The tech support is great. > > **Cons**: I have not found anything I like least yet about Smart Contractor\! > > The system is easy to use\! The support is very helpful. ----- ### "Best Construction Software on the Market" — 5.0/5 > **Nancy** | *24 November 2010* > > **Pros**: This is by far the best construction software I have found. I tested at least 8 products ranging in price from $400 to $8,000 and Smart Contractor was the hands down winner. We run a general construction company with about 15 employees. I needed to track job costs and invoice customers as well as run reports for specific purposes like gathering workers comp information and vendor statement reconciliation. Although SC has the ability to be linked to Quickbooks, I am running it as a stand alone program and it is meeting all my needs. I did not want to use a double entry accounting software for job costing. I wanted the flexibility that SC allows by not requiring that everything flow through to general ledger accounts (although this is possible) SC is easy to use, intuitive, and has the absolute best customer service of any product I have ever used. It is simple to use yet provides all the information we need to evaluate job profitability and generate estimates and invoices. > > **Cons**: Absolutely none. I only wish I had found it sooner as it has already helped us make management decisions from the information we have gathered using SC. > > For a small to medium sized construcition company this is the absolute best choice of software available. The program is simple to use, flexible and has a wide range of comprehensive reports. But the thing that makes this product stand out from the rest is the unsurpassed customer service. I have had many situations where I have contacted the members of the Smart Contractor team with questions or requests for enhancements to the program to meet special needs of our business and they have been incredible. They help me find ways to use the program more effectively and have even made several additions to the program to fulfill my requirements, imagine getting that kind of service from one of the box software companies (not likely). The team at SC is curteous, easy to reach and responsive to their customers needs, rare qualities in a company today. The product is perfect for our needs and knowing there is a knowledgable and responsive team behind it makes it a perfect choice. ----- ### "Horrible Execution, Great Idea" — 2.0/5 > **Tom** | *15 September 2015* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a good database and creates professional looking estimates and invoices. > > **Cons**: The help section awful. I mean horrible. They provide minimal videos that get you started and excited about their product. The problem is that there are no videos to explain anything beyond the most basic functions. The help section of the software is deplorable and in order to learn how to do any process you have to search several items and put them together. Generally you still need to call support (which I will admit was very helpful, but if they were not I would have demanded a refund as the program would not work otherwise) to have them explain it and often the reason we could not get the software to work was because of a programming glitch or problems with smartcontractor communicating with Quickbooks. We have not used several of the functions we were told the software has simply because there are no instructions on how to use them unless you want to spend more (a lot more) money having them teach you what smartcontractor should have included instructions for, you are out of luck. ----- ### "Good Luck in Finding a Better Solution" — 4.0/5 > **Tyler** | *22 March 2010* > > **Pros**: Extremely Flexible set up and organization Powerful Integration of all related systems and has great coordination of each system Super easy to make changes, updates, change orders, etc Love how you can set up banking options and automatically produce a AIA draw request with one button Everything is based off of the estimate. This is the BEST way to organize the information as it all relates to the bottom line\! Powerful reporting that gives a large number of options for printed forms which are very customer friendly. My clients think they look very professional and this makes me look better than the competition Integration with quickbooks. Quick and easy using a program most people already use or know Competitive Pricing > > **Cons**: There are almost too many options in how you set up your estimate, all of which related to how to process and bill a job. The learning curve on how to set up your estimates so it is easy to track and bill takes a couple of jobs to get it to the level of detail you realistically want to track > > I have been really happy with my decision on purchasing Smart Contractor. I looked around and demoed (even bought) quite a few products and none had the power that SC does at even close to the price. Is more complexity better? no way. This program has all the flexibility and features my company needs while being pretty intuitive in using and operating. I won't outgrow it and have not even thought about even looking at another program because I got what I needed with SC. ----- ### "Smart Contractor is an awesome business management software." — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *13 July 2009* > > **Pros**: Smart Contractor is an awesome business management software. The features of Smart Contractor are endless. The program's ability to manage a project has increased our companies volume by 30%. Smart Contractor has also limited my estimating mistakes by its ability to directly write the proposal from the job estimate. Smart Contractor also allows our company to monitor, adjust, and repetitively perform the same project time and again. It has allowed us the opportunity to break down jobs by phase and make appropriate adjustments price wise to control profits. Now we can see where we make money and more importantly, where we are not. Smart Contractor's flexibility is great. Everything in the program can be adjusted to fit your companies set-up. The support staff at Smart Contractor has been second to none\!\!\! I've never had a problem go unsolved. Their willingness to take in feed back and better the program is amazing. > > **Cons**: This program did not come with already established pricing catalogs -- that sounds like a disadvantage, but those catalogs are often not up to date. > > Definitely I would recommend this software to other construction companies (just not in my area because I don't want the competition\!) ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/117172/smart-contractor?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/117172/smart-contractor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
