Handoff Reviews & Product Details

The AI system keeps updating, and it regularly records numbers and budgets, which makes it easier to create an estimate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it takes a while to create an estimate, and even when I write down all the specific details, it can still end up being wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is built around estimates, SOWs, and general chat related to the construction industry. I like how it looks for real-world pricing through Home Depot and allows users to put in their own variables like markups or taxes. The estimates themselves are only as good as your description of the job, so if you're on-point with your description, SOW, and plans it's within the 90th percentile on being correct normally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is on more complicated jobs the system tends to be all over the place. Breaking down complex projects with multiple SOWs resolves a lot of this, but you have to be very watchful of it's pricing as sometimes it can come in very high or very low.

And the new updates on handoff are just what you as well as I need, for being self employed, it has been nothing but fantastic with the jobs my husband and I do.

I can convince you all day long, but it is well worth the money spent on their app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They’ve improved and made it possible. I don’t really have anything bad to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to customize catalogues for different customers is critical. I work with many property managers and the catalogues allow me to standardize pricing, materials, and rates for those specific relationships saving me a lot of time and ensuring I am compliant to our agreements.

Sometimes it is slower than I would like. Like any AI, it does occasionally hallucinate and make mistakes. It requires more cautious proof reading of the final estimates than I would like, but the team has improved it since I've been using it. I do continue to see steady improvements in this regard.

Handoff is a tool I didn't know how much I would love until I started using it every single day for multiple projects. This software is built for the residential contractor, but all of my work is commercial and it works just as well. A lot of AI completely removes the human aspect and ability to contribute in an autonomous way. With Handoff, I can proactively work with the software to generate desired outcomes and shape my estimates the way I used to do them in an excel spreadsheet.

Handoff saves time, provides access to professional templates, and for me, has been a great education tool. When creating cost analysis reports or scope of work documents, it's unusually thought provoking. It has challenged me to be aware of every cost, big and small, that a task or scope of work requires.

Paired with the manual input from performing my takeoffs, I know I am providing clients accurate, competitive pricing with as little or as much detail as I feel necessary.

One of the cooler, less utilized components of Handoff, is what I call the "digital library." It possesses the unique ability to function like a warehouse for data. I can upload unique quotes & create specific pricing catalogs that are easy to access and implement into my proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though this is true of any system you want to use consistently and accurately, I still dislike the amount of work on the back end involved. It takes forever, but it's definitely worth it.

Handoff is not always as attentive to details as I would like it to be. It does miss details or miscalculate quantities when reviewing drawings. However, this perfectly exemplifies the need for human diligence and review regardless of how brilliant and automated technology becomes.

The biggest flaw with handoff is the inability to edit some aspects of the templates. I wish I could format things differently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me create estimates faster, and the handoff process is becoming more and more usable and reliable for our business. I’m hoping that soon I’ll be able to fully integrate my business into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t think there’s anything I truly dislike about Handoff. It feels well tuned for contractors, and the team does a great job of listening to their clients. That said, there are still a few things that could be added or fine-tuned to make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel it gives us an honest # to work with and confidence that if we are off with the customers expectations than it has little or nothing to do with pricing. We also love the detailed breakdown of all the materials and processes. Things are very turnkey with Handoff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a little tough to navigate but maybe I just need to get used to it more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it organizes all of my thoughts from a design consultation into an organized format. Sometimes it will even add details that I did not add. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it makes the same mistakes every time I use it. It will add its own details that are not part of the project. It adds more time to editing the document than I would have if I wrote the document myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handoff is extremely help and user friendly. Being able to adjust an estimate or scope of work without having to prompt the AI is extremely helpful in streamlining our estimating process. The platform was extremely easy to set up and train our employees on. We use Handoff daily and have not ran into any major issues. We recommend Handoff to anybody looking for a solid estimating software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot export scopes of work as a word document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI aspect is useful for generating general reports and documents, and for helping with structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like the AI-generated estimate quantities and hours can vary drastically at times. We’re also having trouble getting Handoff and QuickBooks to work together efficiently, which makes the overall workflow harder than it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
