What asphalt contractors say about ScopeTakeoff

★★★★★

“The tonnage calculation alone is worth it. I used to have a separate Excel sheet just for tonnage math. Now I enter the SF and depth and it’s done. Way less room for error on material orders.”

“We do a lot of mill and overlay work. Having the milling and overlay as separate assemblies that roll up into one SOV is exactly what we needed. GCs get one clean document, no questions.”

★★★★★

“At $100/month this is a no-brainer. I was spending 2 hours on every parking lot bid doing tonnage math and building the proposal. Now it’s 20 minutes and we’re bidding twice as many jobs.”

Common questions about asphalt estimating software

What is the best asphalt estimating software for paving contractors?+
ScopeTakeoff is purpose-built asphalt estimating software for paving contractors. It includes asphalt-specific assembly libraries with automatic tonnage calculations for paving, milling, base, patching, crack sealing, and sealcoating — at $100 per person per month with no annual contract and a 14-day free trial.
How does asphalt paving estimating software calculate tonnage?+
Asphalt paving estimating software calculates tonnage by multiplying the paving area in SF by the compacted depth in inches, then applying an asphalt density factor — typically 110–115 lbs per cubic foot for standard HMA. ScopeTakeoff does this automatically for every paving assembly. Enter your SF and depth selection and tonnage, trucking loads, and paving crew cost are all calculated instantly without a separate spreadsheet.
What asphalt scopes does ScopeTakeoff cover?+
ScopeTakeoff covers all major asphalt paving scopes: new asphalt paving (surface course, binder course, base course), asphalt milling and overlay, aggregate base and subgrade preparation, asphalt patching and repair (including utility cuts and full-depth reclamation), crack sealing, sealcoating, and parking lot striping. Each assembly includes automatic tonnage or quantity calculation, trucking, equipment, and labor costs.
Does ScopeTakeoff work for both commercial and residential paving?+
Yes. ScopeTakeoff works for commercial paving contractors bidding large parking lots and roadwork for GCs, as well as residential paving contractors quoting driveways and private roads. Commercial jobs use the SOV output for GC submission, while residential jobs use the client-facing proposal format. Both are generated from the same estimate with one click.
How much does asphalt estimating software cost?+
ScopeTakeoff is $100 per person per month with no annual contract and a 14-day free trial. Most enterprise estimating software costs $400–$700 per month. For asphalt paving contractors who need accurate tonnage calculations and fast bid turnaround, ScopeTakeoff is the most cost-effective asphalt paving software available.
