Description

Purple Hammer serves as a desktop solution for takeoff and estimating, tailored specifically for construction estimators and quantity surveyor teams, embodying the potential that Bluebeam aimed to achieve. Its standout features encompass a 120 FPS PDF viewer, comprehensive markups and measurements (such as length, area, count, perimeter, volume, and wall volume), and advanced drawing comparison capabilities that include auto alignment, blinking, and support for multiple candidates. Furthermore, it provides built-in estimating worksheets, allows the use of takeoff formulas with power syntax, and includes cost and contract lookup tables. The software also offers an open MCP for AI access, a one-click "Magic Measure" function, and the ability to snap to geometry, grid, and raster edges. Additionally, it comes equipped with live document and version control, and supports exporting marked-up PDFs, Excel files, and comparison GIFs. Compatible with both Mac and Windows, Purple Hammer is an all-in-one tool designed to streamline the estimating process for construction professionals. Its user-friendly interface and robust functionality make it an essential asset for enhancing efficiency and accuracy in construction projects.

Description

TradesMetrics takes care of all aspects of the project for small residential general contractors, from the initial estimate to the final payment. By selecting a specific job type, it generates a detailed line-by-line pricing breakdown using authentic cost data from the US and Canada, incorporating your own rates and markups; this estimate transitions into a legally binding contract and a dynamic budget that reflects your actual expenses. All elements, including change orders, a client portal, and payment processing, are centralized in one interface rather than being spread across multiple spreadsheets and applications. Additionally, there is a field voice assistant named heyJackie, and the pricing model is usage-based, allowing you to start for free and only pay 0.5% of the contract value as your business expands, without any per-seat subscription fees. This streamlined approach helps contractors save time and reduce the complexity of managing their projects.
