People say the software makes on-screen takeoff and measurement fast and accurate, with a learning curve shallower than full CAD tools. Many also value how easily custom assemblies and pricing structures can be built for different project types.
What The Community Is Saying
- The Highs
- The Lows
A recurring complaint is that the interface feels dated next to newer competitors, and several users describe slow or inconsistent customer support. Larger files reportedly cause slowdowns or crashes, and the desktop-only design limits real-time collaboration.
- The Verdict
A capable, fast takeoff tool for construction estimators, but budget time to work around an old-fashioned interface and don't expect quick support if something breaks.
Pros
- Automates detailed material and labor calculations.
- Integrates directly with electronic blueprints.
- Reduces takeoff time significantly.
- Improves calculation accuracy.
- Allows easy updates to cost and labor rates.
Cons
- Requires digital blueprints for initial import.
- No mention of cloud collaboration features.
