Your catalog, imported
We load your spec book and price file into your org's catalog, so extracted material takeoffs (MTOs) match against your materials and your exports carry your unit prices from the first project.
Design partners
We implement the platform around your bids and take direction from you on what to build next.
Founder-delivered implementation covering your catalog, your drawings, and your bid history, at founding-partner pricing, in exchange for real usage and honest feedback. The price and the commitments are below, not behind a demo call.
50% off the published plan for your first 6 months, month to month. After that, the published price.
What the engagement delivers
None of this is a pilot: everything below is delivered by the founder, on your own corpus, before your team is asked to change a habit, and it's included in the partnership rate rather than billed as a separate engagement.
Tuning on your drawings
We run a representative packet of your isos through extraction, grade the results, and tune spec-class and catalog configuration against how your drawings actually look, not a demo set.
Your bid history, loaded
We load your past bids during onboarding: your historical bid folders (estimate spreadsheets, MTOs, vendor quotes) become queryable projects in your org, next to your live work. That gives the history checks something to compare against from your first project: a material quantity that sits well outside your past jobs gets flagged on the project BOM, and a vendor price outside what you've been quoted before gets flagged when you review the quote. Without the import, the checks start once three comparable bids of your own are in the platform. Your history stays yours: full export, any time.
Onboarding that happens in working sessions
We sit with your estimating team on real packages until the workflow sticks, rather than mailing you documents. Your named contact is the founder.
Founding-partner pricing
Half off the published plan for your first 6 months, month to month, no annual commitment. When that ends you move to the published price, still month to month. The dates and the rate are in the contract from day one.
A real say in the roadmap
Design partners are why features get built. The bid-confidence work partners asked for (a document-completeness manifest on every project, a flag when two sheets in a package carry the same drawing number, and quantity and price checks against your own past bids) is in the product today. The next round, cross-checking isos against your spec sheets, line lists and valve schedules, plus written revision summaries, turns on with partners first.
What we ask in return
Publishing the asks matters as much as publishing the price. If these don't fit, the standard plan is on the pricing page, no hard feelings.
Real bids through the platform
More than half of your bids running through PipeTakeoff within six months. The partnership only teaches us anything if the work is real.
A biweekly 30 minutes
One short feedback session every two weeks with your designated project lead during the partnership period. You tell us what isn't working and what the product should do next.
A story we can tell
Case-study rights with your approval (anonymized if you prefer) and up to four reference calls a year with serious prospects.
What it costs
50% off the published plan for your first 6 months, billed month to month with no annual commitment and no implementation fee. Implementation, your catalog, the tuning, your bid history, is included in the partnership rather than invoiced separately.
At month 6 the rate steps up, and we tell you that now rather than at renewal: it becomes the published price you can already see on the pricing page. The discount and the step-up date are in the agreement you sign on day one.
There's no free-pilot version. Partners who pay stay engaged, they put real bids through the platform and tell us when it's wrong, and our time goes to the ones who do. If you'd rather test the water first, the managed takeoff runs one project for you at a published flat rate.
Who it's for
Estimating and procurement teams at industrial and mechanical piping contractors, pipe fabricators (fab shops: your own page is here), and self-perform EPCs that carry design, procurement, and fabrication under one roof. We run at most 3 partnerships at a time. The biweekly cadence and founder-delivered implementation don't survive more than that.
What decides the fit is your drawings, not the name on your company. We read isometrics that came out of a CAD system as PDFs. If your packages are hand-drawn or scanned legacy sheets, or the work downstream of the takeoff needs weld schedules and cutting lists, tell us in the first email: that isn't what we do today, and we'd rather say so than take a kickoff invoice.
Sound like your shop?
Email us what you bid, how many bids a year, and what your current takeoff workflow looks like. We'll tell you straight whether a partnership fits, and if it doesn't, the first project is free anyway.
