Simplified illustration, not the app itself
Why estimators switch
Takeoff shouldn't cost you your evenings.
- Hours marking every symbol
- One miss costs you
- Addendums mean recounting
- Turning down good bids
- Locked into annual contracts

The core bid, start to finish. Upload a set, get a count you can check, a priced estimate, and a proposal ready to send.
Count a receptacle and price the whole thing: the box, the ring, the device, the plate, and the labor to trim it out. Start from stock assemblies or build them the way your crew actually installs.
Homeruns, circuit numbers, and conduit fill, mapped on the plan. Draw the runs yourself or let Spark Bid rough them in, then price wire and pipe by the foot.
Your logo, your terms, your exclusions. The proposal reads like it came from your shop, not from software.
Push estimates, invoices, and payments straight into QuickBooks or Xero. No double entry, your books stay current.
Bill from the same file that won the job. Progress payments and reminders when money comes due.
Copper doesn't wait for your price sheet. Material priced from live supplier feeds the day you bid, so the number you send still holds when you buy.
Ready when you are
Skeptical? Good.
Put a real plan set through it and judge the count for yourself.
