Like how it remembers items i have taken off on previous drawings of the same discipline. > > **Cons**: Cant change size of the point for counting items on busy drawing. For example the circle covers other items i need to count and therefore can be missed. > > Very good and enjoying using it. Making take offs very quick and saves printing off drawings and cost effective. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Countfire review" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *24 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: speedy takeoffs - intuitive system. learns for future drawings so you don't need to assign reference for every drawing. excellent training provided and good customer support. > > **Cons**: The estimating tool is clunky and difficult to adjust from takeoffs as items are already grouped by drawings. > > For takeoffs excellent, for estimating i am still undecided, feels like some further development is required to make it more flexible. ----- ### "Best Estimating Software I have Used" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *21 February 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tender takeoff is so good. 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 Saves Time, But Has a Learning Curve" — 5.0/5 > **Jacek** | *20 October 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve been using Countfire for a two months now, and it’s completely transformed how I handle electrical estimating. What I like most is the true automated takeoff feature—it allows me to mark up symbols on one drawing and instantly counts them across all drawings. This alone has saved me hours of manual work and significantly reduced errors. > > **Cons**: For highly detailed or non-standard drawings, the automation sometimes struggles to interpret symbols or layouts accurately, requiring manual adjustments. > > Overall, Countfire has made my estimating process faster, more accurate, and far less stressful. It’s a must-have tool for any electrical contractor or estimator looking to modernize their workflow. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/144811/countfire?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
