“Our experience working with the BuilderUX was extremely positive. We have the website up and running in eight weeks, and we had an absolutely positive experience with their team. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to be profiled by the company. I would rate the service as spectacular.”
"Builder MT is an amazing product and has everything you could ever need in a construction software system. Depending on the size of your company it may be more than you need. If I’m not mistaken, more Builders use Builder MT than all the other construction software companies combined so there is lots of support."
“That two to three hours per employee each week is time these folks can be using to focus on what we hired them to do, That’s time they can be selling houses or managing the building process to further reduce cycle time.”
"Previous manual method is that we would print plans and submit to trade. We would give them 3 days to get pricing back to us. Then about 1-2 day time frame to get pricing into the system. With the Bid Management program, it takes me only 20 minutes initially to set up a bid, attach documents to them publish to the bid. Our trades are required to get the bid back within 48 hours. If we accept their bid then it only take seconds to upload pricing. Factoring in all resources used, I would say about $2400 per bid in savings! And, it only took about 20 minutes to teach ourselves how to use the software. Because of our extensive use of the Trade Portal we require that all our trade partners have internet access. The people that have received bid requests have all responded positively. This saves them time and money also. We attach our plan documents in a dwf file and this way they don’t have to print plans either."
“We went with BuilderMT because they did have Wireless Scheduling on the BlackBerries with Nextel. So my superintendents can walk into a house and check off any phases being completed and we have realtime information updating our master schedule at all times."
"I use Builder MT and Timberline estimating for 575 housing starts per year. From cost entry to VPO’s and Purchase Orders, this system has integrated all of our processes into one streamlined process. With 3 divisions in 3 separate states, we have been able to use the same software with all accounting processes being handled at our corporate office. The ROI has been very impressive and I would recommend this software to anyone who wants to streamline processes and reduce overhead costs."
It’s one thing to talk about quality. It’s another thing to build your entire organization around it. And that’s exactly what we’ve done.”
“I wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I like the Phase Release and Supplier Contract parts of the BuilderMT WMS Purchasing Module. In this time of short staff, this has been a godsend. I am currently the only person in the Metropolitan Homes, purchasing department and must handle all responsibilities from bidding, negotiating, contracting, issuing and approving PO’s. We are in the process of actually starting a new community, and I was a little afraid of not having the time to bid the project, contract the Vendors, create the price data base, and issue PO’s quickly enough to fit our start schedule. The Phase Release and Supplier Contract has allowed me to enter my accepted bids, print a custom created Pricing Addendum form for my Vendor Contract, which automatically creates my cost data base, and allows me to send PO’s the same day! I’m no longer retyping bid numbers for contract documents, which has saved me so much time and aggravation. I don’t have to go through the creation of all of the estimates to pull and shove prices in and out. The process is clean and simple and I love it."
"Now, with the power of those models, and the data they contain, coupled with BIM Pipeline’s estimating capabilities, we will be able to process 680 starts with just three people in estimating and purchasing and two in drafting."
“Our variance purchase orders have dropped dramatically. Last month they were below 2%. Thing is, our goal was 3%.”
“Generation Homes recognizes that people need state of the art features and efficiency in a home that promotes old fashioned family security and a strong sense of community. We will not compromise on quality and service in any home we build. It is important to me that we build homes with high quality materials that promote lasting value and design neighborhoods that have a sense of place and stimulates neighborhood bonds.”
"Using the Workflow Management Suite, our scheduling is automated. We were able to take someone spending 80% of their time updating schedule and use them elsewhere in the company. This makes everyone’s job easier without costing the company any more money."
"We just wrapped up our training with Mike and we are now officially live. We have a ton more work to do, but we have come a long way in the past 90 days and are excited about the system. I wanted to let you know that Mike has been great. He is well organized and really knows his stuff. His calm demeanor is very helpful when dealing with stressed out students, breaking things down so we can understand it. Mike is a big asset to your organization. Have a great weekend."
"The result of our using Wireless Scheduling is that we have lopped easily 10 to 15 days off our cycle time, and perhaps more importantly, we are able to focus on quality control and not damage control. We are not expending lots of man hours trying to figure out where we are. We know where we are now, and we can focus on making better houses. As BuilderMT rolls out its Trade Portal in coming months, our trades and subs will all have the same visibility to the schedules, work orders, purchase orders, and even the status of payment."
“It’s an entirely automated and paperless process to buy one of our homes. We are especially attractive to Millennials and Gen-Zers. They want to buy digitally, so it’s more like shopping on Amazon when they buy from us. We want to take what can be a stressful process and make it easier for our customers. We are focused on listening to how our buyers want to buy verse telling them how to buy.”
