Overall its easy to navigate and they don't put a whole bunch of things that you will never use. They really do work hard to make it easy for us.
The App that comes along with it gets stuck on a screen or 2 but I am working on that with the UDA team.

This is the best new "toy" I've had in years. I feel like a kid in a candy store!
Commentaires : Saves time. Makes it easy to find stuff. Helps you stay organized. Keeps subs, vendors, owners, architects, vendors all on the same page.
Avantages :
I am a new user of this kind of software. A few months ago I did not even know that something like this existed. It has opened a whole new world for me and I am blown away by what this software can do. We demo'ed a few competing products before making a choice and it was the wide range of features at the most competitive price that sold us on ConstructionOnline. I especially like the messaging feature which is basically an email system dedicated to one specific project.
Inconvénients :
There is nothing I really dislike about ConstructionOnline, there are just some features I do not use as they do not meet my needs as a commercial general contractor. For example, I do not use Estimating and Change Orders as they seem to be less robust than some of the other software products. These features seem to be geared more towards the residential market. However, I realize it is hard to be everything for everyone. A feature, I think, that would be nice would be the ability to sign documents electronically. Maybe one can do it through Redline; if so, I have not been able to figure it out yet. As a general contractor one has to collect submittal packages from vendors and subcontractors, review them, and then attach a separate sheet to the package, that contains your stamp of approval/comments/signature on it, before you forward the submittal package on to the architect/engineer for review. On this submittal sheet there is space for the different reviewers to add their stamps as well. It would be nice if ConstructionOnline could generate this submittal sheet that you can attach to submittal packages sent to you. Currently, I generate the submittal sheet in another project management program, print it, place my stamp on it, sign it, scan it back into my computer, upload it to a pdf editor, add it to the submittal package file, and then upload the combined file to ConstructionOnline. It would be nice if you could do it all in ConstructionOnline.

Great product
Commentaires : Great!
Avantages :
Estimates and client invoicing are super easy to use
Inconvénients :
QBO synch, mobile app speed need a little work
Alternatives envisagées :
Almost, but missed the mark
Commentaires : Customer service is very helpful for the product they have. Unfortunately they miss on some pretty basis stuff. We have been told for over a year that development team is working on some of the basic fixes and still nothing changes.
Avantages :
Estimation portion is good. Job costing is fair.
Inconvénients :
It does not have the ability to provide clients with add/alternate pricing. Seems like a very basic feature that most construction companies are asked to provide. This one slipped by us through all the demo's and we have been frustrated for over a year with this. Have to manually do work arounds. Also we are a commercial construction company that does about 300 jobs a year. The software does not even have the ability to assign each project a job #. With as many jobs going on, we have to be able to cost every purchase and we do that using job #'s and PO#'s. We are manually assigning each job a number. These are just two of the larger misses on this software.

Review by owner/entrepreneur

Avantages :
It has all the features you need for running a mid-size construction company.
Inconvénients :
The learning curve is quite challenging, which makes it a tedious process to adopt and train employees.

Great product and customer service
Commentaires : They have been great to work with and always very helpful to educate us on using the system.
Avantages :
It keeps everyone in tune with the projects from sales to production.
Inconvénients :
Android style tablets are not great to use with the system for the estimating functions since an update was done a couple months ago.
JFL Plug Power Mechanical Engineering review
Commentaires : Overall it's a great software. I have used countless apps and software that detail site information. I think the user interface is fantastic in my opinion, one of the best if not the best. I don't know how the project score works but I'm going to get more familiar. I think just doing this review has opened my world up to all these other tools that I will be using.
Avantages :
The individual who designed the site interface did a great job. The weather and latest project activity are items that I'll now open when speaking to the engineer at site. In doing this review, I found out that I can see the address of the site, which sounds simple, but is INCREDIBLY useful. If one can imagine, I am looking for a site in 2015, and there are 8 buildings owned by the same major company. It takes me say, 10-15 min finding on google maps where the site exactly is, and even then sometimes it's unclear. Using this site already saved my 2 hours just with that simple application on the main user screen while I was doing this review.
Inconvénients :
I think I'd like to have a "Read Me" about each particular site so that I understand what the mindset is of the individual onsite. As an example, a read me note would detail "Raymond Furr will be at site on Monday's and Fridays doing XYZ check, and uploading pictures as the equipment is installed. Feel free to upload site pictures if you have visited the site, or were sent by another party, but understand that I will review the images and may remove if aren't associated with site". This would be similar to "Jobsite Instructions", but it would be to a different audience, mainly to those who aren't on site and need/provide digital information
Long Term Users
Commentaires : We have used the program for over 12 years and there have been many enhancements that we feel help us in running our projects and bringing good communications to our team.
Avantages :
The program is very robust and allows us to use parts that fit our businesses well. It is critical to stay in good communications with everyone on the project team, CO makes that easy!
Inconvénients :
In Scheduling, the ability to select multiple assigned people to a single task. The program will close down speratically from time to time.
Siglo D&C Review
Commentaires : I've been using UDA Construction Suite desktop and online platforms and have been extremely satisfied with my overall experience throughout.
Avantages :
Estimating features and ease of use of interface and its components.
Inconvénients :
Takeoff integrations into industry standard AE platforms.
ConstructionOnline is Great
Avantages :
I like that all the construction documents, estimates, and photos of progress is accessible in one place.
Inconvénients :
Sometimes when estimating a project-- certain items are zeroed out for no reason and it is critical that we catch this when it happens and it happens within every estimate that I do.

Uda construction online
Commentaires : I have used uda since 2007, when I decided to go to an online platform I tried several, none of them had the easy user platform that construction online had
Avantages :
Estimate budget tracking, scheduling, the use of subcategories, the ability to set tax rates, and profit margins
Inconvénients :
You can not adjust the schedule from the mobile app
Alternatives envisagées :
Outstanding Support!
Commentaires : Organization, communication, scheduling, efficiency, productivity all improved by utilizing UDA.
Avantages :
The best thing about this software is the almost instant customer support given through the live chat and the knowledge of all of the techs is superb.
Inconvénients :
We are getting ready to integrate Quickbooks Desktop and it would be nice if UDA had their own accounting software within the program.

Construction Online- Great Software for Project Management
Commentaires : My experience has been great! The CO team is very helpful and knowledgeable. They are always willing to help out with any question i may have.
Avantages :
I like that you can estimate with a cost book. I love that you can add owner selections with images and options so your clients can make their own choices. I like that you can create change orders from estimates.
Inconvénients :
The hardest part has been transitioning all of our information from our old system to this system. Now that we have imported almost everything, things are running very smooth.

Company use of Construction Online
Avantages :
We were looking at several products that would allow us to place all details for a project in one place. Once we test ran CO, the search was over. It is simple to navigate and use, even for employees that have no construction background. Building high end custom homes, it is imperitive we are all on the same page( and team ) with information and CO provides us the platform for that. Along with QBooks integration, we now have a stand alone system that has streamlined our productivity.
Inconvénients :
While incorporating CO with our system was somewhat flawless and quick, the tech support they offer is simply phenominal. These professionals really know the product so most issues, if any, are resolved quickly. After using CO for a year now, we would like to see the ability to have a seperate section for warranty on each project. It could be added to the punchlist section as those go along with each other.
Construction Project Management
Commentaires : This is new software to everyone in our organization. I was brought in to assist with integrating the new software by learning it and then teaching it. Overall that process has been easily incorporated.
Avantages :
I use the time tracking, contacts, lead tracking and opportunities. Out of the parts I use, I like the time tracking system. It is easy to adjust for missed or incorrect punches, the notes and photos sections make tracking the completion of the work into a simple monitoring source. I do wish there were a way to add a break or lunch time entry for when those punches get missed.
Inconvénients :
I get frustrated with not all the time punch notes, To Do, Checklists, Punchlist items, Daily Logs, Work Logs from all jobs not flowing into the Overview section. When employees are creating any type of entry that includes photos or notes, it should flow into the Overview section, without having to put it into multiple areas. I would also like to see the ability to track insurance certificate expiration more easily. Having to put it on the calendar with repeating recurrences can be confusing for not having the option for "Never End".
Happy User
Avantages :
Our favorite features are the messaging and financial features. The messaging portal makes it easy to organize your conversations and allow all team members to stay in the loop. The estimation, client selections, change orders, and invoicing features work great and make it easy to integrate with Quickbooks.
Inconvénients :
The feature we use the least and feel could be improved is the time tracking feature. We have attempted to use it in the past, but find Quickbooks Time to be easier and more user friendly, especially when it comes to integrating for payroll. The opportunities feature is also fantastic, but we do wish the opportunities could be accessed in the mobile app and synced to Quickbooks. We have some opportunities that might not become a project, but require invoicing for time spent on designs, etc. This is not possible in the opportunities section at the moment and we end up having to copy the estimate information into Quickbooks manually.

Professional Impact
Commentaires : Just Fantastic and it continues to get better each year.
Avantages :
The estimating module is very east to use and allows for quick changes and efficient communication. The Construction online is the best there is when it comes to project tracking and communication with all team members.,
Inconvénients :
Getting proper job costs from Quickbooks. It's helpful but also confusing.
Northern Legendary Review
Commentaires : I am setting it up to integrate properly with our Quickbooks software through the Socket function, and I really enjoy how the two connect. It seems to integrate well with quick books as long as you understand how the QB items work.
Avantages :
I like the integration capabilities with Quickbooks, it's very easy to use. I also really enjoy the estimate templates and cost code set up. They are very easy to customize and make to fit your company needs.
Inconvénients :
It needs equipment management!! There is a lot out there for estimating, project management and accounting integration, but there isn't much for equipment costing and tracking. Sage 100 features this and I think your software would go even further if you introduced equipment management as well. I also would like an option to not have a parent account when setting up an estimate into quick books, I aslo feel it could merge with the Chart of accounts a little better as well, the generic 'income' and 'expense' account could be made to fit the COA a little bit better.
Helpful Construction Software
Commentaires : The support service for this software has been friendly, timely, and very helpful. We have been very impressed with the quality of their solutions.
Avantages :
We like its ease of use. Additionally the internet platform makes it available to all of our employees wheterh they are in the office or not.
Inconvénients :
We would like to see the estimating portion use a single item entry system that could include labor, materials, trades, equipment and other costs in one line item in the database. The Construction Suite product does this. This feature is the only reason we are still using the Construction Suite software and have not moved completely to COL.
Third Space Builders
Avantages :
The financial reports are instrumental for our business.
Inconvénients :
Building the construction schedules could use a feature that lets you add lag days.
Significant ease of use and straight forward organization of Construction Online.
Commentaires : UDA is a one stop shop for all my project management needs. I use UDA and Microsoft Outlook as my main two software tools on a daily basis.
Avantages :
Constantly updating and evolving with more features. Easy to acclimate new users to features specifically used for their job duties. It is not an all or nothing software. We can limit users to features that will increase their productivity and not inundate nor confuse them with features that are not beneficial to their work flow.
Inconvénients :
Sometimes big time on web server don't know if it is due to # of users or or amount of information contained in our company files. Wish the web server could process the information faster when imputing data.
ConstructionOnline Superintendent Opinion
Commentaires : Overall great experience. The ease of use is nice and the fact that it doesn't contradict itself in its features is very nice. Quickly loads and moves from area to area with little to no confusion. I would certainly suggest this to potential buyers.
Avantages :
The ease of use and seamless transitions from one feature of the program to another. It's easy to understand and clear what each section is intended for. You can quickly access each feature via the very understandable titles, and further specify what section via the left hand menu once the item is selected. They are regularly updating and improving on functionality as well.
Inconvénients :
The mobile app will remove editing that is done on the website for daily logs. If you use bullets or numerals to keep things separated on the pc, then upload pictures from the mobile app to the same log, it will remove any bullets and spacing.
Software is Good; Customer Service is Amazing
Commentaires : Good software. A little pricey in my opinion. Does have a lot to it that you can use if someone really wanted to use all the functions and features. But the customer service almost makes it worth it all. Caroline Prater really keeps me staying with the software when I have wanted to leave this software in the past. Because of the customer service it makes me stay. :)
Avantages :
Customer Service is always there to help. Carolina Prater is amazing and always promptly answers my questions or issues I may have.
Inconvénients :
The app has a lot to be desired. It is having issues at least once a month I get my job supers coming into office telling me something won't work.
Convenient and user friendly
Avantages :
This product is affordable and convenient for meeting all the essential management team criteria
Inconvénients :
Cons: great user-friendly tracking tools. easy daily log system
Has allowed us to greatly streamline our opperations
Avantages :
The project and team management tools will be a huge asset to our system. I like the ability to create templates. I think the estimating is easy to use and very useful
Inconvénients :
I would like to be able to have some initial set up control power on my end when setting up sub contractors. It's absolutely essential that I be able to pull up the estimating docs from the app, so as to cross reference different items. Simply looking at a pdf version is not the same. I think there should be a way to classify projects. For example, once a contract is signed I would turn the project over to live. At that point, the estimate can't be altered, only change orders created. Some of the projects we begin building will never turn into jobs, so they will only have the estimating portion done more than likely. I wouldn't want that project to count as an overall project and go against the total amount we are allowed. But I would want to be able to at least be able to estimate through the system so if it turns into a job, it can carry over. I also think it's really important to be able to use the scheduling system through the app. I wish there were more options to customize the estimate reports to look more professional.
