50 BuilderMT Testimonials

"BuilderMT Bid Management along with Trade Portal has shortened our bid time by a week on our Production Homes and two weeks on our Semi-Custom Homes. I can literally bid out and entire home in three days, release for construction and have all my costs stored or updated in cost database during the bid process. I no longer have to track down trades to clarify bid items, everything comes to me apples for apples. I accept the trades costs and my budgets are built. And because we are short staffed due to the economy this has really helped us keep our Purchasing Dept. ahead of the game."

“At any time, using the integration between Sales Simplicity, BuilderMT, and Sage, we can run a real-time gross profit number for any start and really get an idea of where we are on the job’s progress.”

“Every one of the ’push’ technologies has a weakness, Faxes run out of paper, there is no one there to pick up the fax, e-mails get deleted or never delivered with e-mail filters and software issues, phone calls and voicemails aren’t heard and calls aren’t returned… the mail takes days to deliver and time to prepare or copy documents… those aren’t cheap or efficient technologies. We needed a tool that would always be there, always available in a secure environment that we control… not the US Postal Service or my drywall contractor’s cell phone or e-mail service. That’s why I’m an early adopter and big believer in the ‘pull’ technology of BuilderMT’s Trade Portal.”

"With over 25 years in the building industry and over half of that devoted to streamlining purchasing departments processes and procedures, BuilderMT is the best system in our industry. So much so, that when I started Builder Purchasing Services, it was the system I chose along with Timberline accounting. Its integration with Timberline has been a blessing for our builder clients that have Timberline accounting. We are able to integrate our information out of BuilderMT directly with their accounting system. It’s like they have a full service purchasing department in house without the cost of personnel or systems to do so. If they don’t have Timberline accounting, we are able to provide real time job cost management for them through our integrated systems. BuilderMT has an online VPO process that my clients can access from the field and directly integrate into BuilderMT. By utilizing this process, our builders never have their trades working without a purchase order and since it integrates into BuilderMT, the VPO’s are reflected into their budget upon submittal. This process eliminates surprises from Trades turning in invoices at a later date.I have used and/or looked into all of the systems mentioned in this discussion, but ultimately went with BuilderMT to run my company."

“What’s best is that these systems – BuilderMT, Sales Simplicity and Microsoft NAV – are all pre-integrated; they all talk to each other and data flows from one to the other as if were a single system.”

“We are really the last family-owned home builder in the area. We have been very creative and determined in our sales efforts, and we’ve diversified to keep our staff busy and to remain profitable. We’re even buying up some foreclosed homes to recondition them for rental units as a sideline, just to keep our staff in place and find profits wherever we can. But one thing is for sure, I know I have my software in order with BuilderMT, Sales Simplicity, and Sage, and I can confidently predict my costs and my profitability.That’s a huge part of the battle that we’ve already won. Now, we can do what we’re good at: Building quality homes and making customers happy.”

“Sage Timberline Accounting does not have the reporting that we need. Timberline uses a database from Pervasive Software, but our operations are in Microsoft SQL. To get the right reports, everything in Timberline has to be dumped out into a separate file and mined by a third party application, and that is very cumbersome and time consuming.”

“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.”

"Richard Boothman and the BuilderMT Plan Services group changed our business. We are now ahead of the curve with plan edits for our buyers. The turnaround time was a day, not weeks."

"I wanted to take a minute to tell you what a great support staff you have. Too many times all we hear is criticism; not enough people take the time to praise. Over the past couple of days I have worked with Rita and Kim in support. Their knowledge and patience is truly unparalleled. They took the time to answer my questions and solve my problems. I just thought you should know (I’m sure you do already) what terrific women you have on your team."

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 am fast to let folks know when I am less than pleased. Let me be just as fast to says a special thanks to Donna for answering her cell phone on Saturday and getting me connected with BMT support after our server hard drive went out and we completed the replacement. Top notch customer service."

"The most recent benefit we have seen from BuilderMT is that we were able to add 25 starts this year, without “ adding any more staff. That’s a 20% volume scale up, without the need for additional staff."

"We can now generate reports specific to customers and properties without having to sift through countless reports manually. We can handle requests in a more streamlined fashion – and our customers are happier."

"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."
