Scout Out

Scout Out helps clients hire the right builder by turning building plans into fast, comparable bids. Today, every contractor who wants to bid on a project has to independently estimate material and labor quantities. That makes bidding slow, expensive, and inconsistent — and homeowners often end up comparing apples to oranges. Scout Out automates this step. We use computer vision trained on building plans to generate standardized material and labor takeoffs once, in-house. We then share those takeoffs with vetted contractors, so everyone is bidding on the same scope. The result: homeowners get more bids, faster turnaround, and clearer pricing — without asking each contractor to redo the same estimation work. We’re starting in Los Angeles, helping homeowners rebuild after the Palisades and Eaton fires.
