FastDUCT overall is an excellent choice to make if you want speed and detail. The price is also very reasonable
Pros
This product has all the bells and whistles you need, fast and easy to learn, on screen takeoff, and the ability to customize to suit your style of working. The people there are always ready to answer questions when the need arises. This product along with Fastpipe is used daily by me and I highly recommend you give it a try.
Cons
I can't think of any at the time of this review. This product has it all covered.

FastDuct is a quick and intuitive estimating tool
Reviewed on 27/10/2022
Pros
The ability to make a multitude of different takeoffs/sections for a project
Cons
The Quick Pick Menu could be better customizable
Response from FastEST
Bruce, thanks for the review. About the Quick Pick Menu -- the buttons can be customized within the fitting spec editor, but we realize that can be a tedious process across multiple specs and sizes. If you have any ideas for how it could be easier to use, give us a call at 800-828-7108. We are always looking for ideas of how to improve the software, and we get most of those ideas from users like you. Thanks again.

The one biggest benefit of this program is the time it saves.
Pros
This product is really easy to use. It save a lot of time and you can teek it to match most of your needs.
Cons
You are unable to create your own catalogs and pricing. Some of fast Duct prices are way out of line. An example would be to insert a metalbetsos catalog ,or a norfab. Also the workbook they provide is full of errors that take time to fix.

I'm our HVAC Estimator, I commonly put together estimates in the mid six figure range and I can't imagine trying to do this without FastDUCT. We had looked at other software solutions but this is the best one we found hands down.
Pros
The software is very easy to use and understand. Product support is excellent.
Cons
Wish there were keyboard shortcuts for common functions and the ability to click two end points to fill in duct.
Response from FastEST
Thank you very much for your review, Mat! We appreciate your feedback.
We added a larger, more customizable menu of keyboard shortcuts to our latest software version, which I believe your company is currently running. So please let us know if you have any questions about those.
And we don't currently have the AutoConnect feature in our FastDUCT program (like we do in our FastPIPE system), but we will definitely put it on our requested features list for prospective development down the road.
Thank you again for your review, Mat!

Outstanding when you add up all the benefits. I'll never stop using it.
Outstanding when you add up all the benefits. I'll never stop using it.
Pros
I have used Fastduct and Pipe for several years . I not only am able to produce extremely accurate bids and take offs, But I use the recap sheet for quick change out bids for service and construction. Once I set my parameters, its remarkably fun and easy to produce bid after bid and be in the middle with all my competitors and be awarded 80% of my bids. Plus they keep updating with new features which I usually find some of the new features helpful depending what area I am focusing on at that time.
Cons
When setting up your export file to send to a vendor for pricing , it can get a bit overwhelming as the vendor doesn't want all the details as they have to input it into their computer and their computer adds all the little details. So you have to edit it then send it. But for that extra step I can accept it Fastduct and Pipe is awesome !
