Our builder uses CoConstruct. I totally agree with A S - it has a lot of potential but it depends on everyone using it and entering information, which doesn’t always happen.

Have you visited the website of the Project Management Institute (PMI)?

If you're looking for project management software but not residential construction project management software then I suggest you're barking up the wrong IT!

Thank you A S and C W!

@Virgil Carter Fine Art @Charles Ross Homes Ironically my PMI membership has lapsed otherwise I would have asked there as I'm sure there are some construction PMs active, but I'm more interested in an end-user perspective and overall experiences when using construction PM software. So builders, architects and homeowners...

@User thank you so much for your reply. I agree that successful software is highly dependent on many factors - including size of the org using it.

It's interesting you mention design center selections, as I've also heard from smaller builders that having selections populated in software would be a huge time saver for them, as it takes a good chunk of time to review with homeowners. I would think having those selections pre-populated would save time but keeping it updated is another story...

Blast from the past! Thanks so much for bringing this top of mind @Gean Waiter!

I can definitely provide an update. I was working as a researcher for a client who was in fact a residential home builder (mid-size semi-custom, not a large tract developer). They felt there was a gap in the market for this type of software and had been working with a developer to build out a prototype. At the time I was doing a lot of market research on what was out there as far as competitors, what types of features end users wanted/needed, and if there was in fact a market for it - would builders and homeowners actually use this and find it beneficial?

In the end, the project didn't go anywhere, but it was super interesting to see the pain points and realize how far behind the construction industry is from a technology standpoint.

Is he? We used BuilderTrend and it was great

I haven't personally used CoConstruct, Buildertrend, or ProCore, but from what I've gathered, each has its unique strengths. CoConstruct and Buildertrend are often praised for their client interaction features, making them ideal for projects where communication is key.
