It is cutting edge software that meets our takeoff and construction requirements in clinical detail. ----- ### "Outstanding Product and Customer Service" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *15 June 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As one of the largest lumber retail companies in the industry, we always work to stay up with new technology trends to ensure we provide our clients with the most accurate estimate for their construction projects. We were looking for a leader in the industry that could provide us with a stable software that would be able to meet our daily demands. The software and the Team at Square Takeoff have went above and beyond meeting every need and has helped us acheive the goals we have set forth as a company. Keep up the great work. > > **Cons**: Nothing yet. Currently the product meets our needs and if we need a feature they are fast to add it. > > Makes me and my team more accurate everyday by allow us to generate better estimates for the top builders in the construction industry. ----- ### "The WORST customer service experience I have ever received - They NEVER call you back." — 1.0/5 > **Mark** | *31 January 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Affordable and ability to share documents and take-offs easily > > **Cons**: Service, and support. When I have a problem no one calls back. We sent at least a half doze e-mails and another seven or eight phone calls. No one calls back. I finally called sales - ha\! got a call back\! But he could not help me. Their customer service is the worst. > > I hate this company because they will not support my needs when I get stuck or the product does not work. ----- ### "Simple But Powerful" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *11 July 2016* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloud based. Easy share feature. Easy to manage bids. Good price. Operates like a desktop solution. Note feature with attachments. > > **Cons**: Missing some features of my desktop software. But spoke to them and they said development would work on them and have already launched one of those features. > > Started using the product a few weeks ago after years of using a competitors product. Only reason for the switch was I upgraded to an iPad PRO for work and my other solution didn't work. I was skeptical at first about using a cloud takeoff solution and was worried that it would be slow. To my surprise it actually works faster than my desktop software. Overall it has a similar feel to my desktop product but worked on my MAC and iPad PRO. Customer service was great and helped me out with a few questions I had. Price was good and the sales rep even saved me more on my monthly subscription. Overall I give them two thumbs up. ----- ### "Construction estimating with Square Takeoff" — 4.0/5 > **Vikram** | *22 February 2023* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Square Takeoff ability to accurately calculate material and labor costs, allowing users to create highly accurate estimates quickly. > > **Cons**: Square Takeoff do not have all the advanced features that require, such as detailed project management tools. > > Square Takeoff covers the essential functions of construction estimating and is a reliable option for businesses looking to improve their estimating process. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/66545/square-takeoff?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/66545/square-takeoff) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
