Fairly easy to use and learn > > **Cons**: They may have added since I last used, but needs customizable items > > I use for expert opinion reports, helps me use professional/expensive estimators less ----- ### "Active Takeoff Review" — 5.0/5 > **Haley** | *13 February 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy to operate the software is. I tried many programs before this one, but this one had the best bang for your buck, easiest to learn and most transparent to translate to the client. > > **Cons**: The real only issue I have with the software is the routing the paths of the files. I've had to switch computers a few times, and the licensing can be a bit difficult to get transferred to a new computer, as is the transferring of the files. If I did not have technical support from my company, I wouldn't know how to do it myself. > > I've been using the software for about four years now, and it has been very easy to work with and simple to train others with as well. I think there could be a few items added to help highlight automatically without going through everything myself, but overall, the software was exactly what I was looking for at the time of purchase. ----- ### "One of the only takeoff options with the ability to record wire drops" — 3.0/5 > **Paul** | *18 November 2016* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has electricians in mind. Can record wire runs and has a better organizational structure than Planswift. > > **Cons**: Doesn't have a very detailed help file. Doesn't integrate with any major products except Excel. > > Fairly easy to pick up basic functions. Help file is abysmal. Extensions are there, but aren't explained very well. One of the only takeoff programs I've found that can actually record wire drops and rises throughout the run. ----- ### "Exterior companies Review" — 5.0/5 > **Curtis** | *13 November 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use, the more complicated uses that I don't need are easy to turn off to simplify everything. > > **Cons**: The only issue I have is that it seems to hide my saved projects every time I update the software but that's probably easy to fix if I put my mind to it. > > Faster quote turn around times, allow me to get more projects and have more profitable quotes since I'm not spending so much time that I don't mind charging more. ----- ### "In my opinion the best takeoff software on the market" — 5.0/5 > **Nick** | *29 July 2016* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its quite intuitive making it easy to use from the get go but also has a level of depth to it once you become more established. Its very good value for money when compared to other products on the market that are both harder to use and more expensive. > > **Cons**: It would be nice to be able to change the currency used for estimations. This may be an option I have not learned yet. > > Prior to using this software I was scaling and taking measures by hand which was extremely time consuming for me and difficult to get perfectly accurate. I tried other similar products but found them no good and so complicated it was not worth bothering. I then trialed this software and was amazed at how easy it was to use. Drawings that would have taken 2 to 3 days to measure by hand can now be measured quickly in minutes or hours which means I can provide quotations to clients much faster and more accurately. After the trial period came to an end purchasing the product was a no brainer. It has paid for itself after just one week of use. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2057844/active-takeoff?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2057844/active-takeoff) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
