Andrew has been the answer to our long‑term struggles with BuilderTrend. Our team finally has a clear, confident understanding of the software thanks to his unmatched knowledge of the program and the home‑building industry.
He explains things in a way that actually makes sense, meets us where we are, and helps us build processes that work in the real world, not just in theory. His patience, professionalism, and ability to simplify complex workflows have made a huge difference in our day‑to‑day operations.
If you're looking for someone who truly knows BuilderTrend inside and out and can elevate your team's efficiency, Andrew is the person you want supporting you. Highly recommended.
Andrew is a pro with all things Buildertrend. He helped us embed our processes within the system and are taking them to the next level. I look forward to additional project support from him. Highly recommended!
Our organization had been utilizing Buildertrend almost to a fault, so we needed someone that had experience with the program as well as real-life construction experience to help us maximize our company's potential.
Process automation, understanding the customer journey in a construction environment, and attention to detail are some of the strengths Andrew brings to the table for any construction contractor. If you are trying to get on top of all the details of your business, get on the phone with him for 20 minutes. He will teach you a lot and give you some next steps to getting uber organized.
Andrew sat down with us twice a week and walked us through the estimating process. It was exactly what we needed. His knowledge of technology and his background in construction is a unique niche. I highly recommend his services to all contractors using construction management software.
Andrew is extremely detailed and organized. We would not have been able to use the platform in such a comprehensive manner without his help!
Custom Craft Consulting was absolutely worth the investment. Andrew helped us clean up Buildertrend, job costing, and workflows fast, and in a way that actually stuck with the team. What I appreciated most was the leadership support. They didn't just set things up and disappear. They guided decisions, explained the "why," and helped us move quickly without cutting corners. The ROI was obvious almost immediately in better visibility, fewer issues, and less back-and-forth internally. If you want results, speed, and a consultant who thinks like an owner, Custom Craft Consulting delivers.
Andrew is an excellent communicator and a motivated asset for anyone looking to refine their construction processes. I've worked at the executive level for multiple building firms and keep coming back to Andrew for advice, guidance, and consulting work. I am an expert user. When I can't figure something out, or want to know if this is the best way to use it, I call Drew.
Andrew is amazing. He is always willing and ready to help with any and all questions, concerns and needs. Switching to construction management software would be almost impossible without him.
We wanted an onsite consultant that worked in the construction industry and was a construction software expert. Andrew came to Fresno, CA and worked with us for 3 days. Very pleased with his attention to detail and everything he's helped us with over the past 8 months.
If you're an operations manager or project manager and don't have the time to learn, train, or set up your CMS, you should talk with Andrew. He will implement and streamline your processes to run super smooth. His experience as a construction project manager was a huge bonus.
