Minimal features for essential purposes" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 March 2021* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Clean interface, very low cost compared to competitors, simple to use, great future potential > > **Cons**: Laborious initial deployment and very limited reporting options as of now > > Budget4Cast helped organizing projected expenses against actual expenses. Very helpful in keeping a large project organized\! ----- ### "budget4cast Review" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *3 November 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Budget4Cast is a one-of-a-kind software solution that allows simple and efficient, yet powerful and comprehensive management of project financials. It meets the needs of our development projects both small (\<$5M) and large (\>$100M) and it’s simplicity allows us to spend more time managing the project, and less time wasted on remedial data entry tasks. > > **Cons**: It's a catch 22, because the software is so easy to use and efficient, sometimes there are features that we wish existed but do not. Reporting exports could be a bit more professional and customizable to allow for them to be used client facing. > > Software is meant to be increase efficiency, and Budget4Cast checks that box with flying colors. ----- ### "Easy to use Budgeting software" — 3.0/5 > **Rachel** | *3 November 2020* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to implement and use. Did not have all the levels of approvals in similar software. > > **Cons**: Not enough options for reporting and not strong in accounting features > > overall a positive experience. Able to work around most of the deficiency of the system. ----- ### "B4C - Review" — 4.0/5 > **Geoff** | *10 November 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the flexibility to update and make changes to entries on contracts and payables. > > **Cons**: I don't like the project summary page, it has way too much information and then at the same time not the essential information that I need for my uses. It doesn't even fit on the default page size. > > Overall I like the software, however my previous software was so restrictive that it seems like a major improvement. There are a few functional issues that make the software not too user friendly. But at the same time, it is customizable and changeable to allow for quick corrections and creation. ----- ### "Tanner Brown, NV5" — 5.0/5 > **Tanner** | *19 November 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The report generation and disbursement register tools are most useful to me. Being able to upload documents during data entry and download them as attachments to budget reports or draws is a major time saver. > > **Cons**: Moving between modules causes some lag as the contents populate, which is dead time waiting for data entry fields to be useable. This is especially noticeable on larger projects where Actual Costs can take just enough time to load that it's annoying. It's also tough to track a single budget with two separate funding sources. My solution has been to run a separate budget for each funding source, which is not ideal. > > I primarily use Budget4Cast as an Owner's Rep, tracking the budget and giving monthly reports on budget health, current change orders, pending change orders, reallocations of savings/overruns. Sharing budget viewing permissions adds a great level of transparency. And of course having a intuitive tool to generate draws is especially useful. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/184483/budget4cast?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/184483/budget4cast) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
