The benefits of having one Software Application to do literally ALL the tasks needed to run our company can not be over stated. > > **Cons**: Like any all-encompassing software it takes some effort to get your head around all the many and varied functionalities within the package, but with time, patience and persistence it has become our hub for everything within the business. ----- ### "Linked Building Beams Review" — 4.0/5 > **Jason** | *28 February 2020* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having all the functions in one software is great \& Beams estimating is very powerful allowing for fast, efficient and consistent take off's > > **Cons**: I didn't find the program easy to learn and it is not always intuitive. The CRM is not up to speed with a lot of other CRM programs out there and has limited search and reporting functions. In general allowing better flexibility of content \& presentation for reports in Beams would be a real improvement. > > Now that we have learned the program we find Beams to be a real asset to our business and we are constantly discovering clever functions which are really useful, time saving and reduce risk of duplication. ----- ### "Beams potential" — 3.0/5 > **Craig** | *27 February 2020* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: 100% Australian owned and operated. The potential to fully integrate home building process for both project homes \& custom home builders. The potential to be improved on modern software platforms. The potential for Beams administration to have home building templates for build process \& production estimation in NSW. The potential for the set up of the basic Categories/Coast Centres for builders in NSW The potential to integrate with supply chain providers. E.g. Bunnings, Hume doors, Gainsborough, PGH, etc... > > **Cons**: Australian created software originating from W.A. it is disjointed from the East Coast of Australia by way of building process, methodologies \& glossary of terms. Time difference for technical support. The lack of information aligned to NSW builders. Too complex and areas for errors. > > Integrated accounts, payroll, estimating and purchase order creation. Build process is painstakingly set up the potential for Beams mobile is also great. ----- ### "Beams Review" — 4.0/5 > **Brad** | *19 February 2020* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the fact that the software incorporates all aspects of a construction business not just estimating, it takes care of payroll, tax, scheduling, variations, purchase orders the lot. This was one of the reasons for choosing this software, the main reason for purchasing this software was because it is a desktop version not just on the cloud as most other packages are. > > **Cons**: The least thing i like about this software is the support subscription costs per year are too expensive they are around 14% of the initial purchase price. One thing that beams does not offer and we are looking to other software for is a client communication portal where clients can see the progress of their build and communicate selections variations etc. directly with us. > > Overall i am happy with the software and it has made administering the jobs easier and more professional. It definitely saves time in estimating jobs. ----- ### "SM" — 4.0/5 > **Samantha** | *19 February 2020* | Construction software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I mainly use the Accounts section and find it easy to use and navigate around. The reports you can generate are great. Completing the BAS using the Taxation Processing has made it easier for our Accountant. The Payroll Processing is simple and easy to use and STP reports generate with ease. > > **Cons**: Something simple but I find it frustrating I have to minimize every tab to get back to the main menu, it would be nice to be able have that as a tab too. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/140966/beams-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/140966/beams-software) ## 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 | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
