TradeTek Software

What TradeTek Software does

TradeTek Software is a privately-held construction technology company that provides digital takeoff and estimating software for the construction industry. Founded by individuals with a combined 60 years of experience in construction and software development, the Henderson, Nevada-based company serves a broad vertical customer base including general contractors, lumber yards, truss plants, developers, architects, appraisers, specialty contractors, and trade-specific contractors across masonry, concrete, framing, roofing, drywall, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, siding, flooring, millwork, painting, EIFS, paving, tile, insulation, civil, and landscape work.

The company's core product, TradeTek, is a 64-bit cross-platform desktop application for Windows and macOS that performs digital takeoffs with customizable assemblies, manages multi-column database lists (built-in or externally connected), and generates reports for bid proposals. The product surface extends through TradeTek Cloud (a hybrid cloud sync solution with admin user controls), TradeTek Shared (single-user multi-computer sync), eight pre-built trade-specific bundles (Framing, Concrete, Interiors, Siding, Millworks, Roofing, Flooring, Masonry), and integration plugins for Procore and QuickBooks. The platform features an open API and integrates with Epicor ERP, LMC, and several construction management platforms including Buildertrend, ECI Spruce, Contractor Foreman, Craftsman Data, and InnoDraw. AI integration via third-party ChatGPT and Groq models is positioned as a productivity feature in TradeTek 3.2.

TradeTek operates a self-serve subscription model with monthly pricing of $99-$149 per computer and annual pricing of $995-$1,495 per computer, supplemented by lifetime-licensed trade bundles and plugins sold through the TradeTek Store. Distribution is primarily through the company's direct e-commerce website and self-serve purchase, augmented by strategic channel partnerships with Epicor Software Corp. and Lumbermens Merchandising Corporation, a sales partner program with referral commissions, and an academic program partnering with construction management programs at colleges. Additional revenue comes from one-on-one training services priced at $495 per three-hour block. The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding rounds.

Emerging players

• Togal.AI: AI-first takeoff tool that automates measurement from drawings. Directly comparable to TradeTek's AI-driven positioning but with a more cloud-native, automation-first approach.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: Largest construction management platform with embedded estimating and partner integrations. Competes indirectly via Procore's own estimating modules and directly via the Connect Procore plugin.
• WinEst (by Trimble): Detailed cost estimating software used by general contractors and specialty trades. Overlaps with TradeTek's assemblies and database-list-driven estimating workflow at the enterprise GC level.
• Bluebeam (Nemetschek Group): Industry-standard PDF markup and takeoff tool for construction. Overlaps with TradeTek's takeoff capabilities but is embedded in a much broader document collaboration platform.

Others

• InnoDraw: Laser-based on-site measurement software that integrates with TradeTek via PDF export. Adjacent ecosystem player rather than a competitor, included because it sits in TradeTek's documented integration ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Buildertrend: Residential construction management and estimating platform. Targets overlapping SMB contractor segments, with comparable takeoff-to-proposal workflows and similar price points.
• STACK Construction Technologies: Cloud-based takeoff and estimating platform purpose-built for construction trades. Direct overlap with TradeTek's digital takeoff, assemblies, and bid proposal workflow, and a stronger cloud-native positioning.
• 1ClickEstimate: Construction estimating software for contractors across multiple trades. Direct comparable to TradeTek on price-per-seat subscription and trade-specific estimating focus.
• PlanSwift (by ConstructConnect): Long-standing takeoff and estimating software used across trades including concrete, framing, roofing, and electrical. Directly competes with TradeTek's trade-specific bundles and assemblies on similar desktop-and-cloud pricing.
• On-Screen Takeoff (by Trimble): Construction takeoff software widely used by estimators and subcontractors. Directly comparable core function to TradeTek's digital takeoff tools across multiple trades.
