Best platform for contract management
Reviewed on 2021-05-13
Pros
The easy way to write and submit the inspection report, payment certificates, estimate and most of the contract administration work are breeze to do
Cons
Absolutely nothing that I don't like about the product. Though there can be some improvement in testing side before the product rolls out to avoid any miscalculation in projects
Response from AEC Solutions
Thanks Mali,
Looking forward to serving the team at WSP Canada in 2021! As we rollout new portals, we will spend more time on the sandbox testing. Point taken.

Review of Field App, not Desktop Software
Reviewed on 2021-05-13

The field app ought to be a simple as a calendar. Open project, open day, input notes about day. Thats it. What has been provided is extremely time consuming to use and fumbley. It will not last as the field tool for COB.
The menu icon is a "submit" icon, not a menu icon in the iphone app. This obvious error has never been fixed, despite the feedback. This makes it confusing to use for new users.
Pros
The quantity input portion is the only feature of the field app I find useful.
Cons
The field App is not user-friendly. I'd need to include an attachment to explain all of the issues and how they could be improved upon. It feels like a data collection app, when it simply a place to write notes and input measurements.
Response from AEC Solutions
Hi Jason, Thanks for the review. Please send the complete list to [email protected] and we can arrange to meet with you directly. The app uses sub-tables to collect multiple remarks throughout the day...so the idea of a single Page with 1 comment can be configured easily. If you don't need other sub-table like Labour and Equipment etc.. then no problem. This would make it simple for you. We could have a Remarks Table and that's it...and still have the quantity data collection table for you...I suggest we add this and get your comments to verify that it's more usable to you. As far as the ICON style, we develop for both iOS and Android. The SUBMIT icon is subject to the 3rd party Xamarin development kit we use. I will discuss with development about another method to "Submit" the data...sorry for confusion, this is good to know that ICON style does make a difference.

I like that the program takes the information that is provided the user and prepare a uniform report and the format matches the your colleagues.
Cons
Depending on the platform being used when mobile (Android or ios) the drop down and search options could be improved.

Ease of use. Functionality. I can view the reports immediately after my inspectors have completed them.

uploading photos and documents can take some time. Permissions on reports could be adjusted. Better (more reliable) notification structure could help.

Builterra
Reviewed on 2021-05-18
Pros
The fact that most of the items are picked up app automatically such as location, weather and edits the placement of the photos.
Cons
Every time you write a activity or observation you have to hit the submit button and to edit it you need to go to review mode. It would be easier to add numbers on table for construction members and equipment used rather than selecting once by one. When you take a photo some times it gets deleted and you will have to retake it. When manually a photo is added it adds a default stamp which is incorrect. Contractor has to be written every time you edit the report. When publishing in pfd for example if you have tree photos the stamp of the photo will show on the next page. Adobe files are very heavy when directly publish as pdf. No weekly set up

It’s not helpful to those in the field and is solely for the benefit of the office staff. I find it actually creates work for me and doesn’t speed things up at all. I only use this product because I have to. It’s horrible and I wouldn’t recommend it!

Using Builterra on our tablets and phones on site was very useful for writing speedy inspections. We mainly used Builterra on our mobiles for taking pictures and tracking locations.

It has been acceptable. We haven't been impressed, but not disappointed. It needs to be more fully adopted by our clients before it will become truly useful.

It has all the functionality needed to effectively perform contract administration and inspection services.
Cons
The setup process has been difficult. Our projects don't have all the correct details, and inspectors do not have a trust level with the software.

Thank you for taking the time to review the Builterra platform.

Builterra can be a good fit in terms of form and report creations as long of the user has more control over the software and the software is more flexible.
Pros
Photo uploads and captions.
Generate word and PDF report
Cons
The application is both friendly and not friendly user. The purpose of the using such a software is to eliminate time spending on reports. With Builterra, to bring changes to t report, you have to log in to your computer to bring those changes.
A user should have more control using this software. For example, I need to change the title of the report as per client’s requirements, I cannot do it in software itself- I have to sign in to Builterra portal, download the word/PDF document and then bring those changes.

Not Builterra’s fault
Reviewed on 2021-05-13
Pros
It’s a great platform that can shape a system and culture for organizations that don’t have one. I would recommend to public sector or larger groups that can manage one platform or need a culture change from pen and paper
Cons
Frustration of being forced into it by public sector work. We work in support to a variety of different platforms ie; onware, field wire, procore and our own cloud system
It’s to rigid for us to use on all projects, so we need something more flexible to work within the other systems.
Response from AEC Solutions
Hi Chris, Thanks for the Review.
Glad to hear that the issues are not completely "Builterra's Fault". Complete User Configuration of data collection forms, bid catalogs and pay items was our intent with the platform. The Owner's sometimes dictate the configuration of the system and we can only influence them in the process. I would suggest that we facilitate a Owner-Consultant round table to review pros-cons with them and make changes to better suit your processes. We can reach out directly to help you with this.

Beginner user review
Reviewed on 2021-05-18
Pros
The product is easy to use. Once you know how to access the project, you can easily drag and drop items into the entire tender document to start compiling the entire project into a cost estimate document. I also like that it can populate unit costs from past projects (although some are lower costs than we would expect but those can be bumped up easily.).
Cons
What I don't like currently in the menus is the "Dummy Items" - creating custom items is a little bit of a hassle. These dummy items are placed randomly throughout different drop down menus and it is very confusing. Maybe having the first line item as a dummy item with no item code would be easier to manage and navigate. You can check to see if the item code inputted already belongs to a different item and if it does, prompt the user to use a different code for the dummy items.
