See it in under a minute. Sketch to paid.

A frameless shower door, tapped through on a phone: the real app, a made-up client, the app’s own math.

  1. The sizes. A panel typed at 30-1/8″ × 76″ and a door; the panel’s bottom measured 30-1/4″, typed with Only this side.
  2. The prices. Glass by the square foot, hinges, a pull and the install, from the price book. The quantities come off the sketch.
  3. The estimate. Markup, labor and New Jersey sales tax: $2,242.33. The client signs on the phone.
  4. Paid. A 50% deposit invoiced and paid by Zelle, recorded in two taps.

What we doPlan it. Price it. Build it.

From “how much do I need?” to “paid in full.”

StudSheet turns a job into numbers you can trust: what to buy, which tools, the steps in order, and what the code asks for in your state. Contractors run the whole job from it, from the takeoff to the last invoice; homeowners use the same Sheets for free.

One page. The whole job.

Answer the few questions that change the answer. You get a Sheet: the drawing, every material counted with the math shown, the tools to own, buy or rent, the order of work, the mistakes that ruin the job, and a stamp that says DIY or pro.

No step-by-step wiring or gas instructions, and no invented structural sizing: beams, headers and cantilevers are the engineer’s call.

Sheet A-3 · For prosPro: 14 days free, no card

Run the job from the same page.

Make your contractor account and the Sheet becomes the start of the paperwork: its counts fill the estimate, the estimate becomes the invoices, and the job goes on the crew’s schedule.

  • Estimates

    Filled from the Sheet’s own counts, your price book and templates for your trade.

  • Invoices and e-signatures

    Clients approve estimates and change orders on a link, with their signature. Deposit, progress and final invoices.

  • Crew logins

    Your crew gets their own sign-in: their jobs, clock in and out, photos back to you to approve. Never your prices.

  • Schedule

    Who’s where, by day or week, by person or by job. Double bookings are flagged.

  • Service plans

    Recurring visits, checklists filled on the phone, QR labels on the equipment.

  • Stock

    What’s in the van and the shop, every move in and out, and a reorder list.

  • Lead board

OPENING NOW The connection is switched on and we’re finishing the last checks with each AI app. Want to be one of the first? Write to support@studsheet.com. The calculators already work in ChatGPT and Claude without an account.

  • “New job for Dana, repaint a 14×12 bedroom, draft the estimate at my prices”

    Adds the client and the job, works out the paint Sheet, and drafts the estimate from your price book. You review it and send it from StudSheet.

  • “What’s unpaid this month?”

    Every open invoice with what’s left to collect, what’s overdue and who owes it.

  • “Put Mike on the Miller job Thursday”

    On the schedule and on the job’s crew, with a heads-up if he’s already booked that day.

  • “Add these receipt lines to the deck job”

    Paste or read out a receipt and it lands in the job’s cost.

New and nextWhat changed this month

Tools that protect your price. A place for the whole trade.

New for contractors this month: twice the Sheets, bigger jobs, a sketch with your own prices for anything no Sheet covers, and messages from your clients. Also new: a board where contractors, crews and workers find each other, starting in New Jersey and Staten Island.

New

  • Estimates that hold up

    “Included” and “Not included” lists for each trade, signed by the client with the price, and a valid-until date after which the link asks for an updated price. One tap re-prices and resends.

  • Your client’s job page

    One link per job, no app for the homeowner: progress updates with photos, change orders with photos, what’s been paid and what’s next, the estimate to sign and invoices to pay.

  • Sign and pay on the phone

    A QR code on the printed estimate, the deposit by card straight into your own Stripe account, and your logo on every document.

  • Faster Sheets for pros

    Answers grouped so a Sheet opens on the sizes, trade wording in Pro mode, the materials price as you type, and your usual choices saved once.

  • Send to the yard

    The job’s materials go to your supply house as a quote request, grouped the way they pick it. QuickBooks Online export for your invoices.

  • Your AI, on your jobs

    “Ask your AI” on every Sheet, and ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini connected to your account can change a Sheet on a job or explain its permits and inspections. How it works.

  • 45 Sheets, bigger jobs

    22 new: backsplash, shower tile, trim, doors, inside and steel stairs, siding, gutters, pavers and more. Rooms up to 200 ft, taller walls, houses up to 3 stories, basements drawn room by room. See the list.

  • Sketch and price

    For work no Sheet covers: sketch it with every size on it, then add your prices. Each price line takes its quantity off the sketch, repeated for every floor, and the price follows as you type a size. Save your price sheet and start the next job from it.

  • Messages from your client

    Your client writes to you from their job page, no app needed. You get an email and the message in the job folder; forward it to the crew in one tap.

  • Jobs & crew board

    Need two helpers tomorrow at 7? Post it with the pay shown; workers who are free tap “I’m interested”. Free cards for workers, in English and Spanish. How the board works.

Sheet A-8 · QuestionsStraight answers

Questions.

Is StudSheet free?

For homeowners, yes, always: Sheets, jobs, the shopping list and build mode. For contractors, StudSheet Pro is free for 14 days with no card, then $49 a month at the founding price. Cancel any time; your jobs stay to open, print and export.

Do I need an account?

Not as a homeowner: Sheets, jobs, lists and the Tool Shed are saved on your device. Contractors make an account with their email (a 6-digit code, no password) so jobs sync between phone and computer and clients can sign and pay on their link.

When is it on iPhone and Android?

The apps are waiting for App Store and Google Play approval. Until then StudSheet runs in any browser at app.studsheet.com, and you can add it to your home screen.

Does it work in Canada?

Yes. Set your province for the National Building Code, the CEC and provincial notes, and pick metric if you like. US prices aren’t shown in Canada.

Where do the numbers come from?

Each Sheet’s math runs on your device and shows its work under “How we got this”, with the code section or manufacturer guide it relies on. Anything that isn’t a published rule is marked typical. Code notes are a starting point: confirm with your building department.

Will it tell me how to wire a panel?

No. For homeowners, electrical, gas, plumbing and HVAC systems, additions and load-bearing walls go to a page on what’s involved and how to get quotes. Pros get quantities, costs, permits and inspection checklists, never step-by-step wiring or gas instructions.

Where do quote requests go?

Only to pros registered and verified in the app, up to 3 local pros per request. Pros see the job and the area; your contact goes only to a pro who responds. If no pros cover your area yet, the app says so and keeps your request open for 30 days.
