Integration of PlanSwift Takeoff and ICE Estimating
Henderson, Nevada, August 12, 2010 — Tech Unlimited, Inc., the company that developed the PlanSwift takeoff software, announced its partnership with MC², a powerful software program for estimating large construction projects. The partnership allows PlanSwift and MC² users to utilize both software programs in conjunction to create quantity takeoffs and then produce a completed estimate.
“This tight integration involves open communication between two strong software programs moving effortlessly between takeoffs and estimates,” said James Purpura, COO of PlanSwift.
“Projects are able to be measured, tracked and accurately estimated seamlessly, without confusion.”
MC² has over 45 years of experience providing builders with high quality construction estimating software. Purpura said, “ICE users will find that they can bid more work in less time with increased accuracy while utilizing PlanSwift’s easy, point-and-click interface.”
“MC² is recognized as one of the industry leaders, and this partnership is a logical step for our combined client base. Both PlanSwift and MC² develop valuable client tools that focus on ease, accuracy and standardizing the market,” said Matthew Miller, Director of Marketing at PlanSwift.
