Countfire Reviews

“Sceptical at First

Pros

The ease of document loading and producing takeoffs is great.

Cons

I don't believe there's anything missing from the software. The main challenge is remembering to set the zones correctly to avoid performing a takeoff on the legend.

“A real time saver

Pros

It saves me days when completing takeoffs and is a very useful tool.

Cons

I haven't experienced any issues; the software is highly intuitive and operates smoothly with no problems.

“Does what it says on the tin

Pros

The sheer simplicity, it does exactly what I need and outputs easily readable tables.

Cons

There's nothing to complain about, it does exactly what I need at a reasonable price.

“Game changing!

Pros

The constant improvements and the ease of accurate takeoffs are impressive! The Countfire team always looks for ways to improve the software and takes customer feedback very well! It's also a huge bonus for my business model that all takeoffs can be done online without needing a printer! This enables my company to operate from anywhere very easily.

Cons

Adding a live catalog of materials would greatly enhance the software, reducing the time spent obtaining current prices for materials.

“Countfire Review - 11/08/2023

Pros

I really enjoy how much time it saves! Once I highlight a symbol on one drawing, that symbol is automatically highlighted on the next, which is a huge time saver! It's also very straightforward! After a 1-hour training session, I was confident to get started!

Cons

As our specialty is fire alarms, we often need to design fire alarm systems for buildings or modify existing designs that aren't compliant. It would be fantastic if a feature could be added to remove and replace symbols, allowing us to complete the entire takeoff process for every system using Countfire.
