Hausman Metal Works & Roofing INC. FastDUCT Review

There is a bit of a learning curve which is very usual when it comes to learning a new software. Any questions / thoughts we had as a shop were answered within the day, which is why I recommend FastDUCT to anyone in the sheet metal industry. Their team goes above and beyond to lend a helping hand at any time (within reasonable hours).

Pros:

The FastDUCT software is easy to learn & operate and the customer service department gets a big A+. Our Shop uses tons of drawing / bidding programs and FastDUCT has some of the best customer service we've encountered.

Cons:

After using the software for close to 6 months there are no complaints, all positive feedback from our shop.

Reasons for switching to FastDUCT

Coming from the design world using AutoCAD and other programs, Trimble felt very outdated and not user friendly.

Pros:

This product is really easy to use. It save a lot of time and you can teek it to match most of your needs.

Cons:

You are unable to create your own catalogs and pricing. Some of fast Duct prices are way out of line. An example would be to insert a metalbetsos catalog ,or a norfab. Also the workbook they provide is full of errors that take time to fix.

Reasons for choosing FastDUCT

Fastduct was brought to the table by a new hired estimator that had used this product before.

Reasons for switching to FastDUCT

New hired estimator had been using this program. We took a look at it.

This product has all the bells and whistles you need, fast and easy to learn, on screen takeoff, and the ability to customize to suit your style of working.

Cons:

I can't think of any at the time of this review. This product has it all covered.

Reasons for choosing FastDUCT

It made sense to buy my plumbing and hvac software from the same company.

Reasons for choosing FastDUCT

It was simply the best fit for our company

Vendor Response

Bruce, thanks for the review. About the Quick Pick Menu -- the buttons can be customized within the fitting spec editor, but we realize that can be a tedious process across multiple specs and sizes. If you have any ideas for how it could be easier to use, give us a call at 800-828-7108. We are always looking for ideas of how to improve the software, and we get most of those ideas from users like you. Thanks again.

Pros:

The takeoff features have been vital to our day-to-day since using FastEST. We came from doing everything on paper, and now it's so much more convenient, accurate, and easy to do it all digitally.

Cons:

I use FastEST in a virtual machine on a mac. Sometimes the software can start to lag if I have a lot of takeoff items already.

PSM - FastDUCT Review

I'm our HVAC Estimator, I commonly put together estimates in the mid six figure range and I can't imagine trying to do this without FastDUCT. We had looked at other software solutions but this is the best one we found hands down.

Pros:

The software is very easy to use and understand. Product support is excellent.

Cons:

Wish there were keyboard shortcuts for common functions and the ability to click two end points to fill in duct.

Reasons for choosing FastDUCT

Other products were too generic to fit our needs. They were "estimating software" not purpose built for the HVAC industry.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for your review, Mat! We appreciate your feedback. We added a larger, more customizable menu of keyboard shortcuts to our latest software version, which I believe your company is currently running. So please let us know if you have any questions about those. And we don't currently have the AutoConnect feature in our FastDUCT program (like we do in our FastPIPE system), but we will definitely put it on our requested features list for prospective development down the road. Thank you again for your review, Mat!

Functionality

Pros:

I have used Fastduct and Pipe for several years . I not only am able to produce extremely accurate bids and take offs, But I use the recap sheet for quick change out bids for service and construction. Once I set my parameters, its remarkably fun and easy to produce bid after bid and be in the middle with all my competitors and be awarded 80% of my bids. Plus they keep updating with new features which I usually find some of the new features helpful depending what area I am focusing on at that time.

Cons:

When setting up your export file to send to a vendor for pricing , it can get a bit overwhelming as the vendor doesn't want all the details as they have to input it into their computer and their computer adds all the little details. So you have to edit it then send it. But for that extra step I can accept it Fastduct and Pipe is awesome !

Pros:

I really like the simplicity of learning the software and the how simple it is to customize my take-offs.

A feature I would like to see is when taking off rectangular duct system and I choose a square to round fitting, to automatically go into the round duct take off mode.

Reasons for choosing FastDUCT

I was not involved in choosing FastDUCT but i am glad my company went with FastDUCT

Vendor Response

Dave, thanks for the review! Great idea of automatically switching to the round spec when you take off a square to round fitting. We will get that in the next version.
