## Reviews

### "Best home builder system" — 5.0/5

> **Mike** | *13 July 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This system can run a 10 homes a year builder to a 10,000 home a year builder.  The best part is it is all integrated, meaning Newstar develops and maintains all the pieces from accounting to purchasing to sales to construction schedules.  Support is amazing and we get real people on line to solve our issues (mostly user error\!) .We also love it is on the internet so we can operate anywhere, even on vacation.
> 
> **Cons**: Cost is high but we save that much and more each year.  I cannot see how any home builder can operate without a system like this.
> 
> We have use the system for 25 years and are very pleased.  They also have an annual conference and online classes and a large user group that gets together on line

### "Homeowner Central and CustomerInsight improved our warranty management and homebuyer satisfaction" — 5.0/5

> **Dorothy** | *29 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Homeowner Central has completely streamlined how we manage service requests, documents, and homeowner communication. Everything is now in one place, which has reduced duplicated work and cut down on service calls. Our coordinators save over 100 hours each month thanks to the automated data flow into NEWSTAR (Constellation construction management solution), and response times are consistently under two business days. CustomerInsight survey tool has also been valuable for capturing feedback at critical stages like the 30-day mark, helping us spot issues early and make improvements that directly benefit homeowners.
> 
> **Cons**: There is a bit of a learning curve at the start for both staff and homeowners when adopting the portal. It requires some upfront training and support, but once people get used to it, adoption is strong, and the benefits outweigh the initial effort.
> 
> Our overall experience has been very positive. Service requests and follow-up calls have dropped, Tarion claim forms are down by nearly 50% in communities using the portal, and homeowners are more satisfied thanks to faster and clearer communication. We are now able to consistently respond to homeowners in under two business days, which has been a noticeable improvement for both our team and our buyers. The system has given us transparency, saved significant staff time, and strengthened trust with our homeowners. CustomerInsight adds another layer by surfacing feedback that we can act on right away, which has made us more responsive and proactive. Overall, Constellation has helped us deliver a better homeowner experience while improving our internal efficiency.

### "Newstar" — 1.0/5

> **Ben** | *4 December 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It guides the user step by step when making an entry&#10;Undo Audit feature
> 
> **Cons**: very hard to learn &#10;user interface is very small&#10;customer service is slow to respond

-----

### "Great Construction System" — 5.0/5

> **angela** | *5 August 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user friendly setup is great.  The sales team can pick options easily and the office can send out purchase orders tied to sales fast and efficiently.  Also upload documents for subs easily.
> 
> **Cons**: Some updates are not good and affect the system in a negatively way and it takes a few days for constellation to get the patch uploaded.  The way options have to be setup some times not friendly for more choices.
> 
> Great.  It is our system for our residential construction company.  It is user friendly and sub friendly.

### "Chief Financial Officer" — 5.0/5

> **Carmen** | *2 June 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 1. The system is easy to navigate. &#10;2. The company does a great job with collaboration when I've had ideas for enhancements. &#10;3. From an accounting perspective, the functionality within the system is very thorough and efficient.
> 
> **Cons**: There really isn't anything too note worthy, I would say the user experience can sometimes be a challenge. Some screens we work within don't allow for full screen display which would make things easier for us.
> 
> My overall experience with Constellation Homebuilder Systems has been great. We've been with them for many years and they've been awesome to work with.
