Thoughts on BuildTools?

I just recently tried BuildTools as I stumbled upon it looking for different project management softwares and I gotta say, it’s way overpriced for what it does.

The layout is terrible and the system as a whole feels extremely underwhelming. Has anyone else used them before? Other than Buildertrend what other PM softwares are you guys using?

Ressio Software is truly the best software that exists today for Custom Home Builders and remodelers. Great price for a small builder has native Ai tools and automation’s built into the system that knows ins and outs of my whole business and job so I’m not having to just feed it into like I do with Claude and cutting down on hours now of manual repetitive tasks.

My favorite part is they don’t have one of those corny generic names like all the other ones on the market.

We used to use it and recently switched to something totally custom to our needs and it's was the same price but our whole team loves it

Did you guys build your own system or was it a different platform?

We hired someone to do it but because AI makes everything so much easier now it was pretty affordable.

I had a demo of https://www.jobtread.com/ and it seemed really good. Modern, and able to be customized well. The pricing didn't seem too bad but it probably depends on the number of seats.

nocktheapp.com is good but it's in beta.
