Pick your lane

  1. 01 · Owner-operator

    You bid at night and lay pavers by day.

    • Takeoffs from one outline, waste included
    • A proposal the customer can say yes to
    • Orders built straight from the estimate
  2. 02 · Running crews

    Two crews, a yard, and a phone that won’t stop.

    • Every crew on every job, day by day
    • Deliveries received against the PO, with photos
    • Change orders before the extra work, not after
  3. 03 · Working for GCs

    Submittals, and a GC who wants it their way.

    • Submittal packages from the estimate Beta
    • A setup call for your catalog, suppliers and first estimate
    • More of the GC’s paperwork as it ships

    Early release: works, still being proven on real jobs; tell us what breaks.

  4. 04 · Doing both

    Homeowner patios Monday. A GC’s plaza Thursday.

    One plan covers the whole company. Homeowner proposals and GC paperwork come off the same job record — so pick the plan for the heaviest work you do, and everyone uses it.

A-101Where the margin goes

The gaps between the office and the yard

Most jobs don’t lose money on the bid.They lose it in the gaps.

Between the takeoff and the order. Between the truck and the site. Between what the customer asked for and what got written down. Screed closes those gaps by keeping the whole job in one record.

  1. Retyped

    The takeoff lives in one spreadsheet. The order gets retyped into an email. A 6 becomes a 9.

    Screed: Purchase orders build straight from the estimate — one per supplier, the job site as ship-to. Nobody types a quantity twice. · Starter

  2. Shorted

    The yard shorts you two layers and nobody notices until the crew is standing around at ten.

    Screed: Receive each delivery against its PO from your phone, with photos. Whatever is still owed stays on the job until it shows up. · Pro

  3. Whiteboard

    The schedule is a whiteboard photo in a group text, and it was wrong by Wednesday.

    Screed: The Board puts every crew on every job, day by day. Move a crew, split a day, and everyone is looking at the same week. · Pro

  4. Unpapered

    The homeowner added a seat wall on Tuesday. The paperwork never heard about it.

    Screed: Award the contract with its schedule of values, then write change orders against it — so extra work is priced and in writing before it’s built. · Pro

A-201One job, one record

How a job moves through Screed

From the first measurement to the last pallet — without starting over at every step.

  1. 01 · Estimate

    Take it off once.

    Draw the areas and pick products from the catalog. Base, bedding sand, joint sand, edge restraint and pavers are all sized from the same outline, waste included. Send a clean proposal PDF — options the customer didn’t pick stay off it.

    Starter

  2. 02 · Procure

    Order from the estimate.

    The estimate becomes purchase orders, one per supplier, with your company as buyer and the job site as ship-to. Your prices and suppliers stay private to your company.

    Starter

  3. 03 · Board

    Put crews on it.

    Schedule every crew across every job, day by day. Split a day, join back-to-back blocks, and log the day’s crew, hours and standby.

    Pro

  4. 04 · Produce

    Track what went in the ground.

    Receive deliveries against the PO, log installed quantities area by area, and see them against the estimate while the job is still running.

    Pro

  5. 05 · Record

    Know what it really took.

    Contracts, change orders, deliveries and installed quantities all sit on the same job — so before the next bid you can see where this one went over.

    Pro

↺ The point of one record: when you bid the next job, what the last one actually took is right there — not buried in last year’s texts.

A-301Field capture

No app for the crew to install

Your crews already text. Now it lands on the job.

Invite a crew lead to a job’s Slack channel, or to its WhatsApp line once Screed switches WhatsApp on for your company. Updates and photos they send the way they already do get filed to that job — so the office sees the day without calling anyone.

  • Texts and photosfiled to the right job, not lost in a group chat
  • Receiving on the phonecount what came off the truck, attach the ticket photo
  • Daily logscrew, hours and standby days, recorded against the Board

A-401Screed and your AI

Hand the paperwork to your assistant

Tell your AI what the job is. It builds the estimate in Screed.

Screed speaks MCP, the open standard AI assistants like Claude use to work inside other software. Connect one with a key you create, and it can search the catalog, start an estimate, add areas and products, read the crew board, and import your old customer and project lists.

Know where the line is

Screed keeps the job. Your money tools move the money.

Screed is where the job lives — what was bid, ordered, delivered, installed and changed. It hands clean records to the tools that pay bills and keep books, instead of pretending to be them.

Leaving Procore?

You don’t need a Procore seat to run your own jobs. When a GC runs their project in Procore, keep doing their paperwork in their account — and run everything else in Screed. Screed vs Procore

Screed creates the purchase orders. It doesn’t approve bills, match invoices, pay suppliers or keep a ledger — that’s what your bill-pay system and QuickBooks are for.

A-701Questions

Before you sign up

Straight answers.

Is there a free trial?
No. Starter is $80 a month for your whole company, month to month, and you can cancel from Settings → Billing whenever you want. We’d rather charge a fair price than run a trial clock on you.
Who is Screed for?
Paver and hardscape subcontractors — from the owner-operator who estimates at night to the company running several crews for general contractors. Residential or commercial: if you install pavers and the base under them, it was built for your work.
How many people can use it?
Everyone in your company. Every plan covers your whole team — estimators, foremen, office — with no per-seat fees.
Does my crew need to download an app?
No. Screed runs in the browser on any phone. On Pro, crew leads can also send updates and photos through Slack, or through WhatsApp once Screed switches it on for your company.
Are my prices private?
Yes. Your suppliers, your price lists and what you pay stay inside your company. Other Screed customers never see them.
Does Screed replace QuickBooks?
No. QuickBooks keeps your books, and your bill-pay or accounting system handles invoices, approvals and payments. Screed creates the purchase orders, keeps the job record, and on Pro keeps suppliers and cost codes in step with QuickBooks.
I’m on spreadsheets (or Procore). How do I move?
Start your next job in Screed and bring your catalog prices and suppliers as you go. Customer, project and item lists can be imported through the API — or hand the spreadsheet to an AI assistant connected over MCP and let it do the import. Commercial includes a setup call.
