**What do you like best about Takeoff Live?**

It has a very low learning curve.  It is very accurate and exports to excel.  I also like it because it can work off of PDF drawing.  It is color coded to track your progress so you know where you left off.  Overall, it is a very fast and time saving program.   It is color coded to track your progress so you know where you left off.   

**What do you dislike about Takeoff Live?**

Some of the label fields are not editable and are grayed out.  I have also found tech support to be very slow and sometimes unresponsive.  It doesn't have a hand grab drag tool function and I haven't found a way to undo a finished area or a measurement.  Also, I don't know if it is my computer, but the software has a tendency to crash.

**Recommendations to others considering Takeoff Live:**

If doing manual take offs is too time consuming, consider using a software program, such as Takeoff Live to speed up the process and eliminate an errors when doing a BOM.

**What problems is Takeoff Live solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work in the construction industry and I get take off requests frequently from customers.  How I have done it in the past has been manually.  I would take a look at the plans and each individual detail listed and create a BOM.  Doing this manually can be very time consuming and has resulted in human errors.  This software is so much faster and has done a great job in eliminating errors.
