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

“The team continues to make improvements without sacrificing the original framework. When you have a problem, you talk to real people, with true expertise with the project.”

Joline Z.

President

“the ease of pricing each bid item, being able to make your own crews, haul factor has helped out enormously, being able to see the cost and able to add profit nargins and overhead, truly makes it 60% faster”

Josh G.

Owner

“Hirtut went out of her way to solve our issue with moving data and went through the back end of the program to make my life easy!”

Andrew A.

VP of Business Development

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

“The biggest downside is that the system is not always fast and some processes require more steps than expected.”

Allison M.

Manager

“Not really built for our work and how we bid.”

Jon L.

“I've been using the service for 8 years and I find little carrots all the time I did not know were in the program.”
