It’s always been a one time fee plus an optional “maintenance fee” which basically covers upgrades to the software. I don’t even use the latest version. They have barely changed anything for the last 10 years.
Thanks for your response , I might have to try the programme and possibly switch from blue beam. Looks way easier to use. I don’t like how slow it is to create layers and label everything in blue beam
@samhenderson9975 I used to use Bluebeam for my takeoffs many years ago but switched to Planswift. I has a great search feature and you can turn on and off the layers.
I'm looking to get a job being a estimator for any company across the country doing concrete estimating. I've been a mason in our family business for 25 years and running it for more than the last 6 years. I'm done with that so I'm buying planswift and wondering if with your program also will it be possible to become a expert estimator. Is your program good for someone just looking to become an estimator for anyone's company across the board.
Hey Anthony. I have a model called “Bid Machine Mastery” where I teach you our exact process on how to estimate. It’s perfect for owners and employees of the company.
@@johnnynasser2544 I can do it in my free time just to give you an example on how it works , if you need you can send me drawings and I'm sure after you see my work we can come to an agreement ☺️🤝
I'm looking for a job as an estimator for any company nationwide doing all types of flooring estimate and countertop Work, I have 3 years of experience in it. I am proficient in Bluebeam Revu, Measure Square, and Planswift software. I am also ready to do freelancing work if you have any vacancies please let me know.
@@KyleH-1990 Hello, I prefer using MeasureSquare for building material takeoff because it offers better features than Bluebeam Revu and PlanSwift. In MeasureSquare, it's easy to calculate the direction of seams for carpet and wall tile, floor tile patterns, wall tile patterns, and material wastage. We can also find out the exact material quantities in MeasureSquare. PlanSwift is also a good software for takeoff and counting, allowing for easy addendums and overlaying drawings to be checked.
I hope you’re doing well. I offer comprehensive estimating and takeoff solutions for all residential and commercial projects, regardless of size. I am using Planswift. I provide detailed estimates and charge per project based on its scope and size.
I’ve actually never heard of them. I’m going to look into them. At the end of the day all the estimating programs do the same thing so it doesn’t really matter which one you pick. What matters is is that whoever is doing the estimating knows what they are doing and doesn’t miss things. It also matters that you have the pricing since the pricing changes all the time.
To be honest, I don’t really like all those automations. The AI’s and object identifiers don’t even work that well in most software they’re at best 50%. But again if it works well for you then all the software do basically the same thing. I only use Planswift for the search functionality and the layers.
It has object recognistion , i use plainwift 11 ! @lso it has area fill Before u comment , make sure you have that knowledge about this spftware Anyways thankyou have a good day
Nah it won’t. If projects and plans were standardized, then yeah it would be super easy to do this. But there are always conflicts and issues and we are years away from this happening. There are some they claim to help you with AI but all they do is trace walls that it recognizes, but it really doesn’t understand the construction elements to make, real life decisions.
Thanks for that info. Xactimate isn’t really designed for commercial construction. It’s more for insurances claims. Are you using Xactimate for your estimates?
@@iambuilders I do water damage sales and just using Xactimate as an example of expensive software.I will need help in the near future to bid on commercial demo jobs
Still autocad + Excel can make things much easier
Will we need to send you a set of plans for you to tell us the cost of your estimating? I'm a general contractor. Thank you
Awesome Jorge. Send them to info@iambuilders.com
Actually need some info. I’m actually a Subcontractor loosing a lot of work because I don’t have time to estimate.
Thanks for the review, can you confirm that this a one time purchase ?

What in house costing tool did you build? Can you show examples of this?
What exactly do you mean?
@@iambuilders You mentioned you have built a in house costing tool
Have you ever used BIM model for estimating?
I haven’t but typically you see that on very large projects. Most projects are estimated using digital takeoff software and pricing software.

Hi Anita. For takeoffs, do you have a preference Planswift or Bluebeam Revu? Why do you prefer one over the other?

What do you think of costx as an alternative?

I am estimation engineer & plan swift expert
That like revu bluebeam
Planswift its way more advance
@@lucio20006totally agreed more advanced and organised way
Is too basic for these days. It doesn’t have object recognition and area fill
