You know that immediate stress you feel when you call customer support and can’t easily get a real person on the phone? Well that’s a foreign concept to our clients.

Here’s What ConstructionOnline Has That Our Competitors Don’t

So now you know what builders across the globe have said about ConstructionOnline, but now you’re probably wondering what is it about our project management tools and features that makes builders rate us #1 every time.

Here’s a list of our highly sought-after features that you probably won’t find anywhere else:

Robust Estimating

ConstructionOnline’s estimating is some of the most robust and comprehensive in the industry. Our estimating was specifically created to help you manage project finances and stay under budget from project start to project finish, including all of those unexpected budget changes that we know are bound to happen.

While Procore does have estimating tools, theirs are not as robust, comprehensive, and easy to use as ConstructionOnline's.

Here’s what you’ll get with our estimating:

• Core estimating tools essential for every builder
• Estimate reports and templates
• Job costing and profitability reports
• Proposals and contracts
• Integration with QuickBooks, change orders, client selections, and Redline Takeoff
• Items database and costbooks that can be linked to estimate line items

Redline Takeoff Software

ConstructionOnline’s integrated Redline takeoff software is yet another feature you won’t find in our competitors’ platforms. We know an estimate is nothing without an accurate takeoff, and with Redline Takeoff, you’ll be able to create estimates with confidence and accuracy.

Here’s what our Redline Takeoff integration allows you to do:

• Core estimating tools essential for every builder
• Estimate reports and templates
• Job costing and profitability reports
• Proposals and contracts
• Integration with QuickBooks, change orders, client selections, and Redline Takeoff
• Items database and costbooks that can be linked to estimate line items

Gantt Chart Scheduling & Multi-Project Scheduling

ConstructionOnline’s OnPlan Scheduling is optimized to help you improve productivity and increase efficiency. I’m sure you know how frustrating it is when all of your projects are consistently running over the set timeline: you lose time, credibility, money, and peace of mind.

With ConstructionOnline’s scheduling, you will never be out of the loop about what should be done and when, and how the project is progressing overall. Here’s what you get with our scheduling tools:

• Gantt chart views and list views for a more comprehensive breakdown
• Schedule baselines that help you track progress and slippage
• Task reminders for you and your team
• TrueVision multi-project scheduling

Want to know what kind of scheduling Procore has? None of its own! You have to integrate with a third-party tool like Microsoft Projects which means more expenses for your company. With us, everything is inhouse which means easier manageability and less money.

GamePlan Task Lists

With tools like ConstructionOnline’s GamePlan task lists, you and your team will always know exactly what needs to be done by what day and time. 

Have you ever been stressed out because your team is constantly asking you what they are supposed to be doing and as a result multiple tasks are finished late? With ConstructionOnline’s GamePlan reminders, you and your team will never be out of the loop about the important tasks that need to be done.

While Procore does have schedule task notification emails, they do not to our knowledge have a notification system like GamePlan that sends out comprehensive, detailed emails with all upcoming and past due tasks. Here’s how GamePlan task reminders can help your team stay on task and on schedule:

• Relevant team members are automatically notified about upcoming and past due items like change orders, client selections, schedule tasks, RFIs, submittals, assigned lead, punch list items, checklist items, to do list items, and more
• Customize GamePlans to be sent out at a specific day or time
• Set up recurring emails to send out weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or otherwise

TrueVision Business Intelligence

ConstructiOnline’s TrueVision Business Intelligence is really where we stand out from the competition, because none of our competitors have anything like it! TrueVision allows you to get a birds-eye-view of how your company is performing across multiple projects.

TrueVision gives you crucial insights on your overall project health, including financial health, team performance, resource tracking, and more. 

Here’s how TrueVision Business Intelligence helps your business be more successful:

• Track project performance with project scorecards
• Optimize your team’s efficiency with ResourceTrak by viewing availability, conflicts, workloads, and more
• Manage multiple project schedules at once with multi-project scheduling
• Predict future profits and track financial health with financials and profitability reporting
