CHIPTRIM FOR PROFESSIONALS: SMALL SHOPS, GCs, AND TRIM CREWS

In the world of finish carpentry, you don’t get paid to do math—you get paid to hang wood. Yet, every year, small shops and independent crews lose thousands of dollars to "The Trim Gap": the space between the material you bought and the material you actually needed.

Legacy takeoff software can cost $2,000/year + monthly add ons or subscriptions, and can takes weeks to learn. CHIPTRIM is different. It’s a professional-grade "digital jig" designed to protect your margins, boost your profits, and get you off the job site faster.

STOP PAYING FOR OVERHEAD, START USING A TOOL

Most software companies want a seat at your table every month. We don't. We believe a pro-grade tool is an investment, not a recurring headache.

• No Subscriptions: Buy a single run $8.99 when you need it, or a 12-month pass $89.99 (see FAQ for details) for the price of a high-end miter blade.

• Zero Learning Curve: If you can measure an opening, you can use CHIPTRIM.

• Portable Logic: Runs on your phone, tablet, or laptop. From the tailgate to the office, the math stays consistent.

HOW CHIP PROTECTS YOUR BOTTOM LINE

1. Bid Tighter, Win More Jobs

Stop adding a "fear factor" percentage to your quotes. CHIP gives you the exact material count + tiered buffer, and yield summaries you need to bid with confidence. When you know your costs to the inch, you can narrow your margins without worry.

2. Eliminate the "One Stick" Run

There is nothing more expensive than a 2-hour round trip to the lumber yard for one missing stick of Poplar. CHIP’s optimization engine accounts for saw blade thickness (kerf) and material yield, ensuring your first order is your only order.

3. Protect Your Reputation 

A delayed job because of a "short order" looks unprofessional. CHIPTRIM provides a clean Opening Schedule and Material Report you can show your clients or GCs. It proves you have a system in place and that their project is being managed with precision.

THE COST OF THE OLD WAYS

BUILT FOR THE TRADES

• Trim Crews: Hand the Cut Plan to your lead cutter. No more "eyeballing" the yield; just follow the map.

• General Contractors: Use CHIP to verify your sub’s material requests. Catch the "misses" before the lumber truck arrives.

• Small Shops: Use the Opening Schedule to track your custom runs and ensure every piece of stain-grade material is accounted for.
