Buildertrend for Android

Not worth investing time into this platform. You will spend hour and hours setting it up. And the when it crashed you can do it again. No thanks. Tech support will open a case for you. But they might as well send thoughts and prayers .

As an end user on the customer side, this app is awful. It’s slow, clunky, glitches constantly, and makes it very difficult to communicate with our builder. It seems it’s built for the builder (hence the name), but wow, if they used this once they would never convince the customer to use it.

In the change orders, there is no way to close / back out of the messages once the message is opened. Have to fully close the app and reopen.

When you go to write a comment on a job, you get stuck in the comment window that pops up and can’t back out. You have to close the app entirely and reopen it.

As of 2022, BuilderTREND does not have sales tax on their platform, and a proper system for credits they talk with QuickBooks needs considerable polishing and overhaul. That application is also complicated since the last update to create estimates as a new person coming in; this probably wouldn’t be a problem; however, for remodelers, this is a huge problem. I love everything else about BuilderTREND, but their lack of understanding of the remodeling space while inviting contractors into the room is very, very wrong. A voting system on projects to get updates is very lame and backward; however, it is a good platform for everything else, but when your financials cannot be accurate based on taxes calculated by ZIP Codes, it’s a huge problem when you have to face the IRS. Your accounting cannot get to your actual numbers.
