cmBuilder.io Reviews & Product Details

cmBuilder is an extremely good medium to communicate what is happening when on site to anyone. I have used it in precontract tender planning and sequencing, traffic management and logistical plans, and for construction planning and space proofing.

My favourite use to date was to use cmBuilder as a communication tool to demonstrate to our client and the city council the progressive opening of a public river walkway which is a part of our project.

The user interface is well thought out and very intuitive to use, I have gotten many Project Engineers and Site Managers started in cmBuilder who had very little BIM experience prior, and they are all loving the tool and especially the resource library.

Finally, the cmBuilder Team, I have not received the same level of support and communication from any other software vendor. cmBuilder is a phenomenal tool, supported by an even better team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the interests of being completely honest and transparent, there are times where I am on a slow network and cmBuilder has a bit of lag, that is not their fault at all, it is just an occasional frustration. I cannot fault the cmBuilder platform in any way, I genuinely enjoy using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CM Builder enables us to plan projects efficiently in collaboration with both owners and subcontractors. The days of relying on 2D site utilization plans—which often led to confusing markups and overlooked important details—are behind us. With 3D capabilities, we can now highlight and address key components that might otherwise be missed. CM Builder has become an essential tool for managing our construction sites effectively and securing future projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few tools and features that I think would be valuable additions, but I trust that the team is actively working on introducing new capabilities to the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cmBuilder.io makes it easy to visualize complex construction logistics in 3D. I like how quickly I can create crane layouts, hoarding, access roads, and phasing sequences. The interface is user-friendly and cloud-based, so I can update and share models anytime. The animation tools are also great for presentations and tender submissions.

Sometimes the loading speed is slow for large models. It would be better if object snapping and alignment tools were more precise, like in BIM software. Also, a few more customization options for equipment models and textures would make visuals more realistic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very easy-to-use, intuitive program. From a VDC perspective, it has powerful uses for marketing/proposals. The team constantly makes improvements and allows users to have input into the process. I use this program for every single project I am involved in. The customer support is outstanding, and it integrates well with many of the programs I was already using. Getting started took one session. Implementation was a breeze.

Nothing at all to date. Any minor issues that have arisen, have been easily remedied with the help of the team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cmBuilder is incredibly intuitive—even for a seasoned Superintendent like me. The resource library is extensive and well-organized, and if something’s missing, their team will create it for you quickly. They’re constantly improving the platform, and it shows. Their commitment to making the user experience seamless and efficient is truly impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Depending on how detailed you want your plan to be, some things can take more time to create and make look realistic. But this may just be me getting too detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is an intuitive, easy-to-use, and comprehensive software that helps construction companies with site design and logistics analysis before starting project construction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For now, while it is being developed, it may not be economically accessible for small companies. However, the cost paid for the application today is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using CM Builder for just over a year now and have been incredibly impressed by its ease of use, graphics, paramtric resources and support from the CM Builder team. It has been game changing in terms of it's ability to integrate with Google maps and import 3D models to help stakeholders from all sides visualise construction methodologies and sequencing. It has become something I use everyday and I now try and integrate it into all of my projects. The CM Builder team have been incredibly supportive and responsive and helped develop training tailored to our organisational requirements thereby creating a really powerful tool that is extremely accessible for our project teams.

I'd like the ability to favourite resources and group them together but I really like how easily we can request new resources and features to address issues like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CMbuilder is great for multiple reasons:

- Great for communicating ideas for everyone involved.

- Continuously being developed and improved with features you can ask for.

- Support from the team is clear and responsive.

- Easy to use and learn from the get go, fun to experiment with.

- Takes markups to the next level by being clear and in 3D.

- A wide range of resources and features you can add to make your site more detailed or come to life.

- Implements well with DroneDeploy, Revit models look good and work well.

- Mocking something up for a workshop is great for everyone to look at and consider things not thought about before with a 2D Markup, also good to snapshot images for site engineers to show workers, travel routes for truck drivers to deliver materials, for shareholders and owners to comprehend easier among many other use cases.

There are some improvements that can be made to CMBuilder:

- Fair warning to anyone with poor internet or hardware, it may not function as well (CMBuilder is online so internet is required with good speed, the more you add the more pressure it applies to your PC, so make sure you have a good work laptop).

- Most features people would like are currently being worked on, (eg. multiple people working on one project, animation, visual change, etc.) just needs a lot of time to develop.

- The higher the tier for subscrption, the more you will get out of the program. One of the most vital features (requesting resources in a quick turnover time) is locked to the highest subscription, which might be difficult for some people/companies to pay for as it can be a bit pricey if you want this subscription plus more project space.

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with this company! Their customer support has been brilliant, and as we roll out their software across our business, we’re already seeing some amazing results. Highly impressed so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s honestly very little to dislike about the software so far! Any minor challenges we’ve faced have been quickly addressed, and the overall experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With cmBuilder, project teams can easily create 3D representations of logistics plans and get insights throughout the construction lifecycle. The product is a gateway for project teams to be onboarded and trained on BIM/VDC on a project. It is easy to use and support is always available from the customer success team.

We have become so used to using cmBuilder in such a short duration that project teams don't want to work without it. It is an integral part of our operations and has generated great value to our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
