“PlanSwift has been an excellent software for the company. It has worked really well for projecting a lot of our smaller houses we do, and it is so easy to learn how to run the software. I am really excited to see what PlanSwift has to offer for the future. They constantly are updating the program. All in all, it’s been a great program. Thanks!”-Arizona Arches and Lumber / T.J. Rueb

“PlanSwift has done an excellent job in developing this software. I am a builder and over 65 years old and I am not a computer smart person. Nevertheless, in a few hours, I was able to do a take off [areas, linear footage and counts] on a three story house I am building in Georgia. the accuracy was outstanding. Thanks.”-Tom Santora / Tom Santora – Georgia
