The Henderson-based vendor sells the software as a standalone desktop application that runs native on a modern Mac or Windows computer.\n\n## What TradeTek 4.0 Adds for Estimators\n\nThe release adds AI automation to the takeoff process. Estimators can use AI to Auto Scale pages in a new job before starting takeoff, and Auto Count selects a reference symbol while TradeTek automates the Count takeoff. A single job property change can affect many assemblies during takeoff, and SubTotals in a master report can flow through Global properties to other reports. Pages can be hyperlinked to each other or from an Assembly property to external disk files or URLs.\n\nTradeTek with Cloud adds a Shared Job Cache that the company said dramatically reduces navigation time when jobs are stored on a NAS drive or cloud storage service. TradeTek manages the cache automatically as users add, modify or delete jobs, and job properties such as Customer, Estimator, Saleperson, Location or Quote Number can be included so estimators, managers or sales people can filter and locate jobs. Individual estimators use a Local Job Cache to boost performance, locate jobs and integrate external USB drives into the TradeTek environment.\n\nThe Dirt Work Bundle adds an Assembly, Reports and takeoff features to create existing and proposed Contour maps, calculating Cut, Fill, Balance and other earth work quantities. Large jobs can be broken into multiple Existing and Proposed page pairs during takeoff, and the finished maps and reports are stitched together into a consolidated job. A TradeTek subscription starts at $99 per month with annual subscription price discounts and trade-specific bundles of pre-configured trade assemblies, lists and reports. The company offers a live Zoom demo with an experienced estimator.\n\n## TradeTek's Earlier Releases and Partner Integrations\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), TradeTek Software released TradeTek 3.2 in February 2026, expanding AI capabilities with multiple ChatGPT and Groq AI model integrations alongside split takeoff, custom decimal scale, conditional logic for job and folder properties, and Panel Auto Layout enhancements. The same records show TradeTek 2.0 launched in January 2025 with TradeTek Cloud, a hybrid cloud and local architecture with admin user controls, and TradeTek Shared, a single-user multi-computer sync. The TradeTek Store launched in November 2023 with the first three trade bundles for Framing, Concrete and Interiors as lifetime-licensed add-ons, later expanded to Siding, Millworks, Roofing, Flooring and Masonry bundles covering eight construction trades. TradeTek Software has partnered with Epicor Software Corp., Lumbermens Merchandising Corporation and Procore, according to the same records.\n\n## Other Construction Software Launches in October 2026\n\nJobNimbus launched JobNimbus Enterprise on October 15, 2026, a tier for multi-location roofing operators with account hierarchy, roll-up reporting, AI-enabled analytics, and integrated digital payments and homeowner financing, [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/949316784/jobnimbus-launches-enterprise-solutions-for-multi-location-roofing-operators) reported.
