TradeTek

What it is

TradeTek is takeoff and estimating software for construction teams. Its digital takeoff tools measure projects, and one estimating workflow supports preliminary budgets, detailed estimates and project bids. Users can create custom takeoff assemblies and multiple-column database lists, then update pricing in one place and refresh jobs and assemblies. Custom reports can be exported to Excel, PDF or CSV.

TradeTek connects with ERP, POS, construction management and accounting software through database lists, exports or API integrations. Named connections include Epicor BisTrack, Sage, QuickBooks, Buildertrend, ECI Spruce, Contractor Foreman and Craftsman Data. The optional TradeTek Cloud license stores and syncs jobs with controlled access; administrators can configure users, and users can keep working offline before syncing after reconnecting.

The software supports Windows 10 or 11 64-bit and macOS 10.14 or later on a 64-bit Intel or ARM processor. Licenses include technical support and updates. Monthly licenses start at $99 a month per computer; annual licenses start at $995 a year per computer. The company serves estimating teams of different sizes across trades including concrete, framing, electrical, plumbing, roofing, civil and specialty work.
