Key benefits of using Countfire

Countfire allows you to auto-count symbols across multiple PDF drawings, drastically reducing takeoff time while increasing accuracy.

Tools such as linear measurement, coverage areas and the ability to add items to drawings allow you to design your estimate as you go.

Countfire includes four separate stages of checking built into the process of completing a project to help ensure accuracy.

Move your takeoff into estimate in one-click, and start with an auto-populated estimate based on previous behaviour and products.

Automatically see and compare changes between specifications. Helping you to revise your drawings and pricing schedules, without having to start from scratch.

At the end of each project, Countfire automatically generates an Excel spreadsheet which shows project breakdowns, takeoff counts and pricing estimates.
