TestFit Reviews

“Overall a good tool

Pros

Testfit is fantastic for conducting high level density studies. Also it is a great tool for understanding what's realistically possible on a site. Plus seeing a visual representation of a building not only helps us learn the potential of a site but also enhances my conceptual knowledge.

Cons

While it is great in many aspects there are occasional glitches and crashes though these have become less frequent in recent months. Also there are some features that we suggested could enhance the tool and Testfit has done a fantastic job of responding to demands and improving existing processes at the same time.

“Boosted efficiency

Pros

The ability to efficiently generate multiple site plans and quantify unit counts, mix, load factors and parking spaces is proven highly valuable for us.

Cons

It can struggle to create floor plans for small urban sites with irregular lot sizes. So in these situations we manually generate the floor plans.

“Great tool to start with

Pros

With it I find it very easy to determine the unit count of a site along with the unit category ratio and more.

Cons

It is not at all easy to use in Manual mode especially when trying to input the exact measurements for the building footprint.

“Transform your design process for the better

Pros

TestFit lets us evaluate multiple options in real time with our clients. Also it is a great way to involve clients in the design process.

Cons

There are some limitations at the moment which I noticed but the good thind it that they are actively being worked on. These include combining parking types and improving the flexibility of manual placement for units and amenity spaces.
