Built in Colorado for Colorado contractors.

Three Steps. Fifteen Minutes. Done.

1

Describe the Job

Type it like you'd text it to your foreman: "200-amp panel upgrade, 2,400 sq ft ranch, existing aluminum wiring needs replacement, add 6 new circuits for kitchen remodel." Plain English. No forms to fill out.

2

AI Builds the Estimate

ScopeGauge breaks the job into line items - labor, materials, quantities, unit costs, and markup - using your job details and pricing setup. Review every line, answer scope questions, and adjust what you want.

3

Send and Manage the Job

Generate the proposal, track the outcome, and turn accepted work into a permit-aware job plan. When scope changes, create a change order without rebuilding the estimate from scratch.

Built for the Trades, Not for Tech Companies

AI Estimates with Review Built In

ScopeGauge drafts the estimate, then checks it for missing scope, weak assumptions, permit risk, and send-ready next steps before the proposal goes out.

Your Numbers, Calibrated Over Time

Set your labor rates, markup, and trade defaults. As jobs close, calibration compares estimated cost to actual cost so future bids start closer to how your shop really performs.

Scope Clarification Before You Price

The AI flags missing job details and asks targeted questions before the estimate is finalized, improving confidence while keeping you in control of the final scope.

Permit-Aware Planning

Surface likely electrical, plumbing, framing, mechanical, and other permit considerations early, then track permit status and job timeline blockers after the work is accepted.

Change Orders that Protect Margin

Capture added scope, price labor and materials, submit for approval, and keep the revised project value tied to the original estimate.

Proposal and Win/Loss Intelligence

Track proposal activity, record bid outcomes, and learn which trades, scopes, and pricing patterns are helping you win profitable work.

Common Questions

"Is this going to replace my estimator?"
No. ScopeGauge makes your estimator 5x faster. Instead of spending 4 hours building an estimate from scratch, they spend 15 minutes reviewing and adjusting the AI's output. You're not replacing expertise — you're freeing it up to focus on the judgment calls that actually win jobs.
"How accurate is the AI, really?"
It's a strong starting point, not a finished product. ScopeGauge gives you a trade-aware estimate that you review and adjust, then layers in confidence guidance, clarification questions, and review checks. Every line item is editable. You're always in control.
"How is this different from Joist / Procore / my spreadsheet?"
Joist is a digital form — you still fill in every line item by hand. Procore is built for $10M GCs, not 5-person electrical shops. Your spreadsheet works, but it takes 4 hours per estimate and looks like it was made in 1997. ScopeGauge uses AI to generate the estimate for you, then lets you adjust it. Different category entirely.
"What trades does it support?"
We're launching with general remodeling/renovation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. More trades coming — and the AI gets smarter the more contractors in your trade use it.
"How much does it cost?"
Plans start at $199/month with a 14-day free trial. No credit card required to start. See pricing details →
"Is my data safe?"
Your estimates, pricing, and client info are yours. We don't share your data with other contractors, and we don't sell it. Your competitive pricing data stays private to your organization.

Real contractors, real jobs

What Contractors Are Saying

"I was skeptical. Then it nailed my panel upgrade estimate within 8%. That's closer than most of my subs get."

— Electrical contractor, Denver

"I've been estimating for 22 years. Took me 4 hours on that kitchen remodel. ScopeGauge did it in 12 minutes. Most of the line items were spot on."

— General contractor, Boulder

"The AI missed a few things on my HVAC job, but the stuff it got right saved me half a day. I just added the missing items and sent the bid."

— HVAC contractor, Colorado Springs

Bid More Jobs. Win More Work. Go Home Earlier.

Every estimate you skip because "I don't have time to price that" is revenue you're leaving on the table. ScopeGauge lets you bid on the jobs you've been passing up — without hiring another estimator or working another weekend.
