STACK entered the market to revolutionize the pre-construction phase, moving estimators away from manual scales and desktop-bound software. Their journey started with a cloud-first takeoff tool that allowed teams to collaborate on digital blueprints from anywhere, ensuring that every bid is based on accurate, real-time measurements.

The STACK narrative is about speed and "winning more work." By automating the takeoff process and integrating it with cost estimating data, they allow contractors to bid faster and more competitively. Their story is one of digital transformation in the estimating department, proving that the cloud is the future of pre-construction.

Estimating teams often use STACK to prepare bids before moving the project into management platforms like Autodesk Construction Cloud or specialized trade tools like STACK.
