Pros / Cons
  • The structured scope templates also make tendering far more transparent, ensuring contractors are pricing on a like-for-like basis.
  • One area that has confused me is when two or more extension shell types are included in a cost model, whether this leads to duplication of some preliminaries that in reality would be shared - e.g. project manager / scaffold / deliver excavator.

  • What I liked most is its drag-and-drop functionality combined with digital blueprints—you can quickly measure areas, lengths, and counts directly on-screen without juggling paper plans.
  • The main cons of PlanSwift are its steep learning curve, limited document compatibility, occasional software glitches or licensing issues, and customer support gaps.
