I went from inputing about 30% of the information Building Connected has available in my own excel spreadsheet for at least 2-3 hours per day to letting the program do its job and running reports at my leisure\! > > **Cons**: Occasionally, the website locks up and causes some frustration with my sales team, but they all agree that we can never go back\! > > Absolutely love it\! ----- ### "Building Connected is Cutting Edge" — 5.0/5 > **Jeff** | *19 December 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The access to subcontractors all over the country. The analytics provided by the program to track and compare projects solicited. The constant improvement of the program and how it evolves. The ability to be very dynamic and flexible. The ease of use and set up supersedes other programs tried in the past. > > **Cons**: The up-keep of contact information and how to update it. Populating relevant vendors for scopes of work for the area of work to be performed in. > > The ease of accessing subcontractors across the United States is amazing. Instead of using several different sources it now cut down to using BC and maybe one or two others. ----- ### "Helpful Platform for Managing Bid Invitations" — 5.0/5 > **Fiona** | *10 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BuildingConnected makes it easy to manage bid invites and keep all project information in one place. It helps us stay organized with multiple projects, track invitations and communications, and quickly access plans and documents. The platform is easy to navigate and saves a lot of time compared to managing bids through email. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the platform can feel a little rigid when it comes to customizing how we organize projects or documents. It would also be helpful to have more flexibility with file uploads and filtering tools when working with larger projects or a lot of bid invites. > > Overall our experience with BuildingConnected has been very positive. It has streamlined how we receive and track bid opportunities and made communication with general contractors much easier. Having everything centralized—plans, messages, and bid information—helps keep our team organized and saves time during the bidding process. ----- ### "Could be better" — 3.0/5 > **David** | *25 August 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Allows us to send bids in our area to many subcontractors. > > **Cons**: 1) Impossible to use in iPhone. 2) Comments are not valued by Buildingconnected Management 3) Mixes apples and oranges when it comes to UNION versus OPEN SHOP Subs, it needs serious revamping. 4) Ditto regarding the mix of subs, painters show under electrical subs. This needs a complete revamp, as well. 5) The selection of dates is cumbersome as the calendar "moves" up and down instead of being located in the same place when changing months. 6) During the set up of project one cannot pick a date for the RFI date. 7) The cursor does not automatically go to the proper location to start typing, instead it necessitates the use of the mouse to move the cursor there. This should be for ALL cases where one needs to type information. 8) There is too many BAD EMAIL ADDRESSES identified in the database that NEVER get corrected. There needs to be an earnest effort coming from the very top to keep the DATABASE in ship shape. We pay WAY TOO much money for this to be the case. 9) There needs to be more refinement within the categories available to pick subs from the standard 16 CSI divisions. For instance, there is a huge difference between a sub who makes and installs the coolers and freezer boxes and those who do the refrigeration for them, such difference is not considered in the options. > > If the problems shown above are corrected I would describe as good. ----- ### "The Great Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jesus** | *21 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It makes searching for projects easy as well as finding all the information i need to finish my proposals. > > **Cons**: Files at times feel like they are all over the place \& it can feel overwhelming having to go through one file at a time. > > Overall, i would recommend Building Connected to other estimators because it just makes my work easier for me ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/6327/buildingconnected-mech?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/6327/buildingconnected-mech) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
