Quentin O
QS Estimator
4.0

Quentin O.: Okay. My name is Quentin. My job title is Estimator/Senior QS. We have around 30 employees, and my rating for STACK is four out of five. We use it for a combination of things, but primarily we use it for measuring and estimation purposes. So if we're tendering jobs, if we're pricing variations, if we're monitoring changes. I find it quite useful for construction changes during the course of construction where the architects may or may not bubble changes and we can put the overlays in place, and things that have changed distinctly will then flash red. So it's very useful for that as well. Identifying changes in the full construction set, because again, sometimes the architects will just issue a full construction set and not tell you that there are changes from the tender set, so then we can price and pick up those changes accordingly. I like the fact that it's browser-based, so it's web-based. I can use it from anywhere in the world. That is probably the single most useful feature that it has, or the way it's been constructed. Probably from my point of view, the single feature I dislike the most is that it's American-based and that everything defaults to imperial rather than metric. It's easy to overcome, or relatively easy to overcome, but everything does default to imperial rather than metric. And if you haven't got your settings right, then every time you upload things, then it will default. That's probably my single biggest pet hate.
