What is CoastaMeasure PRO?
CoastaMeasure PRO is an early-access LiDAR measuring and estimating workflow from Coastal Solutions Media for painting, drywall, trim, ceiling, and related home-service contractors. It is designed to turn a room scan on a supported Apple device into organized measurements, a documented scope, and an estimate that a professional reviews before it is sent.
The product exists because most estimating time is lost between the site visit and the quote: measurements written on paper, re-typed into a spreadsheet, priced from memory, and emailed without a record in the CRM. CoastaMeasure PRO keeps those steps in one sequence, from scan to scope to estimate to CoastaFlow.
How does LiDAR room capture work on supported Apple devices?
Supported LiDAR-equipped Apple devices, such as certain iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models, measure depth by timing reflected light. Apple’s RoomPlan framework combines that depth data with the camera to detect walls, doors, windows, and openings and build a 3D room model. CoastaMeasure PRO uses that capture as the starting point for measurements.
Scan quality depends on the room and the device. Mirrors, glass, dark or reflective surfaces, heavy clutter, poor lighting, and unusual architecture can all affect what the scan captures. That is why CoastaMeasure PRO is built around review: the estimator checks the captured walls, ceilings, and openings, marks excluded surfaces, and adjusts measurements manually before any pricing is applied.
Device support follows Apple’s hardware and software requirements for LiDAR and RoomPlan, and compatible hardware may be required for early access. CoastaMeasure PRO supports professional judgment; it does not guarantee measurement accuracy.
How does CoastaMeasure PRO connect to CoastaFlow?
CoastaMeasure PRO is designed to send the finished project into CoastaFlow, the CRM and automation system from Coastal Solutions Media. The intended workflow creates or updates the customer contact, opens or updates the sales opportunity, attaches measurements and scope details, and starts the follow-up that keeps the estimate from going quiet after it is sent.
Because the estimate lives on the same record as the calls, texts, and emails, an owner can see which quotes are waiting, which customers asked for revisions, and which jobs closed, without asking the estimator to reconstruct it from memory.
Who is CoastaMeasure PRO for?
CoastaMeasure PRO is being developed for painting contractors, drywall teams, trim and ceiling specialists, estimators, and owners who measure interiors on site and want a faster, more consistent path from the walkthrough to a reviewed estimate. It fits best when the business already uses, or plans to use, CoastaFlow for follow-up.
- Painting contractors pricing walls, ceilings, trim, and doors room by room
- Drywall teams scoping hang, finish, and repair work
- Estimators who want measurements, scope, and rates in one place
- Owners who want every estimate tied to a CRM record and a follow-up plan
CoastaMeasure PRO vs Tape Measure and Spreadsheet vs a Standalone Measuring App
A tape measure still works, and many measuring apps are available today. The difference is what happens after the measurement: how scope and rates are applied, and whether the estimate stays connected to the customer record.
| Attribute | Tape measure and spreadsheet | CoastaMeasure PRO with CoastaFlow | Standalone measuring app |
|---|---|---|---|
| How rooms are measured | By hand, wall by wall | LiDAR room scan, then professional review and adjustment | Varies by app; often LiDAR or camera-based |
| Hardware | A tape or laser measure | A supported LiDAR-equipped Apple device | Depends on the app |
| Scope and pricing | Built manually in a spreadsheet or template | Scopes and company rates applied after capture | Often measurement only; pricing happens elsewhere |
| Customer record and follow-up | Separate from the CRM unless re-entered | Designed to sync contact, opportunity, and follow-up in CoastaFlow | Usually exported or emailed; CRM link varies |
| Review step | Relies on the estimator double-checking | Built-in review of measurements and excluded surfaces | Varies by app |
| Availability | Available now | Early access | Many options available now |

How We Measure Results
Estimate-to-close
How many sent estimates become booked jobs, and how long that takes, measured in the CoastaFlow pipeline.
Revisions per estimate
How often an estimate is revised before acceptance, and why, so scope and rate settings can be improved.
Measurement adjustments
Where estimators correct captured measurements during review, which shows which room types need extra attention on site.
Follow-up completion
Whether every open estimate received its planned follow-up, instead of waiting on someone to remember.
Service Area: Lowcountry and Nationwide
Coastal Solutions Media is based in Hardeeville, SC. CoastaMeasure PRO is software, so early-access requests from contractors outside the Lowcountry are reviewed case by case, and onboarding and CoastaFlow setup are handled remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions About CoastaMeasure PRO
Is CoastaMeasure PRO available now?
CoastaMeasure PRO is in early access. Contractors can request access through our team, and features, device support, and availability may change as the product develops. Early access is not a general release.
Which devices does CoastaMeasure PRO work with?
Room scanning relies on supported LiDAR-equipped Apple devices that can run Apple RoomPlan, such as certain iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models. Compatible hardware may be required, and we confirm device fit with each early-access team.
Does CoastaMeasure PRO replace a professional estimate review?
No. Captured room data, measurements, scope selections, rates, and estimates must be reviewed by a qualified professional before pricing, contracting, ordering materials, or beginning work.
Does CoastaMeasure PRO guarantee measurement accuracy?
No. Scan results depend on the device, the room, lighting, and reflective or cluttered surfaces. The workflow is built so estimators can review, exclude, and manually adjust captured measurements, and it supports professional judgment rather than replacing it.
Can we use our own labor, material, and production rates?
Yes, that is the intent. CoastaMeasure PRO is designed to apply company-specific labor, material, and production rates after scopes are selected, so estimates reflect how your business prices work rather than a generic formula.
Can captured measurements be edited?
Yes. Estimators can review captured walls, ceilings, trim, and openings, mark surfaces that should be excluded, and adjust measurements manually before the estimate is built.
How do we request early access?
Contact Coastal Solutions Media and tell us about your trade, team size, devices, and current estimating process. We will walk through the workflow, how it connects to CoastaFlow, and whether early access is a fit right now.
CoastaMeasure PRO is in early access. Compatible Apple hardware with LiDAR capabilities may be required. Room scans and measurements must be reviewed by a qualified professional. The application supports professional judgment and does not guarantee measurement accuracy.
