Android app. We are pleased to report that the app is going through a significant re-work this Fall which will result in a better user experience. Your feedback was well received and much appreciated. We'll be in touch with an invitation to join our Platform Advisory Council. Our sincere thanks, Team Builterra
Good Contract Administration Software
Kommentare: We utilize Builterra for the majority of Road, Water and Sewer projects. It takes a while to learn and gain the ability to navigate the software but the benefits of having all projects files managed on one functional platform make it very worthwhile.
Vorteile:
The ability to manage all of our projects throughout their lifecycle on one software platform is very efficient. Incorporating bid creation, tendering, contract administration and inspection together in a readable format is unique in the industry. Custom reporting options are extremely beneficial for our management systems and project tracking systems.
Nachteile:
The software works fairly well but sometimes it forces you to always start at the main project page instead. Some additional navigation buttons within the project management files would be beneficial. Some custom features that are unique to our organization should probably be "out of the box" features in future upgrades to Builterra.
Best platform for contract management
Vorteile:
The easy way to write and submit the inspection report, payment certificates, estimate and most of the contract administration work are breeze to do
Nachteile:
Absolutely nothing that I don't like about the product. Though there can be some improvement in testing side before the product rolls out to avoid any miscalculation in projects

Review of Field App, not Desktop Software
Kommentare:
The field app ought to be a simple as a calendar. Open project, open day, input notes about day. Thats it. What has been provided is extremely time consuming to use and fumbley. It will not last as the field tool for COB.
The menu icon is a "submit" icon, not a menu icon in the iphone app. This obvious error has never been fixed, despite the feedback. This makes it confusing to use for new users.
Vorteile:
The quantity input portion is the only feature of the field app I find useful.
Nachteile:
The field App is not user-friendly. I'd need to include an attachment to explain all of the issues and how they could be improved upon. It feels like a data collection app, when it simply a place to write notes and input measurements.

Hi Jason, Thanks for the review. Please send the complete list to jlyons@builterra.com and we can arrange to meet with you directly. The app uses sub-tables to collect multiple remarks throughout the day...so the idea of a single Page with 1 comment can be configured easily. If you don't need other sub-table like Labour and Equipment etc.. then no problem. This would make it simple for you. We could have a Remarks Table and that's it...and still have the quantity data collection table for you...I suggest we add this and get your comments to verify that it's more usable to you. As far as the ICON style, we develop for both iOS and Android. The SUBMIT icon is subject to the 3rd party Xamarin development kit we use. I will discuss with development about another method to "Submit" the data...sorry for confusion, this is good to know that ICON style does make a difference.
It's... OK
Kommentare: Seems fairly easy to navigate once you get used to where everything is at.
Vorteile:
I like the fact that it encompasses all our documents into one platform that can be accessed by our smart phones. Also, everything within the app has drop downs that allow you to find documents fairly easy.
Nachteile:
The only thing I don't like is the how the documents are setup in Builterra, but that's not the fault of the platform, but those who created the document.
Great Platform
Kommentare: Overall Builterra is a great platform to create and document daily reports and make it easier to track quantities and generate payment certificates;
Vorteile:
Uploading photos with location tags into daily reports and keeping the track of the quantities executed onsite
Nachteile:
That I need high speed internet to upload photos of high resolution, and when uploading these photos at the internet availability point, the pictures are tagged where the internet location is and not where it was taken on the job site. e.g. tags the location of the office and not the job site.
Best product in the Market
Kommentare: overall, i am really satisfied with this software and will continue to use it.
Vorteile:
I really liked how user friendly the software is. Any age or computer skills person can use this software with any problems.
Nachteile:
the software is a bit slow to reload and response.

Inspectors need this!
Kommentare: I've enjoy using the software overall. Hopefully they improve the UI at some point.
Vorteile:
I like that this has taken us from paper to digital copies of our inspections reports. It also helps me stay incredibly organized.
Nachteile:
It can be complicated to use at first. However once you learn the steps, it's not that bad. The software could also use some sprucing up. The UI isn't visually appealing and lacks gesture support for iOS.
Not helpful
Kommentare: It’s not helpful to those in the field and is solely for the benefit of the office staff. I find it actually creates work for me and doesn’t speed things up at all. I only use this product because I have to. It’s horrible and I wouldn’t recommend it!
Vorteile:
I don’t like any features of the software
Nachteile:
It’s slow, the pictures take forever to load to the point I stopped using it.

Hi Landon, Sorry to hear about your challenges with Builterra Mobile App. We will setup a meeting or field visit with you and your field manager s soon as possible to get to the bottom of the issues experienced.
Review May 16, 2021
Kommentare: My overall experience as I have been using the platform for more than 3 years is very good
Vorteile:
being user-friendly, easy to input all data
Nachteile:
Probably defining templates could be better introduced to the platform
Useful for Site Inspections
Vorteile:
Using Builterra on our tablets and phones on site was very useful for writing speedy inspections. We mainly used Builterra on our mobiles for taking pictures and tracking locations.
Nachteile:
Sometimes WORD reports and PDFs wouldn't get generated properly, but after contacting Builterra staff it would be resolved promptly.
Great value
Kommentare: my experience has been positive.
Vorteile:
This is daily use software that cuts down on paperwork
Nachteile:
Sometimes the mobile app takes time to get use to
Getting started with Builterra
Kommentare: It's been a learning experience, as it is with all new endeavors. However I feel with a little more time this will be a very useful tool.
Vorteile:
I am impressed with the thoroughness and how everything can be tied together, "one stop shop".
Nachteile:
It's not that I dislike any of the options, it is more to do with getting used to the program. I have run into situations that do not completely line up with how the training is set up, so it takes some guess work to figure it out.
Builterra
Vorteile:
The fact that most of the items are picked up app automatically such as location, weather and edits the placement of the photos.
Nachteile:
Every time you write a activity or observation you have to hit the submit button and to edit it you need to go to review mode. It would be easier to add numbers on table for construction members and equipment used rather than selecting once by one. When you take a photo some times it gets deleted and you will have to retake it. When manually a photo is added it adds a default stamp which is incorrect. Contractor has to be written every time you edit the report. When publishing in pfd for example if you have tree photos the stamp of the photo will show on the next page. Adobe files are very heavy when directly publish as pdf. No weekly set up
Good but not Great
Vorteile:
I like the mobile access and the ability for the field to provide live updates
Nachteile:
Its inefficient to edit data on the webpage and there's not enough options to customize user settings.

Thanks Kristen, We can meet with you and the T2 Builterra Manager to review best practices for website editing. Possibly look at simplifying the data entry requirements, paging options and lookup lists which are configured by your system admin.
Reports for Inspector
Kommentare: Helps keep projects organized, and easy to access.
Vorteile:
The product was easy to use, helps make projects organized and easy to access reports from other projects. It was convenient to be able to complete reports on site with the mobile app.
Nachteile:
Most team members, myself included prefer using the browser version of Builterra, instead of the mobile version.
Review of Builterra
Vorteile:
Desktop interface is user friendly. Easy generation of quantity summaries.
Nachteile:
App use-ability could be improved. Field inspectors tend to use desktop application instead of app.

Convenience of using the web based service and tracking the daily notes

The android app is not designed user friendly and need modification
Better than others

It offers so many features. Reports look professional and organized. It’s easy to use and learn. It saves everything itself even if you forget to save your work.Builterra is a must try.
Nachteile:
So far my experience with Builterra is good. The only thing I don’t like is, it’s missing ‘back’ button. But everything else is perfect.

Subsurface Utility Reports
Vorteile:
While filling out the report in the field, what I like most about this mobile app is the location setting. If you are filling out multiple or numerous reports on one project, at each location you would hit the "Location" tab and would ping you in on a map at that exact location.
Nachteile:
As the users are taking photos to add to the reports, sometimes the photos do not show up on the Portal, so I have to ask the user 3 days down the road to click on that report and re-sync it and then it would come through.
Great solution!
Kommentare: I like it and now depending on it for our daily reports and progress payments.
Vorteile:
It does the trick and great value for the money.
Nachteile:
difficult to create additional and / or customized reports.
Builterra from a Home Builder Perspective
Vorteile:
We primarily used Builterra to monitor and track site progress
Nachteile:
Automated emails when certain dates or tasks are achieved.
