"I would like to thank everyone at CADS for such a brilliant product. To the guy who first wrote the software, the developers who kept it up to date, and to the Support Team for their excellent support over the years, often getting me out of a tight spot, most often on a Friday afternoon when a client was demanding finished drawings and bar schedules. I have used it so successfully over many years, for several different clients on numerous projects and it proved faultless throughout."
