Brighton, UK – Construction companies come in a variety of sizes and specialities. This means that a construction management software programme would have to be functionally versatile to cater to them all. In this regard, BuilderStorm is the ideal software for a construction company of any size."Having had experience in the building industry over decades, we at BuilderStorm understand intrinsically the requirements of the industry", says James Sandwick, co-founder of the company and the IT expert.
"BuilderStorm comes with every feature a construction company might need, with the additional option of adding features or creating a bespoke package", he says. "What's more, with our clear pricing, there is no risk of being over-charged for a substandard product."
He elaborates that the size of the company may affect the requirements in many ways. "A large company may have several projects running simultaneously, and each project has a separate team. All of those projects would need to be working concurrently on the program. On the other hand, a small company might only work on one project at a time with a small team", he says.
A construction management software package that cannot adapt to the requirements of a large variety of companies will lose out on business, according to Mr Sandwick. However, because of the range of needs each company may have, it is not possible to have a one-size-fits-all program either.
BuilderStorm offers customised options for the software. A company can decide what features it wants or can do without, creating an almost bespoke product. BuilderStorm also does bespoke programs for an additional charge, but even the generic product is quite versatile.
"We do like to get feedback from our clients on what they would like to see added to our product. Any suggestions that we feel would make our software better are added on in our updates for no extra cost. Additionally, our bespoke service is, of course, available at a very competitive fee", he explains.
The pricing is where a construction project management software programme would show its true worth. According to Mr Sandwick, no one should have to pay for features they do not need. BuilderStorm comes with four different price packages and a fifth bespoke package with a price based on what the company wants.
He also quite vehemently stresses the importance of a clear pricing structure. He says, "If a project management software company asks you for your business's turnover before giving you a quote, let that be a red flag."
Such companies will always base the price of their program on what they think you can afford to pay and not what their product is truly worth. "Always look for a product with pricing based on its features, not your worth", he asserts.
"BuilderStorm not only comes with transparent pricing but is also very adaptable according to any company's needs", says Mr Sandwick. "A company can choose a package which allows unlimited users and unlimited projects, or one project with 20 users, and pay for exactly what they pick."
