I like the older version better than the newer version, the older one is more comfortable for me, easier to use. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The document upload process is very easy, and the zoom feature makes it much easier to view plans in detail than with other Software #### Cons They keep updating the software, but I don’t really like all of the new features. In particular, the measurement tool has become difficult to use. I often struggle to draw a straight line, and the measurements are not always accurate. --- ### Easy To work with - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: SERGIO DAVID V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 10/10 Satisfaction. The platform is very versatile, user-friendly, and easy to use for both simple and complex tasks. The tools are intuitive, the interface is well organized, and the overall experience has been smooth, efficient, and reliable throughout my use #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Its a very user-friendly website with self-explanatory tools that make the platform easy to navigate and use. The interface is clean, organized, and efficient, which helps save time and makes the overall experience smooth and convenient for daily tasks. #### Cons Sometimes the platform feels a little slow, although it may be related to my internet connection or when using a VPN. Aside from that, the experience has been good overall, but improving the loading speed and responsiveness would make it even better. #### Reasons for switching to STACK Company Policies , My company was already using Stack too --- ### Bid Manager - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kendall S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We are still enjoying the software and the ease it does bring to our process. Customer support is always top notch and I look forward to the other enhancements to come. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I recently had a wonderful experience with the support team. I was confused about a calculation on a takeoff. I chatted in and after a few messages back and forth I was offered to hop on a quick Zoom call. I was able to share my screen and within a minute or two we had everything figured out. It was seamless and so easy! #### Cons There is still not a mobile device app for the takeoff/estimate program. The website version on a mobile device is read only and is not a great experience at this time. --- ### A fast and accurate solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ron C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Industrial Automation - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros STACK provides us with a high-performance cloud environment to perform digital takeoffs directly on PDF or DWG drawings. Custom equipment libraries ensure our cost estimates consistently reflect up-to-date pricing for our automation components. #### Cons Navigating massive, high-resolution industrial drawing sets in a web browser can occasionally cause performance lag if the internet connection fluctuates. --- ### STACK has made my life FAR better - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Erik K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, it is WAY better than any of the other services/apps we have used, and keeps getting better as they develop it more and more. We just added the AI and it is legitimately useful for certain things. I’d estimate that we have cut our take-off and estimating time by about 30% because of changing to STACK, and that we are getting considerably more accurate reviews. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Awesome support, great people, clean interface, support for detailed assemblies, ability to build out and maintain your own instance without having to hire someone, very sophisticated estimating interface, constant stream of upgrades and improvements. #### Cons There is always room to make it better - like every app we use I can think of things I’d love to have added. And, like everyone I have found small details which for my own uses would ideally work differently, but when I ask about them I generally can see that the reason it is designed the way it is was because of what the majority of users need. #### Reasons for choosing STACK Pretty sure we tried all the major players, it was a lot of them! All the reasons I cited in my review. And it has proven to be a very wise choice. We are renewing for the third year next month. #### Reasons for switching to STACK We have tried several others previously and needed a more robust solution with a far better interface and usability. I dont recall the names anymore and just picked the above because it made me pick one. --- ### Stack Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Riley A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, it is a mostly great experience. I prefer it over most other estimating software's I have tried. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The thing I like the most is the actual look and design of stack. It feels very modern compared to other software. I like how everything seems to flow together and everything is east to find. #### Cons Price compared to others is extremely more expensive. One of our biggest issues is with addendums (updates) for plans. When we receive and update, sometimes we have to replace the whole sheet in the original plan. When we delete the original and drop in the new sheet. It automatically gets put into a random place. If would be VERY helpful if we can move and drag the sheet to the correct order for organization. Some other issues are getting laggy when doing lots of takeoffs. Also, sometime the middle mouse button glitches out and stops moving the sheet. It'll switch to when I click with the left mouse bottom, the screen will move but when I click again it stops. I have to close the program to fix this issue. #### Reasons for switching to STACK The mean reason was not having to load into a sever to connect everyone to the same projects. Stack requires us just to need an internet connection. Also, it's easier to train new employees from the ease of use. --- ### Field & Estimating Approved - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Leti H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. STACK has been a wonderful product for our takeoff needs and we are looking forward to utilizing the estimating features. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Our sales rep, [sensitive content hidden] and trainer, [sensitive content hidden], have been a pleasure to work with. They respond quickly and thoroughly to resolve issues and have provided great support throughout the years. #### Cons Lack of stamp options and we haven't seen the audit feature that we were told was rolling out earlier this month. It would be nice to have a "lock" feature where the bid set cannot be inadvertently modified by takeoff operators - especially as you can't undo it. #### Reasons for switching to STACK We switched from Pro Contractor Studios, but it isn't listed. Files from architects often had layered CAD and would lead to lags/crashing. Wasn't accessible in the field and the quantities didn't adjust when changed. --- ### Stack 2026 - Estimation Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Tyson R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great, been a customer for over 5 years! Will continue to be a customer for the next 5 years. Keep on improving your software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Cloud based can use anywhere with internet. The constant improvements to the software are making it more used friendly and overall better software. #### Cons Sometime it’s a bit slow and has some issues with reloading sheets. Has been down a few times when need to submit bids. #### Reasons for switching to STACK Price and ease of use, procore is not a user friendly. --- ### Stack is a win for the little guys - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: RJ V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The people have been super friendly from the start, and they do always try to help. Being able to use the chat to start support is great as well. I do my best to attend their webinars about new features as well. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The price was very the right mix of features and dollars when compared to other software like it. We are a small operation and couldn't a high purchase price plus training costs. The training was included for stack, which was great. #### Cons For the roofing industry they do not always seem the most knowledgeable about how to help us. Their examples seem to be plumbing or concrete which doesn't always apply to what we are trying to do. #### Reasons for choosing STACK Price and training availability and costs were the main factors. --- ### Stack Review for Demolition in Construction - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: George C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - 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 implemented Stack at 2 construction companies now. One of them as an MEP sub and one as a demolition sub. It's worked great for both if you know how to build it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros User interface and flexibility for building estimates. Excel formula functionality makes it easy to build take-offs. We're beginning to explore linking Stack with Sage Intacct for accounting which is a great feature if it works as described. Customer support is always quick and responsive. #### Cons The servers sometimes have issues causing lag. There have been a lot of changes to the UI recently which causes a minor learning curve for each patch, but overall, it's not a big deal. #### Reasons for switching to STACK The old software was outdated. Stack is far more efficient. --- ### Better software than this one. Don't subscribe - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Zachary Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Terrible. Customer service was horrible, tried to apply for a refund less then 24 hours after purchasing and was denied so now I'm stuck with sub par service for a whole year. DO your homework and don't make the same mistake I did!!!! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I can't think of any pros about my experience with this company. Unfortunately I bought this in a rush and now I'm stuck with them for a year. #### Cons The most basic software out of all the companies I found. They will not give you any kind of refund if you purchase this software. I highly recommend you looking else where. #### Reasons for choosing STACK I wish I didn't. It was a rushed decision that I highly regret --- ### Fast Deployment, Easy to train and use. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Evan M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Wholesale - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our partnership with Stack has a been amazing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The simplicity of the takeoff software is great. A new user can be comfortable with the whole program in just a few weeks of use. The tools are powerful and intuitive to use. #### Cons Sometimes the simplicity has its drawbacks. Wouldn't mind more flexibility in symbol size and shapes. #### Reasons for choosing STACK Easy API Integrations. Better cost efficiency. Stack is easy to work with company to company. Customer service is top notch #### Reasons for switching to STACK Cost of upgrading and maintaining our custom software was not sustainable --- ### Reality vs Perception & Potential - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: David M. - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Not any of our problems yet. Not any reason we bought it, has it created a solution for, but I still see how it can and hopefully will over time, and that is why I am still here. Well that and probably because I don't want to admit that maybe we should have waited till they had a finished product with the kinks worked out. while this may cause eye rolls... Put yourselves in our shoes. If a customer purchases up front, 100% of a roof from me because I showed them a picture of a finished roof and told them it was a complete ready to go finished roof, yet only put on 50-75% of it and then said well I will be back next year to finish the rest, sorry about the inconvenience in the mean time. Would that be ethical? No! It would not, yet that is exactly what stack ct did to us and that is what iroof did to us, and that is what roofsnap did to us, and that is what adobe does to us, and, and ,and, and it is wrong. These are not the things employees doing the work decide, it is the work of those in charge and investors. So I don't and won't blame the workers, but I do blame the rest of you. Please consider what I have taken the time to share and please be motivated intrinsically to do better! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I liked the super awesome sales and teaching staff when they can be reached. the support staff excluding 1 that are available and pretty much only by email do not in any way provide the same level of connection, community, support, or personal touch the others do. #### Cons Since all the soft ware companies we reviewed over the last year follow the same pattern of, promise the moon before we buy, show us what it will look like when its finished, but cannot deliver what they promised when they were courting us, because they sell an incomplete project knowing we roped in for a year, it must be ok right? NO! IT'S NOT OK! I had to promise a kidney to get the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] to purchase this product, I showed the perceived time savings, the better product, and etc. Yet when we bought it I was able to show him anything but a prettier product. Do I think we will get there and do I think its a good program? Yes and Yes but it may be as much because I want to believe it is without the actual proof there to definitely say it is. I just hope I can Convince him to let me renew the subscription next year cause it is going to take me all of a year to learn this system well enough to make it pay. Between how much slower i am at turning out these estimates even though they are better, and how many important and promised functions are either not actually functional or they are at not user friendly without 1 on1 help if they are functional etc. #### Reasons for choosing STACK money and integration with builder trend and excel #### Reasons for switching to STACK I believed this would serve both the commercial and residential departments with 1 product that appeared to be very complete and user friendly. Also because I believed it would drone measure better and it would be faster and more easily integrated into our overall go to approach, and it would scale better. Very little of this ended up being the case so far. --- ### Real review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Rick C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It’s a good tool but expensive for what it does. It works but AI will make it obsolete for many customers if you don’t stay ahead of the curve and start offering customer focused solutions. Why would I pay these huge subscriptions otherwise #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Takeoff tool easy to use and visually effective Ability to Turn on and off takeoffs. Easy enough to create assemblies #### Cons No real history / snapshot of estimate. Once assembly changes your estimate changes. Poor AI integration to be able to get estimate into your own presentation template No customer support for Australia time zone No schedule and or cashflow integration. Not a project management tool. It’s an estimating tool. --- ### Great Estimating Tool for Electrical Contractors - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Isaac G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, STACK has been a valuable tool for our electrical estimating workflow. It has helped us improve consistency, reduce manual estimating time, and keep our bids more organized as our company continues to grow. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros STACK has helped us speed up our estimating process, stay organized, and build more consistent proposals. The takeoff tools, assemblies, and templates make it easier to price projects accurately and save time on repeat scopes. #### Cons Some proposal formatting options are limited, especially when trying to create clean tables or customized layouts directly inside STACK. More flexibility with proposal design would be helpful. --- ### Great tool! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chad B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very happy with it! I was hesitant at first and it sounded like it was too good to be true but once we started using it, I realized it's a great product #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The software works fantastic and I haven't had any issues and it's really easy to use. As I mentioned below, I was very hesitant about using this software and figure there'd be a bunch of issues where I'd have to create my own workarounds, but it's been seamless #### Cons As of right now, I haven't found anything that I did not like about Stack. It's rare that I buy software where I didn't find anything about it that I do not like. I'm sure people will be very hesitant about using it, but you won't be disappointed --- ### Stack Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Dylan H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall we use the every day and we like it. We track many aspects of our projects with it and it is extremely helpful. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The scaling feature works really well as well as having the ability to isolate items and keep the separated #### Cons The printing from stack can be tricky to figure out as it downloads to pdf and then you have to open a new pdf to print --- ### Project manager/ Estimator - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Christian M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has been great so far. Very user-friendly application. I will find out more as I use the application, but very pleased so far. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like how well the plans get sorted and downloaded. It is a great platform to perform take offs with. #### Cons Sometimes you have to sign out and then sign back in for certain features and functions to work properly --- ### Stack more jobs with STACK - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ben R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has been great! Everything runs smoothly, its very easy to upload plans and get to work. Stack has help me boost my work productivity and in turn helped me gain some more customers with be able to get the quotes out quicker. If I could give it more then 5 stars I would! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like how easy and user friendly stack is. The live chat feature is great, anytime I have had a question or needed help I have got the answer within a few minutes. #### Cons I have not found a feature that I do not like. Some features I do not and will not use because of the industry I am in. --- ### STACK Review - Marine Vessels - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Paul W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Maritime - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My overall experience is good. No complaints. Easy to get my takeoff for my estimates. The ability to give your drawings a colored key is an big plus. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The ease of setting up a job folder and applying pdf files. The ease of having other people in your company log on to view the takeoffs without having to send them via email like a cad file. #### Cons Understanding how to set up the libraries, tags, lables, reports, and estimates. Sometimes the automatic line grab gets annoying when im trying to grab a faint line the program doesnt pick up. --- ### Positive Experience - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Erik L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Positive. I've only had to reach out to customer service once and they got back to me promptly. It's an easy program to learn. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to upload plans as well as export and identity sheets that I need when large files are sent to me. #### Cons Sometimes bugs out and I have to refresh the page. Sometimes also bugs out when I create an item, it doesn't register, and when I go to create it again both copies are there. --- ### STACK Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Vicky S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Good. I am new to the company so it has been a learning experience. It is definitely user friendly. I like how everything automatically saves. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like how you can search specific words and numbers in your plans. It highlights everything for you. #### Cons The overview is hard to get back to again after you've clicked on multiple items. Its hard to find your way back to all items. --- ### Stack is the best estimating software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lizneth G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am not an estimator but was a Project Manager and the way I could get exactly what I needed from Stack and even being able to convert data into a CSV was amazing. I wish when I was interviewing an estimator they came across this system because it does take a little bit of transitioning from such a robust software they previously used to our easy system. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Simplicity yet so much can come from it. There's endless videos on how to use. Building assemblies is such an easy thing to do. Collaboration is also done and you are able to track time spent on each estimate and job cost. Love how great the style is and the way it is kept easy and simple to navigate. Nothing robust. #### Cons Not a lot of people are aware of stack or believe stack is overpriced. Making this system known to others would be great so that whoever we employ already has Stack knowledge. --- ### STACK is one of the most important players on our team! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The problems we're solving with STACK include material estimating for large scale retail remodels and large custom residential homes. It's important to know how much of what type of materials to order - not too much, and certainly not too little. STACK has helped us save money by not over ordering, due to the fees associated with returns. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I began using STACK with an employer that I had worked for several years ago. The ease of use, accuracy, and stellar customer support for the times I really needed it is why I have also decided to use STACK to perform estimations on my own for side jobs and have brought it along with me to my current employer for daily bidding and material takeoff use. I couldn't imagine going back to pen and paper. #### Cons Since STACK is constantly improving and rolling out new updates, I can't think of anything off hand that could be added or improved. There have been a couple of times that I called in with requests that were actually implemented into STACK, which really speaks to their attention to their customers. --- ### We love it - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Matt A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - 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: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The fact that it is all online and our ops guys can see the plans at the jobsite from their phone. #### Cons I love using your software but there are 2 things that I would like for you to improve.Sometimes I upload multiple pages for a project.When I am working on the takeoff you can see On the left the plans that you are working on listed on listed by plan name . It would be nice to be able to go to the pages that you are working on by simply clicking on the page name that is listed on the left side.Slope factorIts great that we are able to measure the basic slope by using the built in slope factor calculator. But that is only helpful for measuring the basic slope of the roof area and the rake and sidewall. But it would be great if you can add the valley and hip factor as well. It is hard to get the exact measurement without that because the hip / valley slope factor is different than the basic slope of the roof. Please see the link below that will explain what I am talking about in regards to the hip and valley.
