Thanks David! Your company is actually one of our earliest customers (since circa 2015!) and I'm thrilled that you're still getting value from the software!

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.

Completes take off on all matching symbols on all the drawings downloaded. Good support from the team.
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.
Ease of Use, Cloud Based, Symbol Editing, Speed of Operation, Intense Support
Have not found anything I dislike about CountFire, and CountFire has already given me a link to suggest changes.

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

How much faster it is to quantify items now than it was before. its accuracy in auto quantifying. the service is very responsive with any issues.
I would like if the software could bring in a option to compare revision drawing over existing therefore able to see the changes faster

So far so good
The ease and simplicity of the program. The program half's the take off time especially on larger projects
Would be great for the programme to have an auto calc feature for cable lengths ie: distance between L1 light fittings

Very good overall experience really, once keyboard shortcuts are mastered the process became quite straight forward.
The ease of integration, no software to install locally.
Nothing negative to report after a short trail period

This software has enabled us to dramatically reduce the time spent completing takeoffs and populating excel sheets.
We honestly cannot fault this software as of yet.

Doesn't foster a full familiarity with a project and attention to detail.
It has a lot of potential in speeding up estimating process
Less time means less interaction with individual jobs.

Phil really helped me through the process and was willing to help out if I got stuck or had any questions.
I feel the ease of using the software was critical.
I really don't have any complaints about it. I just need to use it more often to get more comfortable with it

Has been great, the customer support has been outstanding
The best feaute is the estimating once all kits are created gives a great cost to labour break down
Just a more in depth tutorial would be idealonce someone has signed on
