I like the ease of use and takeoff tools that help reduce the time spent on takeoffs. The estimate feature has great potential for our company we are creating assemblies and pricing to streamline our estimating process. I enjoy the real time view added recently that shows updates to the estimate as you progress through the takeoff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The trainings, I would find more value if there were industry related trainings on conducting takeoffs, building assemblies, and estimates. The cost is slightly high and would find more value if we were able to pay for a license that covered multiple users. Another pain/dislike is the linear with drop feature specifically when your ending your measurement the double click adds the drop and when you try to correct it most of the time you will delete the entire measurement and have to start over. Very frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stack makes the Organization of Project Documents & the Takeoff process a breeze. Coming from paper takeoffs by hand Stack has increased our project productivity by over 75%. By eliminating the need to go from paper, to Excel, to Software then back to Excel it has saved us tons of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish for our Electrical trade the Items and Assemblies were more built out. For the price we pay I feel like this is where they are lacking however I still have an overall positive outlook on the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a snappy takeoff and estimating SAAS platform that handles large volumes of information handily. It is feature-rich and enables estimating teams to dive as deep as they need to or stay on the surface for ITB triage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the zoom-in feature doesn't go far enough for some details. And I wish there was a more nimble way to view other plan sheets; the two-tab method works well enough, but sometimes I'll need to reference more than 2 drawings at a time to chain references back to a certain section of the building.

My main use is being able to quickly turn blueprints into a material takeoff. We also use the aerial images you can request through Stack. Within minutes, you get the images back along with a square-foot takeoff. My only wish is that it covered more than just major cities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updating our pricing in our material library is a real pain. There just isn’t a good way to do it, at least not that I’ve found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the variety of built-in tools and how easy it is to complete material count takeoffs, whether it’s for small homes or 360-unit buildings. These tools help speed up takeoffs while keeping them accurate, and they also make it easier to find and flag crucial information needed for quotes and for after the project is won. I’ve loved how straightforward STACK Takeoff & Estimate has been since our trial, and we now have 15 memberships. The initial setup was simple and went smoothly.

I honestly don't have any complaints, I like it a lot. The only thing I would like is if there was an app we could use on our phone that had offline capabilities when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that STACK has made several updates since I started using it about a year and six months ago. The takeoffs are straightforward and very easy to get used to. I also appreciate how they’re integrating AI and using it in the best way possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven’t experienced many downsides with STACK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Constantly updating features, takes feedback. allows for document searching & storage from old projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features do disappear which does affect my productivity to have to change my routine after losing a step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

STACK is very intuitive & user friendly. The various functions are easy to learn & easy to use. I especially like the page that shows you all of the drawing sheets. It allows me to navigate quickly through the sheets I need to work on. I use STACK every day and like it far better than other software I've used. I like that STACK listens to their subscribers suggestions. They've implemented a couple of my suggested tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not very familiar with the estimate function in STACK. I have always used an Excel spreadsheet for my estimate. I find it hard to figure some general condition items like lift rental and travel, per diem & lodging for out of town projects. To me it seems easier to do that portion in my Excel spreadsheet. I would very much like to see the "Multiplier" on the "measure" page to be able to use decimal figures like 2.5 or 3.75. Now we are only allowed to use whole numbers.

The customizability at the TAKEOFF level is the best. Creating our own items, assemblies, and being able to change how measurements calculate costs is super easy and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of customizability at the ESTIMATES level. There's certain things we have to manually input every time we do an estimate, and it'd be nice to have a place to say "add an extra X% to the costs of MATERIALS for taxes" for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s an online platform, which makes it much easier to access than having to sit at a desk and log in on a desktop. That also means it’s accessible for the guys in the field who need to view the takeoffs. I’ve also appreciated how responsive customer support is when I run into issues, and how they take my suggestions on board to help make the app better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few things that can be frustrating because it’s still a fairly new platform and doesn’t yet have some of the features other estimating software has. I try my best to submit suggestions through the STACK request a feature when I remember, but I don’t really get any feedback on whether it’s something they plan to implement or not. Some of these include: Copying Cutouts for repetitive items like windows or doors SF, Having the option to organize the project list into folders, Notes section automatically saving instead of having to click save, ability to copy takeoffs from one project to another, ability to hide specific dimension lines, ability to edit description & Title of takeoff from the reports tab, ability to link/hyperlink a set of takeoffs to a specific detail sheet (i.e. If i have a flashing on my window elevation, click on the link and it takes me to the sheet with that detail.).
