FAQ

Questions excavation contractors ask before signing up.

Is BuildScope built for excavation contractors?
Yes. BuildScope is built around real excavation contractor scopes of works, with excavation contractors-specific line items, inclusions and wording. It is not a generic template you have to bend to fit.
Can BuildScope help excavation contractors avoid missed items?
That is the point. It prompts for the things excavation contractors commonly leave off a quote, like site access and service locating, so fewer items slip through before you send the scope.
Do I need to enter all my rates upfront?
No. BuildScope ships with sensible recommended rates so you can start straight away, then you override any rate with your own. They are saved and reused on every job.
Can I edit the scope after the AI builds it?
Always. Every line item, quantity, rate and section is editable. Reorder, add, remove or reword anything before you export.
Does BuildScope work from voice notes and photos?
Yes. Talk through the excavation contractor job, or drop in site notes and a PDF, and BuildScope turns it into a structured Scope of Works you review and tidy.
How does the free trial work?
30 days free, no credit card. Build and export as many scopes as you like during the trial.
