Pros/Cons
Pros
- The ease of use is fantastic. Ability to import new drawings and revised drawings is great.
- The ability to carry multiple tables for labor (shop or field) is also a nice feature if you do different kinds of work or have your own time-studies for certain products.
- The people from owner to developers and service technicians are very good people and willing to help.
Cons
- Pre-Bid changes are becoming more frequent. I used to dread this especially when the addendum plans are not clouded.
- I tried to open FastDuct and got an error message. 10pm on a Sunday night and not only did I get a phone call from the president but he had me up and running in a few minutes.
- 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.
Pros
- Fastest is a wonderful program. If you are looking to bid and win more jobs this is the product to buy.
- The cost was also much more competitive than several other options, which is a nice benefit.
- The ease of use is fantastic. Ability to import new drawings and revised drawings is great.
Cons
- The inability to enlarge revised plans when importing. Sometimes it is hard to tell which plan you have.
- There is a lack of shortcut keys. All steps need to be repeatedly clicked which can be arduous when performing common tasks.
- And some times I get exceptions on certain pipes with errors about insulation specs or hangers and I can't quite figure out how to correct that.
