Why ECHOPS
Layout drawings with cabinet codes like B24 and SB36, DXF export, a shower designer, AI design images from a room photo, and takeoffs from plans that go into the quote. Contractor Foreman lists PDF markup and measuring; its Takeoffs page says takeoffs are “currently in development.”
One ECHOPS quote can carry options and a payment plan, and you see when the client opens it before they sign online. We didn’t find quote options or open tracking on Contractor Foreman’s pages.
Phone & texts gives you a business number with calls and texts: $79/mo on Solo and Crew, included in Company. Contractor Foreman lets you call or email from the app and sends text reminders; we didn’t find a business phone number.
Subs and crews see their scope, change orders and payments, with materials listed without prices, in English or Spanish. Contractor Foreman has a client portal; we didn’t find a crew or subcontractor portal.
Leads arrive from website forms, Google Ads lead forms, CallRail and forwarded marketplace emails from Angi, Houzz or Thumbtack, and clients can book on your online booking page. Contractor Foreman lists a website form and Angi leads.
Video meetings with AI minutes are built in, and ECHO, the AI teammate, answers from your own records and asks before it changes anything. We didn’t find either on Contractor Foreman’s pages.
Which fits
