📞 Overheard on a STACK Call

After showing a contractor how to seamlessly move between takeoffs and estimates in STACK:

"The biggest part of my job is constantly looking back and forth between multiple screens, plugging numbers into Excel, adding them up, and doing it all over again. It takes forever. With this, it's automatically adding everything for me. I don't have to put it into Excel anymore. Just the takeoffs alone are already saving me a full day."

A full day.

Not a shortcut. Not a hack. A whole day back every week to bid more work, build stronger estimates, and focus on what actually moves the business forward.

Still living in spreadsheet purgatory? 😅 Come see what all the hype is about.

We're proud to see our CEO, Viyas Sundaram, featured in Forbes discussing how AI is transforming construction long before crews arrive on-site.

As Viyas points out:
"The reality is that time and revenue losses begin before the shovel even hits the ground. Manual methods or outdated, desktop software to keep track of important documents, generate estimates, and takeoffs isn’t functional."

Construction has embraced precision on the jobsite through advanced equipment, automation, and physical AI. But preconstruction has often been left behind—relying on disconnected processes, manual takeoffs, and outdated tools.

At STACK, we believe digital workflows should deliver the same level of speed, accuracy, and confidence that contractors expect from the field. That's why we're investing in AI-powered solutions that help contractors reduce risk, improve estimating accuracy, and bid more profitable work.

Estimators have enough on their plate without chasing product specs, requesting pricing, and updating spreadsheets.

That's why we're excited to announce a new integration between STACK and LED Lighting Supply!

Electrical contractors, GCs, and project teams can now access LED Lighting Supply's catalog directly within STACK—bringing real products, real pricing, and up-to-date data into the estimating workflow.

"Estimators shouldn’t have to jump between a supplier’s website and their takeoff tool every time they need a product number or a price. This integration with LED Lighting Supply puts that data exactly where estimators are already working. It’s one less context switch, one fewer source of error, and a faster path to a complete, accurate bid.”
— Ben Coffman, STACK's VP of Product & Engineering

The goal is simple: reduce manual work, eliminate unnecessary context switching, and help contractors build more accurate bids faster. This is just the beginning of our vision to connect estimators directly with the supplier data they need—without leaving STACK.

"You don't get faster by rushing. You get faster by standardizing" - Garrett Hume, STACK Senior Industry Consultant

STACK already gives you the tools to do this. The key is actually using them.

STACK has a number of built-in estimating features that can dramatically speed up your workflow, but many of them go underutilized. Learn about five features Garrett recommends to contractors who want to move faster without sacrificing accuracy.

From the Desk of Garrett Hume, STACK Senior Industry Consultant:

After years as an estimator and project manager, I've learned that the biggest bottleneck isn't a lack of information, it's repetitive work. That's why I regularly recommend these five underused STACK features to contractors looking to estimate faster without sacrificing accuracy.

1. Save 30–60 Minutes on Every Takeoff: Use the Takeoff Library with project templates
2. Eliminate Inconsistent Pricing Across Bids: Use cost templates in the Estimate worksheet
3. Stop Fighting Your Estimate View: Use saved views in the Estimate worksheet
4. Organize Scope For Faster Bid Reviews: Use tags and labels to structure your estimate
5. Assemblies For Every Estimate?: Use items-only takeoff for speed and simplicity

The data center boom is demanding more from builders. But the industry is still leaning on pencil and paper to get it done.

Our CEO Viyas Sundaram wrote about exactly this tension in Construction Dive today – why skilled construction workers resist AI-powered tools, what it costs them, and why their jobsite expertise actually makes them the best people to use those tools.

His take on where the trade is headed might surprise you ⤵️.

Overheard on a STACK call 👀

"I’m super excited for us to migrate. We’ve got a lot of complaints about our current software. I’m actually looking forward to spending my weekend playing around in STACK."

Read that again.

Nobody says they're excited to spend their weekend learning estimating software... unless the old tool was really that painful. 😅

When contractors switch to STACK, they’re getting a faster, easier way to estimate, bid, and grow.

This is pretty cool 👀

STACK just made Build in Digital’s Top 50 ConTech Partners 2026 list, recognizing some of the best construction tech companies shaping the built environment. 🚧

The industry is changing fast, and we’re lucky to work alongside contractors and teams who are pushing it forward every day.

From preconstruction to operations, the goal has always been simple: help contractors work smarter, move faster, and stay profitable without adding more chaos to the process.

Big shoutout to our customers, partners, and the STACK team for making this happen. We’re just getting started 🙌
