Pros

“Can accelerate and improve the efficiency of my work so that I can achieve the expected goals. Although for the price it might be a bit burdensome for me who is a freelancer.”

“The material library and those that you can create seem incredibly real and you can integrate with lots of plugins.”

Favio R.

Project Architect

“I've watched countless tutorials over the last several years to understand how each feature affects the outcome.”
LW

Lindsay W.

Owner

Pros

“Hover is the best program I have seen for siding design and for acquiring accurate measurements for all the different facets of the home.”
KG

Kevin G.

Project Consultant

“Simplicity, to measure a entire property in minutes, efficiently, the accurancy is also perfect for any estimate needed, we even quote windows off the base measurement ( always hard measure them at the end before ordered, put perfect for estimate)”
SM

Steven M.

Owner

“Sometimes takes too long When homeowners complete job, tailor what products they can select to what we offer ONLY. If I do a 3D model for a customer, that should be able to transfer over to what the customer can see as well. ”
BB

Brad B.

Design Consultant

Cons

“The only thing that is a problem is the steep learning curve required to master this tool.”
SM

Swapnil M.

Architect & BIM Manager

“It is difficult to learn. And you might get overwhelmed with so many options when you first see the interface.”
VK

Vikash K.

Architect

“It is not very intuitive, if it is the first rendering engine you use you will need to see tutorials for everything.”

Sofia B.

Architecture and programming student

Cons

“In the past, I have experienced minor glitches in uploading and using the app, but typically only with poor cell reception.”
ZM

Zion M.

Project Manager, Estimator

“once I begin designing, I lose measurements on the 3D view and have trouble getting back to the original design at times”
BS

Brandon S.

Owner

“Both of these issues have caused shortages of materials on ordering the incorrect materials for the pitch of the roof.”
