Sr. Estimator Construction ### "Easy to learn, easy to use on-screen takeoff software" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 9, 2022 Overall Etakeoff has allowed us to streamline our estimating process and provide more standardization across the estimating department Pros A major pro to this software is how user friendly it is. Once installed, you can download plans and being doing basic takeoff in a matter of minutes. The program is easily customizable and standards can be created and shared company wide to standardize the takeoff process. With the Bridge software option, ETakeoff can be linked directly to Sage estimating, making takeoff & estimating integrated and seamless. The user friendliness and ability to integrate/pull up a takeoff on multiple devices allows for quick and easy review of an estimators work. The user friendliness allows individuals to be efficient in no time, even with no prior on-screen takeoff experience. Cons One improvement that could be made is the ability to more easily copy a measurement and repeat it. Etakeoff is good at this when copying an entire measurement, but not as user friendly when it comes to copying a portion of a measurement (i.e. one window instead of all windows on an exterior elevation). Setting up the integration with Bridge is a somewhat time consuming process, but well worth it once you have it completed. There are a few features that are different from other on-screen takeoff software that take some time getting used to if you are used to utilizing other on-screen takeoff programs Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Really user friendly. It has really helped me to learn how to perform good takeoffs. Cons They might make the dimensioning a little easier to use, but overall a really good experience.

Landscape Architect Architecture & Planning ### "Fairly Complicated" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 May 26, 2021 I switched to LandOne as soon as it came out and haven't looked back. Pros Once you get the hang of it, I guess it's kind of easy to use? Cons Too much going on. I don't need 1,000 different ways to do something when 5 is plenty.

Pros The only pro is that it's compatible with Sage Estimating, but other than that, I am not impressed with any features on this software. Cons It is not user friendly or intuitive to use. I would recommend Planswift or On-Screen Takeoff, or virtually any other on-screen software. Their support is absolutely terrible.

Pros The software has some nice functionality like it can count similar looking objects for you automatically. Cons It is not user friendly or intuitive. Training is involved and the "nice functions" don't always work as advertised. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Admin Construction ### "Not Like its Advertised" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 November 15, 2018 Not my preffered takeoff software. Pros The software has some pretty nifty features to help quickly count/recognize things. Cons Often times the nifty features wouldn't work and you'd end up counting things by hand anyway. There's weird rules about which directions you click around things to add/subtract areas. Not very intuitive.

NS nelson s. architect Construction ### "Etakeoff Digital measure table" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 June 20, 2018 This is a good program for what it does , it has a set of template traces , wich you can use to get measures from existing PDF drawing sets , maybe to fit your company standard you will need to go thru a hard self taught about to to do custom formulas , Pros you can use the template traces to do standard measures and continue the math on paper or you can go deep in formulas and do what you want , with the drawing scale tools this will be like a digital measurement table. Cons the part of the formulas is a little complex , so if you are planning to further rely on etakeoff to get all your measurement set maybe that will require that you consider some time for understanding how that works and to get your team trained.

MR Mark R. Owner Construction ### "Flexible, powerful, accurate and great integration to Excell and Sage Estimating" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 30, 2018 Accurate takeoff quantities with a visual audit trail. Pros The power of doing accurate takeoff with a number of alternatives to do everything. The graphic nature to be able to see visually what you have taken off and the ability to dynamically tie each takeoff to line items in your estimate through their bridge product Cons There really is no much I do not like about this product. But I would have to say I wish it allowed better sorting capabilities in the measurement list and gave us more power there.

The system automatically update any changes other users make which is nice when two people are on the same project Cons I have not found anything negative to say about the software to this point. My team has only used it a few months but so far so good Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
