The Wisconsin market at a glance

Work in Wisconsin is driven by older-home renovation, lake property work and agricultural and industrial building. Licensing runs through Dwelling Contractor qualification and certification through the Department of Safety and Professional Services, and approvals go through municipal building inspectors under the state uniform dwelling code. WinkScope does not file permits or licences for you, but it keeps the scope, revisions, approvals and photo record that those conversations depend on in one job file.

What WinkScope costs in Wisconsin

Starter $29.99/mo, Pro $79.99/mo, Agency $199/mo and Enterprise $799/mo, each with a 15-day free trial and no card required to start. Plans are billed in USD worldwide, and you can invoice your own clients in your local currency.

Quoting the way Wisconsin prices work

Quotes are issued in USD with sales tax handled on the document and measurements in feet, square feet and yards. Your price book holds what you actually pay at Menards, Home Depot, Lowe's and Ferguson, and live vendor search checks current pricing before a number goes out. Markup, margin and section totals are editable, so the client sees the presentation you want and you keep the maths behind it.

Scheduling around Wisconsin weather

Severe winter cold, lake-effect snow and a compressed summer construction peak decides when exterior work actually happens across the state. The WinkScope schedule shows a live weather overlay on the calendar and Gantt, so a washed-out day is moved once and every dependent task, crew and client reminder moves with it.

Getting paid in Wisconsin

Turn an accepted estimate into an invoice, take card payment through Stripe, bill deposits, milestones or progress claims, and raise change orders that carry their own approval and their own billing. Invoices, payments and change orders all post back to the project, so the financial picture for a Wisconsin job is one screen, not three spreadsheets.

On site across the state

Field crews use the phone apps for job details, checklists, photos, GPS-stamped time entries and client signatures. Subcontractors get work orders with scope and checklists; clients get a portal showing approvals, documents and progress. Nothing has to be re-typed when the crew gets back from a Wisconsin job.
