TestFit Reviews & Product Details

It was easy to use throughout my work, with several features that made it easy to implement any action or requirement. I have regularly used TestFit. The Customer Support is also amazing. With multiple features, the webpage easily integrates everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so much to say in here, it is perfect as it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use TestFit as urban planners. Given varying assumptions, we run preliminary feasibility analyses to test how many units can fit on a site. The tool is the most comprehensive and accurate way to do this type of analysis that we have found yet. It was relatively easy to learn and use. We link it up with our financial pro-forma models to test financial feasibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am hoping that TestFit continues to expand the library of building prototypes. I would love to see more "missing middle" housing types built into the tool, including cottage cluster housing, courtyard apartments, etc. The tool is not as well suited for modeling very small residential infill sites - such as less than 15,000 square feet. I'd also like to see them create a tuck-under parking building model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Incredibly fast for Pre-Design when analyzing a site and a project's metrics. Very strong development team in the midst of continual updates and new features. Very easy to use, but somewhat limited in the out-of-the-box solutions. The real power is learning to manually edit the solutions and combine them in novel ways to achieve an excellent early result that saves time when moving into SD, DD and beyond. Unit templates for multi-family projects can be customized to match your firm's standards and enhance productivity further. When learning the software, it is very easy to ask for an expert to provide one-on-one training. Instead of using AI to create a multitude of options, TestFit solves for just one that can be developed in standard software. Well ahead of SpaceMaker's feature set, which was recently bought by Autodesk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Standard solutions are a bit limiting in adjustability, but most items are customizable. Specializes in low and high-density housing and industrial uses, but others can be added manually through the massing tools. Waiting for more features from this young start-up company LOL! (Note: TestFit has had no problem securing venture capital to fund significant growth which is ongoing) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to show clients we understand the standards and rules of multifamily in a fast-paced modeling session. We find that developer clients are very interested in it but can get frustrated if the outputs aren't what they expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The modeling can still be tricky and cumbersome, although it has improved. The output data cannot be personalized. We want to export specific data and separate site data on a multi-site Testfit. Ultimately, I often have to manually replicate the output data to show what we want it to show. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service. Being able to hop on a call for specific questions or approaches is very helpful. I like that the company is still nimble enough to integrate specific development tasks and constantly improve the program's capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More complex multiple building studies more like "SiteFit" would be helpful. I find that I am always trying to figure out work arounds to get to what is helpful, so I haven't been able to complete a study solely within Testfit yet and typically use it to test out general configurations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy enough for most users who would find the output information valuable to be able to pick up and get initial coarse go/no go intelligence, but has the complexity available to drive much more complex design constraint decisions easy to make and iterate around.

There are some use cases that it hasn't (yet) gotten around to developing a workflow for. But they keep ticking those off the list and improving the software - almost to the point that it's hard to keep up with changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We utilize the program to provide due diligence on the speculation of land and potential future projects. It serves as a marketing tool with our potential clients too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We generally utilize it in real-time with the client. This serves us best to make visual adjustments, etc. The printed output is not the best and doesn't make, in my opinion, the best handouts for clients to walk away with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to comb through deals at a much faster pace. The efficiency of knowing how many units you can fit on a site in a few minutes compared to weeks waiting on architects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Feels very clunky. I wish there were more design options available. I.E. ability to put pools on roofs and get a little more intricate with some design detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease & speed of use, will make my role much more efficient in the future. It seems to be extremely powerful and takes away the manual, iterative process of coming up with an efficient site plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides are the availability of UK mapping, making it more difficult to define accurate site boundaries, which is a major downside. Also, we have to best match our product to the existing library, whereas it would be more beneficial to be able to design & save bespoke unit types & sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
