Kubla Cubed

Pros

Easy to set up and begin use
Accurate
3d Model for visualising workload
Excellent Customer support

Cons

Like all software some systems sometimes felt clunky, but each new version irons out those kinks and continued support ensures any issues are swiftly dealt with

Pros

The 3D model presentation of excavation and the construction phases that can be easily presented to clients.

Cons

One of the best features is the generation of quantity on the drawing which can be seen by others during presentation. The Section can be easily generated.

Pros

Help from staff always great. Help from staff always great.

Cons

Nothing Very useful for learning Very useful for learning

Pros

I like export to CAD, models creation , easy to use.

Cons

The software doesn't take both points with the same co-ordinates with different Z values. I have to select one or the other. I can't process both in the same time. This push me to create 2 separate surfaces for the same X,Y points with different Z value. Also I don't like navigation. When zoom in or out - I cant's ''shift'' model right or left. The model is kind of ''fixed'' to the center of the screen. It will be nice to have a navigate similar to AutoCAD.

Pros

Ease of Use. Price. Customer Service. Accessibility.

Cons

At first it was very bare bones in comparison to what other programs could achieve, but they have quickly caught up. There is a rare bug or two, but customer service has always been more than helpful whenever those occurred.

Pros

Honestly, I purchased Kubla because it was much cheaper than any of the competition and I didn't have a lot of expendable income when I started this business. That being said, I will probably remain a lifelong customer despite having used and purchased other more expensive software since we expanded.

The 3D image quality is phenomenal, everything about the program is easy to understand and use regardless of your experience level with this type of software, and best of all, it allows me to create 3D visuals of our projects that everyone on the team can understand. I regularly show my operators and laborers step by step project illustrations using the program before we get into the prints, and I often use them myself for quick references in the field.

Cons

I don't dislike the program.

The ability to transmute elevation lines for quick placement and the ability to input strata layers and material information would be nice, but they regularly update the program so I'm sure that will be coming soon enough. The second that happens, this will become the only software I use for earthwork. 100%

Pros

The software seems to have been designed specifically for my business. Easy to use and understand. Affordable and very powerful.

Cons

Not much at all. I suppose the 3D imaging could be improved a little. The facility to prepare sections would be useful.

Pros

Kubla delivers what it promises, without frills. It's strictly focused and optimized for earthworks modelling and estimation without unneeded features.

Cons

Reporting can still be improved, although it already serves its purpose.

Pros

It was very easy to set up and enter the existing contours. After obtaining the permissions for the 14 day trial, It was easy to enter the design contours. The reporting is detailed and the software allows the ability to generate a 3D map.

Cons

The ability to shift the screen while "zoomed-in"...it appears that you can use the left & right arrow keys, but not the up-down keys, transparently, while entering contours, etc.

I would like to turn off the colors and see only the line work while entering.

One should be able to "snap" to end points to get more accurate.

Would like to have the ability to generate an actual cut/fill amp showing specific point areas where we need to cut & fill with the estimated values.

Pros

Easy to use. great cad export. suitable for small projects. should have a faster triangulation engine to handle huge files. Should have a hole tool in order to leave out a certain area inside of the triangulation from the calculations.

Cons

likes to see stronger colours in sections and dwg import

Pros

This software produces a very accurate model. It also helps overlay multiple survey data packets to give a volumes and other excavation details. I find this product extremely useful for someone who is looking to do a surveying model or needs to produce an accurate visual model of excavations.

Cons

I find this product at times can be a bit difficult to use. At first finding everything wasn't always easy. but after a bit of research about what to use, this software was brilliant.

Pros

The ease with which it integrates with AutoCAD

Cons

Crashes when file size are large
I guess it more of hardware than software

I suggest kubla to have file down sizing tool

Pros

Cut and Fill, Volumetric, Output Report, Presentation (PDF, CAD). User friendly.

Cons

It is easy to use, straight forward compare to other software that need many steps and definition of data before you arrive to the result.

Pros

Fantastic support provided by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], so patient and helpful, once set up gives certainty where guesswork previously prevailed, quick flexible and highly competitive.

Cons

My own hardware and skillset was not quite up to the mark so have needed to invest time and money our end to reap the benefits long term

Pros

Clear layout and easy to use
Good features
Regular updates
Excellent customer support
Good value for money

Cons

When new versions of the software are released they often have bugs which require fixing - more testing before release would be beneficial

Pros

- Easy to understand and use after a day or two practice (much easier to follow than my previous cut and fill software)
- Features to cover all necessary scenarios: roads, houses, retaining walls, etc
- Regular product updates
- Good customer support
- Competitively priced

Cons

- Very little negative to say except some annoying glitches when a new version is released, however these are soon rectified

Pros

Easy to use. Logical and practical built in processes. It is so much better than other products on the market.

Cons

There are no cons. I am very happy with all aspects of it.
