## Reviews

### "Countfire, an everyday non negotiable." — 5.0/5

> **Kevin** | *5 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use. Saves a huge amount of time on take-offs. Presents the data in a format which is easy to interpret.
> 
> **Cons**: Some larger drawings can affect the functionality of the software and slow down take-offs. This is more a drawing quality issue though.
> 
> Fantastic to use and crucial to turn around estimates quickly. Customer service is fantastic however due to ease of use, there are very rarely any major issues to deal with.

### "Mechanical Take Off Software" — 5.0/5

> **Tyler** | *11 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ability to use the system as a mechanical estimator, I always assumed that it was electrically biased. The support team are there around the clock and quickly get back and solve your issues or answer any queries you have.
> 
> **Cons**: I think being able to reduce the size of measurements and take off symbols. It can get quite clustered at the end of the job, despite having the ability to remove layers of the drawings.
> 
> Positive experience, fortunately I work alongside electricians who know the system very well and they have been able to help me get into the swing of things straight away.

### "100% recommend" — 5.0/5

> **Andy** | *22 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The system is brilliant, it streamlines the whole take off process increasing the daily productivity.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it seems like it can be a bit numb - id click on an item and it wouldnt have selected it, which can result in counting the wrong items.
> 
> I have had a brilliant experience with countfire so far. I would recommend it to everyone within this industry.

### "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.

### "Great\! Would Recommend" — 4.0/5

> **Ethan** | *12 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The scanning feature is great and can really help reduce time, also the feature to reconfigure your selected item is a nice touch.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like that you cannot individually download dicsiplines. It takes a long time and would be much shorter if i could download individually.
> 
> Overall good experience with countfire. I really liked the scanning feature, and when ive eventually exported the take off, the checklist is a great feature as a final check of my quantities
