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

“Easy bid management, good project visibility, Simple, user-friendly interface, Communication with GCs, Document access in one place, Helps grow network, Notifications & updates”
SK

Shameer K.

Estimator and Project Manager

“We primarily use it for the measurement and counting tools to build our material lists for duct wrap and pipe insulation.”
gm

garrett m.

Vice president

“I love the tabs at the top of the screen to show you the project info, files, and even which GCs are bidding the project.”
LA

Lori A.

Administrative Assistant

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.”
SD

SERGIO D.

SENIOR ESTIMATOR

Cons

“The navigation within the plan viewer can sometimes feel a bit laggy when handling high-resolution MEP files with many layers.”
gm

garrett m.

Vice president

“They allow estimating companies to have access to planhub so they can use the platform to spam everyone....EVERY DAY.”
NL

Nathalie L.

Project Manager

“It is difficult to find the architecturals or structurals or just the plan set because many of the names on files are in code and don't make sense.”
