BP was our first CRM... easy to learn and use but also customizable at the same time. It wasn't perfect but user error was also part of the problem. We tried switching to another CRM but ultimately came back to appreciate BP as it is a well developed software backed with full integrations and helpful/ friendly customer support.

Pros

Full integration with Quickbooks. Estimating and Invoicing within the CRM. Mobile Friendly!! CompanyCam integration.

Cons

You'll be hard pressed to find an out-of-the-box CRM that has everything but Builder Prime comes closer than any other that we've tried. Our next most desirable integration would be with PandaDoc and possible SmartDocs.

Good System, lacks capability for end user on an individual level

Reviewed on 24/03/2023

Pros

Its great for overall management of leads and projects and tasks etc. Data has helped a lot and is only as good as the data you enter and how organized you are.

Cons

It only has the capability to be automated by the system administrator and can only be implemented company wide taking away the capability of the individual sales people using it for quoting and crm to actually automate personalized follow-up programs, messages, scripts, to dos and signatures less personalized depending on what piece of info or what selection of contract you decide to send. intigration with other softwares seems to be less than ideal and

Absolutely amazing, this was a game changer in so many ways. I handle a lot when it comes to our company and I have slowly been bringing on 3rd parties to handle lead generation and scheduling and it was a breeze for them to pick up. Any special feature requests that would pertain to our account can be submitted and then the BP team gets to work to make it happen. Customer service is unreal!

Pros

Very easy to learn and implement. Getting everything customized and then adding on the fly was simple.

Cons

employee or subcontractor clock in clock out. We tried this and attempted several times to make this function work with our hourly based sub contractors and employees but eventually removed everyone that has to clock in and clock off builder prime and are currently using the old fashion way.

The service has been great, [sensitive content hidden] our AM is the most responsive and kind AE we have ever worked with! She has helped us without complaint through our set up calls, a hundred emails, syncing QBO, and setting up payment capture.

Pros

I absolutely love all the features of this CRM. We went from having a different CRM, different payments solution, and tracking sales via excel to having it all in one place. But it is more than just having it in one place because many construction CRM's offer that. Builderprime has all these pieces working smoothly together and displays all the data in an easy to access readable format. If someone asked me 6 months ago to pull a report on deposits from sales from a week prior, or show me sales from a specific lead source, or outstanding payments on installations, I would have manually looked it up. Now it is the click of a button. It all syncs to Quickbooks which is very helpful for knowing our numbers. There is more to say but check it out for yourself.

Cons

My feedback for them has been to have a slightly different invoice appearance and have customer communication on the dashboard as an option.

Pros

The CRM is very easy to use & customizable. There are videos to teach you the CRM. The Account Manager provides training to owners & key personnel. They reply quickly whenever you have questions. Our subcontractors also enjoy using Builder Prime to submit bids.

Cons

There are a few features that need to be revised. However, the team at Builder Prime listens to your requests and will update future versions based on your feedback.

The Best CRM I’ve Worked With Yet

Reviewed on 13/07/2020

I’ve never been one to follow processes and procedure because of all the tedious steps it takes. Builder Prime handles most of those tasks freeing up my time to actually do the sales part of my job. I’ve got it to the point where updating is just scrolling and a couple of clicks through my templates and I’m done. The tasks are fantastic for follow ups and the automated reminders keep me on track. My followup sales have noticeably improved the system. I would recommend Builder Prime to anyone, from office administration to the CEO, looking to make their business streamline and more successful.

Pros

Everything I need is in front of me...LITERALLY. When I have to follow up with a potential customer, it’s such a convenience having everything at my fingertips. From the initial meeting to resulting the appointment to following up, this is the best CRM you could ask for. The customizable tasks and automated management make following up an absolute breeze.

Cons

Nothing really. Future upgrades making the system available offline would be the biggest plus.

It’s the only CRM that lets you input a manual price. Also only CRM that helps build how your contract and proposal forms. We are very happy with this software.

Pros

We have searched for a CRM that connected leads to proposals and contracts, had multiple projects per contact, lead source tracking, project sales pipeline and most importantly, the ability to customize the price after a proposal was built for 3 years and have finally found it. Top notch customer service means they tailored the proposal and contract documents to look exactly like the ones we’ve been using - even included custom inputs that are specific to our company. Our manager is in his fifties and he’s someone who loves doing things the old school way; he has adopted the software quickly and he loves it. We’re picky about software, we’ve stayed with our last system for 7 years because it’s not enough to switch for small improvements, because it’s “cool,” or just because it’s digital. Some parts of our company still utilize the old school way because that’s what works best in those contexts. We can see every lead so no one is falling through the cracks. Builder Prime allows us to build bids in 15 minutes, accept credit cards, sign in person or over email, order changes, track lead sources, and keep record of all proposals ever sent to the customer. If it isn’t obvious, we’re fans.

Cons

The only things missing are the things they’re already developing such as google calendar integration, additional email and communication features, and zappier integrations.

Response from Builder Prime

Hi Scott,

Thanks so much for the kind words! I am so happy that we can help you save time and make your processes more efficient! Actually the Google Calendar and Zapier integrations are available now. I will reach out to help you get those set up. Gmail integration coming soon :)

Fabulous. The customer service is excellent, the team is obviously passionate. I cannot say enough great things about this company.

Pros

All in one solution with ability to work seamlessly with additional softwares like Mail Chimp, Company Cam and more.

Cons

The ability to print all the reports would be great. Most of them print, but several must be edited in spreadsheet before printing because there are so many columns of data (which results in super tiny print) . An option to print 'select columns' would be helpful.

Really like and use the automations for tracking purposes, scheduling is easy and simple, program has lots of potential that we continue to learn about every day

Cons

I would really like to see the discount applied as a single line item rather than a percentage of the overall invoice. This is very confusing for clients to understand which means we spend time explaining the discount to them. Would also really like to be able to add attachments to any email sent not just certain ones- this can probably be done but I haven't figured it out in the configuration process yet. Lastly, being able to forward an email that has already been sent to the client by another team member would also be very beneficial.

Small Painting Contractor

Reviewed on 14/08/2023

Pros

My husband has owned a painting company for 30 years. He's employed 6 or less employees at any given time. Having started his company in the 80's, he has been using a yellow pad to operate his business on. When he asked me to work with him last year, I immediately set out to bring him in to the 21st Century. Builder Prime provided the tools to be able to do that. We are now organized and professional thanks to Builders Prime. The program walks you thru each step of the natural process and keeps track of each step. The program is extremely easy and the customer service has been top notch.

Cons

My biggest complaint is that you can’t send an automated e-mail or text a certain amount of time before a scheduled appointment, only a certain amount of time after. For example: I really want to be able to send an automated message the Friday before a job starts telling them what to expect and when we will be there and that the job is still on for the next week and I’m not able to do that. I really want to be able to automate that.
