I would highly recommend Insite & Field General. I use Insite for our earthwork quantities, pipe excavation and backfill quantities, subgrade material quantities, finish grade quantities asphalt, concrete and topsoil. And fine the quantities to be very accurate. I use Field General for our field survey and GPS layout. I build my own TINS for our GPS machine control. They are very accurate and easy to build in Field General.

Insite/ Field General has always been on the cutting edge of the technology. Whether it's been digitizer takeoff, PDF takeoff or CAD takeoff

Some of the reports could be a little more detailed. But all in all everything is okay

InSite has been in the business a long time, but Elevation Pro itself is only a few years old because of a ground-up rewrite. I like their proactive business model and the ability to call and talk to people by name, but as a smaller company they are not going to have all the features that every company will need for takeoff or modeling. I would encourage those who need to use different software now to check back on InSite yearly because they are actively improving and expanding their product.

This is fairly intuitive and easy to use takeoff software. It is simple and focused, and does not bog the user down with dozens of rarely or never used modules or commands, which is fantastic for new users. The learning curve is very short compared to other software. Their approach to stacking layers is a time saver. Having matched cursors on all screens at once is a fantastic tool and the 3D views are extremely useful and draw quickly. The ability to export to landXML or .dwg enables me to use InSite for GPS modeling as well The technical and customer service is very personal and responsive. They are US-based and located in the same building as the software development team. The software is also updated frequently, they are actively working on new features and bug fixes; most of the items I've mentioned to them for improvement over the past months were already on their radar and a number have already been fixed in subsequent updates.

As a relatively new piece of software, Elevation Pro is still in the young adult stage and is missing a few useful features. The core functionality is solid, but some peripheral items are still lacking. Examples are a lack of robust zoom controls, live updating of the 3D view, the ability to trace just part of a vector (partial line-tracking), and automated software updates. A number of those, I'm given to understand, will be addressed soon in a 64bit release.

Im still learning the software, but the customer support help has been helpful

The customer support help has been very helfpul. I also like seeing the color for depths of cuts and fills

It takes some time getting used to but im learning

Overall this program has helped our company feel more confident about the cut/fill numbers we are using.

I appreciate how straight forward the program is. I am able to use this product to visualize the proposed site which is useful in figuring the logistics of the project.

Sometimes reading the reports can be a little confusing but it takes practice to understand.

InSite is an excellent product. My company is a General Contractor and we use the system for takeoffs to assist with budgeting and reviewing subcontractors quantities in hard bids. My estimating team and I have utilized both their on site training classes and virtual classes to help us become proficient. Every update has been a step to make this easier and smoother to use.

3D Elevations are what we utilize most as it helps show our clients their end product. We also love to show clients options for balancing their sites to help add value and savings.

I miss the sloping lines option that you could click points in a line and make them connecting spot elevations. You kind of still have this option but it's not as easy as it was years ago.
