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.”
RS

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.”
FF

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.”
KS

Kyle S.

Operations Manager

Pros

“I think the Alternative Bill feature should also allow users to modify item prices, not only quantities.”

Rahul D.

Worker

“The platform offers a transparent view of project costs, providing clarity on the factors influencing estimates and enhancing overall project management understanding.”

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.”
MB

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”
RC

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.”
