"Great for Takeoffs and project planning"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PlanSwift?

I like how easy it is to scale a document and then use it to find measurements, areas, and sizes of things. This data then lets me quote a project, then plan for the project and complete the project. This allows me to make less mistakes while installing a project and get things done faster. This keeps us on track and on budget over the course of the entire project, start to finish.

What do you dislike about PlanSwift?

There are a lot of things that can be done on Plan swift. I feel like a need a proper training so I can get the most use out of it. I will have to invest in that, to make sure I am getting the most out of it. Other than that, it is very good and we like to use it a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlanSwift:

Try everything and see how it works for you. Then after you get used to it, get some training with it to help you even more. There are a lot of great features you will find over time or with help. It is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PlanSwift solving and how is that benefiting you?

A lot of times, I get a project document that doesn't have measurements on the part I am quoting. This software allows me to find the measurements and then make a plan and quote based on those measurements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best Takeoff software"

5/5

What do you like best about PlanSwift?

Planswfit is one of the best take-off software on the market. The main thing I like about it is there are tons of added plug-ins that are trade specific, this helps streamline the takeoff process if there is a specific style of take-off a company would normally perform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSwift?

Planswift sometimes can sometimes crash or if your computer loses power it will force close the program and sometimes will corrupt the file and the take-offs will be lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As a Quantity estimator and Surveyor PlanSwift is my partner for both my office and freelance work"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PlanSwift?

It is an excellent software for quantity estimation and takeoffs . This Software has made my life so easy, and I have said goodbye to the calculator and hand calculation that was so time-consuming, and handling drawings was also not an easy task.

What do you dislike about PlanSwift?

"Great take off program"

5/5

What do you like best about PlanSwift?

Very accurate, fast, and reliable. I have used a lot of programs and I like this by far the best. The best feature I like is the magnification or the crosshair lines to show where you are at on the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlanSwift?

Nothing to say here I like all the features of Planswift. But if i had to choose I would say the slowness of converting items over to the excel documents. I have had some issues there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
