Pros

“Intuitive features, lots of options, i do like to cost per sf estimator”

“The least about this software I liked, was that the free trial was limited on fearures”

Personal Assistant

“Working on a medical university setting I find that the the program is good for basic costing but it is difficult to compare the complications of the environment that I work in, for example, I can be involved in project on campus in active lab spaces, medical equipment/chemical usage and storage, and even nuclear materials, RS means can not help with the complications that we deal with in these scenarios. ”

Sr. Project Manager

Pros

“Being able to pull up multiple plan sheets simultaneously, I can cross reference and input data from multiple sources without having to get out of one to get into the others. While tracing contours, sloping lines, subgrades, etc., vector points pop up ahead of where I've traced, making imputing the data faster and more accurate.”

Estimator-Project Manager

“Features like trench takeoff with reliable spoils/backfill quantities round out the package and make it a dependable tool for real‑world construction workflows.”

“Our customers love the 3D modeling of both the existing contours as well as the proposed contours. ”

Cons

“While it is a very detailed software, it's not very intuitive, nor easily self-taught.”
CS

Curtis S.

Owner/ Designer

“Depending on projects students need all data and the academic version RSMeans has does not work for our students.”
LL

Leena L.

Librarian

“With the move to the software I'm finding it doesn't really allow me to have a short cut into my purchased program. ”
AT

Alton T.

Architect

Cons

“Alot of the issues we experience are not fixed within a timely manner and negative elevations are not recognized.”

Project manager

“Some plans it doesn't pick up contour lines, so it takes a very long time to do a take-off.”

“Some times CAD files are complicated and takes too long to start working”
