How It Works Trades Pricing

From job notes to professional scope in 60 seconds.

No estimating experience required. No templates to fill out. Just describe the job and Skopos does the rest.

Three steps. That's it.

Skopos is built for contractors, not software engineers.

1

Describe the Job

Type a description of the project — trade type, square footage, location, existing conditions, what needs to be done. The more detail you give, the better the output. You can also upload photos directly from your phone or computer.

  • Works for 9 trades including painting, roofing, drywall, flooring, and restoration
  • Upload up to 20 site photos per job
  • Add client name and address for branded output
  • Takes 60–90 seconds to fill out

AI Writes the Scope

Skopos sends your job details to a construction-trained AI that understands trade language, standard exclusions, and regional pricing. In about 30 seconds, you get a complete scope of work with all the sections a professional estimate needs.

  • Project summary in plain English
  • Scope of work broken down by trade section
  • Inclusions list — what IS covered
  • Exclusions list — what is NOT covered
  • Assumptions to protect you if conditions change
  • Line-item estimate with labor, materials, quantities, and totals
