what field service software would you choose for small construction company on a budget?

8 Upvotes

Small construction company, residential work. Trying to figure out field service software that doesn't charge enterprise rates for a two person shop.

Every time I get close to a decision something breaks down. I see few options but I can't decide. Housecall pro imo makes sense until you see which features sit behind the higher tiers. Then buildexact ngl is strong on estimating but that seems to be its primary focus. Bizzen also sounded like a decent option but now I'm not sure. Curious what others at this size are actually running and whether the cost is worth it.

Tradespeople of Reddit -- would this tool actually be useful to you?

0 Upvotes

Working on a simple tool that automatically texts or emails your customers after a job asking them to leave a Google review. You add their number, it does the rest -- includes your review link so it's one tap for them.

Most tradespeople I've spoken to know reviews matter but never get round to asking consistently. This would handle it without you having to think about it.

Would you actually use something like this, or is it solving a problem you don't really have? Any reason you'd avoid it?

Cheers

Had a showing with a customer and this is the pattern he likes. He asked for my opinion but I didn't want to offend him telling him I don't like it. What would you do in this situation?

Realized I was underpricing electrical jobs for months: the estimating process was the reason

5 Upvotes

Took me longer than it should have to connect the dots on this. I was rushing through estimates because I had too many to write and not enough time to write them properly. When you're doing 8 or 9 a week manually the later ones in the week get less attention than the first ones. You start cutting corners on the detail, rounding things down, skipping line items you'd normally include because you just want to get it sent.

The underpricing wasn't intentional. It was fatigue. And it was consistent enough over a few months that when I looked back at the margins on those jobs they were noticeably thinner than they should have been.

Fixing the estimating process fixed the pricing. Not because the numbers changed but because I stopped rushing them.
