Planhub Review for Preconstructuion
Kommentare: Planhub has been useful in capturing projects across the nation from $200k to $3.5 Million and everything in between.
Vorteile:
Planhub is useful tool whether your are bidding on a local project (example D.M.V.) or out of state. We get to meet tons of new sub contractors to help us win bids. It's easy to setup project whether it is union/non-union, phased/regular hours etc...
Nachteile:
There should be a way to view local subs that have viewed the projects when searching for people who have downloaded the project files.

User Review
Kommentare: Overall, for the price you might as well have Planhub. It is an additional tool to use that is extremely affordable no strings attached. We are happy with our software.
Vorteile:
The software integrates well with how our sales and development team already function. It is similar to over lead generation and organizational tools we use so there was almost no learning curve.
Nachteile:
Sometimes when we click on an invitation to bid on an email it doesn't transfer us directly to the project info on planhub.com instead it will take us to our main login page and we will need to find it through there.

Horrible company with even worse sales people
Kommentare: When we first started using planhub, it was a useful tool. General contractors paid to use the service to get bids from subcontractors for their projects. We subs already work for free in the hopes that the GCs we're bidding to win the job, AND that they choose us - in the world of estimating, we are at the most distinct disadvantage in the equation. Everyone knows this. Then planhub went on a rampage trying to monopolize the market, buying up competing and complementary services. Now planhub charges subs thousands of dollars to be able to download plans for the ITBs the GCs send us. So for us, planhub has become a notification system that a job is out there. It's less expensive to do a few minutes of research and reach out to the GC directly. The market is ripe for a revolution. Everywhere I go, people complain about planhub. I'm eager to see what emerges to disrupt their rent-seeking.
Vorteile:
There is literally nothing we like about planhub. The only thing it is good for is letting you know a job is bidding. It's like the worst and most obtrusive notification system on the planet.
Nachteile:
Their monopolistic rent-seeking behavior. Their exorbitant paywall. Their unethical and retaliatory sales reps (actually had one threaten me for asking her to stop calling our office multiple times a day).
Tile Contractror
Kommentare: Overall, we like the information the product provides and look forward to seeing how the product grows over the coming months and years.
Vorteile:
The software not only provides bid invites, but shows if there are multiple contractors bidding the projects, and also provides updates as to the status of the project. If its still bidding or has been awarded. They also provide a breakdown of what subcontractors are needed for each project. Like we mainly do stone and tile work so spending time downloading and looking threw drawings on a project to s see its only VCT or LVT flooring is time spent, that we don't anymore since Planhub provides us with the information upfront.
Nachteile:
The product is still new so there is a bigger coverage of jobs by the other companies but that is improving each week as more and more companies begin to post on this site.

Information access
Kommentare:
Very helpful when you find the job listed, that you are working on.
Sometimes, there are GC's bidding that you did not have on your list, you find them on Planhub.
Vorteile:
Usually list all the GC's bidding on a project, as well as the plan documents.
Nachteile:
You can not type in a job name and perform a search for a particular job. You have to go through the list page by page to find the job you are looking for.
Antwort von PlanHub

Thanks for the great feedback and thank you for using PlanHub. The ability to search for projects by name is a little tricky if not spelled exactly as the project is posted. We deal with the same issue internally. Fortunately we are currently working on a major update which will have an improved search feature similar to how Google's search works. Even if you spell a name incorrectly it should generate close matches. The update is scheduled to be released early 2020.

Planhub Review
Kommentare: I save time. In my industry time is a huge factor. I can create a new project in your system in less than 5 minutes. If ever I have a question or issue I call the customer service rep and she walks me through. I appreciate the amount of subs that use it and sends me quotes through the site.
Vorteile:
The easy steps of inputting a job How quickly I can find subs How my representative is always available to help if/when I need her
Nachteile:
Only one thing I wish you could provide that is a report of subcontractors for my area with email addresses

Plan Hub IS NOT FREE to subcontractors asking to bid on GC projects
Kommentare: All they want is me to sign up and pay to quote on the invitations to bid I receive.
Vorteile:
Easy to use if you can get in without paying their enormous fee!
Nachteile:
It cost money to bid on jobs I've been invited to bid on by the GC's.

Very Decent - Could be better
Kommentare: I would continue to use Planhub, but the best pricing still does not come from here. If they could get those guys involved, it would be my go to.
Vorteile:
Organization of bids, many subcontractors are on board.
Nachteile:
Some items should be hyperlinks and they are not. Trying to get to a company shouldn't take as long as it does. Ease of use should be a focus. It takes too long to set up a project. Instead of having one long list of scopes to check off, it should be selecting a division and a drop down menu or something should come out and select from there. As it should be comprehensive, the speed and ease is what will separate it from others. I get too many calls from subs saying their subscription ran out and I need to send them the drawings. A different style of payment options should be considered.

Review for Planhub
Kommentare: I was not happy, I couldn't land one job, all concrete jobs seemed very small, and most GC contractors had already won the job but shopping the project all over again and again and after a while seemed like they were not serious or professional at all.
Vorteile:
Easy to use somewhat, but had a variety of project per region
Nachteile:
Didn't have the project types I was looking for.
Quick and Easy
Kommentare: It is a fast way to get the project out to a larger group of subcontractors, but it is very hard to "work" a project through Plan Hub. There is currently no easy way to see a subs email address and enter a note on the project about what you did (i.e. - called and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] said he is bidding but will submit late.) We also want to be able to see how far away from the project a sub is located (how many miles away are they)
Vorteile:
It is a fast way to get a project posted to subcontractors
Nachteile:
You have no control over what subcontractors it goes to if you want to use the public database. The trade categories to pick trades from is not great - some areas are too detailed and some are too narrow or not there.

Not Satisfied
Kommentare: I am not real please with the product I am paying for. Strongly considering dropping this product.
Vorteile:
availability of plans and contact availability of prospective GC's
Nachteile:
Everything I try to do has a 3 to 6 second delay every time I click my mouse. I didn't have that problem before PlanHub bought it from my previous provider. I used to get updates daily as to who(GC) was awarded the project. I no longer receive that information. I have other things I don't like about it either, but It would take to long to discuss.

Great platform for bidding projects!
Kommentare: With this platform we can get our proposal out in a timely manner. It’s great to have a platform that has everything linked together. Easy of use just makes bidding a joy.
Vorteile:
I love the ease of use with this platform. It’s very self-explanatory. I get a bulk of my leads from the emails. that come out. There is nothing better than be able to use a platform and everything works. The downloads work flawlessly. All the main information for the contractors is easy to access.
Nachteile:
There is only one thing I don't like. It may be on the upgraded accounts. I would like to see the contractor email address above the telephone number for the contractor.

A Great Portal to Expand Our Reach
Kommentare: Overall it's been very good. It took a little bit of time to refine our criteria for the best opportunities, but since then it's been an invaluable resource.
Vorteile:
The ability to communicate and get access to others within our area that we weren't otherwise aware of. Plus the ease of use make it simple for all to use.
Nachteile:
When using on a mobile device it is not user friendly.

Thanks for the positive feedback and thanks for using PlanHub! We agree with you regarding the mobile version and we are working hard to improve it. Currently we are developing PlanHub 2.0 which in addition to new features, it will be completely mobile responsive. The new version should be rolled out early 2020 and we are anxiously awaiting its release.
Where do I begin...
Kommentare: The nice thing about this is that since this is free to use (for most subcontractors) the subcontractor database is rather large. It's helpful for obtaining more coverage for hard bid and negotiated projects.
Vorteile:
I like that there's a wide variety of subs to access and reach out to.
Nachteile:
Lack of ease of use; efficiency issues; does not have functionality to save category selections as templates; doesn't save or show history of "Post Update" notes so it's difficult to keep track of what's been communicated and when. Activity and Status Tracking: It would be very helpful to be able to "print" or download selected subcontractor lists as CSV files ( with Columns for Company Name, TRADE or Division, Contact Name, Contact E-mail, Contact Phone Number) rather than as a PDF document.

Hello Irina, thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you had such a frustrating experience, but we really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. We'll strive to do better.
Beware subcontractors - your quotes are on public display
Kommentare: The customer service was terrible. Their solution to my issue was for me to change our standard operating procedure instead of offering some kind of interest or resolution to my concerns. When a paying customer tells you about an problem that is going to keep them from renewing their subscription, the best customer service approach is to try to change the software to add a feature dealing with this issue. Planhub asked us to make a change to find a way around our concern. I am not going to pay for a service that is giving away our pricing to anyone that signs up and I'm sure many other subcontractors would feel the same way.
Vorteile:
This software is very easy to use without any kind of tutorial needed.
Nachteile:
Our quotes on Planhub are viewable to any contractor that connects to a project. We are selective about who is allowed to know our pricing for 2 reasons: we only work with select contractors and we would like to keep our pricing out of the hands of our competition. When I talked to customer service about this privacy issue I was asked to change how I quoted projects instead of given an actual solution from the developers .

Plan Hub Experience
Kommentare: The plan hub plateform is easy to use. The difficulty is the users and how they setup their projects.
Vorteile:
This project is simple to use and easy to navigate to your project.
Nachteile:
The way project files are listed in projects make looking through documents difficult. Files are not organized alphabetically or numerically. You can also get download issues on documents.
Antwort von PlanHub
vor 5 Jahren
Thanks for the feedback and thank you for using PlanHub. We understand the frustration with files not being organized. 95% of the projects posted on PlanHub are posted by the GC themselves and they are sent out exactly as they are loaded. We are currently working on new updates to Planhub which will include an improved file organizer that will allow GCs to better categorize their files. In addition, we will also be introducing an on screen OCR reader that will allow you to search files using specific keywords, improving your estimating process. These updates are scheduled to be released early 2020.
Plan Hub Review
Kommentare: No issues with Plan Hub, we do get alot of Plan Hub Updates on projects. Not an issues but maybe there is a way to just send the updates to the folks that are bidding or have downloaded the plans.
Vorteile:
Ease of use, very user friendly. Contains almost all the project details you would need to know.
Nachteile:
Not much negative to say at this point, its a good system, just when you bid you are not sure how many others you are up against for the project.

Why pay this service when there are others that are free
Kommentare: Not good
Vorteile:
Contractors Network makes it easy to receive invites
Nachteile:
The fact they don’t allow you to download drawings even when you are invited by a GC, price is way to expensive we get many invites daily tru other services where we are not even a member and are allowed to download without any problem.This people is just greety.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Great platform to connect with quality GC's
Vorteile:
Simple, straight to the point, so far I h ave made at least 2 long term connections with GC's who feed us work.
