"Kreo is an essential part of the take of process"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Kreo?

how easy it is to share between colleagues and how easy it is to use the auto measure function. We recieved a lot of support from the Kreo team throughout the process and if we struggle with any features. KReo is used daily within our offices and is essential for our take off process. Switiching from one software to Kreo was easy with the support given. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kreo?

"Cloud takeoff with Excel-like spreadsheets"
5/5
What do you like best about Kreo?

Kreo 2D takeoff is a cloud tool, working with any internet browser,which facilitates collaboration. Different file formats can be imported such as PDF or DWG. An advantage compared to some other tools is that the quality of imported PDFS is not downgraded.

There is also a black and white mode which helps to see measurements drawn on colored drawings. We can choose colors and thickness of the measurements we draw and when zooming out, these measurements become bigger and are easy to see.

It is possible 2 overlay drawings to highlight their differences.

We can sort measurements in flexible ways, creating folders, sub-folders and using drag and drop to move measurements from one folder to another.

A rare feature for such tools is that there is an Excel-like table. It is possible to connect measurements with live links to this table and easily create bills of quantities.

There is also a powerful system of assemblies. We can apply properties to any measurements, like thickness, height... to automatically calculate concrete volume for example. Then reports can be created. They work like pivot tables in Excel, which means that we can sort quantities according to any parameters, like levels, height, thickness...

Finally there are promising features of automation. We have the autocount, which is already working well and can detect texts or shapes automatically and count them. And there is an auto measure tool that is constantly improving and detects lines and can draw rooms, walls... automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kreo?

It can be long to display heavy PDF files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Finally, a modern UI in a takeoff software"
5/5
What do you like best about Kreo?

I have been doing estimating work for 10 years. Many take-off softwares' use old UI's (user interface) that often complicate the simple task of scaling a drawing and finding quantities on those drawings. Kreo's modern UI has simplified the process for a competitive price point. There is a lot of potential here to be the go-to take-off software in the industry. With little training, one can dive into basic take-offs quickly and expand knowledge over time, instead of spending a lot of time learning functions that may or may not be useful. Simply upload the project file, scale and start. Digitized items can easily be categorized within a custom file system which can be built at anytime, instead of needing to set up everything before you start. A simple drag and drop feature allows you to move digitized items into different categories (files) and automatically take on the properties of that category. Those categories are then carried throughout the project, alleviating the need to recreate the same properties on a new page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kreo?

The display of digitized quantities could be better. Currently the only way to see a total amount combined is to move the take off folder to the built in excel sheet that also works as the report feature (which is very handy). Would like to see immediate displays of quantities as they accumulate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

intial lack of intergration with Microsoft Excel however this is now been added allowing us to directly import take-off templates into the program and reduce time taken to turn raw measurement into usable BoQs and budgets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
