### "FastEst"

October 31, 2022

5.0

Overall I am pleased with the program, but the are still improvements I would like to see.

Pros

I find the software is excellent for fast, accurate quantity surveys. I am a big fan that we are able to customize the software. Whether it is the specifications, assemblies or job item we can set the project to and dial them into common situations and local engineer requirements.

Cons

The software is a tool. Calling support and being told "most companies don't use it like that..." is disappointing. To be told you might have to play around to get it to do what you want is also disappointing. Especially in instances where the feature(s) not performing as expected are the ones that guided the selection. There are still improvements to be made. btw...I read some past reviews and wonder what software those people are using and what company they deal with. I have never seen or experienced support day or night. Support is helpful and on point most of the time, but not always.

Reason for choosing FastWRAP

Insulation specific. Integrates with other software modules

### "Anthony's Review on fastwrap"

October 27, 2022

5.0

This product has paid for itself. I have take off millions of dollars in prints and attained most of the jobs from using this product. As well as sending out the products needed to the job site to get it done accurately and efficiently.

Pros

Accuracy and efficiency of takeoffs as well as giving me material lists needed for the job. The speed at which I am able to take off the project and the timely fashion in which I can send out my quote

Cons

I dont like how when I take off piping insulation that it connects the ends to the near by piping. can get aggrivating some times. I am sure there is a way in which I could change that but dont know how.

Reason for choosing FastWRAP

November 1, 2022

Hi Anthony, thanks for the review! About the pipe connecting to nearby items, I understand the frustration there. Some people love that feature, some do not. To turn it off, click the gear icon above the plan in takeoff and uncheck the "Snap Connections" box. Give us a call at 800-828-7108 if you have any questions.

### "Is FastWRAP really that fast!? "

June 2, 2025

3.0

My experience with FastWRAP is a mixed one. You have the Pros of the support team and the software etc and then you have the Cons which is very slow importing docs.

Pros

The support team are amazing, whenever I need to get in touch with them they are very quick to respond.

Cons

I find importing my drawings etc very slow. Pricing can be a little bit of a nightmare too, always changing rates.

### "FastWrap Review"

October 24, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with the software has been great. The training class was very helpful as well. Highly recommend.

Pros

We use this software daily and it is the main source of our estimating.

Cons

Integration into our company was easy. I do wish there was a copy and paste option for labeling plans. I also wish it was in color instead of black and white for plans that are sent to you that are already marked up in color.

Review Source

Response from FastEST

November 1, 2022

Hi Eric, thanks for the review! To address the issues you mentioned -- plans are imported in black and white by default to save disk space, but there is an option to import them in color. Click the arrow next to the Import button and choose "New Plans (modify settings)". After you choose the file to import, you will get a choice to import in color, and there is an option to save that setting as the default for future plans. As for the copy/paste option for labeling plans, that is probably something we can add. Please give us a call at 800-828-7108 when you have a chance and we can discuss the idea.

### "FastWrap Review"

June 30, 2020

5.0

Overall experience has been great. Before the huge overhaul update of Fastwrap, I was utilizing the old version, which required a USB key at the time, very heavily. And I remembered the frustration of how non-advanced and troublesome the interface was. So many features that are now implemented, would have been time saving back then. But the overall update and continuous ability to make the software better is why I'll continue to use FastWrap.

Pros

What I really like the most about this software is the ability to customize FastWrap to match your companies style of estimating. This feature allows us to enable any person in our office to utilize the software with ease and familiarity. Also, with continuous updates with new features and bug fixes, it's allowed us to maximize the efficiency of the software. The new interface of the software compared to the old, is also a nice touch in rendering a more up to date look and feel.

Cons

There are very few things to dislike about this software. However, there are some minor features, I like to see implemented. One major downside of the use of FastWrap is importing revised drawings. This will tend to get messy and unorganized when revised drawings need to be uploaded multiple times. If there was a way to filter out current sheets with takeoffs only, that'd help out tremendously.

### "FastWRAP For Our Canadian Needs"

July 6, 2020

5.0

Our experience with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and his team has been nothing but top notch! Whether a quick question, or a detailed complex fix, we can work with the support team at FastEst and they support our ever-changing needs. We have now created a customized Summary Tab and know that our productivities are in sync - making the comfort to submitting bids easier to manage. A great system which we are excited about using for many years!

Pros

Since we have first started using FastWRAP, the ease of use has been a strong selling feature. It is functional and we have found over the years the Rates of Placement are accurate and the ability to be able to load our local price lists into the program make bids a breeze.

Cons

Currently, we are trying to adapt the program to meet the needs of our Industrial Division. We are confident that we will be successful and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and his team are already receptive to our needs and willing to work with us to make everything right!

Reason for choosing FastWRAP

Dollars / Product = FastWRAP checked all the boxes and we couldn't be happier with our decision.

### "FastWRAP - Checks all the boxes"

October 27, 2022

5.0

FastWRAP has speedup takeoff time tremendously over manual takeoff. Giving me more time to review project. Having the quick access to Customer Support is the highlight of this software. I would recommend this product over others that I have used.

Pros

This product was very easy to get started on. I came out of retirement so my computer background does not match up with the younger group of estimators. Video help instruction and a Customer Support call number that guides you threw any problem you encounter.

Cons

The Pricing Tab populates the individual items used to calculate total square footage for Duct Wrap. I am getting used to this but new users beware.

### "Quite Possibly the BEST software we've ever used!"

June 30, 2020

5.0

We are extremely pleased with their customer service and updates to software that added features we brought to their attention that made the product that more effective for our industry.

Pros

Ease of Access. Ease of Use. Accuracy of Take-offs and accessibility of the data that has been taken off. The ability to break out and brake down footages and pricing in a variety of ways to better Man and provide materials for any project and even focus on certain areas of a project if the project maybe phased.

Cons

At present, we have no complaints. Fastest has been extremely attentive to our concerns and comments and have addressed them with improvements and updates.

Pros

The takeoff feature is versatile and easy to use, the templates are clear and easily customised, and the customer service team has always been friendly and helpful with any setup questions or issues.

### "Fastwrap one of a kind "

October 29, 2022

5.0

The program has safe me a lot of time from being In the computer. Also it has safe me a lot of errors on my quotes.

Pros

I love the fact that everything safes automatically and I can come when ever to pick up where I left off. The coloring of the systems makes it really easy to see what you have done.

Cons

The think I like the least is that about that software is that it was a set price for the workers and I have to change it every time I send a quote.

Thanks for the review, Francisco. As for the labor price -- if you update that in your Excel template file, it will be correct when you export jobs in the future and you won't have to update it manually each time. Give us a call at 800-828-7108 and we can help you with that.

### "FastWRAP"

July 6, 2020

5.0

Easy integration with great support when needed. We can get thru take-offs very quickly resulting in time saved and more projects bid.

Pros

Great product all around and very user friendly

Cons

None really - exceeded my expectations and they integrate upgrades as needed to continually enhance the program

Reason for choosing FastWRAP

This system was designed by mechanical contractors and they did a great job bringing that experience to the program. Building the system from experienced bidding practices shows up here nicely making this very easy to understand and get up and running smoothly and fast!

October 18, 2022

Only been using it for a year and I am new to estimating. I am getting ok but need a lot more time with it to use it to its full potential

Pros

When taking off a job it is very easy to navigate.

Cons

With costs of material rising all the time it is time consuming to enter new material costs all the time.

### "Intuitive and Easy to Use - What More Could You Ask For"

July 6, 2020

5.0

Pros

I love how intuitive the program is. If you think it should do something to make your takeoff easier then there is probably a function there to help you. The cloning, overlay, copy/paste, and undo functions make estimating so much easier.

Cons

Adding pipe sizes or calculations for certain materials can be difficult in the catalog. Tech support is usually on point with helping out on these.

Reason for choosing FastWRAP

Ease of use, and a more updated feel to the program. M.I.K.E. was not intuitive nor easy to use when we looked at it about 10 years ago. We continued with our old method of printing and hand scaling projects until about 5 years ago when we started using FastWrap.

All good.. some transfer to be made due to Language (French Quebec)

Pros

Reports are strong.. but other managers are not comfortable with using the excel export of the reports/info on the job. (They do not use the program, only information generated)

Cons

ease of changing product prices... I do not do it myself, but my man changes it one item at a time

### "Fast Wrap Fan"

October 24, 2022

5.0

overall the program does what we need for our bids, which is precise take-offs

Pros

The transfer from fast duct to fast wrap. It very easy to use.

Cons

I believe there's some duct taps that the program always puts up as parts that need to be quoted.I need to check why it does that.

November 1, 2022

Julio, thanks for the review! Parts without prices in the catalog will show up as 'Quoted' in the reports. Give us a call at 800-828-7108 and we can help you set catalog prices on the quoted items you use regularly, so you don't have to do it separately for each job.

### "Great product for fast and accurate takeoffs."

October 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

The easy of use cannot be beat, takeoff quantities and materials lists are excellent, and the excel exports make using the info a breeze.

Cons

The one thing I would change would be some tweaks to the interface, such as ability to re-order sections and materials that have been taken off.

### "A tremendous asset that should be added to your business "

June 30, 2020

5.0

I have been able to free up an abundance of time during the day by using the FastWrap program versus the paper method.

Pros

I like the ease of understanding the program and how much time it shaves off of the time it takes to estimate a project.

Cons

It would be nice if there was a timer option to tell how much total time you have invested into bidding a project and also per section.

Reason for choosing FastWRAP

It seemed like a superior product over the other system and more modern.

Pros

The elimination of printing jobs, takes out all of the "by hand" calculations.

Cons

easy to start using, only con was getting used to seeing a full print in small sections at a time.

Reason for choosing FastWRAP

We bid directly to plumbers and one of our customers recommended this software

June 30, 2020

5.0

Fast wrap is difficult to learn, but I can see myself increasing my productivity significantly once I have learned it. I am glad there is a support number to call. If not for the customer support I would have given up on learning it by now.

Pros

\-The ability to get labor and material for specific phases and sections -After getting your quantities the pricing is extremely fast and easy -The pie charts are great for labor and material comparisons

Cons

\-I feel it is very technical as far as setting up the specs. I have used is for a month and am having a hard time creating new specs without receiving errors.

[Bluebeam Revu](https://www.capterra.com/p/121586/Bluebeam-PDF-Revu/)

Standardize bidding. Increase productivity. Less room for error than excel spreadsheets.

Love the product, really easy to bring in our duct and pipe takeoffs and wrap up the insulation in minutes
