Why drywallers switch

Built for production work, big crews, and per-square pricing.

Price book in square feet

Hang per square foot. Tape per square foot. Mud and finish per square foot. Texture upcharge as a line item. The estimate matches how you bid in the field.

Crew time from a phone

Each crew member clocks in and out from their phone. Hours land on the right job automatically. No paper time sheets, no Sunday-night reconciliation.

Job stages tracked separately

Hang done, tape next. Tape done, mud next. Each stage has a status the office can see without calling the lead.

Per-crew per-day profitability

Hours times rate compared to the line item billed. If a crew is taking longer than the estimate priced, the dashboard surfaces it the same week.

Photo close-out

Foreman snaps the walls before demo, after hang, after finish. Photos attached to the job. Customer signs off on completion in the approval link.

Batch billing for production jobs

Subdivision with 12 units? Bill each unit as it finishes. Or bill the whole row at the end of the phase. Construction Scope doesn't force one model.

How a job runs

A typical drywall job in Construction Scope

Walk through what the same job looks like in the tool, from the first call to the final payment.

  1. 1

    Walkthrough to square-foot estimate

    Walk the site. Note hang area, finish area, texture spec. Estimate populates by the square foot — hang per sq ft, tape per sq ft, finish per sq ft. Texture is its own line item with an upcharge. Goes out in ten minutes.

  2. 2

    Crew assignment and time tracking

    Approved estimate gets a crew assigned. Each crew member clocks in from their phone when they arrive on site, clocks out when they leave. Hours land on the right job automatically.

  3. 3

    Stage-by-stage status

    Hang complete — status moves to Taping. Tape complete — Finishing. Finish complete — Inspection. The office sees the project status without calling the lead. The dashboard shows per-stage progress across all open jobs.

  4. 4

    Per-crew profitability the same week

    Compare hours billed to hours estimated per stage. If a crew is over on a job, the dashboard surfaces it the same week instead of after closeout. Adjust the bid on the next job, talk to the crew, fix the leak.

  5. 5

    Walkthrough and customer signoff

    Foreman snaps photos at completion. Customer reviews on their phone, signs the walkthrough form, notes any final touch-ups. Touch-ups assigned back to the crew with a due date.

  6. 6

    Batch billing for production work

    Subdivision job — 12 units. Bill unit-by-unit as they finish, or roll up to a phase invoice at the end. Both work. The unit ledger keeps the per-unit accounting clean.

Common questions

Questions drywall ask

Can I bid per square foot at different rates for hang vs. tape vs. finish?
Yes. Each is its own line item with its own rate. The estimate calculates the area once and applies the appropriate rate to each line. Customer sees the breakdown; the bidder doesn't have to do mental math.
How do crews clock in if they don't have smartphones?
Most crews do. For the ones that don't, a foreman can clock the crew in/out on behalf of others from their own phone. The hours land against the named crew member. Paper time sheets are also fine — they just get keyed into the job at the end of the week.
What about texture variations?
Texture is its own line item — orange peel, knockdown, smooth, custom. Save the texture types you use most as default line items. They drop into estimates with one click.
Does it work for commercial drywall?
Yes. Production work — strip malls, office buildouts, multi-unit residential — is what the square-foot pricing and stage tracking are built for. The same workspace that handles a $4,000 basement job handles a 50,000 sq ft buildout.
