Super Simple and Fast

Reviewed 8 years ago

I've used this tool for several months doing semi-automated counts. I've had great results. It's simple, fast and has a nice error checking mechanism to eliminate mistakes. Its everything I want it to be.

Easy to use once you get the basics correct

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Completes take off on all matching symbols on all the drawings downloaded. Good support from the team.

Cons

A problem when the symbols have numerous elements to them. Not having the accessories taken off when doing a containment take-off, having to go back and take them off as a point once completed the run.

Could not be happier with the support afforded to me during pre-sale justification, start-up, and now operations.

Pros

Ease of Use, Cloud Based, Symbol Editing, Speed of Operation, Intense Support

Cons

Have not found anything I dislike about CountFire, and CountFire has already given me a link to suggest changes.

Great time saver

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Autocount feature across multiple drawings requires only the selection of items from one drawing then autocount is completed across all drawings on in the package.

Cons

Autocount is somewhat unreliable so have to check very closely for any missed items, this however does not take long.

Electrical estimating made easier

Reviewed 4 years ago

So far so good

Pros

The ease and simplicity of the program. The program half's the take off time especially on larger projects

Cons

Would be great for the programme to have an auto calc feature for cable lengths ie: distance between L1 light fittings
