Why trade-specific

Why generic construction estimating software fails subcontractors

Most construction estimating software is designed for GCs managing multiple trades at once. When a concrete sub, drywall contractor, or painting company uses it, they’re fighting the software instead of using it — generic assemblies, no trade-specific unit costs, and SOVs formatted for the wrong audience.

  • ✓ Trade-specific assemblies — not generic line items you have to rebuild from scratch every bid
  • ✓ Automatic calculations per trade — tonnage for asphalt, board count for drywall, coverage for painting, CY for concrete
  • ✓ SOV formatted for GC submission — not a homeowner estimate template repurposed for commercial work
  • ✓ Every trade at one price — subs who work across multiple trades (concrete + masonry, painting + drywall) don’t pay extra
  • ✓ Built for subcontractor workflows — bid volume, multi-state licensing, multi-entity profiles, team estimating

How it works

Estimating software for contractors who actually bid work

ScopeTakeoff is built around three things subcontractor estimators actually need — and nothing else.

01

Select your trade and scope

Choose from 10+ trade-specific assembly libraries. Every scope your trade covers is pre-built — flatwork, CMU, Level 4 finish, roof takeoff, paint coverage. No building from scratch.

02

Enter quantities, get a priced estimate

Input your takeoff quantities — SF, LF, CY, units. ScopeTakeoff applies pre-loaded unit costs for material, labor, and equipment and calculates the total automatically. Override anything to match your market.

03

Export SOV or client proposal

One click exports a GC-formatted Schedule of Values or a professional client-facing proposal. Formatted correctly for your trade, organized the way your customer wants to see it.

Pricing

All trades. One price. No surprises.

Every trade-specific assembly library is included at every plan. Concrete sub who also does masonry? Both trades. Painting and drywall? Both trades. Same $100/person/month either way.

FAQ

Common questions about trade estimating software

What is trade-specific estimating software?+
Trade-specific estimating software includes pre-built assembly libraries tailored to each construction trade — rather than generic line items that apply to every trade equally. For a concrete contractor, that means assemblies for flatwork, footings, and rebar with automatic CY calculations. For a drywall contractor, it means board count, Level 1–5 finishing, and fire-rated assemblies. ScopeTakeoff is purpose-built trade estimating software with separate assembly libraries for 10+ trades, all accessible at one per-seat price.
Is ScopeTakeoff estimating software for subcontractors or general contractors?+
ScopeTakeoff is built specifically for subcontractors and trade contractors. It includes SOV output formatted for GC submission, multi-entity company profiles for contractors licensed across multiple states, and bid review workflows for estimating teams. Most construction estimating software is designed for GCs and project managers — ScopeTakeoff is designed for the subs who actually perform the work.
How many trades does ScopeTakeoff support?+
ScopeTakeoff currently includes purpose-built assembly libraries for concrete, masonry, drywall, painting, flooring, HVAC, remodeling, landscape, asphalt, and roofing — with plumbing and electrical coming soon. Every trade library is included at every plan at no additional cost. A contractor who does both concrete and masonry, or painting and drywall, pays the same $100 per person per month as a single-trade contractor.
What’s the difference between ScopeTakeoff and STACK CT or Procore?+
STACK CT and Procore are designed for GCs and larger construction companies with enterprise budgets — STACK starts at $499/month and Procore at $600+/month, both with required sales calls and implementation processes. ScopeTakeoff is $100 per person per month, self-serve with a 14-day free trial, and purpose-built for subcontractors. The assembly libraries are trade-specific, not generic, and the SOV output is formatted for how subs actually submit to GCs.
Can I use ScopeTakeoff for multiple trades on the same project?+
Yes. ScopeTakeoff is designed for subcontractors who work across multiple trades. A painting and drywall subcontractor can estimate both scopes in the same project and produce a single combined SOV or separate proposals per trade. A concrete and masonry sub can do the same. All trade libraries are accessible within the same project — there’s no need to switch platforms or subscriptions.
