Why switch from STACK Construction Technologies?
Cloud-based plan takeoff with powerful measurement tools, but priced for firms doing $5M+ in annual revenue. Overkill for a sub or small GC estimating residential and light commercial work.
- Don’t need a $3,000/year platform when you estimate 2–3 jobs a week
- Most of your jobs don’t have digital plans — you measure on site and estimate from dimensions
- Want a fast material estimate, not a full preconstruction workflow
