"Planswift is great for construction takeoffs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PlanSwift?

Planswift is very easy to use for construction takeoffs and did not take a lot of training prior to using the product. Easily creates digital takeoffs and stores values that can be easily transferred into other programs like Microsoft Excel or Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSwift?

Planswift has an estimate and proposal options but both required extensive work and work arounds. I found it easier to use Microsoft Excel and Word to create estimates and proposals after getting quantities from Planswift. The estimating, templates and reports functions could use some improvement to make them more user friendly. Also I was never able to print takeoffs with takeoff quantities to PDFs to make them more accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to jump in, yet complicated to customize"
4/5
What do you like best about PlanSwift?

I like the ease to be able to load up multiple file types, and there is a seamless transition from other software I've used in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSwift?

It's too complicated to create assemblies, the videos are too complicated and don't allow me to assemble components how I want them. I want to be able to set my assemblies per stage in my project. I should be able to do all my footer assembly including hardware as an easier package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EarthworkPro plug-in is awesome. Once you do all the grading takeoffs it will calculate cut, fill and rough grading! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSwift?

Reports are not very user friendly. It would be nice to print a report that looks like your takeoff summary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lumber Estimator's Best Friend"

What do you like best about PlanSwift?

It works the way I work, matches the approach that I would have used with paper, scale ruler, and calculator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSwift?

Setting up all the presets and tools, to make it most efficient requires a very large investment of time. This time will eventually pay off, but there is a substantial amount of work on the front end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
