Simple to use, very user-friendly, easy to train others

Slow, less functions than the other 4 take off software I tried, false advertising, increases time threefold it requires to measure the easiest of take offs.

Stack's versality is what makes this platform exceptional for construction professionals. Whether you do take-off's by hand, another platform, or photographic memory. We all can get to the same number of bricks, sticks, & mortar. It is hard to call Stack an estimating software, because it is so much more. The power of the platform makes estimating a breeze; the real work starts after getting down to the quantity of your materials. Whether it is sharing your take-off within a team for revisions, sharing plan changes through the cloud with a vendor. Field changes can be noted and circulated to subs or vendors with an e-mail link. As a developer we are starting to send "test" runs to my sub base with the share and invite features; for bidding assemblies and managing progress. We recently rolled out a new residence model and went through the peer review process using STACK and it could not have been more productive; MEPs, Concrete, Suppliers, Architect, and Engineer were all able to redline any problems, or request a detail that would have been overlooked. Moving forward with the project, we know we have minimized surprises or plan busts. At the end of the day it is construction things are bound to happen; all we can do before the first stud is banged is minimize risk and STACK pays for itself. The plan bust caught by a trade; would have amounted to thousands of dollars to correct during construction. The service is unrivaled, the STACK pros are always available for assistance; and regular updates and webinars/and one on training keep the user up to date on enhancements made or suggestions to get the most out of the program.
