Plumbing Estimating & Takeoff Software Built for Subcontractors
The plumbing contractor software with per-system assembly libraries for sanitary waste & vent, domestic water, storm, and gas — pipe taken off by linear foot and diameter, fixtures and fittings by count, and a Schedule of Values formatted for the GC. Purpose-built plumbing bidding software, not a generic tool adapted for pipe.

Every plumbing system — pre-built, pre-priced, ready to bid
ScopeTakeoff’s plumbing estimating programs include assembly libraries for every commercial system. The fastest plumbing takeoff software for subcontractors — take off pipe by size and run once and get a fully loaded estimate with pipe, fittings, valves, hangers, and labor by the right unit.
Sanitary Waste & Vent
Above- and below-grade DWV piping by size and linear foot. Fittings, cleanouts, floor drains, and carriers count off the plan, with pipe, fittings, and labor calculated per run.
Domestic Water
Hot and cold domestic water in copper, PEX, or CPVC by linear foot and diameter. Valves, fittings, and pipe insulation add automatically based on the run.
Storm Drainage
Roof drains, overflow drains, and storm piping by size and linear foot. Bodies, sumps, and downspout nozzles count directly from the plumbing and roof plans.
Natural & Fuel Gas
Natural gas and fuel-gas piping by size and linear foot. Valves, regulators, and connections to equipment add as their own line items with labor included.
Fixtures & Trim
Fixtures rough-in and set by count — water closets, lavatories, sinks, urinals, showers, and floor sinks. Carriers, trim, and supplies attach to each fixture type.
Hangers, Valves & Specialties
Pipe hangers and supports, backflow preventers, valves, water heaters, and pumps. Equipment and specialties priced as their own line items alongside the piping systems.
From plan set to plumbing bid in minutes
ScopeTakeoff is plumbing quoting software built around how plumbing contractors actually work — not how enterprise software engineers think they should. Go from PDF plans to a submitted plumbing estimate faster than any other tool.
Upload your plans
Drag in your PDF plan sheets. Trace pipe runs by system and size, and count fixtures, drains, and fittings directly on the page.
Select your assemblies
Pick plumbing assemblies by system — waste & vent, domestic water, storm, gas, fixtures. Enter pipe and counts and let ScopeTakeoff calculate material and labor.
Adjust your pricing
Override any unit cost to match your material, supplier, or crew rates. All changes update the total in real time.
Export SOV & proposal
One click generates a formatted Schedule of Values and client-facing proposal ready to submit to the GC. No reformatting required.

Commercial Plumbing Subcontractors
Bidding commercial, healthcare, and institutional plumbing for GCs? ScopeTakeoff handles waste & vent, domestic water, storm, and gas with SOV output formatted for GC submission. Multi-entity profiles for contractors licensed in multiple states.
Multi-Family Plumbing

Plumbing & Mechanical Subs
Bid plumbing alongside HVAC piping and gas from the same tool. Mixed-system jobs produce separate material lists per system, all rolled into one clean SOV for the GC.
