## Reviews

### "Hopeful for easy, one-stop project management" — 4.0/5

> **Elisabeth** | *18 December 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I am really looking forward to the 2nd version of this software for the project tracking and UI client management of information
> 
> **Cons**: The current features are not robust enough for me to get excited. As a small, but mighty organized group the functions don't provide enough management for what we are currently using

> **Rilee** | *9 March 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
>

> 
> **Cons**: Like any other app, there are bugs that cause some issues in the functionality but the Build Book team was super responsive and pushed out new updates very quickly.
> 
> I think our initial on boarding process overall went very well for us. Again, the BuildBook team was extremely responsive.
