### "My measure square experience."

August 17, 2021

5.0

Measure for me has been a double edge sword. I have some issues. I hope and pray upper management and the powers that be get them worked out. But overall completely changed my company. And the presentation to my customers amazing. I have every plan on remaining a measure square customer. Recommend them to other companies that I associate with. As frustrated as I can get and changes that I think need to be made. It’s the support staff and technical support hands down that keep my business. I truly do love the overall feel and look of this software. I researched a ton. This still remains my number one choice.

Pros

Hands down the accuracy of our floor plans and measurements. The accuracy of our material ordering. Enabling us to come in lower than our competitors and the professionalism and how impressed our customers are with the software and diagrams

Cons

Very upset measure square does not support iOS!!! And you would think by know you guys would have evolved into incorporating iOS. Desktop version making me purchase another software program windows program parallel just to be able to run my measure square. And I’m always having issues. Second your software from one aspect is user friendly and then is completely frustrating. Especially the desktop version. I am not a computer wiz although I know my way around the office. Most of my software I can problem solve. Not measure square very difficult. Think god for an amazing support staff. I cannot say enough about the support team at measure square. They put up with my attitude and my frustration. Never hang up the phone or have an attitude even when I’m completely pissed off. Calm me down walk me through make me understand what I’m doing. Then all of the sudden the software seems completely user friendly.

Reason for choosing MeasureSquare

Omg so many other companies wanted us to by there iPads there computers. Eliminate my entire quick books program. I just purchased brand new 12.9 iPad pros. Was nicer by far the garbage they where pushing and wanted me to trade in. Second was the appearance of the product. Measure square when I’m done with my measure dropping in my product and labor lines. When I email to my client just a much more professional look. By far better than your competition.

### "M2, excellent product to get your flooring business started."

August 12, 2021

5.0

Amazing support from Tech team - if you cannot connect when you phone, they always, always call back! Estimation made easy.

Pros

The simplicity to import PDF's or create site take offs.

Cons

Not a closed system with a schedule component & accounting. No stock tracking.

Reason for choosing MeasureSquare

Site drawings are the critical instrument when creating a quote or job. No one does this better than M2.

### "DeSoto Floor Covering's Secret Weapon"

August 20, 2021

5.0

Love it! I don't know what I would do without it. When I think of an idea and look into whether its offered in the software, then 98% of the time its already either available or its being worked on. I am actually not likely to tell my competitors as much about it in this market because I do feel it gives me an advantage over them.

Pros

I cant really say because there are so many, but if I'm made to pick a couple it would be estimating roll goods and perimeter products.

Cons

I don't like how you have to buy several licenses as you go. I wish that older customers could get better pricing and that additional users cost less and less.

Reason for choosing MeasureSquare

Integration has probably been more of a retention reason than initial reason for signing up. MeasureSquare just just seemed to fit my though process. The interface was friendly and attractive. It checked all the boxes and even pushed me to learn more =. Very happy and thanks for offering the product!

### "James - Sonata Group Inc"

August 12, 2021

5.0

Almost all benefits from M2, it would just be easier to list the issues: #1. Accounting software integrations seem sub-par compared to in-house accounting systems. My boss is actually still looking into using RFMS or Jobrunner because the transition from takeoff to accounting is so seamless. This will not be a real problem for residential users, but commercial companies will find this transition to be invaluable. #2. Large projects are tough in m2. The system for scrolling through tabs should be simpler. The vertical list of all pages is easy to scroll through, but it would be nice to have it up all the time, more like a toggle on/off instead of click-to-activate. Also it would be nice to have a folder structure for the plan pages. "Architectural plan" folder, "Interior Design" folder, and a "Specs" folder. This is becoming more key now that you have implemented the highlighter: people like to highlight their specs and include some pages in the screenshots.

Pros

The wall feature is so intuitive. This provides the user with the chance to actually build a 3d version of the job while doing their takeoff. This is helpful in so many ways, but the main one is that it helps catch mistakes that could easily be missed if using a 2d takeoff software.

Cons

The product database system. It's not bad, but other companies have seemingly better solutions for this part of the takeoff. We need to display all line items on our bid: each parent item with its addons underneath. The only way to get this done in M2 is to build out multiple assemblies for each item type, with addons that are unique to their parent item. This resulted in a lot of time setting up, but that isnt even the issue. Our item system is just way more convoluted than it needs to be, because we cant simply create a "Ceramic Tile" assembly, and use that one over and over again. As a side note: not being able to have two separate items with the same name seems counter intuitive. We have found ways around all of this in Excel, but I would think that many companies could benefit by making the product database a little more flexible. I could talk about this forever, shoot me an email if youd like.

Reason for choosing MeasureSquare

It seems to be a better product, but not by much. We are still considering RFMS because of their accounting software. You can access the item database from accounting directly from the takeoff software. This is really huge when it comes to making all of the post-bid documents such as Purchase orders and Transmittals.

### "MeasureSquare 8 the undisputed"Rock Star "of Commercial Flooring /Painting/Countertop Software."

August 12, 2021

5.0

I find that whatever I am doing in the floorcovering world, M8 is the base of my workflow for estimating or presentation advertising tutoring; it's my go-to tool in 49 years as a flooring professional. Nothing is as dear to me as this software.

Pros

Measuresquare is a fast-loading mega powerhouse of Floorcovering estimating genius from beginning to end you can tell it was made by flooring professionals for flooring professionals. Anyone can start on M8 from the most basic "Box painter"all the way to power users and disrupters. All the tools for exceptional estimates and renders are available. The 3d render is a godsend for the 2d impaired visualizing complicated fascia and behind-the-scenes calculation on slab layouts . The ability to automatically attribute things like weld rod or cove sundries is far ahead of its time.

Cons

True mastery is not easily achieved like all thorough brilliant software (Auto cad, Photoshop, Sketch up); the sheer magnitude of options can take time.

### "Residential Estimating Review"

August 24, 2021

4.0

Overall, MeasureSquare is great, but there is definitely room to improve for the reasons I stated above. The old version of MeasureSquare did not snap to points when tracing prints so I'm not sure why the new version was made to do that. I would have thought this would be an optional setting but apparently it is not. I have contacted you regarding this and was told this cannot be changed. A lot of time is wasted trying to fix this on every print. Not very efficient.

Pros

It is fairly easy to figure out how things work in it. I like being able to alter material sizes and colors and waste factors and customizing drawing lines and colors.

Cons

1) I do NOT like how the program automatically snaps you to certain points while tracing a floor plan. I have to constantly zoom in to get to the point on the line that I want to click on - the program is constantly wanting to go to a point that I do not want to go to. This wastes a lot of time. 2) #2 Time Waster: During importing prints, you have to scale each page separately. You cannot scale the entire print (multiple pages) at once. 3) I would like if we could draw floating corner benches/seats in showers in 3D. That is the only reason we cannot use this program for 3D drawings. We would LOVE to be able to use one program for all of our drawing needs instead of using two!

### "ICP Review on Measure Square"

December 22, 2022

5.0

Measure Square is a great software for our construction company. We use it for every take off we do. I cant see us switching to any other software.

Pros

What I like most about the software is the auto estimating / phasing. The way it calculates carpet cuts is fairly good so we don't have to manually do that anymore. Duplicating and manipulating files/drawings is very easy to do in this sofeware.

Cons

What I like least about this software is it can be laggy sometimes due to the size of the project. I also wish that creating patterns was easier. I don't always get exactly what i need and sometimes that messes with the quantities.

### "Measure Square is the only software you need for your company."

August 17, 2021

5.0

Measure Square has cut our takeoff time in half from the previous software that we used.

Pros

Measure Square walked the company through a really simple training process. Most of our employees were up and running on the first day seeing the software.

Cons

We don't have any complaints. Every employee enjoys using this software.

### "Measure Square Commercial Estimating software"

August 20, 2021

5.0

Love it overall. An invaluable asset for any business involved in the estimating process as it saves time in estimating and material waste on each project.

Pros

The takeoff and estimating features are extremely beneficial when all the parameters are set up properly. This makes any changes made to the project much easier and efficient. I use the 3D feature extensively to be sure I am capturing all the products on the floors and the walls and is a complimentary aid to send the contractor/owner.

Cons

I would like to see a better wall layout when printing the Layout sheets. I would like the option to be able to print out the walls for each room laid out the same way as you see it when clicking "view wall" in the program, rather than being on the side. If I remember correctly, the older FEP programs had that feature.

### "Outstanding software"

August 13, 2021

5.0

The take-off and finish plans we provide to our sales force are very easy to read and we have had great response from them concerning how impressed the end-user is with the documentation.

Pros

The accuracy of the take-off, the take-off documents that are generated by the software are extremely easy to read.

Cons

I have been using the Measure Square software for many years and any features that I felt needed improvement have been addressed in the latest version. I can honestly say I have no complaints.

Reason for choosing MeasureSquare

Even though Calidus is a very good product and widely used I fell that Measure Square was a superior product.

### "Pretty good Product, but needs some tweaks."

August 17, 2021

5.0

Pros

Ease of Copying Room/Wall Products/Profiles--Big time-saver. Many nice features--Like "Underlayment". Great graphics. I still don't know where the "Flip a Room along the X or Y axis" tool is. It's great to have so many tools, I just don't know where to find them.

Cons

Elevation Tool difficult to use--for Grand Stairways/Auditoriums. I'd like to see a less cumbersome method of drawing Auditorium Stairs which have all tiers covered with vinyl tile or carpet. Rather than "nesting" various tools in "buttons" like "Shape/Edit" button, showing all of the tools singularly would be very helpful. I haven't used many of the tools because I cannot find them! I would like to see the "Set Self-Coving" tool default to the last height entered. i.e. 6" Manipulating cuts on SV or Carpet Rolls is a bit rugged. I'd like to see moving cuts more user-friendly.

### "So far the best software I've used"

August 23, 2021

4.0

Overall, i feel this is better then most of the other flooring software's on the market. The development team seems to make it better with each update.

Pros

It is easy to learn, use and much more versatile then many other programs.

Cons

There are some glitches. Calculations are not always reliable, such as; flash cove. Also, the software makes some assumptions that are not clear or can cause value to be under estimated.

August 12, 2021

5.0

Great software. Each update improves on the last

Pros

iOS Software is easy to use. Integration with laser measurer seamless.Very forgiving isf you make a mistake to simple to correct.

Cons

Windows commercial version a bit buggy. Windows integration with laser measurer temperamental at times. Desktop version amazing. Wouldn't take the windows version on a site measure. If you make a mistake it is faster to delete the room and start again than to try and fix.

Reason for choosing MeasureSquare

Ease of use and flexibility of the product. Price (originally before subscription) model).

Overall measure squared is an intuitive program that helps our company quickly and accurately calculate material need and layouts.

Pros

This product has a very easy learning curve, it does a good job of getting out of the way when all you want to do is focus on getting your takeoffs done. There are tips that flash on the bottom of the screen to help you with commands depending on the task you are trying to achieve.

Cons

### "M2 Review "

August 27, 2021

5.0

Overall I am a big fan of M2, like working with the program on a daily bases. my company has adopted M2 as our estimating software companywide.

Pros

I work with M2 daily and like almost all of the features within the program. I love the fact that I can show the installers the areas and elevations in 3D. Building patterns is done with ease in most cases, I like the fact that I can take off projects in phases and estimate by tab. using the hot keys allows me to be more efficient and get my work done quicker. i would recommend this program to any one working in the flooring industry.

Cons

there are a couple things that I would like to see improved on such as room numbering. Dividers are an issue is some cases but I have managed to find work arounds.

August 12, 2021

5.0

Very good experience and will continue to use M2 for the foreseeable future.

Pros

Easy to use and user friendly. The customer support is fantastic. We call Kevin on a regular basis and he is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. The support is worth the cost in itself.

Cons

Customizing the "assemblies" on how we addon labor and installation materials to specific products can be difficult at times. We have had to get creative with work arounds, but MS is always improving and appreciates customer input.

Reason for choosing MeasureSquare

Cost was an initial factor. We wanted to make sure it was worth the investment. There was a trial period so we thought we would give it a shot. The customer support is what sold us.

A huge help to estimating and quoting, saves time and no problems with accuracy on the draws. Saving to the cloud is good feature.

Pros

I have used this software for over 4 years now, the option to transfer plans from Ipad to PC is fantastic. The accuracy of each drawing is a huge draw card for quoting, estimating and installing

Cons

Some of the smaller drawings can get overwhelmed with measurements, the cut sheet layout can be rather hectic/unorganized. Putting the the cut overlay of sheet products on the floor plan as an option would be a great update.

MeasureSquare is the preferred software of our estimators and most of our clients. As an estimating service, the acceptance of the software means that the work can get done quicker and more efficiently because the estimators are not mentally fighting against the work.

Pros

1\. The companies responsiveness to customers' needs is the top benefit. 2. The software is easy and quick to learn. 3. The job summary and elevations for wall tile are easy to follow 4. Integration with Spec-Intel

Cons

When creating the totals, the tabs should calculate independently and then sum together.

Reason for choosing MeasureSquare

Responsiveness of company is the key reason. They listen to their customers and respond promptly. There software has been reliable and provides the information that we need in a clear and concise manner.

My overall experience has been great for obtaining quantities in the field or via pdf mini plans.

Pros

I love the simplicity of use and how clean the software is. I have tried many over the years and Measure Square is at the top of my list for ease of use and functionality.

Cons

The process of getting the quantities is great, but once the quantities are completed managing overhead and profit percentages/margins need to have some work done as well as the process of creating the quote and the visual on the final quote.

December 12, 2017

5.0

I have been working with the software created for this company for the last 10 years, and always our company has been successful with our Estimated-Working Projects. There has been difficulties i cant not ignore that , but always this company has been there to help us. The M217 is a complete program because the constant customization of the software and the diversity of the estimates able to execute with details in price, products quantities, labor, Diagrams in 2D & 3D ,etc. is all you can need to produce a professional presentation and the most important RESULTS. For Commercial use i recommend this software 100 %

Pros

Software easy to work with. Costumer Service the best in the Business. Video Tutorials Great Help Company listen to all the concerns carry with the Construction Business and resolve mostly of the problems into their reach. Developers always are on top of the details to make MeasureSquare the best in the business. Customization of product Professional looking diagrams and worksheets Estimates all types flooring materials

Cons

Every time an update is out, a new folder is create in the Documents Folder and we loose time copy and paste from the older folder to the new one the takeoff already done.

### "Flexible and Diverse "

August 12, 2021

5.0

Once you get the hang of the program it's beautiful and easy to use. I've been able to do so many take-offs easily. I even use the program to confirm measurements or for personal projects not related to any take-offs. We used the program to design our own gym in the office. The amount of fine detail I can do with this program has been fantastic. I was able to design a football field with the hash marks. And get the proper amount of material required to get the job. We haven't had any issues when using the numbers provided from Measure Square.

Pros

Flexibility - I can plug in so many different product types for diverse take-offs. I love the ability to just add a very specific product. Being able to draw very specific rooms or even designing things like football fields or personal gyms with logos. Accuracy- Haven't had any issues with the proper amount of material being given to us. It's always been accurate

Cons

The only real con I can think of is it does take a bit of getting used to the program. It took a while before I had everything figured out. I watched a few youtube videos and practiced a few times until I understood how to navigate and use the program. I think it's initially a little overwhelming with options.
