Pros

“The platform is primarily optimized for the North American market, which shows in certain default measurement units and technical terminologies that require manual adjustment at the start.”

Ricky S.

VP World Class Maintenance Maintenance and Reliability

“I particularly like the "Item & Assembly" structure—it ensures that when I measure a wall, I'm not just getting linear footage, but a full breakdown of studs, drywall, and insulation.”

FHIDMANF F.

ceo

“For example if I want to take off a concrete slab. If I use volume 2D type measurement, I’m able to takeoff a polygon area and set the thickness. When I go to estimates I only have the option to price via CY.”

Kyle S.

Operations Manager

Pros

“PO’s could be better at adding additional lines without it creating new items in actual costing, and not hve to save exit, then add to existing order, if there is 20 different items to allocate to that one line”

Mitch S.

Construction manager

“I also really like that I can link files and data across the different tools, which helps keep everything connected and easy to track without errors.”

Natalie S.

Senior immigration Advisor

“The takeoff tools and cost tracking features help reduce manual effort and improve consistency across bids.”

Dario W.

Estimator

Cons

“It does not entirely capture how we process our estimates and does not have the flexibility of just exporting it as an Excel sheet and transferring the takeoffs to a workbook.”

Matthew B.

Exterior Estimator

“It works but AI will make it obsolete for many customers if you don’t stay ahead of the curve and start offering customer focused solutions. Why would I pay these huge subscriptions otherwise”

Rick C.

Cheif Operations Officer

“Sometimes the platform feels a little slow, although it may be related to my internet connection or when using a VPN.”

SERGIO D.

SENIOR ESTIMATOR

Cons

“It can be a little annoying when making reports takes a few extra clicks and some small problems happen from time to time.”
