Walk the job. Take photos. Send a priced estimate before you get back in the truck. SnapScope is a construction cost estimator for contractors. Photograph the work, answer a few questions, and get a full estimate with line items, labor hours, material quantities and your own hourly rates — then send it as a branded PDF your client can sign. And show them the finished job before it starts: SnapScope turns your site photo into a photorealistic after image, from the same scope you just priced. HOW IT WORKS 1. PHOTOGRAPH THE JOB Walk the site and shoot what needs doing. SnapScope reads the surfaces, the trades involved and the rough quantities. 2. CONFIRM THE SCOPE It asks the handful of questions an estimator would ask — square footage, wall condition, who moves the furniture — and you correct anything it read wrong. 3. PRICE IT WITH YOUR NUMBERS Labor hours by trade at your saved rates. Materials with real quantities and current prices. Markup and contingency you control. 4. SEND THE BID A clean PDF with your logo, your terms, your signature, and three optional add-ons the client can accept. WHAT YOU GET PHOTO-TO-ESTIMATE Site photos become itemized scope. No measuring, no takeoff software, no spreadsheet on the tailgate. BEFORE AND AFTER RENDERS Show the client their own house with the work done. Same photo, same framing, finished. YOUR RATES, NOT AVERAGES Set your hourly rate per trade once. Every estimate uses your numbers, not a national average. REAL MATERIAL PRICING Quantities calculated from the scope, priced against current supplier listings. MARKUP AND CONTINGENCY Set both, see your cost and the client price side by side, and know your margin before you send. OPTIONAL ADD-ONS Three add-ons worth mentioning while your crew is already on site, priced and ready for the client to accept. EDIT BY TYPING "Add trim painting." "Switch to premium decking." "Drop the contingency to 5%." The estimate updates. BUILT FOR THE TRADES General contractors. Remodelers. Painters and drywall. Carpenters. Roofers and siding. Flooring. Plumbers and electricians. Masonry and concrete. Fencing and decking. Landscaping. Handymen. If you write bids, this replaces the evening you spend writing them.
