The customer service experience is fantastic. They are always happy to jump on the phone or Zoom with you to solve issues and get you running at 100% again.

Operations Manager 

Smart guide has been a great addition - and it's great being able to create new symbols as required and the support is FANTASTIC.

Technical Manager

Overall the interaction with Groundplan and in particular [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been fantastic, the training sessions we had were very informative and a lot of fun.

Electrical Coordinator 

We look more professional going to site meetings with the plans already done up and very clear to read. The program itself is amazing and very easy to use which is just what everyone needs.

Estimator/QS

Help tab is also very helpful as it has all the information the user will need. The Ground plan team are always ready to help when you need them too.

Director

The product itself is brilliant and will save a heap of time when pricing jobs. The plans look really professional.

We do electrical layouts - great to be able to provide nice.

Groundplan is the best from solution to customer service.

Fast, accurate takeoffs with ease, and seamless integration with Simpro.

Very easy to learn and set-up, user friendly, will save a heap of time pricing jobs.

Electrical Drawer IT Support

An awesome product which could be world class.

Estimator

Unfortunately being cloud based when the internet is out I have to wait a while to continue work, first world problems.

Electrical Estimator

Easy to navigate, great customer service and third party integration with Simpro.

Just the user friendly aspects of the whole software. Very easy to learn and pick up on how to use it from the get go.

Project Manager

Nothing comes to mind about things I dislike about Groundplan.

Owner

Slightly difficult to manipulate symbols etcPlan preview could be biggerMan hours to enter individual symbols with no auto shuffle button for symbols.

I haven't found anything I don't like about the program - if I get stuck on trying to find something the team is only a message or zoom call away.

Scale the drawings, and do take-offs for cable, tray and conduits. Easily outsource the take-off and see what has been allowed for and if anything is missing.

One of the best and user-friendly tools out in the market

We love hearing how easy Groundplan is to use! Our team works hard to make our platform as user-friendly as possible, and our customer service team is always here to lend a helping hand. We hope you keep enjoying Groundplan!

Took a few months to learn it properly and set up templates but now I love it. I've recommended the program to a lot of people and I always suggest getting some one on one training and setting up templates and think about how you would most use it prior to the training. I did this and the trainer actually suggest more options that I now use almost every day. 

Best tool I have.

Hi Ryan, love to hear the amazing feedback. It's great to know that our one-on-one training and has made a significant difference in your workflow. 

We appreciate your recommendations to others, too! We love when our happy customers can recommend our platform to others. It shows just how big of a difference we can make. Thanks!

Even if you're a Groundplan wizard, you're bound to learn a thing or two with the free training.

Fantastic- Used for a long time. I would say im an active promoter. 

A review 

Thanks for taking the time to write a review Paul. It's always appreciated. Also thanks for being an active promoter. So great.

I've asked Support to reach out to show you how to clean up the PDF. It's something you can certainly do.

Be sure to take advantage of the one hour free training. Even seasoned users are surprised at what they learn. 

Fast response

Our Support team sure are popular!
Thanks for the feedback Simon.

We look more professional going to site meetings with the plans already done up and very clear to read. The program itself is amazing and very easy to use which is just what everyone needs!

This is great feedback, thanks Dan. 
Stay tuned for that request of yours. ;) 

Overall the interaction with Groundplan and in particular [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been fantastic, the training sessions we had were very informative and a lot of fun. 
Groundplan will be helping us grow as a business, developing relationships with plumbers by giving them pipe layouts that will maximise the efficiency of their installations.

Maximising Pipe Layout Plans

Extremely happy I have tried other estimating software over the past 15 years and nothing has come close.

Groundplan is a must have...

From day one the team has been an  awesome help with an awesome solution that works out with great customer feedback. 

Groundplan is the best from solution to customer service.....

Being an electrical contracting company, counting symbols off a plan can be tiring on the eyes as well as problematic if you miss something you did not see.

Using Groundplan has saved me printing off paper plans and hoping I can see all the symbols. Being able to zoom right into the plan and see everything has been a blessing on my eyes. No more need for the magnifying glass!

If your a Simpro user, Groundplan is a must as all your pre-builds are synced with Groundplan, so no double entry.
