A Must-Have for Professionals
Since using PowerPoint, I have noticed a significant change and the way I am viewed within my organization. My peers and superiors have both noticed how confident I am while conducting quality presentations, and for that I have PowerPoint to thank.
Pros
I love that PowerPoint has several options when it comes to slide design. Presentations can be very bland, so adding a design that's aesthetically pleasing is extremely helpful when I'm trying to grab the attention of my peers and superiors.
Cons
I have not had any bad experiences with PowerPoint.

Day to Day with BuildingConnected
Awesome!
Pros
The leveling section is such a time saver. We can look at everything one screen, make adjustments and go with a final number on bid day seamlessly. A real time saver.
A great tool to show owners and clients that we have done our homework and selected the lowest most qualified bidder
Cons
Be sure you have a strong network and a strong network connection. As the day wears on it can be slow down at bit

Not in love with this
Pros
I like how this software is widely used with General Contractors. it makes it easy to download plans, specs, and upload quotes.
Cons
I do not like how it automatically will start invites from all GC's in your state. Each time I try to unsubscribe to a GC nothing happens.

Building Connected has increased our business
We started using BC in 2018 and more than doubled our revenue the following year. Add BC was a large contributor to that success.
Pros
Easiest and best way we have found to send and track bid invitations to a targeted recipient.
Cons
There are no enough key work options in the bid package to cover all of the bid I need.
Alternatives Considered
iSqFt for General ContractorsReasons for Switching to BuildingConnected
We still use the other product. They are good for mass invites but BC is better for targeting and tracking bidders.
