PlanSwift, by ConstructConnect vs. Quick Bid

I use PlanSwift for all my projects - it has just cut my time by a major percentage when it comes to quantifying a blueprint. At times there are funky areas, which are just hard to calculate on paper. It also has a great tool for scaling according to the dimensions, so if a drawing is missing a scale, you can always allot a scale by giving directions and then marking the points. I use this tool to check the scale as well - sometimes the drawings say something but the scale if off and you are left with an incorrect take-off. The dimension tool is a good way to check that. We don't use it much for pricing purposes though, we have found other software which are more robust when it comes to estimation, but we can see using PlanSwift for pricing sometime in the future.

This is more of an application for companies who are involved in mass bid submissions and do tenders for large scale construction works. In the scenarios of construction business the mass bidders can use this solution relly well. The calculations and reporting also helps with accurate estimations of tenders and bids

• We can put together assemblies that give a true representation of our costs.
• It allows us to dial in markups in certain areas and in the project overall.

• I occasionally have to load drawings at a very low DPI or I get error messages. The resulting poor resolution makes the drawing difficult to read.

• Would like it to be a little more user friendly at startup.
• Would like to have more support from the software customer service to see how we can use it in different departments within our company.
• Better short-cut keys for quicker tasks.

I have called once needing support. I was asking about the "compare" tool to compare different versions. They told be about their desktop app and I downloaded. They answered quickly, you could understand them, and they took care of my question

The customer support has been great. They have helped us work through any issues that have come up.

just know what use you want to get out of it. In our case it was just to do area take offs.

PlanSwift by far is the superior product. Procore is used more universally in our area, but the drawings features by far surpass Procore. We work offline usually with our tablets. This would be the only way to go when working offline. The submittal process in Procore is much better, but that would be the only thing we can see

Due to recommendation by my very known person and also explore fuctions properly which was quite suitable for our business.

• Huge return on investment with time savings compared to manual / hand take off.
• Accurate and reliable numbers to use for your team.
• Creating a single take off for all parties to use, in a single location, removing all guess work or confusion.
• Inspires collaboration by having multiple people work within the same project within the software.

• Quick Bid has had a huge ROI for our company. We would not have been able to grow and take on our large projects without it.
• The efficiency added for the estimators allows us to take on more projects with less staff.
