Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Super easy to use - rational and affordable pricing - super responsive support - truly adaptive and flexible - collab is instant - not cluttered with useless or complicated extras

Cons

  • Nothing. There were a couple of little things that I liked about other software (backspace to delete last point, etc) that I mentioned to the team, and they went out of their way to ADD THEM to their product. There's literally nothing I don't like about Buildee.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As an old school QS/Estimator, who was brought up on using paper drawings and take-off sheets, this has been mind blowing. I have been using a free on line take-off system, that has no back up and will eventually be taken down, together with my own take -off and estimating Excel spreadsheets. I love the ability to screen shot my mark ups and add them to my take-offs for future reference. I have seen others using Bluebeam and I would consider Purple Hammer to be above and beyond this system. The ability to compare drawing revisions is a great feature. We all know the architects who like to push out drawing revisions and not actually cloud the revisions.

Cons

  • The only con at the moment is my own limits. I'm looking forward to Ari Isaacs showing me how to incorporate my own take-off sheets. Looking forward to being able to exploit it's features
