We were looking for a way to go digital in this area. We looked at a couple different software options, and Planswift was the winner. We find the UI to be very intuitive. While we mainly just use the software to mark up items on floorplan, there are lots of other features, such as calculating areas and volumes and creating detailed estimates. There are a number of industry-specific plugins available to help you estimate (Siding, Concrete, Framing and Drywall, etc.) You can import any floor plan, even something sketched on a piece of paper\! We generally import pdfs, but I believe you can import CAD files or jpgs as well. > > **Cons**: There is a bit of a learning curve to learn the software and get set up. However, once you have it tuned for your business, it easily saves hours of time every week. > > The customer service team was really helpful when we were trialling out the software and helped us adapt it to our specific needs. No more paper plans\! And if a floor plan changes, it is easy to add or subtract items. ----- ### "Robust Potential, glitchy programming" — 3.0/5 > **Scott** | *17 February 2017* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Features, easy to learn, lots of customization options > > **Cons**: Glitchy, crashy, ruined my day far too many times with lost/disconnected data \& subsequent reduced productivity > > I've been a Planswift user for last 8 years. The program has a lot of bells and whistles with so many custom options. Its a rather incredible concept but some of the tools like hip/valley tool, comparative overlay and auto count don't work properly. My number one issue with plan swift is the code. I complained about how slow the program would get after just a few hours of measurements, especially when using a lot of joint tool and overlays. I would mostly get silence from customer support when making that comment, it seemed odd but I didn't put much thought into it and just kept upgrading hardware on my PC to compensate. Well, now I have a computer that could animate for Pixar yet Planswift still shows me its hourglass mocking the value of my time. I also noticed it would crash more often than I find reasonable and will also crash excel when open even if not using Planswift at the time. When this would happen, excel was unable to recover my progress in that worksheet. VERY frustrating. So, I started to look into composing better spreadsheet design do compensate. I went to an excel guru with estimating background and after just several hours we were both unsure of how we were to make chicken salad out of the fodder. I decided to go shopping, there are tons of in screen programs out there but if you want takeoff with legends to be able to efficiently convey that fancy estimate you spent hours and days putting together to a team on the forld, there are very few that do it well. Most do not have a joist tool or hip/valley intelligence and many other features Planswift has. But most all the others are faster than P.S. and will allow you to work on multiple jobs at same time (P.S. does not). For the light user on a budget, this could be your ticket and I will gladly sell you one of the four P.S. Licenses I am currently sitting on. But if you want to do whole project estimating that is visually auditable with reliable output that won't slow you down and actually speed this boring, low-to-no paying process down then I suggest you search elsewhere. I found my dream software by mixing tei that have most of what Planswift does combined. But mega faster, without crashing or ever hour classing and better reports I do t have to spend hours cleaning up after exporting. ----- ### "Estimating using PlanSwift" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 November 2018* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: There were a few things that I enjoyed about this software, the ease of finding all of the tools you need to do a take off was very convenient. Also being able to do a take off then drop in the material you are needing and having the software do an estimate for you is also very convenient. > > **Cons**: A con would be that sometimes when you upload a set of drawings they come in messed up, they will be upside down or aligned wrong. The drawings also tend to be uploaded without their sheet names. ----- ### "PlanSwift Review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 November 2021* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Planswift is the pinnacle of takeoff software. > > **Cons**: I would like to see it used on a cloud format so I could access it from anywhere. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2049368/planswift?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2049368/planswift) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
