What a great company and software

Publié le 2020-02-17

Perfect.

Avantages

I called today for support. I spoke to the original person who designed the software in 2014. I found out I was one of the first 20 customers to purchase it in the United States.
I cannot tell you how happy I have been with this software and the customer service. Incredible.

Joe

Inconvénients

Nothing it works great once you build your formulas.

Great product

Publié le 2018-11-13

My overall experience has been great. I was using another take off software and Active Takeoff is far better. I enjoy using this software and if I ever have a question the support team is spot on. Very pleased.

Avantages

The overall layout and design. Easy to use.

Inconvénients

Wish they had curve points and auto counter

Good program. Needs a few minor Adjustments

Publié le 2018-11-13

Thus far, it’s been adequate. I can’t use it for some of my Plans, which defeats the purpose.

Avantages

The Software is pretty easy to use. The reports are great for keeping tabs on several different

Inconvénients

The scale needs to be a little more inclusive. I find several Plans with a 3”-1’ scale and Active Takeoff does not offer that option. Manual adjustments are fine, but often times there are not any good measurements provided to set that scale.

If they was to fix the above problems and implement suggested updates then I would give this product 10 out of 10.

Avantages

Easy to understand layout. Reasonable Price.

Inconvénients

No Auto save so lose work unless you manually save all the time. Issues with memory, have to close other programs to make it function properly sometimes.

We do a lot of take off from houses to condos to rental buildings with it.

Avantages

I liked the corners highlighting in red when you do the take off.

Estimating Software

Publié le 2018-12-04

Avantages

Very simple to use and figure out without any prior knowledge of this software. Speeds up the process of doing takeoffs with the extensions features.

Inconvénients

Although this is very good at figuring out the estimates for the basic trades, if you're looking for more niche trades, those have not been added yet.

Réponse de Quoter Software Traduire en Français

Hello James,

Thanks for the great review. Our new Estimating item feature lets you build your product/labour/equipment inventory then edit your own quantity generating formulas. Pretty much any niche is covered. Please contact our support desk for a quick demo.

New technology helping residential remodeling company in Boise

Publié le 2016-06-23

I am new to the world of takeoffs. As a remodeling contractor I always thought takeoffs were for big commercial companies. The program is fun and intuitive. There are a few tricks and shortcuts that I am starting to incorporate. The estimating component is out there for me to learn. Other than a few frustrations with my lack of experience and the way I do thing vs the way the industry does them. I am adapting and enjoying the program very much.

Avantages

It is easy and fun to use. It makes my estimates extremely accurate. It has all the functionality that I need in my residential remodeling business. My designer wants to use it but I am having too much fun to give it up.

Inconvénients

There are some features that I have asked for that do not exist yet. I have figured out how to work around them so nothing bad to say. My understanding is that it is a little less flexible and powerful than some far more expensive software packages but I am perfectly OK with that.

Good

Avantages

The software is extremely easy to use really takes no time to learn.

Inconvénients

I would like to see a scale that goes up to at least 1 1/2" currently the software only goes up to 1" and there are a lot of drawings that are 1 1/2" scale and this has to be done manually and it takes time.

Great product, great service

Publié le 2017-01-09

Not many companies offer the level of service that these guys do. Active takeoff is easy to use, easy to setup and makes tracking estimates effortless. I have used just about every piece of takeoff software out there and this program is by far the best.

Avantages

Super easy to setup, tracks all of my takeoff and sort info exactly how I need it in reports.

Inconvénients

Sharing takeoff files from one machine to the next isn't available yet, but I hear that's in the next update. Other than this...The software is flawless.

Publié le 2018-11-20

Saving time completing take-offs

Avantages

Very easy to navigate around the system to access and use the features. The system has halved the time it takes to complete a take-off.

Inconvénients

If the copy and paste feature was improved for example if it was possible to copy an item and paste in a specific location, currently the item overlays which means the copied item has to be moved to the required destination.

Also the extension feature could be improved.

Publié le 2018-11-13

I use it every day to do my takeoffs. I find it accurate, even lets me set the slope and calculate the needed materials

Avantages

Simply add your plans as .pdf's, set the scale, and do your takeoff. Easy Peasy

Inconvénients

Sometimes when it opens, the window doesn't appear and I have to right click the mouse and say show windows and it pops up.

Quick and Simple to Use

Publié le 2018-11-20

Avantages

The product is simple to use, with all the tools clearly labeled and it is fast to use.

Inconvénients

There are a few selections I would like to see for the reports. Having a cubic yard item to total the takeoff with is handy, but I would like to see a little more flexibility with the quantification. For example, I would prefer to have the option to choose square yards of concrete rather than cubic yards, as I have to do a little additional multiplication.

Easiest takeoff app I've ever used

Publié le 2018-11-16

None. Love the product.

Avantages

The graphic user interface is familiar if you're a Windows user, and most of us are, so to me that's what makes the app so easy to use. In my opinion, if you've ever used the On Center On Screen app, learning how to use this app is a breeze.

Inconvénients

No "cons" in my opinion. Fully functional from the time it's downloaded.

Avantages

Easy to use. Easy to get started with this software. Customer service is awesome.

Inconvénients

Could use more templates. For instance Square Yards.

Electrical Contractor

Publié le 2018-11-13

Ideal for take off for tender preparation, especially handy for domestic work. Very limited when it comes to commercial tenders where there are more accessories to count, Biggest problem for me is lack of proper icond ie square ,circle,diamond. Should be proper symbols.

Avantages

Easy to use, provides simple take off's , simple yet effective.

Inconvénients

Not enough icons/symbols. I am an electrical contractor and would love to have electrical accessories symbols.

Thoughts

Publié le 2018-11-13

So far so good. Looking forward to updates in the future to accommodate more for the finish contractors.

Avantages

It's ease of use, it is very self explanatory.

Inconvénients

It doesn't have customizable features for flooring. It is hard to measure for trim and/or base because there isn't an applicable extension. And the fact that there isn't a snap to feature, so it is hard to get a straight line quickly.

Active Takeoff

Publié le 2016-07-30

I have been using Active Takeoff for a few months now & find it great to use. I think it is great value & easy to use. I did have a problem when I bought a new computer & transferred all my files over. Active Takeoff was not working but after contacting the support team I had an answer very quickly & it turned out to be an issue with the name of my user file nothing to do with the program Active Takeoff.

Avantages

Great Price, Easy to load, User friendly.

Great takeoff software. Worth the money.

Publié le 2015-11-14

I have used many different estimating programs, including some of the most sophisticated and expensive ones. These systems were abandoned because they were too awkward to easily use or from lack of support and costly upgrades. Active Takeoff has been a breath of fresh air. Being gun shy about estimating software, I played with trial version extensively, before buying. I found Active Takeoff to be extremely easy to use and very intuitive. The program has adequate horsepower for any estimates that I do. It plays well with MS Excel and Adobe PDF programs. This estimating program has exceeded my expectations. Two Thumbs Up!

Publié le 2016-02-01

I demoed a variety of take-off packages and for the price this one seemed to be the best value for what we were looking for. The software is missing some features (like an arc-creation tool and ability to add custom extensions) that I saw in other, more expensive packages, however to be fair these packages were at least twice the price of ActiveTakeoff. Overall I'm very happy with the program so far, and when I do have a quesiton or concern, the responsiveness of the customer service has been fantastic.
