50 BuilderMT Testimonials

“Driving down construction cycle times is key to any home building company, and ours is no different. It’s no secret that there are fixed costs to carrying a home under construction. Today, our cycle times average around 120 days, from a low of 90 to a high of 150 for custom homes. With Sales Simplicity and BuilderMT – especially with Builder Portal and dynamic scheduling – we have shaved, easily, two weeks off our schedules. The only thing holding us back from driving that down further is a lack of skilled labor.”

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

"Recently Robuck Homes decided to upgrade the servers to a complete new system. From the moment I submitted the ticket to the moment the ticket was closed Mr. Long helped every bit of the way, following up with me very promptly and answering any questions I had at any point in time. He started a remote session with me on the server and was able to complete the work in no time at all, installing the new builder MT and verifying the trade portal was functional. Through all of I do want to add that Build MT’s support center is one of the best support centers I have ever used. I have been working with Robuck Home’s IT division for almost 4 years now and I have had to contact support centers here and there placing in tickets getting half reply’s. Mr. Longs go getter attitude made the new install that much easier in the new transition. I just wanted to say thank you to Mr. Long as well as everyone else at Builder MT. Great customer support is one of the best things to have at a company and you guys know exactly what you’re doing when it comes to that."

"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."

"Roger – I just wanted to thank you again for the outstanding support you provided this past Friday supporting a new server install. Builder MT worked perfect! Another testament to the company BuilderMT is and the lengths you go to service your clients. Your time and effort were very much appreciated."

“With BuilderMT PlanServices™, we saw an immediate reduction in the turnaround time of our plan drafting and processing, and now we have no employees or other contractors working on our plans.”

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
