Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • I use it every day not only for tender estimating but also for cash flows and much more. It is a great product, with great support.
  • Overall I am happy with the product and would recommend any professional in the construction industry to invest in this powerful product.
  • Priced and secured contracts from USD 2 M to 500 M. Ability to build up rates from first principles and has great functions to calculate projects of all sizes and complexities.
  • Cons

  • The inability to integrate with other big-name financial packages is a downer. A one fits all fee structure is frustrating.
  • Some time reports will get error and PDF view will be corrupted.
  • There's no UNDO button, no way to go back if you made a mistake, or simply wanted to play with your project program. You have to go back and redo everything or load a backup.

  • Pros

  • Planswift is like an open-source, do-it-yourself platform. It is awesome in it's capability to write what you need and even design the input screens to look very clean and professional.
  • Anyway I can recommend this software for new users who are looking to have there estimation purpose. I am happy overall quality of the software.
  • When looking into takeoff software this is the clear winner. It integrates well with other programs such as BuilderTrend and it is very easy to use.
  • Cons

  • Terrible customer service. I usually call and have to leave a message and someone might get back to me in 24-48 hours.
  • The other downside for me was that I had to have my computer rebuilt, and the PlanSwift files were stored in a place on my computer that is not routinely copied when an IT tech rebuilds the computer.
  • If you get a live person on their end it's usually "I'll get a technician to call you back. Then I guess you're just supposed to sit at your computer and wait, usually hours or into the next day.
