Pros

“Many of the functions feel intuitive, and it’s clear that a lot of thoughtful development has gone into each feature, with close attention to feedback from trades and estimators.”

Peter N.

Estimator

“The Support you get & the Availability to Design Electrical Plans”

Hamish O.

Director

“Its integration with Simpro and the tech support.”

Nick H.

Managing director

Pros

“The customizable assemblies and measurement tools make it easy to adapt to different project types, and the software has helped improve both the speed and consistency of our estimates. Although the interface could be modernized and cloud collaboration enhanced, it continues to be an effective solution for construction estimating.”

Caleb C.

Estimator- Project Manager

“What I liked most about PlanSwift was its speed and flexibility for performing digital takeoffs.”

Caleb C.

Estimator- Project Manager

“Exports smoothly into Excel and other estimating tools, bridging field detail with polished bid documents.”

Candida M.

CEO

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.”

Darren M.

Estimating Manager

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

John B.

Territory Manager

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

John B.

Territory Manager

Cons

“The plans are essentially just images, so you can't turn on/off layers in pdfs, you can't import design files directly and there is no 3d capability. While planswift has a "one click" auto takeoff, I have never found it reliable and have always reverted to doing it manually”

Andrew H.

Senior Engineering Estimator

“Integration with other construction management tools is somewhat limited, which can affect workflow efficiency for teams using multiple systems.”
