Thanks for the review Andrew – great to hear you're saving time on your projects!

Appreciate the feedback on the 'Measure' tab. We have a range of shapes and colours available on our manual counting tool to help you count items which don't have symbols but I can definitely see how it would be helpful to have a wider selection – we have a feature request for that. You can add your vote by going to 'Give feedback' on the orange button in the bottom right hand corner of Countfire and searching for 'Ability to customise symbols and measures'.

We also have a feature request for the ability to 'Allocate a colour to groups'. You can add your vote to this feature request too 😊

Thanks for the review Tom!

Awesome to hear you've saved time 😊

As Countfire is a cloud-based software, you do need an internet connection to access the app however being cloud-based means you can seamlessly switch from the office to home or on site and continue working on your projects.

Thanks for the review Sam

Great to hear you're finding Countfire easy to use!

Sometimes there can be issues with your drawing which can affect your takeoff however this is super rare. If you run into any issues, I'd always recommend sending us a message on the orange button in the bottom right hand corner of the app – we can take a look at what you're running into and our technical team may be able to improve the quality of your drawings.

Best counting and measuring software on the market by far – love it! Thanks Merv.

You're spot on – Countfire has been designed by Estimators for Estimators with loads of features to help improve the speed and accuracy of your takeoffs.

Our support is something we're really proud of. From online training sessions to our in-app live chat, we do our best to make sure all of our users get the most out of the software.

Thanks for the feedback on the Estimating side of the software. We've recently added the ability to add prelims to your estimates and produce custom reports to suit your requirements. If you'd like to take a look, just let us know and we can set up a quick video call.

Thanks Joe for the review!

Thrilled to hear you find take offs and the PDF comparison helpful.

We have a tiered pricing structure which offers a sliding discount for additional users. We also offer a 10% discount on yearly subscriptions.

Great review Wesley, amazing news that you find Countfire helpful for mechanical users.

Really glad to hear Countfire's been useful during the tender stage– saving you time as well as money!

Our support team would be more than happy to help you get to grips with our estimating tool. Please do reach out by using the orange button in-app. The estimating tool will allow you to work faster and increase accuracy.

Thanks for the great review David!

Awesome to hear you're finding it easy to upload your documents and complete your takeoff.

Nothing missing - brilliant! If you have any feedback in future or any questions, please send us a message on the orange button in the bottom right hand corner of the app.

If you do find you've forgotten to add your zones on the first pass, you can jump back in to your takeoff, add your zones and reprocess your takeoff to get your updated output files.

Appreciate it can be a bit daunting to change your estimating methods but it's great to hear you're benefitting from the time saving and increased accuracy Countfire provides.

Our support is something we're super proud of – we provide free online training sessions to help you get the most out of the software.

Thank you Aaron for the review 😊

Great that you have saved a lot of time and your finding completing take offs easy!

Always more than happy to help, if you're finding any features confusing you can send us a message on the orange button in the bottom right hand corner of the app.

What an awesome review – thanks Tony!

Great to hear you're finding Countfire very useful and it's saving you days on your takeoffs.

If you do ever have any questions or feedback, you can message our live chat on the orange button in the bottom right hand corner of the app 👍

Thanks for the great review Jacob!

Spot on – when you make a selection of a symbol on one drawing, Countfire will automatically count the symbol across all of your drawings in the discipline, speeding up the completion of your takeoff.

We do have progress markers for your drawings. When the work on your drawing is saved, the marker will automatically change to yellow signifying your work is in progress. When you have completed your work and checked all symbols on your drawing have been selected, you can click the dot to change the progress marker to green.

You can also change your project status on the main project page as you complete your takeoff and estimate and submit to your client – just click on the drop down menu in the top right corner of the page.

It's great to hear you've found the support quick and helpful – we know that your time is valuable so we'll always try to resolve any issues as quickly as possible 👍

Great to hear you're managing to save time Nicholas!

Our Floor plan, Overlay and Compare features are really handy for handling layouts split over multiple drawings, checking compatibility between services and handling revised drawings.

If you don't have any linear measures on your drawings, you can control the size of the manual points by changing the scale on the drawing in the measure tab. You can also hide the points you've already counted using the check box next to each measure heading to make it easier to complete the rest of your takeoff.

It's awesome that you're benefitting from lowering the rate of human error and saving on printing paper on your takeoffs too.

Wow, what a great review - thanks Ben!

It's great to hear that you're able to quickly turn around your projects.

You're spot on – sometimes symbols can look the same on your drawings but, when the drawings have been created, they have been drawn slightly differently. All you need to do to count all these symbols is make an additional selection. Countfire will then look for your selections across all of your drawings in the discipline.

If you do run into this, it's always worth popping our support team a message, they'll usually have some tips to help you get more matches from fewer selections.

Thank you for the great review!

Pleased to hear using the software is saving you loads of time.

In terms of the software struggling to read all the symbols, that's usually down the way the original drawing was created, yes.

We tend to find it's a fairly unusual thing to run into, however, we've also got a number of ways we can step in and help.

If you run into it again, please fire us a quick message in-app and one of the Support team will take a look at your project and likely have you sorted in no time.

Thanks so much for your kind review Mark.

Yes, although it's not specifically designed for the mechanical trade, Countfire is flexible and you can adapt it to your way of working.

It's great you've found using Countfire really helpful and more accurate than printing and marking drawings.

I agree, it's definitely faster too as you don't have to worry about adding up your measurements or losing your place if you're interrupted - Countfire keeps a track of all that for you.

Once you've finished your takeoff you also get a set of marked up drawings and a spreadsheet splitting out your quantities.
