User Testimonials
	CoConstruct	Simpro
Likelihood to Recommend	CoConstruct is a great program for small to mid-size residential and commercial projects. It still has a ways to go with subcontractor engagement but the groundwork is there for this to be a good program. The needs and requirements for a residential or remodel project always are different and unique, but CoConstruct is very well suited to address these needs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Simpro is well suited for job and team management, tracking inventory and the workflow is very logical. The mobile app for our field technicians works very well to clock on and off and then being in a position to report to a customer based on factual information has made invoicing a breeze! Reporting can be a bit frustrating especially on materials used on different cost centre numbers as you can only specify a job number, but not a cost centre number. Incentivized Nadia Cluttey Office Administrator Read full review
Pros	The integration of all aspects needed to run a remodeling company efficiently: project scheduling and management, financial planning and customer service. Since it’s an all-in-one suite and cloud-based, it enables our team to keep track of all our projects in real-time. Communication breakdown is the last thing we want, so being on the same page is not only desirable but makes for the best possible relationship with our clients. Product education - We like how CoConstruct helps new users and get them to start using the tool right away. The dashboard resource materials are incredibly useful. We don’t have to spend a lot of time training new hires on the system and onboarding new clients. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Billing: straight from a closed, complete job. Carries overall equipment, hours, takes one click to bill. simPRO retains notes on all emails; notes can be entered by anyone to track communication with clients. Incentivized CB Cheryl Bach CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Read full review
Cons	Estimating is still done on third party software and pulled into the program. If you do manual takeoffs and work on a spreadsheet, this is relatively simple to do - and you could probably enter it straight into Co-Construct. However, if you use automatic takeoffs for accuracy and speed, you will end up doing a bit of double handling as you re-enter the output into Co-Construct. Ideally, you would be able to do the takeoffs within the program, entering the data only once. Incentivized CJ Craig Jolly Director Read full review	Converting quotes into projects. Managing a project in an easy way and managing the labour for a job. having the flexibility to manage labour days and not in just hours. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	As mentioned before, materials reporting could use some work as one cannot report by cost centre number, only by job number. It makes it difficult with large jobs with multiple cost centre numbers to easily extract information for reporting. Other than that the system is user friendly and easy to understand.

Support Rating	The customer support for CoConstruct is hands down the best I have ever experienced from a software company. Any time I send a support request through the help center, my questions are either acknowledged or answered and solved within 20-30 minutes. For more complicated items, they will keep in touch with me as the team works through the problem. I often offer enhancement requests which they take seriously, and over the years, some of the changes that I have wanted to see have been implemented. Excellent customer service! Incentivized ZS Zach Snider Owner / Production manager Read full review	It is a great option for solar project management. It needs some improvements for real-time one-page reports, inventory management, scheduling and custom views. I believe these will come because they listen to their customers. I would also like to see some better training and not be expected to pay out of pocket for it. Incentivized AM Andrew Means Project Manager Read full review
