How many projects are you running in Materio?
It seems to change daily, but right now we have 12 estimates and 22 live projects. We’ve really been able to scale and deliver more projects with this software.
How has Materio affected how your team works together?
We’ve finally nailed streamlined communications on our team and immediate access to decisions or changes on our projects. And Materio has undoubtedly brought a communication connection between field management, project management, and the design team.
What platforms or tools were you using before to keep your projects organized and what made you want to switch to Materio?
BuilderTrend, but it did not work. Excel spreadsheets were outdated and isolated so it ended up that text or calls were what we were doing. We needed a tool to help build team communication that included client interaction and Materio fit the bill.
What are your favorite features or workflows in Materio and why?
The tools built into Materio software are so intuitive to design-build firms! Reporting and time tracking are vital.
Anything else you’d like to share?
Excellent product Thank goodness!! Much needed in our industry for those who desire to be current and not old-school pen and paper. Our clients love it and find it easy to use.
