How it works

From plan set to siding bid in minutes

ScopeTakeoff is siding quoting software built around how siding contractors actually bid commercial work — from elevations and wall area, not phone photos. Go from PDF plans to a submitted siding estimate faster than any other tool.

01

Upload your plans

Drag in your PDF elevation and floor-plan sheets. Measure wall area by elevation and mark window and door openings directly on the page.

→
02

Select your assemblies

Pick siding assemblies by product — vinyl, fiber cement, wood, metal. Enter wall area and let ScopeTakeoff deduct openings and apply the waste factor.

→
03

Adjust your pricing

Override any unit cost to match your product, supplier, or crew rates. Trim and accessories update from the edges. All changes update the total in real time.

→
04

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 Siding Subcontractors

What siding subs say about ScopeTakeoff

★★★★★

“The opening deducts alone save me. I measure the wall area off the elevations, mark the windows, and it nets out the siding with the right Hardie waste. Used to over-order boards on every multi-family job.”

★★★★★

“Every other siding tool we tried was built for residential guys selling re-sides off phone pics. We bid commercial exterior for GCs — ScopeTakeoff is the only one that gives me a real SOV with trim broken out.”

MK
Marcus K.

★★★★★

“Mixed-product buildings used to take me all day — fiber cement field, vinyl gables, metal accents. Now each product has its own waste and material list and it all rolls into one bid. Multi-entity keeps the right license on every proposal.”

FAQ

Common questions about siding estimating software

ScopeTakeoff is purpose-built siding estimating software for commercial siding subcontractors. It includes assembly libraries for vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and metal panel — with wall-area takeoff, automatic window and door deducts, waste factors by product, trim and accessory takeoff, and SOV output for GC submission — at $100 per person per month. No sales call, no implementation fee, no annual contract.
Yes. ScopeTakeoff is built specifically for commercial siding subcontractors bidding GC-level exterior, multi-family, and institutional work. It includes wall-area takeoff with opening deducts, SOV output formatted for GC submission, multi-entity company profiles for contractors licensed in multiple states, and a team estimating workflow so your estimators can collaborate on bids with a review-before-submit process.
ScopeTakeoff covers all major siding products: vinyl (horizontal lap, Dutch lap, vertical), fiber cement lap, panel, and shingle (Hardie-type), engineered wood and natural wood, and metal panel (standing seam, corrugated, flush). Each assembly applies the right waste factor per product and pulls trim, starter, J-channel, corners, soffit, fascia, and house wrap from the edges, openings, and wall area in your takeoff.
You measure wall area by elevation directly on the PDF, then mark window and door openings. ScopeTakeoff subtracts the openings to give net siding area, applies the product’s waste factor, and pulls trim and accessories from the perimeter of those openings and the wall edges — so a window both reduces the siding and adds its own trim, automatically.
Pricing varies widely. ScopeTakeoff is $100 per person per month — no annual lock-in, no implementation fees, and a 14-day free trial. PlanSwift is roughly $240–350 per user per year, STACK uses quote and plan-based pricing, and Hover is about $29 per property or $999 per year for Pro. For a solo estimator ScopeTakeoff is $1,200/year with transparent pricing you can see before you sign up.
Yes. ScopeTakeoff is fully web-based — it runs in any browser on Mac, PC, tablet, or mobile. There’s nothing to install and no local data. Unlike Windows-oriented desktop tools such as PlanSwift, your siding estimates are accessible from any device at any time.
Yes — and it’s significantly faster. Excel has no siding assembly library, no opening deducts, no waste factors by product, and no SOV output. Every estimate starts from scratch and a wrong area or missed waste factor on a large wall scope costs real money in shortfalls or restocking. ScopeTakeoff gives you product assemblies, wall-area takeoff, automatic trim, and one-click SOV export. Most siding subs cut their estimating time by 60–70% within the first week.
