UDA ConstructionSuite
"ConstructionSuite handles all of my company's daily work duties from critical path to change orders to vendor information to daily project tasks. The estimating section is by far the best I've used in the past ten years, and I've tried many. I can do everything from reports to extremely detailed estimating without fear of forgetting an item, and then I can import the final estimate into QuickBooks."
"I also love the new ConstructionNet product - it is going to run my company. I can keep track of my vendors and have everything pop up in Outlook for me on my BlackBerry. Any company looking to grow their business need not look further than ConstructionSuite. It's the best bet for having higher profit margins and well-organized projects.
Tim Lassiter, President
Houston Remodeling, Houston, Texas
"As a home builder, I need tools that help leverage my time as much as possible. UDA ConstructionSuite speeds the process of drafting specifications, writing contracts, estimating, scheduling and other document creation. And, the QuickBooks Integration enables me to quickly generate QuickBooks estimates and purchase orders as well as monitor project costs. With UDA ConstructionSuite, all my project-related documents are organized in one place, assuring that everyone in my office has access to and is working with the same source documents."
George E. Daily, Owner
A&E Homes, LLC, Lake Anna, Virginia
"Before using ConstructionSuite, we struggled for a long time with our own manual methods. In the new version, there are three elements that we found essential to properly managing any construction project: Change Order Management with automated documentation; QuickBooks Integration, especially the ability to bring actual cost data from QuickBooks back into the UDA Estimate; and the new Insurance Tracking, which allows us to track insurance certificates for our subcontractors. We're just thrilled with the new product."
Elaine Torres
Braewood Development LP, Frisco, Texas
"I really like ConstructionSuite - it looks like it is going to be more interactive than what I have seen before and offers a really nice central location for all my information. The new Today screen is great because it shows where you've got everything right there in one spot."
"I especially like the new scheduling and how it works with the interface. I am seeing a real definite increase in speed in the schedule in terms of saving and refreshing, and I like how it shows any conflicts with subcontractors, schedule to schedule, and project to project. With all the new features and new interface, I don't even have to open up every project schedule to get the information I need. Now I can pull up projects on the calendar and see my activities and appointments from the new interface."
Jack Hunter
Martin Custom Home Builders, Fayetteville, Arkansas
"The new ConstructionSuite is great! I purchased the previous version after I won a new construction job using the 10 day demo. The new system is so easy to use that once it is set up, I can scale the plan, input dimensions, and presto - quantities are inserted and it's accurate to the way I build."
Paul Tatom
All Stage Construction LLC, Binton, Louisiana
System Integration
"I have come to believe and rely on ConstructionOffice. I love the full integration for my custom home and design-build company. I used to use MS Project and I thought it was good until I started using your scheduling tool. The power of your product is that I can integrate everything. The fullness of your product and the ease of transfer between Excel, Word, and QuickBooks is unparalleled. You have done your homework and whoever has the knowledge in the programming languages has been involved in the trade."

UDA ConstructionOffice Transforms Third-Generation North Carolina Contractor
"ConstructionOffice gives me the ability to use the estimate to generate a schedule, and then go from the schedule to print out a weekly task list that has the notes to indicate things like materials, resources, and so forth that are necessary for the job and email it to my project supervisor on Sunday night to let him take a look at it, then I'm able to take it to work on Monday morning. It's just inconceivable how fast and easy it makes the whole project management process."
"Using ConstructionOffice has allowed me to increase the volume of work I can take on by at least 100% - that's twice as much work as I could previously handle. But that's not even the best part. The best part of it is that I've not only increased my volume, productivity, and efficiency, but I've also increased my profitability." read more

"The thing I like most is to start from a proposal and go all the way through to the schedule. You said this product could do a project from start to finish and it does exactly that. I love it!"

ConstructionOffice Professional XT California
"I am a firm believer of project management and ConstructionOffice is a vital tool for that - I like the way it links projects. My philosophy is that I like to have it on the computer in software. One feature I like right now is the task management. We'll live and die by the start and planning reminders. The fact that you're integrated with Microsoft Office is also great. The other girl who will be using it knows Microsoft Office, and this will be very comfortable for both of us."

California Contractor Brings Up Bottom Line
"I'm a General Contractor in California, and I've been using ConstructionOffice since 2002. The Estimating tools are great. At the end of the project I can see how much money I made, or the other way around. My estimates are a lot more accurate than they used to be, and I'm faster, too. The ConstructionOffice integration marries the estimate and the schedule together, so you can share information. It really saves me a lot of time. I can't do without ConstructionOffice." read more
