It saves me the most time and is better than any others I have tried. > > **Cons**: The estimates are still a bit clunky. Adding in lines and sometimes a kit build doesn't work. I would like to see a specials tab, maybe somewhere you can add risk to specific packages. The reports are still difficult to master, but I am getting better at it. > > The team has been a joy to work with. Nothing is too much trouble if you're having issues. The software isn't overcomplicated like others I have tried. It has easily reduced my takeoff time by a huge percentage\! The accuracy of the takeoff software has also reduced the number of mistakes that can happen with manual takeoff. ----- ### "Countfire review" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *19 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the way it counts across drawings is great, the way you can side by side documents to assess changes in specs etc is brilliant, and how you can override drawings with new stages. > > **Cons**: the only real problems i have with it is normally if the drawing is bad i.e it has images on it and not done correctly at the designer end. > > my overall experience is very good, countfire its self is great it is just very dependant on the level of the drawing fed in to it. ----- ### "5star system" — 5.0/5 > **adam** | *25 November 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the time it saves when counting a a new project, its brillaint once exported and laid out perfectly in microsfot excel which is easy to then move around and sort. > > **Cons**: sometimes the system can be slow when reading drawing and sometimes it cant read the symbols perfectly first time. > > overall its a fantastic system and saves so much time, we can take off multiple tenders at once due to the time we save. ----- ### "It has made doing take off's so much easier" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *11 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has made doing take off's so much easier. i am able to dip in and out and never lose my place. I use the manual count function marking up the drawings and this is a great way of doing take off's for me. > > **Cons**: The auto count function does not suit the drawings we receive as they are marked up with lots of other markings which confuses the icon's. you are able to amend the icon's but it is alot of work > > I have been able to start several take off's at a time and know that I will be able to pick up where i have left off easilly. This is going to make such a difference for doing quotations. ----- ### "Excellent Software Package For Taking Off and Estimating" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *26 November 2025* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software provides such a quick and easy way in to taking off from a drawing and provides so much functionality whilst also giving a fast entry point for users who have never used software before. Was the biggest plus point for me along with all the customer support. > > **Cons**: Probably the estimating package but I think that was more down to me than the actual software itself which provided all the functionality that you might get with more expensive taking off and estimating packages. > > Very good. The whole entrance to the Countfire ecosystem and software was easy and provided a very short period of time from entry to actually producing take offs. In the midst of the trial period and beyond the Countfire support was there providing tips and tricks on how to maximise productivity and produce accurate results. The AI built in was also very helpful and shortened the process down. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/144811/countfire?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/144811/countfire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
