50 BuilderMT Testimonials

"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."

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 just finished up a support call with Donna and I must tell you how thankful I am for her. She is “A-1”, top-notch, just plain fantastic. Thank you for hiring and keeping the best employees during these most challenging times. Specifically, she solves my problems, with thoughtfulness, anticipating potential pitfalls, she looks forward to future possibilities and does this all with a very sweet and kind attitude. From a business/sales side of things, she is also sure to inform us of BuilderMT products that may be of use to us. Thank you again and we wish you and your team the best success as we seek to grow amid adversity."

“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.”

“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.”

“It has saved us a great deal of money already, Our cost for BPM was around $30,000, and we soon paid for the software platform with just this VPO process, and we have plans for several additional BPM processes in the works.”

"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."

“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."

“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.”
