## Reviews

### "Essential quoting tool." — 5.0/5

> **Stephen** | *16 July 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As the Sales Director at Manor Interior Solutions, BuildM8 has been a game-changer for us. It has streamlined our sales, quoting, and forecasting processes.
The forecasting and profitability analysis tools provide real-time insights, enabling us to make data-driven decisions and optimise resources. BuildM8 has significantly enhanced our efficiency, accuracy, and profitability. I highly recommend it to any business looking to streamline their sales and quoting processes.
> 
> **Cons**: I have seen quite a few developments along the way and Build M8 have always listened to our concerns and have done their utmost to integrate changes, to make it an essential tool for our business.
> 
> The sales management tools have improved our customer interaction tracking and boosted our conversion rates. The quote creation feature allows us to generate accurate and professional quotes quickly, integrating materials and labour costs directly from our database.

### "User Friendly BuildM8" — 5.0/5

> **Tracey** | *11 July 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As a Project Administrator at Manor Interior Solutions, I have been using BuildM8 for almost a year, and it has significantly improved my daily workflow. One of the best features is the centralised communication hub. It has eliminated the need to juggle multiple platforms for emails, PDFs, and forms, making it incredibly easy to keep all project-related communications in one place. This centralisation has streamlined our processes and improved our team's collaboration and efficiency.
Another feature I appreciate is the project management capabilities. With unlimited project entries, I can track and manage jobs from start to finish without any hassle including cost tracking. The ability to attach plans, drawings, and equipment details directly to each job entry ensures that everyone on the team has easy access to all necessary information. This has greatly reduced the time spent searching for documents and has enhanced our overall productivity. Overall, BuildM8 has been a game-changer for our team, and I highly recommend it to other Project Administrators looking to enhance their workflow.
> 
> **Cons**: While the software is excellent, there is always room for improvement. It would be beneficial to have more integration options with other tools we use. However, the existing features are robust and have made a positive impact on our project management processes.

### "BuildM8 in Design Stage" — 5.0/5

> **Steve** | *3 July 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The document sharing and archival features ensure our design vision is executed perfectly on-site.
The document sharing functionality allows us to upload and share all relevant drawings and specifications with ease. The well-organised archive lets us quickly retrieve past documents, improving our workflow.
Building up complex quotation that match our design vision re simply transferred over to our Project Managers to execute the project.
Can be accessed on-site via mobile app allowing site survey photos to be instantly uploaded to allow all parties to view.
> 
> **Cons**: A feature for superseded design information would be useful, it is not essential as the documents are displayed chronologically anyway, but could be a handy option.
> 
> The ease of information access has significantly benefited our site team, ensuring they understand and execute the customer’s vision accurately. BuildM8 has improved our on-site communication, contractors onsite can access design information and make necessary changes without and allowing E-signature confirmation. Highly recommended for any design-focused business.
