Countfire is the only electrical estimating software built by electrical estimators for electrical estimators. Dramatically saving you time, resources and improving accuracy.
Archdesk works best for construction companies, specialist contractors and heavy industries.
We have found the software very easy to use, the support and backup is fantastic and the checking and reporting functions are great.
Every now and again you get a bad drawing where all the symbols are slightly different and its a pain. Just use manual count and safe yourself a lot of frustration.
Very good, , speed, excellent support , features user friendly with keyboard shortcuts helpful.
Price is on the high side. App can start to struggle when dealing with massive PDFs with lots of symbols.
Countfire has been a breeze from start to finish, the help team have always been on hand to help out and implementing and training on the software was seamless. I love countfire, you will too.
There is no 'back' button to help you correct mistakes - you have to rely on not saving changes which is not ideal.
I absolutely love the quick response from the members of the Countfire Staff. They are quick to respond and help resolve any issues you may have.
The downside is that there is alot to learn compared to doing it manually. It is getting better now i have used it for a few weeks, but as a new starter i struggled to begin with.
The financial dashboards give a good clear insight into how the spending on a project is going and in doing so helps to manage budgets and maximise profit.
Our Finance department loathes the system due the incredibly poor integration with Xero and inaccuracies the system causes.
We like how easy it is to use and tracks all of our projects in one place. It is a brilliant software to visually see where you are on every job in a snapshot.
It is the system of record for everything. I've worked at an organization before that didn't use it and life was miserable.
My overall experience has been very good, great support and Archdesk are always making improvements and listen to customer feedback.
It doesn't store the data you have to download it from Archdesk which causes problems when you are remote on a building site.
There is also a great program and scheduling section that again works nicely with the whole system. Relatively simple to use and the support system is great.
Of more concern is that the system fails in basic auditing and compliance. Staff were able to delete documents and evidence from the system without the Compliance Director being informed.
