Awesome!
Amazing just amazing, from everything they do from top to bottom they will work with you and help you and bend over backwards to satisfy you!
Pros
The program is really easy to get started and use. It also will do thing you never thought about doing for example (demo parts of the job)
Cons
The only thing I can think of is that its another to take in at first and to try and do this all alone but that is where the customer support is extraordinary, I mean they are Johnny on the spot I wouldn't use anything else for my take offs.
Reasons for Switching to WinEx GRADE
Poor customer support and just a very hard system to figure out and also didn't have all the bells and whistles these guys do!

3+ years experience with this program
Pros
Software is easy to use making civil and utility takeoffs quick and accurate. The vendor is always there to help through any issues or confusion that you may encounter. Once grade lines are inputed, it is easy to make adjustments to get the most accurate takeoff. The shadings and maps are great for understanding the overall scope of the project that is being taken off as well as a great check and balance for the quantity computed. The program has great resources to aid in evaluating the overall scope of whatever project is being taken off.
Cons
I would say the part that I like the least is the lack of ability to import 3D CAD surfaces. Also, I wish there was an easy way to determine structure excavations and backfill. There is a way to manipulate it to get the answer needed, but it takes time, and if the region of interest boundaries are not right around the structure of interest it does not accurately calculate the quantity. I wish you could trace the structure, enter the bottom elevation and excavation slope, and get an answer without having the region of interest boundary where you may think the excavation will stop.

Too many processing errors.
Pros
Line tracking is is a good feature. Data input screens are well-thought-out, and graphics seem to be pretty good.
Cons
Too many processing errors. They just can't seem to get topsoil re-spread to calculate correctly. Software design seems to be a long way off from end user in terms of knowing what kind of info an excavator wants. We are excavators. Keep it simple and stop adding functions that don't work. Many other software packages cost much less with little or no yearly subscription fee.

WinEx Master won the bid!
I recently used the program for a proposal on a project with several sites and a wide range of scopes of work. The client had provided quantity take-offs for cut and fill and import materials. We were able to double check their quantities and determine that the client's quantities were high by about 20%. We submitted our proposal with an alternate and take-off backup, reducing the overall cut and fill, and import costs considerably. Having confidence in our take-off's allowed us to go to the client with this project savings and ultimately helped us win the bid. The technical support has been an incredible help. They take the time to understand my take-off requirements and offer solutions. I do a lot of my take-off's after hours, so most of the time, its just support getting back to me very promptly with a few pointers to help me work more effectively. I have become more confident with my take-off results when I use the program. The more I use WinEx Master, the more indispensable it is becoming to the estimation process.
Pros
I like that the software will work seamlessly with different types of electronic media, pdf or AutoCAD for example. The visualizations are high quality and very detailed, making it a very effective tool to explain a take-off to others. The program is easy to manipulate to allow "what if" scenarios. There are built in features that make previously difficult tasks easier (Alt Plan). The on-screen prompts are very helpful. The program support has been incredible and very knowledgeable about their product and my industry. The program is not a drag on my laptop resources.
Cons
I have not found an aspect yet that I can say needs to be improved. I would like to see more help videos and a little more detail in the manual, but neither of these items have been a problem because the support has been incredible.
Reasons for Switching to WinEx GRADE
The process of using Adobe to do takeoffs is too cumbersome, its not designed for what I need it do. gathering information in Adobe and using it in Excel leads to errors. I am not proficient in AutoCAD so using that for earth moving take-offs didn't work for me. AutoCAD is very expensive; we don't have it on everybody's computer. Having to rely on someone in another office to do a take-off for me gave me no confidence in the results. Also, not having the flexibility to manipulate/work the take-off approach was very limiting. With WinEx Master, I have a program that is less expensive, easier to use and at my fingertips.

GREAT SOFTWARE AMAZING CUSTOMER SUPPORT!
Pros
WinEx master goes above and beyond with all of the features it offers. They are constantly coming out with updates that get better and better each time. They have the best customer support I have ever experienced. They are always available to go over any questions you have no matter how big or small. They go out of their way to help me with all of my questions and they spend as much time as I need going over difficult jobs. If I need something they don't offer (which is rare) they come out with an update with that feature! They far surpass any company I have ever worked with!
Cons
The only thing that I don't love about WinEx is the Summary reports. I find the layout difficult to read and the summary not very efficient.

Good product with no regrets
Pros
As a field guy coming into the estimating world and having minimal computer knowledge this was the easiest program to learn and become efficient with as we tried a few of the other top systems. Technical support is outstanding.
Cons
I really have no negative comments to offer. I guess the only thing I could say is the fact of needing a 'key' to run the program can be a pain as far as using it at the office and home and a second key is a little pricey for the added convenience.

One Of The Best Takeoff Software Programs
Using WinEx has been outstanding for my company.
Pros
It's easy to use but if you do run into problems you can reach a rep almost immediately for help and their explanations are easily understood (especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]).
Cons
Not applicable, I like everything. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is an asset to WinEx.
Reasons for Choosing WinEx GRADE
Their customer service goes beyond what anyone else could ever offer ([SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]).

Great Help
It's been a pleasure. Very pro-active with their support.
Pros
I love the support i received with set up and training. The product is relatively simple to use, and gives great information. There's a couple of work arounds that i forget from time to time, but i'm sure future releases will solve those work arounds.
Cons
The only issues i have is remembering some of the work arounds. In particular, I forget how to create respread regions from void.

Great Program with Superb Customer Support
We are able to quantify projects with an accuracy we were never able to have before.
Pros
Easy to use. Was able to start almost on the first job i used the program on. Support is as good as i have experienced. Roctek will train as many people as you need trained and are always available for helping you over rough spots. I have had lots of experience with Customer Support and Roctek's is as good as any i have dealt with.
Cons
Editing is sometimes confusing and the graphics don't always help but i believe that is more of a user problem than the program.

Introduction to Roctek
Pros
I primarily have always been involved with clearing and mass earthwork; started out developing cross-sections and doing all calcs' by hand; early 90's introduced and started using Paydirt and thought it was great until I was introduced to Roctek. Been using Roctek for almost year; time of establishing quantities for clearing, earthwork, stormwater, utilites, paving(s) in cut in half. Using Roctek; due to the ease and speed on on screen; provides a tremendous savings on overhead to establish quantities; one is able to have more time to analyze the project prior to bid with the tools of the program.
Cons
Do not have any issues with anything about the program

Easy ,productive program with top knotch support!
I have worked excavating for 20 years as an equipment operator, foreman ,and site super . When i started my company I soon realized estimating was one of the hardest for me. I tried most takeoff programs and found this to be most user friendly and i could do double the takeoffs utilizing Roctek winex grade.
Pros
Being new to estimating this program is easy to use and customer service is top notch ! Great features fpr the price point.
Cons
Havent found anything negative yet I feel its a good all around program that i feel cpuld grow with my company .

Pavecon, Ltd. is a site work contractor. We do all things site work including earthwork, asphalt and concrete paving. I needed a software that would do it all. I have been using WinEx Master for almost 2 years. WinEx Master gives me all the options I need to put together a complete site work package. It is by far the best earthwork takeoff software solution I have found. It give users the ability to break up different work areas for earthwork so you can define undercut and back-fill, over-excavation, and topsoil replacement. I have won large earthwork projects that I can confidently say I would not have gotten without the detailed takeoff I was able to do with WinEx Master from ROCTEK. Customer support is also flawless. I am able to contact my support guy immediately at any time. The ROCTEK support staff has helped resolve any issues I have had within minutes. They know their software! They are also very aggressive about updates and improvements. They listen to their customers' ideas and suggestions and have actually implemented some of my ideas into the software, making it more efficient. It took me one afternoon to learn this software; it's very easy to use. Once you purchase the software, you will be set up in an hour and off and running. I highly recommend this software, especially for earthwork takeoff. It truly is awesome. ROCTEK paid for itself within 2 months!

Cons
I have no complaints about Roctek or the software. I have been using it for a couple of years and it works great.

Win Ex Grade
I took over after estimator retired - he used a digitizer board and I prefer the electronic version to do take-offs. It was relatively easy to learn for even a non-engineer.
Pros
My favorite part is being able to use the digitizer on PDF plans instead of paper.
Cons
No remote access. Must have license fob to use at different computers. I work at home and in office and I have to remember to take it and then I can't access file unless I am at that location.

I've had a very smooth experience learning the software.
Customer support has easily been the best feature of the product. I have called in so many times for help and have always received clear, concise instruction. Particularly, I have liked that, for the most part, I have spoken with the same person each time I call in. This makes it so much easier to move forward because you're able to build a report with someone who can watch your progress and give more specific advice rather than speaking with a different person each time and having to explain yourself all over again.
Pros
It is very intuitive. A lot of the processes can be figured out or learned quickly simply by trying to logically approach how you think various aspects of the job site would be entered.
Cons
At this point, I do not have any dislikes about the product. I am new to this type of software so I don't currently have any criticisms.

WinEX: A fine product that could use a bit more customizable features
Pros
The help desk is quite good. The online tutorials are not as well-thought-out, yet when viewing these and asking additional questions from the support center, an answer can be obtained to any questions you have.
Cons
Customization could easily be a future add-in. Dimensioning areas of the plan would be beneficial. Part of the feature is already available. Overall, there are no areas that I like least of all, but improvements can certainly be made. Ready access to the database, to review the information this program is basing its calculations on, would be most welcome.

I purchased Roctek WinEx MASTER for the more difficult Takeoffs
It helped solving some problems that we needed when we are working with Private Developers instead of Public Unit Price Contracts.
Pros
I like that you have many ways of achieving your goal of establishing the necessary Quantities. Visually it helps with the 3-D Viewer and I like that I can print Graphics Forms of the Estimate that I can include with my Bid Proposal. The Technical support is great and they adapt to your style of Bidding. There are a lot of Simple Takeoff Software Programs, but it may not get you the answers that you are looking for in a Quantity Estimating Program. Quantity Estimating Software is evolving and they (Roctek) are evolving with them.
Cons
The Reports aren't fancy looking and you have to manipulate the Data into Spreadsheets to get the information that you need, but at least you have the required information.
Reasons for Choosing WinEx GRADE
I felt I was going to get a more personalized Technical Support with Roctek.

Tech support, use it.
This product is great, I've used it to takeoff a hand full of projects already (one massive project) and haven't been using it too long. Without any formal training, I feel confident doing earthwork takeoff and that I will learn the other features of this program. When I ran into problems their tech support resolved my issue and talked me through everything, making sure I understood what was going on and not just fixing it for me and sending me on my way.
Pros
User friendly interface Program functions make sense and are easy to learn, very straight forward Line tracker is great for when importing certain line work isn't possible Tech support is great, they even called to check up on me a few days after I called for support while doing takeoff on a large project to make sure everything was going smoothly No pressure sales pitch, they let the product do the selling. They even gave me an extension to use the trial software to finish a takeoff
Cons
Have not found any yet.

Roctek Review
Customer support is tops! I like the program and I wanted to be successful at using it, but we went back to Agtek.
Pros
Many nice features and simplistic approach. Customer support was awesome-- yet that is kind of the problem-- I spent too much time with them because the program logic was difficult to follow.
Cons
Snap function is horrible. Input of data lines and contours is confusing. Importing drawings is cumbersome. Inability to input annotated lines. Cut-Fill graphics are primitive. Output file summary is displayed with odd logic and on too many sheets. Training videos outdated.

WinEx Grade
WinEx Grade is user friendly. I like the on-screen takeoff and being able to download plans to the program without having a hard copy set of plans. The saves time which is very valuable for me and the program is very accurate. The team at Roctek has been great with their support, friendly to work with, and always eager to help. I have estimated for 31 years and have tried several different takeoff systems. For the money, WinEx grade is the best.
Pros
The onscreen takeoff. The ability to use vector files. You get a lot for your money with this program.

Outstanding Product
Pros
Our company does a lot of small site work. The takeoff process used to be very time consuming for even a small amount of work. This software is extremely easy to use. It has cut my takeoff time by around 50%. I also know I can trust the quantities generated, and in the event I run into a problem, the technical support is second to none. Using Roctek definitely allows me to spend less time doing takeoffs and more time in the field.
Cons
I've been using WinEx Grade for about 4 months now and can't think of a single negative to this point.

What I think about WinEx
Pros
There are a couple of things that we love about this product. The ease of operation and great tech support. It makes a great visual aid when taking to clients.
Cons
The thing I don't like the most is not being able to use on multiple computers without moving the key from computer to computer. I understand why the license is the way it is but being able to use on at least two would be so much more handy for our company.

Able to take the most complicated site and break it down and provide cut/fill quanitities for estimates

Roctek is a Superior Product
Roctek via WinEx Master is software equipped to satisfy ALL needs. This is a powerful tool replete with superior reporting, digitizing, and visualization tools. Has many features, so it will not be something you can learn overnight, but the customer service is so outstanding that they will stay with you all night if you needed to learn it fast! Keep up the great work, Roctek Team! Looking forward to seeing how you can possibly top off this software with your new release. The company never ceases to amaze me!
Pros
Business reports are needed to make executive decisions. The reports generated here are for champion decision makers! Too much good info! Add an exceptional takeoff team, and you'll be winning projects in no time!
Cons
Lots of good features. Not as intuitive, so requires expert support to fully maximize the product's utility.

My name is Court, I own a small excavating business. I was sold on ROCTEK because of the cost, ease of use, and the technical support. I have been very happy with my choice. I really knew nothing about using software to do my takeoffs before WinEx Master. They have been amazing with the support I have received. I have been using it for several months now and have really got the hang of it. I can now bid projects that I couldn't have before, and I know that my calculations are right. This peace of mind has been priceless. I have saved countless hours chasing plans around town and hundreds of dollars in copying plans. I also have been able to bid more work in a shorter period of time. I highly recommend ROCTEK to any earthwork contractor.

The product does what it needs to do. It's simple, affordable, accurate, and the tech support is phenomenal. The development team at Roctek is very responsive to suggestions; they want to make sure the product does everything you need it to do and more.

RocTek is great
Pros
I love the customer service and the constant updates that continually improve the product. It's very easy to use and has excellent graphics to check your work.
Cons
There's no instruction manual with the program. There is no really good help function, so you must call the tech support line if there is a user question.

Fantastic Customer Support Staff
Pros
The customer support staff is extremely helpful and very knowledgeably not just of their program but of general site work projects. They go beyond just supporting their software but will help you set up a project. They are very understanding and aware of your time frames for completing your projects and will work with you. I would highly recommend this software.

King's Excavation and Dirt Works does a lot of cut & fill projects in Hawaii. By using ROCTEK's WinEx Master, I cut my time in half. The best part of it is it's accuracy in its cut & fill quantities. Its user-friendly and if you have any questions or run into something you don't know, a customer service rep is always more than happy to assist you. I've been in the excavation business for a while and truthfully think it's one of my best investments yet. Thanks Jim!

Overall very good experience
The application specialists were very helpful and patient when we contacted them for help. Having more specialists available would speed up your clients learning curve.
Pros
This program offers a lot for the purchase price. This now gives us confidence in our takeoff quantities,
Cons
We would like to see more training videos available that we can use when we encounter questions. Having the videos means we would not have to call in for support as often.
