Pros

“We are able to manage estimating, scheduling, job costing, time tracking, invoicing, and project documentation without needing multiple software programs.”

Keara H.

Office Manager

“The platform is highly customizable, allowing us to tailor it to our workflows, and the customer support team has been excellent throughout the implementation process.”

Keara H.

Office Manager

“The platform makes it easy to manage estimates, schedules, documents, daily logs, time tracking, and communication all in one place.”

Bayleigh R.

Project Coordinator

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

“Additionally, while the mobile interface is functional, there are occasional inconsistencies in loading speeds when switching between complex modules—such as moving from detailed cost reports to daily logs—which can impact efficiency during busy site visits.”

Ilkin B.

Project Manager

“The only thing I wish I could do, was have the system send and email (invoice or estimate or whatever) and the email shows that its coming from me instead of contractor foreman. If I forget to tell the client, they dont recognize the email address and they dont open it.”

Selicio A.

Project Manager

“The biggest issue for me was reliability and the amount of time I lost dealing with bugs and integration problems, especially with QuickBooks.”

Matt P.

Owner

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.”
