"Buildr... Closeout as you go!"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildr?

The ability to be compiling an active closeout documentation package for our teams using Buildr has been absolutely stellar. Each team is blown away by the ease of use, but mostly the countless hours reduced for creating project closeouts. Typically, it can take anywhere from a week to a few months of hunting down information and formatting it into an easily consumable format for the customer, but with Buildr, that process is down to a matter of hours. The end product is a beautifully linked document that takes no training for our clients to use. We are now using Buildr on all of our projects moving forward and we thank Caleb and his team for the continued direct support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

We had wished there was a way to segment out certain modules for export (in case a client only wanted to see RFIs. etc). The team over at Buildr heard our wish, and the techno-genies over there granted it within a week of discussion! The communication with their team has been absolutely stellar and their customer service is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Buildr?

Buildr notifies the subcontractors that they have documents they need to submit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

I would like to be able to send out multiple requirements to multiple subcontractors at once rather than individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buildr organizes Closeout and delivers value to our clients"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildr?

The way Buildr syncs with Procore to pull documents, vendors, and submittals in an organized way and then uses all of the information to create a completely offline, deep-hyperlinked PDF that is an all encompassing closeout package for our clients. It saves our people time and lessens the administrative burden. It's helpful to be able to track the status of document requests, see the conversations and feedback from our vendors within the platform, and have an overall view of where closeout stands for each project. Starting closeout at the beginning of the project, using Buildr, demonstrates the importance of setting of Procore correctly at the beginning to have a better closeout at the end, and project organization throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

Document request feature is helpful when collecting documents outside of or in addition to Procore. It could be improved by allowing the sender (us) the option to be cc'd on the e-mail as proof of delivery/sending. Sometimes vendors said they never received the requests from Buildr and we would like to be able to have the ability to see that we were on the e-mail and that it was sent to the right person and point them to the time it should have been received so we can tell them to check their spam and be confident that it was delivered.

"Prioritizing Efficiency Above Everything"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildr?

The collaboration efforts and efficiency of this software helps to create a seamless closeout package for our clients. Buildr has taken a very cumbersome task in Construction and streamlined the process. The connectivity between closeout and the warranty period creates an interactive one-stop shop for Clients and internal personal. We had been searching for a solution for a long time, and Buildr checks every box. All of our subcontractor partners have provided positive feedback as well. Turn around time on closeout packages have been greatly shortened which in turn helps us close out a project faster. We are saving time and efforts in this area of Construction and are now able to redirect our hard-work elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

The warranty template that we upload should attached to each document request email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Stellar Service Professional Closeout Manuals"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildr?

The team at BuildR is easy to get a hold of and takes the time to understand how you need things to work, what your team is asking for, and that you don't have unlimited time to make things happen. They will meet or exceed your expectations in terms, professionally sharing their timelines for improvements and taking your improvement suggestions into consideration and constantly moving forward. We have had very positive feedback from our owners who have received their closeout packets. This is the way to go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

With all tools, there is an upfront learning curve to use things to the highest level of success. The one tricky thing in BuildR is communicating the need for 7Zip (or a similar unzipper) to unzip the files. This is standard on most computer setups, but it is hard to explain to those users without a default program for this function. The BuildR team was available within an hour to meet and walk our owner through this on our behalf, and that was INCREDIBLE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Set-up and Delivery from a GC side is perfect. Subcontractors understand the system and know how to upload documents with ease.

Saves weeks;months of preparing and setting up closeout process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

Viewing is different from GC to Ownership & Subcontractors.

We have been having issues walking the Owners through the exported files understanding how to locate files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great closeout/warranty software"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildr?

It helps streamline the closeout documents into one easy portal. It helps track the warranty process of a project with a much simpler process than sending spreadsheets back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

I have seen some push back from architects/engineers that it doesn't break the O&M down to specification sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buildr has saved me countless hours and created a standard our clients appreciate."
5/5
What do you like best about Buildr?

I like how the PDF is generated with hyperlinks that can be emailed to the property manager at any time. I used to have to build this page by page. I also like the app that's an easy reference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

What I don't like is the inability for the client to take photos of issues from the app. Also, it' a little unintuitive to send issues to subcontractors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes collecting closeouts easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildr?

The team at Buildr has been incredible to work with from rollout to continued support after over a year of using the software. The software is user-friendly, the screens are laid out well, and allows our team to collect closeout materials in an effective and efficient manner. It also allows us to now turnover complete closeout packages in a streamlined, consistent method to our clients. Our team also appreciates the app integration with Procore as this allows us to automatically sync various tools, import the project directory, and the specifications, if applicable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

It is difficult for me identify dislikes with Buildr. If I have to choose, though, it is that if one of my teammates sets up the project, and ask for assistance, the emails via the system still send from the individual that set the project up. We are not able to switch that as of right now, so that can be confusing to our external partners we are trying to collect data from.

We also find that it would be helpful to have a direct upload of the final turnover package to Procore for our own Procore project completion records versus a large file download / upload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wonderful Program to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildr?

The ease of use. Easy to organize the Subcontractors. Like the way we can email the subs direct. The download at the end of a project works gret. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildr?

When you are emailing subs there is not a date so that when you go back to see when you sent out an email you have an idea of when it went out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
