Strike was a good programme that done the lot from quote through to estimate , how ever you need to be computer literate to use it to its full capacity , however at the time its invoice facility could not show a 20% deduction on invoices for tax so we couldnt use it to invoice back in them days , also cost approx 8k for 2 licences.
AOM - used strike for 3 months then stopped , like cads product however is a very slow programme and very basic , the 3d drawing element is good for presentation - however my main estimator didnt like it and carried on using his previous methods like paper and fag packets ect !!!! , have appraised CASE and to be fair although we havent brought it we will do at some stage , its like every thing we have a quality management system and all that and we should have one of these systems in use , 3 of us estimate and i would say CASE would be the easiest for all 3 to use.
Likewise we use the services of Danny (THE RUTTS) when we need designs - none of these programmes are perfect ha
