CoConstruct

What do you like best?

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 fed back into the system while on site.

What do you dislike?

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 wasn't very flexible in aligning of how you might cost out a project.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

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.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

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.
