This offers a centralized location for all drawings, directories for bidders and pre-qualifications if required for the project. There is a slight learning curve as to how to get the correct contacts into the site, but once they are in, it is slick and easy. #### Cons The only con I would have with this software is that there are duplicates and triplicates of some of the contacts and they are never updated. --- ### One of the Best - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: BRITTANY D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall all I highly recommended this software. It is great and works well with me helping to complete my daily job. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love that whenever a project comes through I can track it and then any thing that comes about with that project I get notified. Our Account manager helped me to get the know the platform, walk me through and answered all my questions. #### Cons Sometimes the System freezes maybe to much being put into the system by the General Contractor. But regards I notify my account manager and it is fix pretty quick. I couldn't ask for a better service. Would like to be notified when a project has been awarded and by who. #### Reasons for switching to iSqFt for General Contractors Better customer service. Has tons of work on the platform for me to grab. It has everything I need. --- ### Not what it used to be - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Dani B. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I used iSqFt for a short while before their last major overhaul and it definitely needed to be updated, but they took out a lot of features that make it almost as difficult to work with. I rate software based on the number of clicks it takes me to get something done and the last update has actually added more clicks. Customer Support often has their hands tied because the system "was designed to work that way." #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros A much easier platform to work with. It has an updated feel to it, but this is probably the only good thing about it. I can navigate fairly easily between tabs such as bidder's invite list and the details of the project. I can see fairly easily who has received the invite and who didn't. #### Cons Since the update, I have to now add contacts such as the architect, engineer, general contractor, etc. for a project individually instead of pulling from the contacts list. Some projects have up to 10 different professionals between the architect, mechanical eng, electrical eng, structural eng, site, GC, owner, etc. We even have to enter our own information if we want to add the estimator to the list. Second most frustrating part is the bidder's list. We don't usually invite all bidders so we have a condensed list that we pull from. The site has a main directory and then we can add contacts to our personal directory, but sometimes the actual person isn't the one that we deal with. We can't modify "our" contacts because everything is saved by the email address. If the bidder changes anything, we have to manually sync with our contact list. I believe before, all contacts were "our" contacts. The bidder's invite process is also time-consuming because I have to click a button to expand the spec section and then click the bidders from that section. Then click the next spec section to expand the bidder's list and click the bidder's I want to invite. Clicking individual bidders has always been ok, but the extra step I have to take is opening each spec section rather than just a complete list of bidders. This can add up to 20-30 extra clicks when I'm sending out bid invites. Finding bidders that aren't on our condensed list also takes a lot of work. I have to search for a bidder (maybe by company name, phone, email, etc.) and then select them to add to the bid list. That takes me back to the list of bidders I'm inviting. Each time I add someone, it always takes me back to the main list and I have re-open the search window again to find the next person, not on our condensed list. So the steps are to (1) open the search window (2) type in and search for the company I need (3) select them from the search results (4) add to the list at which point that search window closes. Start back at step (1) again if I have more than company to add. The alternative is to not select bidders from our condensed list, to begin with, but that list is vast and would take just as long, if not longer, to scan through when I'm adding a handful of bidders from one spec section. One other thing I wish they would change was the home projects screen. It shows all active, inactive, and archived projects. I can uncheck the inactive/archived or check the bidding only projects, but it changes back to the default to show all projects every time I log in. I wish I could start each session with just the active bidding projects. They also changed the way documents are saved. Once I upload drawings or specs, I have to manually edit each file with the page numbers. This is minor and I've noticed that most other companies don't even bother to specify the number of pages in each file or the page size. If you upload each spec section as a separate file, making this change (which involves in several clicks per edit) can be very time-to consume. --- ### Excellent Project Management Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jesse S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have used iSqft for over a decade to source and bid on projects. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Isqft is a great source for plans and specs for construction projects. It also allows you to do takeoffs. It is an excellent software for project management. #### Cons Not all potential bids are available so you may need a couple more sources. #### Reasons for choosing iSqFt for General Contractors I had previous experience with it and it was a bit more seamless and an all in one solution. --- ### iSqFt for Construction - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alise F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The company is still making improvements to the software. It is a slow process, but customer service is great at keeping me informed. There is a lot of room for improvement, but overall I am content with this software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Customer service is great, and I've had this software for nearly a year. I love the east of creating projects that will be extended out for bid. The feature of being able to create spreadsheets is fantastic. My favorite feature is probably tracking. #### Cons This software can be rather slow to be an online platform, and the changes that are made take a long time to roll out. #### Reasons for switching to iSqFt for General Contractors I prefer a specific list of invitees. PlanHub sends a project to their entire network. This is not okay! #### Vendor response Alise, thank you for the review! In our next company meeting, I'll give a shout out to customer service. Thanks again!

Overall experience is positive I don’t know what I was doing before it. I’m glad we purchased this software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very easy to search and bid on jobs in our trade this field is so competitive in our area this software is very up to date with continuous opportunities. #### Cons So far I love love this software it helps us so much to see the competition out there and where we can improve at to get our bids in and secure the contract. --- ### Great way to find new business - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Marty R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We use this program to find new jobs that are coming out and to look at plans for jobs that we're working on. It's easy to use. The search can be narrowed or expanded to get a wide variety of plans. They have a bunch of great information online to use. #### Cons ISQFT needs to promote themselves more, so we can get more projects to bid. I'm not sure their Risk Management assessment is the best either. --- ### iSqFt is easy to navigate and manage with very little training. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Donnie B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The easy to use layout of iSqFt is the best thing about it. All of our contacts are in iSqFt so that we can easily send out bid invitations, manage documents, and update the bid status for subcontractors. #### Cons For the most part, iSqFt is in a "data silo". They are starting to dabble in their integration with Procore but before that, there was nothing else that it would talk to. --- ### I get most of my business through iSqFt - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jake M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Oh man, where do I begin... I love iSqFt! I recently started a new business selling/installing window coverings for commercial buildings and I have won most of my bids using iSqFt. It's easy to use, functional, and has tons of users (GC's). My dad works for Atlanta Flooring and also uses iSqFt. He loves to software and gets a large percentage of business through it too. #### Cons The only complaint I have is that sometimes when viewing PDFs it can be a little sensitive, especially when trying to zoom in on large floor plans. However, this could just be user error! --- ### iSqFt - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cliff K. - Industry: Construction - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. iSqFt is an awesome program to use. As long as the General Contractor uses it and you are on their bid list, you will see every bid they post. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 --- ### Working Well - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Aaron S. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

The people are great to work with and readily available for questions. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros ISqFt streamlines our bid process which saves us time and gives us real time feedback on bidder activity. We also like having access to subcontractors in the ISqFt network. Their training and customer service is excellent! #### Cons We are also signed up to have access to bid opportunities that ISqFt lists on it's Bidding Jobs section. In many cases the jobs show up late and not in enough time to bid the project. --- ### Works Well - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nate B. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that there is a large database you can choose from and it makes it easy to send out a project to bid to many different trades at once. It helps get a lot of reply's and makes it easier on you when bidding #### Cons One thing i dont like about isqft is how you cant sync contacts or you cant enter the database without creating a job or project. --- ### Good system if it fits your market well - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Gary R. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Nice system for finding jobs to bid on and reviewing specs/plans. The problem with our market (South Dakota) is they seem to be a little weak in our extremely rural market. If you try the demo and there seems to be a good fit for your market it would definitely be worth the price! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Good for having plans/specs on jobs advertised. Ease of use is good. Good support network. #### Cons seems to have less jobs in extremely rural areas.

It's great for accessing blueprints for bidding jobs. #### Cons It was kind of confusing at first. I think a better demo would be helpful for first-time users. --- ### Nice tool to have to access bids - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Eric W. - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We don't bid on a lot of jobs, but it is nice to have when we do. You can access the necessary documents to put your bid together. #### Cons The convenience of finding a job could be a little easier. I usually have to help coworkers find the job they're looking for, which shows it isn't as easy as you'd hope. --- ### Works for me every time! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dennis A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I am a user from the vendor side.

It seems like the people around me who like it most are the ones willing to spend a lot of time truly understanding its capabilities. --- ### iSqFt for General Contractors - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Craig C. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2016 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I've used the software since it was first released and have purchased it at three separate companies and in each case I was able to show them that it cut the take-off time in half. So its well worth the cost for a small company to invest in the software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros THE EASE OF SET UP AND THE EASY LEARNING CURVE. #### Cons THERE IS VERY LITTLE TO NOT LIKE ABOUT THE SOFTWARE, UNLESS YOU DOING 20+ MILLION DOLLAR PROJECTS WHICH MOST SUBCONTRACTORS ARE NOT DOING. #### Reasons for choosing iSqFt for General Contractors I had used it in the past and it was way more efficient for a small company and why easier to train people on. #### Reasons for switching to iSqFt for General Contractors The produce is much easier to teach people how to use, Timberline for like government jobs is a great estimating software, but was way to complicated for a small subcontractor and not cost efficient, the same with Caladis it was way to detailed for the work we do and it didn't allow for take-off my typical unit or area. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/construction/isqft-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- iSqFt for General Contractors Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
