Why have you chosen Kreo Software? What are the specific tasks that you perform within the software?

We chose Kreo Software for its ease of use and the significant time savings it offers when taking off quantities for cost plans and assessing change on our projects. We primarily use it as a take-off tool, and increasingly to produce area schedules and cost plans with a direct link between measurements and quantities.

How did you perform this work before switching to Kreo? Which difficulties did you solve with Kreo?

Previously, we relied on a traditional, non-AI solution. Kreo is much faster and more intuitive to use, while also providing a direct link between measurements and the cost plan — greatly enhancing quality assurance.

How has using Kreo Software affected your business?

Kreo has allowed us to save significant time on measurement tasks, enabling us to be more competitive with our fees. It also frees up capacity to focus on market intelligence, ensuring our cost advice is as accurate and robust as possible.

Would you recommend Kreo to a colleague? If yes, what reasons would you give for your recommendation?

Absolutely. Kreo makes us more efficient, more accurate, and ultimately more competitive.
