Scaffolding Estimating Software
KaamCam is the management software for scaffolding contractors quoting new work. Price the erect and dismantle, the number of lifts and bays, and the expected hire duration in one quote, get it signed, and hold the site to the rental period you agreed.
You price the erect and the dismantle, quote a lump sum, and never nail down how long the hire runs. Then the site keeps the scaffold up for three months on a quote that assumed six weeks. Because the rental duration was never written into the estimate, you eat the difference. The margin on a scaffold job lives in the hire period, and a vague quote gives it away.
Features
- Price by lifts and bays - Enter the number of lifts, bays, and the working height, and build the erect and dismantle labour off those counts. A four-lift access tower and a full building wrap each price from their own real numbers, not a guess.
- Hire duration in the quote - Write the agreed hire period and the weekly rate straight into the estimate, with the extended rate for weeks beyond it. The customer signs knowing what an overrun costs, so a three-month job never gets billed as six weeks.
- Site survey photos - Photograph the elevation, the ground conditions, and the access restrictions during the survey and drop them into the quote. When you price a tricky gantry or a cantilever over a pavement, the photo justifies the higher labour figure.
- Signed off before the crew rolls - The site manager signs the quote on your phone, terms and hire period included. No scaffold goes up on a verbal, and the signed rates are locked before the truck loads out.
How it works
- Survey and price on site - Standing at the elevation, enter the lifts, bays, and height, add your survey photos, and set the erect, dismantle, and weekly hire figures. The full quote is built before you leave the kerb.
- Site manager signs the terms - Hand over the phone, they read the hire period and the extended weekly rate, and sign. The agreed duration is now on record, so an overrun bills at the rate they already accepted.
- Turn it into the job and hire clock - One tap converts the signed quote into the live job with the erect labour, the weekly hire, and the transport already set. When the crew logs the erect, the rental billing you quoted starts running.
FAQ
What does the estimating side cost?
It is $12 per user per month, flat, with estimating built in alongside the hire billing. E-signature, survey photos, and converting a signed quote into a live job with the rental clock set are all in that price. There is a 7-day free trial and no card is needed to start.
Can I quote off lift and bay counts?
Yes. Enter the number of lifts, the bays, and the working height, and build your erect and dismantle labour from those figures. A birdcage inside a warehouse and a scaffold up a five-storey elevation get priced from their own counts rather than one flat guess.
How do I stop a job running over the quoted hire period?
Write the agreed hire period and an extended weekly rate straight into the estimate before it is signed. When the site keeps the scaffold up past that date, the extra weeks bill at the rate the customer already accepted. The overrun stops being an argument and becomes a line on the invoice.
Can I include transport and off-hire in the quote?
Yes. Add haulage to site, the return collection, and any craneage as their own lines alongside the erect, dismantle, and hire. The main contractor sees the full cost of getting the scaffold there, standing, and gone, with nothing hidden that turns into a fight later.
Does a signed quote start the job automatically?
One tap turns the signed estimate into the live job with the erect labour, the weekly hire, and the transport already loaded. When the crew logs the erect on site, the rental billing you quoted starts running against the account, so nothing gets re-entered in the office.
