I can genuinely trust the numbers that I’m getting. Since I’ve been introduced to Handoff, there hasn’t been a single job where I haven’t checked my numbers against it. I’ve got a number in my head, and Handoff gives me the same scope and number — that’s incredibly comfortable for me.

I have already told someone about the software. I feel as more updates are added it is going to be an unstoppable competitive software in the construction industry.

I've been so frustrated with estimating that I was ready to give it up. Handoff is like taking a 1,000-pound weight off my chest. I feel so much better now. I'm so glad I found you guys.
