P2P Estimating vs Planning Ops

P2P Estimating is web-based construction estimating software for subcontractors. It turns uploaded blueprints into takeoffs priced against a user’s labor and material rates. Blueprint files can be PDFs, images, or CAD files such as DWG and DXF, including multi-sheet sets. The software supports 28 trades and identifies scope, then measures counts, lengths, and areas using trade-specific takeoff logic. The generated estimate is a draft for review before bidding. Users can upload a blueprint and create a free shareable link without logging in, but an AI takeoff requires a free account. The Free plan includes 5,000 coins on signup, described as enough for a first takeoff, plus estimate saving and re-pricing and AI estimating chat. Paid plans start at $99 a month. The pricing page estimates an estimate uses roughly $25–$75 of credit depending on plan size; editing or re-pricing a saved estimate adds no credit cost. Plans are month-to-month and can be changed or canceled at any time. Failed estimates do not consume credit, and the upload flow says blueprints are not shared.

Planning Ops is an operations app for concrete subcontractors, combining pour scheduling, crew planning, project schedules, and daily reports. Place & Finish provides a drag-and-drop pour board with live project weather, conflict alerts, automatic quantity totals, and one-click notifications. Manpower includes a 52-week crew board, timeline and job views, roster and PTO tracking, projections, time and certification tracking, and payroll export presets for ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, Gusto, Paylocity, Sage, Vista, and Foundation, plus Excel and Universal CSV. Daily Reports creates signed, numbered field reports with safety details, delays, and photos; submitted hours go to time tracking. Users can confirm, reschedule, or cancel pours and notify project, crew, ready-mix, pump, and subcontractor contacts. The platform costs $149 a month, billed monthly or annually, with three working seats included and extra seats at $20/mo. It has an iPhone and iPad app requiring iOS 15.0 or later. There is no Android app, though the workspace can be accessed in a browser on Android and desktop. Customer data is isolated using Postgres row-level security. The maker lists Charleston, South Carolina as its location.
