Pros
"What I like best is its ability to touch various stages of construction, right from tendering, up to the execution phase, and definitely even until the closeout of a construction project."
"Quick easy to pick up and to set up valuables in the pricing worksheets"
"The content of available items of work for estimating,including rate of work schedules. Though I used the trial version I would buy the software as soon as I have resources"
Cons
"Overall it is good software. I would like to see more option for formatting takeoff measurements like line formats, colours. Also would like to see a combine dashboard for takeoff and pricing. "
"Nothing. Maybe a few tweaks like if you can show the data you takeoff on the same screen like Planswift, but over all this is a great tool that you can use on all your projects"
"I just started using it, didn't find anything to comment about yet. Although there were some times it didn't respond properly. "

Its a user friendly, cost effective and remote solution to manage construction projects.
able to do quick takeoff. Accessing project data on cloud from anywhere. No need to install software and carry your laptop everywhere.
Pros
It helped me uploading drawings quickly and doing take-offs. I liked user interface and and measurement tools available. It gives me option to export data in to PDF and excel formats. Resource and pricing module is best to workout labour, material and preparing rate analysis. And best thing is it is all integrated across its all features. Good to do cost control and agile management using project dashboard.
Cons
Overall it is good software. I would like to see more option for formatting takeoff measurements like line formats, colours. Also would like to see a combine dashboard for takeoff and pricing.

GREAT PORTABLE TAKEOFF AND ESTIMATING TOOL
Quantity takeoffs/material estimates that are needed on for bidding works or current projects. The benefit of this is that you dont need to install this for each every computer. You just need to purchase the number of users at very reasonable amount.
Pros
Being a quantity surveyor, estimates and takeoffs are my main tool in doing my job. What I like about this tool is it is user friendly and can be easy to learn. Also I like the graphics resolution. The best part of this is you can access your projects anytime, anywhere you want even if you don’t bring your PC's or laptops and you can share your work with your team
Cons
Nothing. Maybe a few tweaks like if you can show the data you takeoff on the same screen like Planswift, but over all this is a great tool that you can use on all your projects

The import SoP from excel mapping tool is very helpful.
Best of all you can shared all projects to collaborate colleagues
Pros
The system has been a lifesaver so far, and we are only utilizing a small percentage of it. Once I master one aspect I take on another and with each new function I am so thrilled. Easy to use and amazing functionality!! The support team are amazing and extremely knowledgeable about all the features of the software.
Cons
There were some issues with the functionality that did not fit with our business model. I expressed this to the support staff and he took my concerns to his developers to work on adding these items in the future.

GREAT FREE ONLINE ESTIMATING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPLICATION
Overall, It has a lot of benefits! You can save money and time! Trust me.
Pros
As a Senior QS Engineer and a freelancer having free software have great help to my work. There's a lot of paid software but still the same features. The Methvin is really different - It has a lot of feature and user-friendly. It can lessen your time, money and very accurate. The features of the application are really easy to understand and it is not just for estimation but also can provide great help in project management.
Cons
Actually, I have nothing dislikes about this software. There are some features that are still under development at this moment but for the time it works, Methvin will be one of the best estimating and project management software for me.

Well-Equipped Construction Software
I was able to utilize it properly in its platforms in project management and estimating. I realized that I can be able to effectively address my tasks using this software without the need for more elaborate or pricey applications.
Pros
What I like best is its ability to touch various stages of construction, right from tendering, up to the execution phase, and definitely even until the closeout of a construction project.
Cons
The Gantt scheduler needs to be a little more developed so that it can cater to all possible types of construction projects.

Flexible in structure your cost estimate
Pros
It allows additional steps procedure to build into any items in the BOQ, but all or some of these steps and procedures need not be presented to the client, but all cost associated with are linked to the intended items of the BOQ. Plus it allows multiple estimators to work simultaneously on an estimate with very little limitation.
Cons
Like any other software, it takes time to get familiar with the navigation.
