Software for the construction industry is uniformly terrible, Autodesk and Trimble are the big players and I’d be grateful if someone disrupted them.
There is a small amount of good construction software, Procore (project and document management) and Bluebeam (amazing pdf editor) are wonderful tools but the estimating software I use by Trimble is awful. Inconsistent UI, they use their own custom GUI elements instead of the built in Windows GUI elements, unclear interfaces, every UI/UX crime is present in it.
Autodesk isn’t going anywhere tho, basically every architect/engineer uses it (in commercial construction).

Everything being said about existing software in this post very much resonates with what we learned talking to hundreds of GCs. We want to change this.
