Handoff

Pros: Really easy to use and fast. They have been me a lot on my estimate. They’re making quicker and easy..

Cons: They pick up prices from a different stores the ones I choose like this I say a product from Sherwin-Williams they sent me to Lowe’s and that’s the one I don’t use. I use Sherwin-Williams stores.

Pros: It has streamlined my estimation process and given me my time back it has been worth the money especially when I see the time saved

Cons: There are certain rates and materials quantities that are slightly inaccurate. All in all it has just needed some fine tuning on my side

Pros: It like it does a lot of the pricing material for me. It makes the break down for material and labor easier.

Cons: The app crashes from time it time and freezes. The is ai a little slow at times. Sometimes that’s app will just constantly load and u have to close it and relaunch.

Pros: I love the intuitiveness of the application. I prefer using it on a mobile device, Handoff has gone to Great strides too make their tool work on mobile devices.

Cons: Originally I would have said did not work well I'm over devices or there were no change orders but the company continues to impress me by diving into their weaker areas and bolstering them up.

Pros: Definitely the AI experience makes it so much faster

Cons: Sometimes the system lags when you're doing multiple estimates

Pros: Ease with which you can generate a quote in addition to being able to provide specifics and defaults for your particular business and area.

Cons: Still needs the project management features. Site visit notes and photos, ability to take photos of multiple receipts and add them to an invoice (and then mark them as billed so you don’t double bill). Would love to have a draft template to use for all quotes (default groups, order of groups in estimate, ability to bundle materials together and labor separate per group)

Pros: WIth Handoff, I'm able to confidently push out estimates which used to be my number one pain point of being a general contractor/real estate investor. Manual estimates would take me 2-5 hours and now I can knock them out in 15-30 minutes. I send out A TON more estimates now which leads to more projects and more income!

Cons: Sometimes the estimates come back extremely high - for instance to install and paint 8 doors, Handoff came up with a bid for $7,500. The customers would laugh at me, and I'd probably get a bad rep if I sent that in.

Pros: The easy of use and after comparing prices yours are pretty close to the places I use. Have good help line.

Cons: Maybe the price could be a little cheaper than it is now make it more affordable the more people you get !!

Pros: Easy to use. Price is very close to what I would expect. Material list makes ordering easier.

Cons: Some of the material pricing has been off due to Lowe’s website being wrong but it’s not hard to fix.

Pros: Contract template is easy to use and offers a great starting point to where you need to tune it up to what works for you

Cons: Pricing on competitive estimates vs the competition . The number that are outputted are not competitive to what other contractors are charging

Pros: Connivence of converting estimates to proposals. Able to get rough estimates quickly

Cons: Often does not make adjustments correctly. When making adjustments it often makes unrequested adjustments as well and I have to be very careful to make sure it is correct

Pros: The app understands most of the specific details to give detailed material estimates and itemizes everything for me to create a project plan.

Cons: Sometime the app doesn’t understand the real cost of labor actually needed to do the work and the permitting / code requirements for my state. Overall I can put that in myself.

Pros: The insight or questions it asks to pin point the estimate

Cons: Single user, And the extra cost to create proposal

Pros: saves me tons of time. Does a lot of the work for me.

Cons: gets basic calculations wrong Forgets presets often not comprehensive on materials -- forgets lots of small items

Pros: Handoff is easy to use and saves me hours when doing estimates. I can be more confident in my estimates and get back to clients sooner to win more jobs.

Cons: The exported pdf invoices on the starter edition say "client not specified", which looks unprofessional. I realize this is to encourage you to buy the more comprehensive software, but as a single person business , spending an extra 1000$ a year for that feature is unreasonable. I'd prefer it to say nothing, or to have option to put a client name in the starter pack I'd also like the option of separating materials from labor with an AI prompt and adding different markups to labor vs materials as it would be more consistent with how I like to bill customers and helpful in understanding my margin.

Pros: Getting accurate prices. it’s great and fast and easy to use.

Cons: Just have to dial in the prices and let the AI get to know my pricing that we are looking for.

Pros: The time that i gained back and accuracy of my bids.

Cons: I have yet to experience any issues. Have won 5 bids since i first starting using Handoff AI. My clients cant believe how fast i can get a bid out to them.

Pros: Easy to use and I am able to knock out my bids fast!

Cons: I have no dislikes so far. I have been searching for an app like this one for a long time

Pros: Hand off is very user friendly. It has also allowed me to get pricing over to my customers in a much quicker time frame than it would if I were to have to price everything out on my own. We did compare the pricing with bids we put together for the first few projects we estimated through Handoff and each time Handoff was within $100.

Cons: There was a glitch at first that kept pulling other estimates into new estimates but that glitch seems to be fixed.

Pros: Quick and easy estimates that provide an accurate timetable for labor and a much easier way of inputting materials for a job without having to remember every single thing .

Cons: The invoice integration charges customers for credit card fees, which is illegal in Connecticut.

Pros: I really like the speak to text and they way it subtotals each category.

Cons: It seems that it is clunky and asks questions but doesn’t allow to answer before it starts to create the estimate.

Pros: It saves me a ton of time. And alot of the time it adds things in that I would have forgot.

Cons: Sometimes it forgets to add things to a project.
