Platforms like Procore, JobTread, Buildertrend, and FlipperForce have caught my eye, but I want to make sure I’m considering the best fit for my needs.Here’s what I’m looking for in a solution:Cost Estimation: A tool that accurately calculates material and labor costs.Project Oversight: Features to manage tasks, schedules, and budgets efficiently from start to finish.Vendor Integration: Real-time updates on pricing and inventory from suppliers like Home Depot or other suppliers.Material Suggestions: Automation or recommendations based on the rehab’s scope and specifications.Labor Planning: Tools to predict labor hours and staffing requirements for each phase of the project.For those of you who’ve used any of these platforms (or others), I’d love to hear your thoughts:Which software have you found most effective and why?
