before you’re back in the truck.

How it works
Walk the job with your phone
Snap photos, record a voice note as you talk through the job, and punch in room dimensions, ceiling height and fixture counts.
Review the draft scope
Speech is transcribed and a vision model turns photos, notes and measurements into line items. Low-confidence items and assumptions are flagged for you to check.
Send a branded proposal
Priced from your own price book with Good / Better / Best options. Export a PDF or create a client link the homeowner can accept — only when you click.
Your price book, your numbers
Materials, waste factors, labour hours × your rate, markup, contingency and GST 5% by default (HST or your own rate in settings). Starter Alberta basement & bath list included — rates are yours to fill in.
Measurement math done for you
Wall areas from perimeter × ceiling height, openings deducted, partitions, baseboard and paint areas — every quantity shows how it was derived.
Good / Better / Best
Laminate vs. LVP vs. premium subfloor, acrylic kit vs. tiled shower, heated floors — each option shows a likely price with a low–high range.
Client accept link
Homeowners pick an option, type their name and accept. The job moves to Accepted in your pipeline automatically.
Simple pipeline
Draft → Sent → Accepted or Lost. See what's waiting on you and what's waiting on the client.
Built for review, not autopilot
Draft banner on every estimate. Flagged lines must be ticked before sending. Placeholder rates are stamped on the proposal.
Accuracy is the whole job. So you stay in charge.
AI can miss a hidden rough-in or misjudge a wall from a photo. Scopewright is designed around that: it drafts, you decide.
- Every estimate is a draft for you to review: it carries a “Draft estimate — for your review” banner, and the client copy carries an estimate notice.
- Each line shows how its quantity was derived and a confidence level; guesses are flagged in red.
- AI quantities that disagree with your measured geometry by more than 30% are flagged automatically.
- Prices only ever come from your price book — the AI never invents a dollar figure.
- Nothing reaches a homeowner until you tick every flagged line and click “Create client link”.
Permits are on every basement estimate
Permit fees are included as pass-through lines (no markup) for you to fill in with your municipality’s actual fees.
Edmonton: the City requires permits to finish a basement or build a bedroom or bathroom; most projects need a development permit and a building permit, with separate permits for heating/ventilation, plumbing, gas and electrical work. edmonton.ca
Calgary: a building permit is required to develop a basement for the first time, for structural changes or new openings, with separate electrical and plumbing permits. calgary.ca

Questions
Does the AI set my prices?+
No. The AI (or, without an AI key, the built-in rules) only proposes line items and quantities from your photos, voice note and measurements. Every dollar comes from your own price book: material cost × waste factor plus labour hours × your rate, then your markup, contingency and 5% GST.
How accurate are the estimates?+
Treat every estimate as a first draft. Scopewright shows how each quantity was derived, lists its assumptions, and flags low-confidence lines (guessed partition lengths, hidden rough-in, moisture, HVAC capacity). You can't create a client link until you've ticked every flagged line as reviewed.
Will it ever send something to my client on its own?+
Never. Nothing is emailed. A client link only exists after you click “Create client link” and confirm you've reviewed the estimate. You send the link yourself, and you can disable it at any time.
Are the starter prices real?+
No. New accounts start with a starter list of basement and bathroom items with the rates left blank for you to fill in. You can optionally load placeholder example numbers to try the app — they're stamped “Placeholder” everywhere and a proposal that still uses them says so in red.
What about permits?+
Permit fees are separate pass-through lines. The City of Edmonton requires permits to finish a basement (most projects need a development permit and a building permit, plus separate trade permits), and the City of Calgary requires a building permit to develop a basement for the first time, plus separate electrical and plumbing permits. Enter your municipality's actual fees.
Which areas and trades does it support?+
It's built for basement development and bathroom renovations in Alberta, starting with Edmonton and Calgary. You can add your own price-book items for anything else.
