"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."
"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."
"When we set out to look at software, we subscribed to the ‘best of breed’ approach to software providers."
“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.”
"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."
"There were features and functions in BuilderMT’sWMS that we simply weren’t aware of, and once we got them activated-which didn’t take more than a week of work- we have dramatically more efficient operations. In fact, we are in a position to grow the company without adding any back-office staff."
"Sales Simplicity Software is a great product with a terrific team of people. The software is loaded with user-friendly features that streamline and greatly improve customer relationship management and the preparation of document packages. The Sales Simplicity implementation team was terrific, and they handled the entire software installation, leaving us free to focus on hands-on learning with the CRM and other tools before going live. Their on-site training program was stellar; all very well-organized and executed by veteran IT professionals. We are excited to have the software up and running in record time and ahead of schedule."
“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.”
“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."
"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."
“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.”
"Reference on Donna is easy: Donna Barden has been an awesome help to BBH in assisting with the formatting of profit reports and daily reports. Donna also assists us with year-end payroll, walking through each and every step. Without Donna’s assistance with some of our reports and year end, it would take us most likely double to triple the time for us to do it on our own, therefore saving the company money. Donna is always flexible when we have a delay and can’t make a meeting and works within our schedules. If Donna doesn’t know the answer, she gets back with us in a reasonable amount of time. Donna has also assisted other members of our teams on various tasks, and I have had nothing but great things said about her. We would, without hesitation, be honored to let any builder know how very capable she is."
"Builder MT offers the most comprehensive on-line help and training I have ever encountered from a software company. Builder MT’s customer service is off the charts. My IT consultant agrees. The combination of Purchasing and Scheduling with Trade Portal makes the managing of multiple projects with fewer Trade Partners possible, reducing build time and overhead."
“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.”
“We use Sales Simplicity for managing the sales cycle, and it offers a CRM and sales process automation. This is a cloud-based MiTek® software solution, and MiTek® has really stepped up to be a partner of ours in the optimization and integration of the Sales Simplicity toolset. I had the final say in how the software was configured to suit our organization and our processes.”
