What flooring contractors say about ScopeTakeoff

★★★★★

“The waste factor calculation by layout pattern is the feature I didn’t know I needed. Diagonal layouts need more waste than straight — ScopeTakeoff handles that automatically. No more manual adjustments.”

“We do a lot of commercial work — retail rollouts, multifamily projects. The SOV output organized by room and flooring type is exactly how the GC wants it. We’ve never had a submission rejected.”

★★★★★

“The subfloor prep assembly saves us every time. We used to forget to add prep as a line item and eat the cost. Now it’s automatic — every flooring assembly includes the prep scope by default.”
