When evaluating software for takeoff or earthworks measurement, most people focus on features, speed, and accuracy. But there's one factor that too many overlook — support. Not just email replies or help pages, but real, expert-led, remote-control support that gets you unstuck fast.

At Visual Precision, we believe that world-class support isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s an essential part of the product.

 

The Problem: Estimators Don’t Have Time to Waste

If you’re a quantity surveyor, estimator, or site manager, you’re juggling deadlines, drawings, and data. When something goes wrong — even something small — it can derail an entire bid or delay reporting.

Here’s what often happens with other software:

  • You're stuck waiting hours (or days) for an email reply
  • You’re left digging through forums or guessing at solutions
  • There’s no one to show you, step-by-step, how to fix or avoid the issue
  • That’s not just frustrating — it’s inefficient and expensive.

 

Our Solution: Support That Feels Like a Safety Net

Both EasyEarthworks™ and OnSight™ include full access to our remote-control support system, as part of your standard annual licence.

What does that mean for you?

  • Instant help from real engineers — the same people who built the software
  • Remote control access (with your permission) — we see what you see
  • We fix or show you — in real time, on your screen
  • Secure, seamless file sharing — for sample drawings, error logs, or templates
  • Zero waiting, no stress — just straight to the solution


Secure & Professional

We use LogMeIn™, an industry-standard remote system trusted by IT teams worldwide. You initiate every session — we never access your machine without permission, and every connection is encrypted, logged, and user-controlled.

Whether you're new to takeoff software or deep into a multi-discipline project, our support feels like having a senior technician sitting beside you — without the travel cost.

 

It's Not Just About Fixing Problems

Our support isn't only for troubleshooting. It’s also for:

  • Learning new features
  • Optimizing workflows
  • Reviewing unusual drawing formats
  • Testing revisions or exports live
  • In short, it’s about building confidence in your software investment. 

 

Why It Matters

  • Fast, human, reliable support isn’t a bonus — it’s your edge. It’s how you:
  • Deliver accurate takeoffs faster
  • Resolve issues before they cost time or credibility
  • Train new team members without stress
  • Stay productive during deadline crunches
  • And with Visual Precision, it’s included as standard — not a hidden add-on. 

 

Ready to Experience It?

Our engineers are available, our system is secure, and our clients — from the biggest contractors to the smallest QS firms — will tell you:

“It’s the best software support I’ve ever used.”
