"With BuilderMT as the core driving force, we can ensure that we are making the profits we want out of each and every one. That integration alone increases our option profitability by 20% over other systems, which I know is true because I’ve worked with other systems at other home building companies."
"We use Timberline, and BuilderMT Works excellent, Vendors love the web access, and ease of use once set up is great. Only one caveat this is production builder software, unless you have an on staff estimator, then it can easily be adapted for custom too. As a production though you can take from contract to Vendor priced, account loaded for approvals and PO delivered in about 15 min. We do it every day and the money to our bottom line shows the savings."
“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."
"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."
"When we set out to look at software, we subscribed to the ‘best of breed’ approach to software providers."
“We are pleased with our choice of solutions. I’ve been implementing and working with home building software solutions for 30 years, and there are always a few stumbling blocks when you’re setting up software to integrate and manage complicated processes. But with the BuilderMT-Sales Simplicity family of integrated solutions, the typical challenges had already been addressed leaving us to focus on our unique opportunities.”
“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.”
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
“I view my building business as having three basic phases, Phase One is pre-construction, permitting, plan approval and such, Phase Two is construction operations, and Phase Three is PostConstruction: Move-in and warranty, and anything we can do to drive for the best customer experience and referrals. BuilderMT handles every facet of Phase Two. So my pain points are Phases One and Three, and that’s where BPM comes in.”
“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.”
