Estimating software for contractors.

TradeGOAT builds the price from your real costs, then puts that number on your own proposal.

Crew, days, materials, travel, hotels and permits go in, line by line. Your overhead is in the cost before the margin, so the profit you see is profit you keep. It is one part of TradeGOAT, the all-in-one software that runs a trade business from the first proposal to the last payment.

Founding rate: the first 25 companies get half price for as long as they stay. Once those are gone, they're gone. A company name and an email is the whole signup. No credit card to start.

Evans Elevator Company runs on it every day. A second elevator company runs its service work on it.

How the estimating part works

Your costs go in. One margin comes out. No guessing.

You enter what the job really takes. TradeGOAT adds it up the same way every time, and whoever prices the job gets the same answer you would.

  • Every real cost, itemized. Crew, days, materials, travel, hotels and permits each get their own line.
  • Overhead is inside the cost. Your overhead per job day is counted before margin, not after.
  • One margin, with your own warning lines. You set the floor; the slider shows it in color while you price.
  • A rate for each kind of work. Your big-job rate and your service-call rate are different numbers, and each service keeps its own.
  • More than one option on a proposal, so the customer picks a scope.
  • The price fills the proposal. One set of numbers, typed once, on your own document.
It doesn't stop at the estimate
  • The customer signs online or on the glass, and signing starts the job.
  • The job gets dispatched and worked from a phone: time clock, service tickets and receipts.
  • Real costs come back from QuickBooks, so you see what the job made against what you priced.
