Countfire

Countfire is a modern cloud-based electrical estimating software that has quickly become a go-to solution for many contractors and estimators looking to streamline the bidding process. Built by estimators for estimators, its primary strength lies in automating the takeoff process to save time and reduce errors. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, with a clean design that makes uploading drawings, counting symbols, and organizing projects straightforward even for first-time users. Because it is entirely web-based, there is no software to download, and it works seamlessly on both PCs and Macs, allowing users to get started right away without technical setup hassles. The software’s functionality is where it truly shines, particularly through its automated takeoff feature, which can count thousands of symbols across multiple PDF drawings in minutes, replacing hours of manual work with a few clicks. Countfire also stands out with its ability to automatically recount revised drawings, a major advantage when clients make last-minute changes. Its intelligent pricing system further adds value by learning from previous estimates and populating frequently used items automatically, helping speed up bid creation.
