Each stage hands the next its numbers: the takeoff becomes the estimate, the estimate the levelling sheet, the awarded scope what ScopeGuard defends. From $69 a month, nothing to install.
Measures a 400-sheet drawing set while you eat lunch, then flags every place the sheets contradict each other.
Replaces: two estimators, a scale rule and three evenings of highlighting per tender.
Catches the spec calling for 4-hour rated assemblies while the drawings show 2-hour, then writes the RFI.
Replaces: the spec read-through nobody has time for, and the change order it turns into.
Turns the takeoff into a priced bid you can defend line by line, with the walk-away number attached.
Replaces: the bid-day spreadsheet with last year’s rates and a contingency picked by feel.
Levels a dozen sub quotes onto one scope and shows you that the low bid is low because it excluded the hoisting.
Replaces: the levelling spreadsheet built from scratch, at midnight, the day before award.
Flags when two trades are both carrying the same exclusion, and prices the scope that nobody carried at all.
Replaces: finding the hole in the buyout when the invoice arrives, not when you can still argue.
Are you going to finish on time? It tells you where the float actually is, what schedule logic is broken, and how much time a delay event cost once the float was spent.
The certificate expired three weeks ago. TradeVet tracks the paperwork that actually blocks a subcontractor from being allowed on site.
Committed value says one thing; burn rate says another. CostLine tracks what happens to the budget once work starts — the part the Estimator, which prices the bid once, does not cover.
For teams who need the system wired into what they already run: Procore, Bluebeam, Sage.
Opened one at a time, the eight live programs still leave someone retyping numbers between them. Opened together, the takeoff lands in the estimator without a single re-keyed quantity, the awarded scope lands in ScopeGuard, the awarded subcontract lands in FloatGuard and TradeVet, and every figure on the bid traces back to the sheet it was measured from.
660-odd scope requirements, 57 priced assemblies, 27 risk rules and eight finished programs, tested on live tenders. You are not funding that work — it is done, it is running, and a plan is the key to it.

To read your tender package we have to receive it, so here is what happens to it. It lands in a workspace scoped to your account and is read by Marapone’s own model, on infrastructure Marapone runs. No AI vendor receives it, nothing is trained on it, and no OpenAI, Anthropic or Google model is anywhere in the path. You can delete a project, files and all, from inside the program.
Ten-plus years in field construction operations before a line of this was written — pouring, coordinating trades, chasing RFIs that should have been answered three weeks earlier. We didn’t research these problems. We were the ones eating them.
Three engagements, not a controlled study: each figure is one firm’s own measurement of its own projects, reported to us, and no fourth case is being left out. The firms asked not to be named, which limits what the numbers can tell you, so treat them as three data points and get your own. That is what the free trial and the ROI calculator are for.

Estimating software is usually sold by a call, a scoping exercise and a quote. Here is why this one does not need any of that, in the order it matters when you are deciding.
Every plan, what is in it, and the seat count, on the pricing page. You pay by card and the programs open. No implementation fee, and no number that depends on your revenue.
Upload a set and the audit runs while you wait. Nothing here is queued for a person to work through overnight, which is also why nobody at Marapone reads your drawings.
The model runs on our own infrastructure. Your drawings are not sent to an AI vendor, not used to train anything, and the sub-processor list is one name long.
Every code finding carries its clause and the sheet it came from, across eight jurisdiction packs. A finding you cannot trace is one you cannot take to a consultant.
PDF, DWG, DXF and IFC, read directly. There is no conversion step and no drawing preparation service between you and a takeoff.
Every program opens a real sample set on the first day, with the numbers the software actually produced from it — and what it will not do written down.
The trial takes a card, because a trial that does not is a trial nobody finishes. What it does not take is a meeting.
The big platforms price on your annual volume, bill per module, and charge an implementation fee before anything is switched on. Grow, and the invoice grows with you.
We charge one flat price per firm, whatever you build, and it works the day you sign in. There is nothing to install, so there is nothing to roll out.
| Marapone | Big platforms | |
|---|---|---|
| What sets the price | Seats | Your annual volume |
| Implementation fee | $0 | $5,000+ |
| Live on | Day one | Week six |
| Minimum commitment | One month | One year |
| Whose model reads your files | Ours | A third party’s |
| Trained on your documents | Never | Check the terms |
| Cost, five seats, one year | $4,990 | $15,000–$40,000 |
Platform figures are typical published ranges for mid-size GC packages. Yours will differ — ask them, then compare.
Billing, seats and plan changes are answered on the pricing page.
To us, and no further. Your files are processed on Marapone’s own infrastructure, by our own open-weights model, in a workspace scoped to your account. No third-party AI vendor is in the path, nothing you upload trains any model, and you can delete a project and its derived data at any time. The security overview has the detail.
No. The programs run on our servers and arrive in a browser tab, so a five-year-old office laptop works as well as a workstation. No installer, no admin rights, no licence key — all you need is a connection.
Seven days on Solo or fourteen on Field, and both are the real programs on your own drawings, with unlimited runs. You add a card at Stripe because the trial is a subscription that has not started billing: nothing is charged until it ends, and cancelling before then from your dashboard costs nothing. One trial per account.
Where the job starts for you. If you already have quantities, Solo ($69/mo) prices them with the AI Estimator. If you measure off drawings, Field ($149/mo) adds Blueprint Auditor — that is the plan the fourteen-day trial opens. Crew ($299/mo) adds SpecChecker and ScopeGuard for up to three people, and Pro ($499/mo) opens all eight for five. Compare the five plans.
You keep access to the end of the period you paid for, with no notice period and no fee, and everything the programs produced — takeoffs, estimates, levelled bids, reports — exports to PDF, Excel and CSV. Projects are kept for 90 days after you cancel in case you come back, then deleted.
No, and no plan is limited to it. Name the province, state or country you build in and the programs read that jurisdiction’s rates, tax, holdback rules and code, on Field as much as on Firm.
Blueprint Auditor and the AI Estimator on your own drawings, with no document cap and no metering. A card to start, nothing charged until day 15. Plans run from $69 to $1,199 a month — compare all five.
