I don’t know where I would be without measure square 8. This program has allowed me to price large multi unit projects quickly and efficiently. It allows me to be nimble with changes throughout the course of project development. It also gives me a competitive edges with the diagrams and layouts it produces.
Pros: This program allows me to complete a takeoff with ease. From the very start of organizing your files with the import functions to clicking off rooms.
Cons: It takes a bit of getting used to and requires some user input to set yourself up for a successful takeoff.

I have been using different estimating systems for over 20 years and this is by far the best system I have encountered.
Pros: Measure was easy to navigate. The system is very detailed with many different features.
Cons: I really could not give any negatives using this system.

Measure Square is a great software for our construction company. We use it for every take off we do. I cant see us switching to any other software.
Pros: What I like most about the software is the auto estimating / phasing. The way it calculates carpet cuts is fairly good so we don't have to manually do that anymore. Duplicating and manipulating files/drawings is very easy to do in this sofeware.
Cons: What I like least about this software is it can be laggy sometimes due to the size of the project. I also wish that creating patterns was easier. I don't always get exactly what i need and sometimes that messes with the quantities.
Jocelyn D. · Assistant Project Manager · Construction · December 22, 2022
I am really satisfied with this software. I would recommand to give it a try
Pros: Measure Square is a tool for all professionals who want to accurately estimate the costs related to their work, it facilitates project management by working in a team. It also offers a good user interface and is easy to use
Cons: It's someting takes a lot of team to achieve a specific task. I will continue to test it.

i like it but must admit i found it frustrating getting up to speed
Pros: lots of features and can do many advanced functions from custom tile patterns to quantifying
Cons: it should be more intuitive. i upgraded from an old version took me ages to lean how to do things
Adam R. · Director · Construction · September 27, 2021
Good, easy to use.
Pros: I needed a program to easy let me import in pdf's and scale drawings. to figure up flooring products including sheet goods for carpet.
Cons: maybe adding in more products that have become popular in the product list and taking away older non used ones from the data base. Like adding in LVP plank as a section outside of Wood, adding 12x24 tiles. Removing things like 6x6 tile.

Overall I am a big fan of M2, like working with the program on a daily bases. my company has adopted M2 as our estimating software companywide.
Pros: I work with M2 daily and like almost all of the features within the program. I love the fact that I can show the installers the areas and elevations in 3D. Building patterns is done with ease in most cases, I like the fact that I can take off projects in phases and estimate by tab. using the hot keys allows me to be more efficient and get my work done quicker. i would recommend this program to any one working in the flooring industry.
Cons: there are a couple things that I would like to see improved on such as room numbering. Dividers are an issue is some cases but I have managed to find work arounds.
Steve U. · Estimator · Construction · August 27, 2021
It has been career changing for myself. Once I got into the takeoff aspect MS2 of back in 2004 I slowly got out of the flooring installation end of it and immersed myself solely into the mastery of MS2 and never looked back.
Pros: The 3D is top notch and is priceless when it comes to elevations.
Cons: I have nothing I honestly say I dislike.
Brad V. · Senior Estimator · Construction · August 26, 2021
Allows us to obtain a detailed estimate of a projects cost.
Pros: Has a lot of features that give you varying ways to achieve the same result allowing flexibility from one project to the next
Cons: Is not always intuitive. Took some time to learn to use easily.
Scott S. · Estimator · Construction · August 24, 2021
Pros: Easy to use, easy to teach. Very cool 3d imaging that make you look professional. Sets you apart from the competetion
Cons: Wish the beta auto takeoff worked better
Miguel S. · Owner · Construction · August 24, 2021
As for a whole description? I would recommend this software to anyone who needs to estimate in the construction field
Pros: Yes. This product is something we use every day!
Cons: It was a little difficult to get started with. But once you begin it gets better.
Robert T. · Field Supervisor/Project Manager · Construction · August 24, 2021
My overall experience has been great for obtaining quantities in the field or via pdf mini plans.
Pros: I love the simplicity of use and how clean the software is. I have tried many over the years and Measure Square is at the top of my list for ease of use and functionality.
Cons: The process of getting the quantities is great, but once the quantities are completed managing overhead and profit percentages/margins need to have some work done as well as the process of creating the quote and the visual on the final quote.
Jason P. · Manager · Retail · August 24, 2021
MeasureSquare is the preferred software of our estimators and most of our clients. As an estimating service, the acceptance of the software means that the work can get done quicker and more efficiently because the estimators are not mentally fighting against the work.
Pros: 1. The companies responsiveness to customers' needs is the top benefit. 2. The software is easy and quick to learn. 3. The job summary and elevations for wall tile are easy to follow 4. Integration with Spec-Intel
Cons: When creating the totals, the tabs should calculate independently and then sum together.
Kathy C. · founder · Construction · August 24, 2021
Pros: We liked the forward thinking of MeasureSquare and their team, they are always thinking of better ways to utilize their software. The software we used prior to MeasureSquare was the same estimating software it was 15 years ago, MeasureSquare has improved in the two years we have been using it. They also consistently ask us for feedback and ideas on how to improve their product.
Cons: The only complaint that I have had was that the system is very robust with so many functions available, we often do not know it's capabilities.
Joe P. · Sr. Vice President · Construction · August 24, 2021
I personally have been a user for over 15 years and find the program the gold standard for flooring estimating software
Pros: this company has set the bar for all others
Cons: worksheet merge needs to be adaptable, without a reload
robert f. · vp · Construction · August 24, 2021
Pros: It has eliminated a lot of mistakes and is intuitive
Cons: Would be nice for it to sync with Qfloors product catalog and labor list
Kevin S. · owner · Retail · August 24, 2021
I've been using MSQ for a few years now . I switched over from a competitor and the transition was much easier than I thought .
Pros: The work sheet and product data base helps me create professional looking accurate estimates and to stay organized. this software is a must-have
Cons: I use QuickBooks for my accounting and I wish MSQ integrated
Andre R. · Owner · Construction · August 24, 2021
Couldn’t be more pleased with the product and service we are provided by Measure Square!
Pros: I would not go back to the the graph paper method! This is a critical tool for our field staff.
Cons: Learning all the little things the program does and implementation of them.
Craig C. · Director of Sales · Construction · August 24, 2021
Overall, MeasureSquare is great, but there is definitely room to improve for the reasons I stated above. The old version of MeasureSquare did not snap to points when tracing prints so I'm not sure why the new version was made to do that. I would have thought this would be an optional setting but apparently it is not. I have contacted you regarding this and was told this cannot be changed. A lot of time is wasted trying to fix this on every print. Not very efficient.
Pros: It is fairly easy to figure out how things work in it. I like being able to alter material sizes and colors and waste factors and customizing drawing lines and colors.
Cons: 1) I do NOT like how the program automatically snaps you to certain points while tracing a floor plan. I have to constantly zoom in to get to the point on the line that I want to click on - the program is constantly wanting to go to a point that I do not want to go to. This wastes a lot of time. 2) #2 Time Waster: During importing prints, you have to scale each page separately. You cannot scale the entire print (multiple pages) at once. 3) I would like if we could draw floating corner benches/seats in showers in 3D. That is the only reason we cannot use this program for 3D drawings. We would LOVE to be able to use one program for all of our drawing needs instead of using two!
Noel C. · Head Estimator · Building Materials · August 24, 2021
Pros: The data base that is shared, so we dont have to keep making the same materials
Cons: the grout width messes with the calculation
Dennis R. · estimator · Construction · August 24, 2021
Always good. If you can't figure it out, then watch a U-Tube tutorial.
Pros: Ease of use and layout simplicity makes this product one of the best.
Cons: you can't multi page load to different tabs while in the import and scaling feature.
Justin T. · General Manager · Building Materials · August 24, 2021
Love it, great customer support. All around great company and product
Pros: Works great with blueprint take offs and just as smooth on site measuring .
Cons: Entering all the products in , Very time consuming. Not the programs fault, I am slow at typing.
Bruce T. · Owner · Construction · August 24, 2021
My Sales team uses it mostly, and I use it a little. I know we are not using it to it potential
Pros: Accurate Measurements. Take with you anywhere.
Cons: I am not trained enough to tell you what I don't like
Dan S. · owner · Building Materials · August 24, 2021
Overall measure squared is an intuitive program that helps our company quickly and accurately calculate material need and layouts.
Pros: This product has a very easy learning curve, it does a good job of getting out of the way when all you want to do is focus on getting your takeoffs done. There are tips that flash on the bottom of the screen to help you with commands depending on the task you are trying to achieve.
Cons: It would be nice if it could integrate with our bookkeeping software making estimates easy.
Randall H. · Senior Account Manager · Construction · August 23, 2021
Overall, i feel this is better then most of the other flooring software's on the market. The development team seems to make it better with each update.
Pros: It is easy to learn, use and much more versatile then many other programs.
Cons: There are some glitches. Calculations are not always reliable, such as; flash cove. Also, the software makes some assumptions that are not clear or can cause value to be under estimated.
