The various levels and labels are nice, also being able to change colors makes it easy to differentiate between items. > > **Cons**: It adds an extra stem to the takeoff process. You have to upload pdf's into the program, and then organize them before you can work on them. In lieu of just opening a pdf, and measuring items instantly. > > It is a good software for simple takeoffs. Counting widgets, or measuring lines, and areas. Other than that, not much use. ----- ### "On Screen Takeoff Review from a Construction Professional" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *30 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use platform for doing your takeoffs digitally. Working in Multifamily construction, this software is a must have for estimating. > > **Cons**: Learning how to import your blueprints into the software was a little tricky at first. Luckily, On Screen Takeoff has great customer service and help videos within the software itself. > > Overall, I really enjoy using On Screen Takeoff. This software is a great tool for those looking for an easy use and learn estimating software. ----- ### "Used to be the bomb\!" — 4.0/5 > **Jeff** | *25 July 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I't fairly easy to learn and integrate. It's visual and it's fairly robust. If you also pay for QuickBids, it integrates well with that. The tech help service is outstanding. > > **Cons**: It's limited on what it can do. It must convert a PDF file, with it's rich underset of information, to a TIF file, which is just an overlay. The reports are basic at best and there is no help with modifying those at all. > > I used it regularly for more than 2 years and the company considered me a 'power user. Unfortunately, when I changed companies, I could not justify the pricing for the result it produced compared to other programs available now. ----- ### "The Best Estimating Software" — 5.0/5 > **Marvin** | *20 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about On-Screen Takeoff is its capability to work on server level, that has allowed the team to work more efficiently and share information, and review projects, all in the same place. > > **Cons**: Although this is optional, but we got the Takeoff Boost, but personally, I haven't used it a lot, I prefer to do the job manually because of different reasons. > > I have been using this software for almost five years, and it's been the correct tool to get the work done, bids have been awarded, and the results have been great. Software is easy to use and with the right training and knowledge, which is very well provided, we can provide accurate budgets for our customers. ----- ### "Best Take off software I have ever used" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 January 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It takes just as I need it and whenever I want to push it further I find it already does what I want it to. the updates are often and always work. > > **Cons**: If I were looking for a CON really hard I would have to say the only thing that fails this software is look. the user interface is dated and could use some bringing into the modern age > > Speed, performance \& accuracy ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/96/on-center?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/96/on-center) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
