Pros

“The scanning feature is great and can really help reduce time, also the feature to reconfigure your selected item is a nice touch.”
EW

Ethan W.

Assistant Quantity Surveyor

“That you can measure drawings and it collects most of the items you need to count on multiple drawings at once”
JD

Jon D.

Senior Bid Estimator

“Once set up properly, it provided a reliable platform for producing professional estimates and helped streamline the tendering process.”
JH

Joe H.

Junior Estimator

Cons

“The only thing I don't like and our company chooses not to use is the count assist feature, This is only because the PDF plans issued icoms are note all eactly the same.”
DM

Darren M.

Estimating Manager

“I wasn't keen on the way that Groundplan managed drawings and different scales for the drawings.”
JB

John B.

Territory Manager

“It also lacked a toolbox for standard, repeatable measurements.”
