Estimating with three-coat conventional, one-coat, and EIFS as distinct systems — not one collapsed "stucco" cost code. Texture finish captured as a scope variant. Mixed-crew labor on every scope. AIA G702/G703 pay apps. The same tool from the bid to the deposit.
It's lath + paper + scratch + brown + finish + texture — each with its own material, productivity, and labor mix. Generic estimating tools collapse the whole stack to "stucco $/SF" and you bid the wrong number on the first VE pass. When the GC asks to swap conventional three-coat for a one-coat system, the spreadsheet has to be re-keyed line by line.
Three-coat, one-coat, and EIFS are distinct scope templates — not flavors of the same row. Swap systems and the numbers re-run. The bid stays accurate through value engineering.
Scope templates, system layers, texture finish, and the back-office workflow are set up the way a stucco shop runs — not the way a generic SaaS thinks one runs.
Each system carries its own material stack, productivity defaults, and waste assumptions. Swap systems on a scope mid-bid and the numbers re-run. No spreadsheet rework when VE rewrites the spec.
Paper and lath by SF. Scratch coat, brown coat, finish coat each with their own productivity rate and material call. Casing beads, weep screeds, control joints by LF. Inspection-ready scope at the start.
Sand float, dash, lace, smooth — each carries its own productivity rate. Color in finish coat vs. paint applied separately. Color callouts visible in the foreman's daily install plan.
Mixed-crew labor on every scope — not one blended rate. Override per project for prevailing wage. Certified-payroll outputs roll up from time cards automatically.
AIA G702 + G703 with retainage tracking, stored material lines, and a schedule of values that traces back to your scope buildup. The PDF the GC stamps is the one the system generates.
Stucco-aware fields — lath installed, scratch applied, brown cured, finish texture status — alongside weather (humidity matters), manpower, and wall-by-wall photos. Three taps from a phone.
Every module the platform routes through. On a stucco job, here's how they line up.
The scope buildup becomes the project budget when you win. The foreman opens the install plan on a phone and sees the system spec, texture, color, and CJ layout by elevation. The bid is the install spec.
Photo-verified clock-in feeds the time card. Plasterer, tender, and helper hours stay separated for clean prevailing-wage and certified-payroll outputs.
Percent-complete by system layer (lath in, scratch on, brown cured, finish applied) maps to AIA G702/G703. SOV traces back to the scope rows you bid. Retainage tracks per draw.
You bid, you run, you bill. The bid stays accurate through three rounds of VE because the system layers are templated, not hand-keyed. One source of truth from the elevation to the deposit.
Install plan on a phone — system spec, texture, color, CJ layout. Daily log captures lath installed, coats applied, cure status. No paper, no tear-out, no Sunday night data entry.
AIA pay apps. AP with OCR'd vendor bills (lath supplier, finish color packs). Payroll that pulls from time tracking. The full back office runs from one system.
Yes — each as a distinct scope template with its own material stack, productivity rate, and waste factor. Switch systems on a scope mid-bid and the numbers re-run.
Captured as scope variant. Each carries its own productivity default. The texture spec is visible on the foreman's install plan so the wall comes out matching what was sold.
Both. Integral color tracks as a finish-coat material variant. Paint-applied scope tracks as a separate scope row with its own labor and material.
Yes — paper by SF, lath by SF, casing beads and weep screeds by LF, control joints by LF. The lath crew can be scheduled independently from the plaster crew.
Yes — repair scopes track as separate line items with allowances for demo, sheathing replacement, and patching. T&M change orders track separately from the base contract.
First-class output. SOV traces back to the scope rows you bid. Retainage tracks per draw. Stored material covers staged lath, base coat sacks, color packs.
Yes — daily log captures temp and humidity. Cure-status fields tie back to which coat was applied when, so disputes about wet-on-dry coat timing have an auditable record.
Book a 30-minute call. Bring a stucco bid — ideally one with a texture spec and a control-joint layout. We'll walk through the takeoff, the system buildup, and what the pay app looks like.
