Our approach

Better tools.
Human judgment.

We believe the person behind the estimate matters. ScopeSift handles the first draft so you can focus on the decisions that make the bid.

Why we built ScopeSift

The first draft
is the slow part.

Estimators we worked with spent most of a bid week measuring from plans that were rarely consistent and almost never machine-readable. Waste, deductions, sequencing, vendor pricing — the judgment work got squeezed into whatever hours were left.

ScopeSift puts a quantity draft in front of you with the drawing evidence already attached. You can see the work, correct the details, and stay in control of every quantity that exports.

Our job is to help you move from a complicated plan set to a takeoff you have reviewed and can stand behind.

The principles behind the product

Built to earn your trust.

01

Drafts, not decisions

Quantities arrive as a starting point. Your estimator makes the final call on every number before it leaves.

02

Show the source

Every row keeps its drawing references so estimators can confirm where a number came from before it reaches the bid.

03

Faithful to the plans

We measure what the plans actually show. No invented surfaces, no silent assumptions about hidden waste.

04

Estimator-friendly exports

Outputs match the columns estimators already use so the work plugs into your existing bid process.

An open line

Let's talk
about your work.

Bid questions, team rollouts, a plan set that didn't come out the way you expected. We want to hear about it.
