This is the best new "toy" I've had in years. I feel like a kid in a candy store!

Saves time. Makes it easy to find stuff. Helps you stay organized. Keeps subs, vendors, owners, architects, vendors all on the same page.
Pros
I am a new user of this kind of software. A few months ago I did not even know that something like this existed. It has opened a whole new world for me and I am blown away by what this software can do. We demo'ed a few competing products before making a choice and it was the wide range of features at the most competitive price that sold us on ConstructionOnline. I especially like the messaging feature which is basically an email system dedicated to one specific project.
Cons
There is nothing I really dislike about ConstructionOnline, there are just some features I do not use as they do not meet my needs as a commercial general contractor. For example, I do not use Estimating and Change Orders as they seem to be less robust than some of the other software products. These features seem to be geared more towards the residential market. However, I realize it is hard to be everything for everyone.
A feature, I think, that would be nice would be the ability to sign documents electronically. Maybe one can do it through Redline; if so, I have not been able to figure it out yet.
As a general contractor one has to collect submittal packages from vendors and subcontractors, review them, and then attach a separate sheet to the package, that contains your stamp of approval/comments/signature on it, before you forward the submittal package on to the architect/engineer for review. On this submittal sheet there is space for the different reviewers to add their stamps as well. It would be nice if ConstructionOnline could generate this submittal sheet that you can attach to submittal packages sent to you. Currently, I generate the submittal sheet in another project management program, print it, place my stamp on it, sign it, scan it back into my computer, upload it to a pdf editor, add it to the submittal package file, and then upload the combined file to ConstructionOnline. It would be nice if you could do it all in ConstructionOnline.

I believe we were one of the first companies to come aboard and have learned to use the platform as a great advantage for our team.
Pros
We like the scheduling and estimating components of the program the best. We can have all our resources in one place and easily communicate Schedules, Change orders and Proposals to Owners, Subcontractors and Suppliers.
Cons
I would like to see the Lead tracking be more like a CRM where you could email your contacts and schedule automated follow-ups.

Our journey with ConstructionOnline has been nothing short of a complete failure. Despite investing significant time and resources, we were never able to fully implement our system, yet we were charged the full first-year fee with no offer of even a partial refund.
Our onboarding and implementation process spanned 3.5 months as we struggled to align with their system. We encountered a major roadblock in adapting their scheduling/dispatching module causing significant delays and preventing us from progressing to other modules.
Their workaround instructed us to rely on static reports, which proved impractical and irrelevant to our workflow. Ultimately, we had to make the difficult decision to abandon our efforts to implement ConstructionOnline.
We communicated our decision to the implementation team as well as the Sr leadership in writing and requested a partial credit. Given that the system was never fully implemented, we expected at least a partial credit for the first year's SaaS fee. Instead, there was no response from the leadership at all, and the reply from the salesperson simply stated …” that our account would be deactivated to avoid future charges” ….
Pros
Everything presented in the Sales pitch met with our needs during the original disucussions with the sales team.
Cons
We could never get Scheduling / Dispatching to fit our needs. We simply wanted to be able to see our backlog of projects and to be able to schedule a technician against the open opportunity in real time. Instead, they had us create reports, run the report, and then see the outcome. This was totaly impractical.

UDA seems to have developed a platform that is incredibly complete and well thought out. Even though UDA has proven itself to be a player in the Technology corridor, the company still has great people working there and great interactions with us, the client.
Pros
My company enjoys the completeness of the platform and the helpfulness of the onboarding and support teams! COnstruction Online has really helped us streamline our processes.
Cons
Not really much to dislike. We experienced a learning curve but have migrated successfully from the previous offline version to this one and really like it.

It was intuitive to set up but also very labor intensive. Took me about eight weeks of 60 hour days to get the basics up and running.
Pros
Selections
Easy to use
Similar enough to others that users can learn it very quickly.
Scheduling looks like it’s going to work very well. Would like to see scheduling by the hour not just by the day.
Cons
Payroll doesn’t import as they don’t link to Quickbooks online
Doesn’t track subcontractor insurance policies
Doesn’t provide lien waivers so we have to use a third system to get that
No bid management system for gathering subcontractor bids, selecting and awarding subcontracts. It’s all very manual and thus very prone to error.
