Pros

“Easy bid management, good project visibility, Simple, user-friendly interface, Communication with GCs, Document access in one place, Helps grow network, Notifications & updates”

Shameer K.

Estimator and Project Manager

“We primarily use it for the measurement and counting tools to build our material lists for duct wrap and pipe insulation.”

garrett m.

Vice president

“I love the tabs at the top of the screen to show you the project info, files, and even which GCs are bidding the project.”

Lori A.

Administrative Assistant

Pros

“The customizable assemblies and measurement tools make it easy to adapt to different project types, and the software has helped improve both the speed and consistency of our estimates. Although the interface could be modernized and cloud collaboration enhanced, it continues to be an effective solution for construction estimating.”

Caleb C.

Estimator- Project Manager

“What I liked most about PlanSwift was its speed and flexibility for performing digital takeoffs.”

Caleb C.

Estimator- Project Manager

“Exports smoothly into Excel and other estimating tools, bridging field detail with polished bid documents.”

Candida M.

CEO

Cons

“The navigation within the plan viewer can sometimes feel a bit laggy when handling high-resolution MEP files with many layers.”

garrett m.

Vice president

“They allow estimating companies to have access to planhub so they can use the platform to spam everyone....EVERY DAY.”

Nathalie L.

Project Manager

“It is difficult to find the architecturals or structurals or just the plan set because many of the names on files are in code and don't make sense.”

Roby E.

Estimator

Cons

“The plans are essentially just images, so you can't turn on/off layers in pdfs, you can't import design files directly and there is no 3d capability. While planswift has a "one click" auto takeoff, I have never found it reliable and have always reverted to doing it manually”

Andrew H.

Senior Engineering Estimator

“Integration with other construction management tools is somewhat limited, which can affect workflow efficiency for teams using multiple systems.”
