About

Demotek is estimating and takeoff software built specifically for demolition and asbestos abatement contractors. It brings the entire bidding workflow — plan measurement, pricing, crew planning, disposal, and proposals — into one platform, replacing the usual mix of Bluebeam, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools. Upload plans in PDF, PNG, or TIFF with searchable pages and instant thumbnails, then take off areas, lengths, and counts directly on the drawing with automatic scale calibration. Price each scope with your own material, transport, and disposal rates and margins, and reuse "scope circuits" that connect materials, sawcuts, and disposal into ready-made unit costs — so you encode a bid once and reuse it forever. Crew planning assigns foremen, laborers, operators, and drivers with burdened cost calculations, while road-based disposal routing prices haul cycles and tipping fees into the bid. Salvage tracking offsets bids with recoverable material value.

Audience

Demotek is built for demolition and asbestos abatement contractors — from owner-operator bid shops to multi-crew structural and selective demolition firms, as well as environmental remediation and specialty subcontractors who self-perform their own estimating. It fits the people who price and run the work: estimators and chief estimators building takeoffs and bids, owners and project managers who need the estimate to hold up in the field, and foremen and field crews logging daily production and time. Whether a company bids a handful of jobs a month or runs continuous structural takedowns and interior demolition, Demotek serves the estimating-to-field workflow that demolition contractors of any size depend on.

Audience

Built for the electrical industry, including estimation software buyers, electrical and data contractors, construction business growth drivers, and users of symbol recognition software.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The speed in which you can enter assemblies in take off. Direct vendor database pricing updates. The extreme ability to customize the software to create speed and accuracy attuned to your companies specific needs.
  • Program is easy to use and has options to dial in your bids. This program has helped our commercial side grow 100% over the last 3 years. Now to get our residential side on board.
  • The assemblies and ability to modify them is great, its turn key out of the box and you can start bidding and winning jobs immediately. You can adjust and modify everything to fit your needs and fine tune your numbers on each project and see the effects of each adjustment in real time.
  • Take off fairly quickly. Relatively accurate for run of the mill items. Has the ability to have a lot of features that may be helpful to some.
  • Its accuracy. Ease of use but that may be because i have used for over 20 years. Still wish it was easier to navigate.

Cons

  • If you want to go deep, the complexity of the software can be daunting and hard to wrap your head around how everything maps. This caused me to use the software at a surface level for many years.
  • New ways of estimating can be hard for some. Growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. There is a lot of information and can look overwhelming. It isn't that bad.
  • Some of the assemblies are outdated and the material database could use some updating for more modern parts. Modifying assemblies can be a bit intimidating.
  • I don't like that Sure Count doesn't seem to be accurate or complete. I cannot get it to accurately count everything automatically, we have to do it manually. They have advanced features, that they have now taken away (such as smart substitution), that used to be in the basic level program, and moved them to the higher priced program bundled with too many features a small business doesn't need. Read: they are not in-tune with their customer base. They don't have cloud back up unless you are on a different program. This is a feature that is now becoming standard in this day and age amongst all software of this cost and magnitude. The worst part of all of this is the terrible customer service when you call to get help with something. They have an attitude about you, and the customer is always wrong. And when you try to call/email a salesperson/manager to try to warn them about their service department's attitude, you don't get through and they don't call you back.
  • Cloud base is hard to get documents out to main computer Hasn't changed in 20 years.
