ScopeTakeoff
ScopeTakeoff is construction estimating software built specifically for subcontractors and trade contractors. Unlike general construction estimating platforms designed for general contractors, ScopeTakeoff includes purpose-built assembly libraries for 10+ trades — concrete, masonry, drywall, painting, HVAC, flooring, remodeling, landscape, roofing, and asphalt — with trade-specific automatic calculations built into every assembly.
Concrete contractors get automatic cubic yard calculation from square footage and depth. Drywall contractors get automatic board count with opening deductions. Painting contractors get automatic paint coverage from surface area and coat count. Asphalt contractors get automatic tonnage from square footage and depth. Every trade gets the calculations it actually needs — not a generic template that requires manual math.
ScopeTakeoff is designed around the subcontractor workflow: upload a PDF plan, measure quantities directly from the drawing, select your trade assemblies, apply your markup, and export a professional Schedule of Values for GC submission or a client-facing proposal — all in minutes. No reformatting, no copying into Word, no separate spreadsheet for unit conversions.
The platform supports multi-entity company profiles for contractors licensed across multiple states, bid review workflows for estimating teams, and unlimited projects and estimates at every plan level. Both residential and commercial work are supported — residential jobs use the client-facing proposal format, commercial jobs use the SOV format formatted for GC procurement requirements.
ScopeTakeoff is $100 per person per month with all trade libraries included, no annual contract, and a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. It is the most cost-effective purpose-built trade estimating platform available — a fraction of the $499–$699/month charged by enterprise tools built for general contractors.
