I think there should be a push notification to advise you to update your software > > its been great. ----- ### "All hail Buildup\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jose** | *31 August 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything. I use in on a daily basis as quality control and punch for unit turnover in multifamily construction > > **Cons**: How can i copy n paste same tasks for all the apartment units in one building. Im sire theres a way. I just need to call in. > > Its perfect. Im 35 years on construction....and its a gift to tge construction industry and easy to use and communicate with subs at the same time or individually. I just punch a list and a pic...send...and goes straight to to them\! ----- ### "Great potential to become a regular tool in project management." — 3.0/5 > **Dan** | *1 March 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ability to keep a live punchlist on a project that is able to be shared among my team. It is helpful to know I can go in and see that one of my team members has already addressed an issue and I have the photo backup to prove it was completed correctly. The ability to set and adjust deadlines is also very beneficial so all parties know the expectation. You can set a standard timeframe of "7 days to complete" once entered into the system and no matter when you document the issue the due date automatically adjusts to 7 days out. The user interface (UI) is neat on the app. The ability to apply a single issue to numerous project locations and/or crews is helpful in saving data entry time. Customer service was attentive to my issues and informed me that my feedback hit on several items that were in production for an update rollout. They seemed very genuine and I look forward to those minor adjustments. > > **Cons**: Ultimately it is hard to share with less tech savvy crews, and the lack of ability to remove or edit a photo attached to an issue while inside the mobile app is frustrating because sometimes you choose the wrong image (a feature Customer Service confirmed was in production). It would also be nice if the photos, when taken, were also stored locally on my phone (even if at a lesser resolution) just to have a local reference in lieu of having to go back to the app to view it. When providing punchlists to less tech savvy crews we have to resort to a printed format. However, the various "printed" formats of the punchlist either make the photos too small to be beneficial or include more data columns than the crew needs which just wastes paper space. Being able to customize a printed "issues report" would be a neat feature in the future. The crews really benefit from seeing the issue, reading the description of the issue, and knowing which part of the project is it on that is where the focus of a printed report needs to be. The UI has a little more room for improvement. > > We primarily used this for Punchlist work on construction projects. As a punchlist tool, it compares favorably to some of the other programs that are either way too restrictive or way too detailed an resource heavy (like a BIM360). This is a great core product with a bright future. ----- ### "Teams preferred choice in Punch Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Anita** | *16 August 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buildup is an easy to use very effective tool to record and track punch work. > > **Cons**: Creating reports is extremely difficult. It's a great tool for in-field punch items but office administration of the information collected is difficult manage. > > Overall it's the tool that is preferred by our filed teams creating punch items. ----- ### "It does exactly what you need it to" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 September 2019* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software is extremely easy to use. It allows for quick documentation of items requiring corrective action with photos, markups, plans, and notes tied direct to the item. Add a punch item in seconds. Assign it to the responsible party and track it throughout its completion. Everyone is on the same page. > > **Cons**: There are no significant drawbacks to this software. > > We tried many ways to document and track punch list items during the commissioning process. This is by far the easiest to use. Works the same on all devices. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/176986/buildup?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/176986/buildup) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
