Best software for project management with the customer

All in all BT is a good software to send customers change's to approve and pay, track the progress of the project, manager purchase orders and even pay invoices. I highly recommend that you connect your accounting (Quickbooks) to BT to making paying invoices super easy and reducing the tasks on accounting. If you are using the system as its intended and entering all the information in BT, it makes the accounting a breeze and you can even have checks sent from BT!!
Pros
Buildertrend (BT) is PM software for construction, especially residential. I used this software for project tracking, cost, and communication with the customer. This software has many different features and levels to us it. You have PO's , Change Orders, Invoicing, Blueprints, Selections, etc. Having everything you need in one place makes it easy to have a high level overview of the project and see any detail needed. BT also sync's with Quickbooks making accounting a breeze!
Cons
Setting up BT can take quite sometime and training is needed for the software. If you are tech savvy, you can probably get away without training but will be missing alot of the features that BT offers that makes it worth it. Also, when syncing with quickbooks, you can get errors and everything must match 100%. It is best if you build everything in quickbooks and then import it into BT when setting up so that you know everything is correct and the accounts are linked.

Not True Estimating Software

I was looking for true estimating software, which this is not. It was portrayed that it could be. True estimating software assigns labor units as you do the takeoff. This software does not. The takeoff can be done faster by hand, for the job sizes that this is designed for. There is no true free trial. Setup is very tedious, and training drags out. This is not for the self-employed, unless the person can afford a lot of downtime to learn. Had zero contact with anyone, but they continued taking my money for 4 months. I got nothing for all of that money that they took. I regret my decision to try this software.
Pros
Has nice TAKEOFF features. Has customer facing features
Cons
Not true estimating software, but was portrayed as such. No labor units. The free trial is not really free, because extensive training and setup is needed to even use the software. Need to have someone to set up the software, and learn it fast to be able to recoup the expense of the software. Continued taking money out of my account, even with no contact for months. It's better to purchase on-site software, and have someone train on site. That way you're not paying a fortune every month, for something you cant use.

Was used when advising a custom home builder. His clients loved it. He loved it. His partners loved it. ...but, he was paying $399/mo to use about 10% of its power and realize "10% of the 10%'s" potential.
Pros
Clients and Sub-Contractors love it, and it nails-it with respect to the execution of task scheduling and overall project management, the most essential functions.
Cons
It feels more complicated than it needs to be. Perhaps it's a reflection of their broad and deep capabilities, but I sense and suspect that we're missing out on easily-accessible value-creation potential merely because adoption & utilization is slower than it could/should be due to not focusing on the most high-impact essentials.
