Built for framing

Software for framing contractors

Walls, floors, roofs and trusses — quoted off a lumber take-off in a market where lumber will not hold a price. Framing is fast work with slow paperwork, and a quote written three weeks ago against today's lumber is somebody's loss. TradesOps takes off the material, prices it at your current rates, and keeps the inspections on schedule.

Where framing jobs lose money

Not the dramatic failures — the ordinary ones that happen on a normal week.

Lumber prices moving under a quote

Update your rates once and every new quote uses them. You can see what a job would price at today before you honour a number from last month.

Take-offs done twice, on paper and again in the quote

The take-off is the quote. Enter the dimensions and the lumber, sheathing, hardware and fasteners come out priced.

Inspections and stages losing days

Stages and inspections sit on the schedule with the crew assignments, so nobody is waiting on site for a sign-off nobody booked.

Framing questions

Can it do a lumber take-off?

Yes. Enter the dimensions and it returns studs, plates, sheathing, joists and hardware with waste applied, priced from your own rates.

How do I keep up with lumber prices?

Your price book is yours to update, and it applies to every quote written after you change it. You can also see how a change would affect what you have already quoted.

Does it handle progress billing across stages?

Yes. Bill by stage or by percentage complete, with each invoice tied to the job so what has been billed and what is left to bill are both visible.
