iSqFt Reviews

I like that the filters are easy to use and help me find relevant projects.

I wish plans could be downloaded as one pdf and not a bunch of individual ones. Better takeoff integration is needed.

Helps me identify which general contractors are bidding on work.

The website might look outdated, but personally I prefer the more "classic" look. It's easy to navigate, simple to look at, and everything is right there when I need it. Project plans are easy to locate and download, no hiding behind a gazillion folders.

It can sometimes be a bit slow if I'm downloading a large file--but of course it's a large file, so that's why. I also get a LOOOOOT of bid invites from this every day.

iSqFt is easy to use--I've not uploaded my own files on it, but I frequently browse other contractor files and all the information I need for the bid (due date, number of addendums, addresses, contractor notes, etc) is easy to locate. Everything is simple and easy to locate. Maybe I'm strange, but I like the "older" look of the website as opposed to a "sleeker" or more modern design. Might sound weird but it makes everything easier to find.

I generally use iSqFt to receive and manage projects I'm bidding on, so I use it a LOT in conjunction with getting plans from contractors and occasionally submitting bids through it. Sometimes I wish my company used it to get plans to OUR vendors, as occasionally plan files are too big to send over email. Everything is organized right where I need it from the GCs we bid to. I can let someone know I'm bidding a project as well as submit bids, if I so chose, though I generally send mine over email just for ease of communication and recording on my end.

iSqFT is extremely helpful when looking for information regarding any job you may be bidding. It has several resources that make an estimator's job much easier.

The site is a bit boring to look at, but at the end of the day - who cares when it's this effective?

Make sure to use all of the resources available through the website.

I have been much more organized since

The simplicity of this software is amazing and also the wide database they have makes it very effective. Bulk invitations and the controllability makes it perfect.

It is a little overpriced as compared to the competitors like Building connected. Also, I just got to know that building connected is providing the basic tool for free and only charges for premium services and tools so this is one thing ISQFT must look into. That's the only thing I dislike.

Try using this software if you get a chance, it is very user-friendly with the wide database.

It is very useful to us since we invite all our subcontractors through ISQFT and further, all the project information such as plans, RFI, addendums etc. are done through it.

Their support staff is very helpful. Their programmers listen to user feedback and implement change quickly.

The subcontractor database is messy and has invalid contacts.

We needed to reach subs in new markets. This allows us to search for subs almost anywhere.

the keyword searches are great- We are a niche service so it helps us sort through all hte static to find promising projects

It generates so many emails, and 80% dont apply.

It centralizes a list of active work in our area, and pinpoints projects we would might not know of otherwise.

.I like the tabs at the top of the page that make it really easy to navigate

There isn't anything I dislike about this website

It's quite easy to use, even the new people pick it up quick because of this

It is a reliable website for gathering contact and project information so we are no longer stressing over waiting on a response from a slow email correspondence regarding questions

The most appealing thing about this program is the customer support. But what makes it my favorite is the amount of work available to bid on. I sold over 900K in construction work this year 85% of it came from open bids and invites from GC's.

My only discouragement is not with the program but with the people who use it incorrectly. Some GCs who do not know how to use will just dump their plans in here thinking I have the time to sort through their mess. I don't too many good GCs on here to even worry about their projects

If you want to be fishing in the deep end of the bid pool this is where to do it.

The way they use keywords to flag you on what your looking saves time and time is money. The ability to go back years and check the original bid specs is an amazing thing. How many times have you had a person use updated plans or specs to try to get you to pay for something? plenty of times for me and I can go back to the original plans and prove myself right or wrong. I also like that I can request a project and Isqft will go to the owner and get the plans the list of plan holders so I never miss a player. Nothing like working 2 weeks on a bid to find out your the low man but there was that one GC you didnt know about that was awarded the job but you didnt get your quote to him.

I really like this to move and download bid projects. I have a lot of clients using this to bid on projects.

There is not much I dislike on this program. But if I had to say, at time the plan are not in a simply format to download. individuals versus single group of combined pdf's. It makes it a little tedious to have to check all boxes.

Downloading bid documents i

The platform allows for sharing documents and information easily with all project stakeholders. It's also helpful in getting massive amounts of information out quickly.

iSqFt lacks on the collaboration side and isn't as easy to use and access as its competitors. Also, integration with Procore is not simple.

I like that contractors can send an invite via email to review projects.
