Sales & Estimating
Win more jobs, with better margins
Quote faster than the builder down the road, and know the margin before you sign, not after.
How each of these worksLead pipeline
Every enquiry in one list, from first call to signed contract.
Estimating
Sections, assemblies and line items that read the way you price.
On-screen takeoff
Set the scale on your PDF plans, then trace walls, floors and openings and count fixtures. Every quantity follows.
Cost catalog
Your prices, not a national database that went stale years ago.
Proposals & e-signature
The client signs on their phone. It becomes a contract.
Web-to-lead forms
A form on your own site that lands as a lead, not another email.
Running the Job
Know what’s happening without driving to site
The field fills it in from a phone, in a driveway, with no signal. You read it with coffee.
How each of these worksDaily logs, offline
Fills in with no bars. Syncs when the truck hits town.
Site photos
Tied to the day and the job, not lost in a group chat.
Schedule & milestones
What is next, what is late, and who is holding it up.
Documents & versions
Revision C is the one everybody opens.
Custom forms
Safety inspections and QA checklists, built for gloves.
Insurance compliance
An expiring certificate is flagged before the sub shows up.
The Money
See your profit before the job ends, not after
Budget, commitments and bills in one place, so a job going sideways shows up in week three.
How each of these worksLive budget variance
Estimated against actual, by category, as costs land.
Purchase orders
What is ordered, what arrived, what is still owed.
Supplier bills
Matched to the PO. An over-billed invoice cannot be approved.
Change orders
Priced, signed, and added to the contract sum automatically.
Progress invoicing
Percentage complete, stored materials, holdback held back.
Your Client’s Experience
The thing that gets you referred
Clients do not rate you on your framing. They rate you on whether they knew what was happening.
How each of these worksClient portal
A private link. No password for them to lose.
Photo gallery
They watch it go up instead of phoning to ask.
Selections
Tile, fixtures and finishes chosen and approved in writing.
Messaging
One thread, kept with the job, not buried in texts.
Online payment
They pay the invoice from the same link.
Client financing link
Link clients to your own lender from an invoice or proposal. You choose the lender.

Ontario construction adjudications last year came under one heading in the Act: payment under the contract, including for a change order, approved or not. Extras are the single biggest thing builders end up fighting about.
Price the extra on your phone in front of the opened wall, send it, and the client signs it there. Approve it and the contract value moves with it, so the job total is never a guess.

Ontario Dispute Adjudication for Construction Contracts, 2025 Annual Report, Table 6 (opens in a new tab) $157,791 median claim
The middle residential adjudication claim in Ontario. That is not a tower going sideways. That is a kitchen, a basement and an addition, and one side kept better records than the other.
Be the side with the records. Daily logs and photos tied to the day and the job, filled in from a driveway with no signal, and sent when the truck hits town.

Canadian construction companies with fewer than a hundred people. That is 99 percent of the industry, and it is who the software in this category is not built for.
Built for a crew of three to twenty-five, priced flat, and set up in an afternoon. Email us and someone who knows Ridgepole inside out answers.
Ridgepole does not fix an industry. It keeps the record that decides which side of these numbers you land on.
Why builders choose Ridgepole
What you can count on, whichever plan you pick.
Direct support
Direct support from someone who knows Ridgepole inside out. No ticket queue, no chatbot, no script.
Your data stays yours
Export everything, projects, costs, photos, documents, at any time, in formats you can actually open. Cancel and you keep access through the period you have paid for. No contract, no lock-in, and nothing held hostage to make leaving hard.
No AI on your data
Your job costs, client details and financials are never fed to an AI model, ours or anyone else’s, for training or for features. That is a deliberate choice, not something we have not got around to yet.
Built in Canada
Provincial tax, lien holdbacks, and provincial board clearances, because software built for Texas gets all of that wrong and calls it a feature request.
One price for the whole crew. $99 a month, and nobody you add costs extra.
