I really like how easy the takeoff software is to use. When I'm asked about a certain section of a project, I can quickly use Methvin to get the numbers and quantities to the guys out in the field. It is very accurate once you get a good ruler set and this allows me to trust my numbers and not waste time double checking. I have not really got into the other things they offer such as pricing and gantt charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm still fairly new to the software, but I do not believe it allows for a "backspace" while measuring something. You can move your polygon and length measures after you're done measuring, but I would like to be able to make a change while measuring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The on-planned measurement tool, and materials measurement option. Compatibility with MS excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that I am unable to copy the existing measurement structure, including captured constants and material name descriptions as well. Every time I start a similar measurement I have to rewrite the the whole material structure which is time-consuming.
The on plan measurement accuracy would improve if it could identify corners and ends of dimension end.
When I mistakenly captured a point and want to cancel a few points backwards it totally cancels the whole measuring, which is time-consuming as well.
Gantt chart and other programmes should improve drastically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best is its ability to touch various stages of construction, right from tendering, up to the execution phase, and definitely even until the closeout of a construction project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Gantt scheduler needs to be a little more developed so that it can cater to all possible types of construction projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It helped me uploading drawings quickly and doing take-offs. I liked user interface and and measurement tools available. It gives me option to export data in to PDF and excel formats. Resource and pricing module is best to workout labour, material and preparing rate analysis. And best thing is it is all integrated across its all features. Good to do cost control and agile management using project dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall it is good software. I would like to see more option for formatting takeoff measurements like line formats, colours. Also would like to see a combine dashboard for takeoff and pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular. It is a work in progress and with the right level of investment and effort the software is certainly going to help estimators across the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
