Opiniones de MeasureSquare

The takeoff and estimating features are extremely beneficial when all the parameters are set up properly. This makes any changes made to the project much easier and efficient. I use the 3D feature extensively to be sure I am capturing all the products on the floors and the walls and is a complimentary aid to send the contractor/owner.

I would like to see a better wall layout when printing the Layout sheets. I would like the option to be able to print out the walls for each room laid out the same way as you see it when clicking "view wall" in the program, rather than being on the side. If I remember correctly, the older FEP programs had that feature.

Flexibility - I can plug in so many different product types for diverse take-offs. I love the ability to just add a very specific product. Being able to draw very specific rooms or even designing things like football fields or personal gyms with logos.

Accuracy- Haven't had any issues with the proper amount of material being given to us. It's always been accurate

The only real con I can think of is it does take a bit of getting used to the program. It took a while before I had everything figured out.

I watched a few youtube videos and practiced a few times until I understood how to navigate and use the program. I think it's initially a little overwhelming with options.

I really like the program, we use it to take measurements of homes by creating 2D floor plans that are exported to be finished in AutoCAD.
MeasureSquare is accurate and fast, as well as being easy to use.

The handwriting could be erased in parts, not whole.

I would not go back to the the graph paper method! This is a critical tool for our field staff.

Learning all the little things the program does and implementation of them.

Ease of Copying Room/Wall Products/Profiles--Big time-saver.
Many nice features--Like "Underlayment".
Great graphics.
I still don't know where the "Flip a Room along the X or Y axis" tool is.
It's great to have so many tools, I just don't know where to find them.

Elevation Tool difficult to use--for Grand Stairways/Auditoriums.
I'd like to see a less cumbersome method of drawing Auditorium Stairs which have all tiers covered with vinyl tile or carpet.

Rather than "nesting" various tools in "buttons" like "Shape/Edit" button, showing all of the tools singularly would be very helpful. I haven't used many of the tools because I cannot find them!

I would like to see the "Set Self-Coving" tool default to the last height entered. i.e. 6"

Manipulating cuts on SV or Carpet Rolls is a bit rugged. I'd like to see moving cuts more user-friendly.

How intuitive the Product really is. As you use it it becomes easier to use.

I still cannot figure out how to apply carpet baseboard to walls - like in M2 2015 Commercial.
I don't know why - it's likely there but I just can't find out how.

iOS Software is easy to use. Integration with laser measurer seamless.Very forgiving isf you make a mistake to simple to correct.

Windows commercial version a bit buggy. Windows integration with laser measurer temperamental at times. Desktop version amazing. Wouldn't take the windows version on a site measure. If you make a mistake it is faster to delete the room and start again than to try and fix.

Measuresquare makes us money. No doubt! Ease of use and continual improvements. Measuresquare staff are enthusiastic and always keen to help.

I always heard of programs where you push one button and everything is done. I have not found one yet and Measuresquare is not one of them either. You still have to learn how to use it.

We liked the forward thinking of MeasureSquare and their team, they are always thinking of better ways to utilize their software. The software we used prior to MeasureSquare was the same estimating software it was 15 years ago, MeasureSquare has improved in the two years we have been using it. They also consistently ask us for feedback and ideas on how to improve their product.

The only complaint that I have had was that the system is very robust with so many functions available, we often do not know it's capabilities.

This product has a very easy learning curve, it does a good job of getting out of the way when all you want to do is focus on getting your takeoffs done. There are tips that flash on the bottom of the screen to help you with commands depending on the task you are trying to achieve.

It would be nice if it could integrate with our bookkeeping software making estimates easy.

Very easy to use software with excellent & quick take off, back up support with 1-1 tutorials available & YouTube clips with handy tips.
Freedrawing functionality is second to none with the ability to triangulate & calculate walls which are hard to reach with a laser.

Could be helpful if there was a way to import new costings ie.. from an excel spreadsheet. Rather than having to input each item individually.

I like the precise measurements we get and the ability to share files with another division (disaster) to do there exactimate take-offs for insurance.

There is probably something I can't think of, but I'm sure they probably have the answer. Maybe the time it took to get proficient using it but it is was quite easy to learn. I did it with a little help from there help desk. Now I have trained the sales staff and they pick it up right away.

Able to complete takeoffs in a precise, efficient manner.
The door tool alone makes this product a more efficient use of time.
The customer service/technical support is really second to none as well. When we have any questions about how to do something within the software, the response time has been great. Plus, we feel that our concerns are heard in that when we make a suggestion, an update comes out that includes the suggestion we made. We appreciate how the product is constantly evolving in an attempt to make our jobs as estimators easier.

Technically, for me, the product does not allow for me to pan left/right and up/down the way that I would like to.

We love the detail you can achieve through the software. We easily create shop drawings for architects and installers.

The grout add-on doesn't work well since it deducts the area of the grout from the net area. This is especially impactful on mosaic tiles if you plug them is as say a 1x1. We stopped using the grout joint setting because we consistently under ordered mosaic tile.

I have found the material usage calculation aspect to be one of the best features for my use. I also find the graphics to be very useful in selling product and helping the customer more fully understand the installation.

Tile creation is one of the hardest aspect. Not in so much as the product itself, but the design aspect.

This product is extremely easy to learn with no previous experience. When you really put time into it there is a huge variety of tools that can improve the users experience. Customers love the professional look of a take off along side quotes.

Sometimes if can be hard to navigate problem solving with a very specific issue. For example creating 3D diagram of a multi level house and having the stairs connect to the different floors. It would be ideal to have some kind of seminar with a Q&A period to help teach users and get feedback for new ideas.

Easy to get up & running.
3D tool is great for confirmation of material application, especially walls.

It would be nice to be able to copy multiples at once.
When opening a 2nd drawing, I lose the Hot-Keys.

- user friendly, even for someone who barely knows flooring estimating, doesn't have to be a computer savvy too
- each estimating process is easy to understand
- worksheet is pretty simple and not confusing compared to other estimating software
- there are different options on how you can estimate a particular product so ones you get the hang of it, you can choose to use what best works for you
- so many time saving features that help you produce more estimates

I have a wishlist instead; first being able to show and estimate protruding walls or niches on walls without using takeoff tool, being able to estimate uneven height of walls from wall properties, and show the actual images of carpet as well instead of just tiles - useful for large jobs like hotels and hospitals

Our company finds that this software is quite accurate. They have great customer support to assist share questions arise.

Accurate, quick, ease of use, flexible, easily customized for individual needs. Large commercial floor areas, multiple floors, design work, budgets through to installation; this software is a huge benefit to our company.

layout of roll goods can be improved upon....and am very confident they will!

I like the ease of estimating wall tile and how the system shows the individual walls in each room where it occurs which makes it easier for our installers.

Sometimes it is difficult to divide areas especially when creating patterns within other materials. It can be done, but occasionally it is difficult to get the divider to attach to a wall. Sometimes you have to get it just right or it will not "attach".

This software is easy to learn and to implement.
Take offs are much quicker and very accurate.

Little difficulty when I need to include ceiling tile in an area.
Im sure there is a way to make it happen, but I just haven't had the time to ask for help in this aspect, as of yet.

this company has set the bar for all others

worksheet merge needs to be adaptable, without a reload

The ese of access to options and the user friendly interface. The different options for creating materials and estimating patterns and take offs

The fact that it could only open one project at a single time and in one window. Which I believe has changed in the newer versions

Yes. This product is something we use every day!

It was a little difficult to get started with. But once you begin it gets better.
