Hamish O.

Director

Pros

“I wish that they were moving more into the AI space, plan and spec review to help automate the entire process on one platform vs having to use other platforms to fill that gap.”
CM

Chris M.

President

“along with storing the job specific items/assemblies thorough the job so you can always reference back or use the same ones again.”

“Nothing big so far maybe just the singing time it takes little time to log in some times you have to click it twice in the browser in order launch the program”
FB

Fredy B.

PM

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

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.”
