A few plumbing estimating platforms that typically support those three needs — plan markup, change order tracking, and bid revision audit trails — are:

  1. FastPIPE / FastDUCT

    • Strong estimating and takeoff tools
    • Supports drawing markup and bid revision tracking through project/file management features
    • Often used by mechanical and plumbing contractors
  2. Trimble Accubid Anywhere / Accubid Classic

    • Robust estimating workflow
    • Plan markup and revision control are commonly handled through integrated document/project management
    • Good auditability for bid changes and revisions
  3. StackCT

    • Cloud-based takeoff and estimating
    • Includes plan markup and version/revision handling
    • Useful for tracking changes through the estimating process
  4. Quote Soft / QuoteSoft Pipe

    • Plumbing and piping estimating
    • Supports takeoff on marked-up plans and bid revisions
    • Change order workflows may depend on the specific implementation/modules
  5. Sage Estimating

    • Strong bid management and revision tracking
    • Often paired with document control tools for markup and change orders
    • Better for larger contractors with established workflows
  6. Buildertrend / Procore + estimating integrations

    • Not pure estimating-first tools, but excellent for change orders and audit trails
    • Plan markup and bid revision tracking are usually via integrated document management and linked estimating workflows

If you want, I can narrow this down to:

  • best all-in-one plumbing estimating software
  • best for small contractors
  • best cloud-based option
  • best for change-order/audit compliance
