April 3, 2015 5.0 I have been in the residential home building business for 27 years and was recently introduced to PlanSwift 3 years ago and I wish it was around when I started doing estimating many years ago.

April 7, 2015 4.0 I have been using PlanSwift for less than a year, but it's already saved me countless hours and immeasureable amounts of sanity. Estimating has gotten quicker and easier using this program. There is no second-guessing if an area was included or not. Plus it's a great resource to show unbelievers that yes, I DID include all areas because it's been shaded with the proper color! Review Source DK Dinesh K.

Review Source JB Joe B. Estimator / Project Manager Used the software for: ### "The Savior! " April 2, 2015 5.0 Our company has been using PS for 3+ years now and by far it's the most intuitive software for performing take-offs that I've used. I've used competing products since the late 90's and the ease of use and the length of time to train others is minimal. Before PS, all of our estimating / take-offs were done by hand. The time saved pays for the software almost immediately. Review Source NT Nathan T. PM Used the software for: ### "Planswift has saved me time and money" March 26, 2015 5.0 I work in the flooring industry, I tried out multiple takeoff programs, Planswift was easy to start using, the options are easy to understand and make you feel comfortable with your takeoff. The customer support is great, they respond quickly to email questions and have easy answers. Planswift saves me easily 2 or 3 hours a day and helps me avoid costly takeoff mistakes Review Source MJ Mike J.

The estimators in the office are looking forward to having the ability integrated plan takeoff with estimating software. I wish I had more fabulous things to say about PlanSwift, but I don't have enough experience with the software yet to have a good opinion one way or the other. Review Source LA Luke A. Sales Used the software for: ### "Great take off tool!" April 3, 2015 4.0 We do a lot of estimating for residential housing for people, and we needed something to do it faster. So we started shopping for a take off tool instead of doing it by hand. PlanSwift has been that tool for us. It takes time to get it set up, but once you do it is well worth the cost. We are still getting it set up, but it is looking great and is very quick to use. Review Source JA Jessica A. Vice President Used the software for: ### "Great program with many time saving features!" April 8, 2015 4.0 We purchased Planswift last year and find it very helpful in completing accurate and timely estimates. We measured everything by hand utilizing a scale ruler which was not as accurate as Planswift. My favorite feature is being able to color code measurements and counts for ease of location during construction. I wish we would have bought this program sooner! Review Source RE Robin E. Project Manager Used the software for: ### "Genius Software!!!" April 6, 2015 5.0 This product is by far the best purchase my company has made in years!!! The software is so very easy to use and understand. With just watching a few videos on how to get started and a few clicks of my mouse, I was on my way. Planswift has definitely increased productivity in the office and on the jobsite. Such a great product, would recommend it to anyone!!!! Review Source DK David K. Owner Used the software for: ### "Helps Make Money!" April 2, 2015 5.0 I do roofing estimates for a company in Houston TX and I live in Topeka KS.

Review Source QH Quentin H. Owner Used the software for: ### "How great it is" April 2, 2015 5.0 The only problem I had it this product is not having the list of materials I use. It was very easy for me to make them. I have been amazed at the joist tool and the way the assemblies work. I would like the hip tool to generate materials like the beam tool. I also wish I can become more familiar with this product or be certified in it. Thank You Review Source SkD Sandeep kumar D.

Take-off done very quick with in a day for big project. Review Source LU Leonardo U. Estimator Used the software for: ### "PLANSWIFT is top notch" April 2, 2015 5.0 PlanSwfit as a whole is the best takeoff system out. It is very easy to work with and learn. There are only two cons that I can think of for PlanSwift: 1. No cloud 2. Not compatible with Apple. Of course there are other systems out that have either one or both of the two cons, but it still doesn't compare or even come close to the PlanSwift. Review Source MB Melissa B. President Used the software for: ### "wonderful to work with" April 2, 2015 5.0 I love the ease of use with this product it's nice that I can do the take off and export it into an Excel spreadsheet that I have other programs on. I love that it's so easy to switch back and forth when doing certain take off whether it's an area , a linear length, a segment , etcetera. I would recommend it to anyone who needs takeoff software.
