Frequently asked questions
ScopeKit handles variations, contra charges, applications for payment, and CIS for housebuilder subcontractors, and subbies can submit priced applications from their mobile. It also adds estimating from a price book, full CDM compliance, and a customer portal for non-housebuilder work.
No. If you work across housebuilding and other sectors, ScopeKit covers both. If you exclusively work for housebuilders and need the deepest possible specialisation in that workflow, Site Manager Pro may be a better fit.
