Pros:

I can estimate any Residential roof with ease and precision

Cons:

This program doesn't handle Large scale products too well, Commercial and Industrial type estimating needs more attention by the Developers to work efficiently (this can be done with precision but is not very efficient in terms of time taken). Wall Cladding Needs a lot of work to work efficiently

Vendor Response

G'day Rodney, thanks for your review. As you know, we are never sitting still at AppliCad. We have a few updates that might deal with the extra requirements you have identified. I will be able to share these with you in a little while, after our own comprehensive testing. Chat soon.

The Best Roof Estimating Software our there!

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Roofwizard is a great program! It is based on the universally wellknown autocad platform and catered to the roofing market. modeling and modifying is simplified for even a basic user. and the training provided by AppliCad both onsite and online breaks down using the software into an easy to understand format. The modeling capabilities of the software combined with the software's capability to be used with multiple other software formats and the willingness of the Applicad folks to to help make their software best work for you gives this program nearly unlimited potential for multiple facets.

Cons:

As a US user, some of the standard formatting seems to get a bit jumbled when converting from metric. Seems like some of input going out to the 3rd or 4th decimal gets lost in translation. Also, things that might be considered "Default" settings are scattered about the software sometimes making them difficult to diagnose. Defaults also seem to follow the .dab file they are attached to rather than adjust the defaults of the .dab file to your machine. Could be incorrect there.

Worth it if you invest the time

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Comprehensive take off system, that is very accurate. Absolutely love Block Cutting and the ability to show Contractors where certain roofing needs to go.

Cons:

To set up correctly takes ages, and to set up correctly you need more than and entry level knowledge of computers, also if you don't have knowledge of how a long run roof goes together (off cuts flipping over and going to opposite of hip etc), well you need that knowledge, unless you're using it to just to get a Square Metre rate. In the age of instant gratification it's not instantly user friendly. If the set up could be streamlined in some way, it would go a long way... Honestly the set up is the biggest thing.

Ease of use

Pros:

Roof Wizard can do anything you want it to, It's only limited by the user.....Applicad has excellent customer service, support & back up. If you find yourself struggling all that's needed is a call or email and POW!!! problem sorted!! Team Hamilton have been using Applicad's suite of products for over 10 years. Roof Wizard & Warlock (for walls / siding) have now been merged / combined into one powerful package.

Cons:

It has some steep learning curves but Michael Schumacher didn't get in his F1 and scorch the tarmac first time either, hey?

Pros:

If you're in the roofing business and your not using Roof Wizard you're not in the roofing business, this software does it all from preparing the quote for the client to material and work orders. In the 15 years I have been using Roof Wizard I have not found a roof that cannot be accurately & quickly modelled, from there it all just flows.

Cons:

I have not found any major problems using Roof Wizard when there are minor glitches the customer support is both friendly and helpful.

Pros:

We like the product as it provides an accurate & quick estimate, Once the drawings have been completed, every thing else to produce the quotation/estimate, has fairly well been done, just whip the price off to the customer.

Cons:

The thing I like least is the amount of training involved, having said that, once trained properly the product is powerful and fast to use

Pros:

Easy take-offs from digital files or overhead pictures. Dead accurate material order lists, includes every piece, screw, flashing, etc. Makes it easy to quote very different materials at one time.

Cons:

A little bit of a learning curve, but once you get a handle on it, you'll find it's easier to model the job then to bother with the calculator.
