Question 1 of 5

When a GC or owner asks for a number, how do you put it together?

You know exactly how the bid comes together.

Big scope, by hand

Demolition, site prep, dirtwork, and the rebuild all in one bid, and you are pricing it line by line across a stack of spreadsheets.

Inconsistent across estimators

The same scope gets priced differently depending on who built the bid, because the numbers live in their head, not in a system.

One missed quantity hurts

Miss a quantity or misprice a scope on a six-figure job and the margin on the whole project is gone before you break ground.

Slow to get the bid in

By the time your number is ready, a faster GC already has theirs in front of the owner or the GC above you.

Subs and self-perform scattered

Sub quotes in your inbox, self-perform rates in a spreadsheet, and no single place that pulls it all into one bid.

What slow, inconsistent bidding costs you.

Jobs lost to the faster bid

On commercial work the complete, professional number that lands first wins the job. Days spent assembling a bid is work going to someone else.

Margin gone on a pricing miss

On big-dollar demo and rebuild jobs, a single missed scope or quantity does not dent the margin, it erases it. Consistency is the whole game.

Estimator time on bid assembly

Your best estimators stitching together spreadsheets is the most expensive way to build a bid. The system should be assembling it for them.

An estimating system built around the jobs you bid.

  • Built on your pricing and your scopes

    Demolition, site prep, dirtwork, concrete, rebuild. Your assemblies, your sub costs, your self-perform rates. The bid is right because it is built on your numbers.

  • Full-scope bids, assembled fast

    Turn a walkthrough or a plan set into a complete, consistent bid in a fraction of the time, while the owner or GC is still collecting numbers.

  • Demo, sitework, and rebuild in one place

    The whole job lives in one system instead of a stack of disconnected spreadsheets, so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Subs and self-perform together

    Sub quotes and your self-perform costs roll into one bid, so you see the full picture and the full margin before it goes out.

  • Margin visible up front

    See your margin on every bid before you submit it, not after the job is underway and the budget is already moving.

  • Syncs with QuickBooks, and you own it

    Won bids flow into QuickBooks. The code is yours outright. No per-seat fees, no enterprise contract, no lock-in.

Own it once instead of renting it forever.

Enterprise software

Per-seat fees or a heavy annual contract, forever, for a generic estimating platform that does not know your scopes, your subs, or your self-perform rates.

The Estimating Engine

$5,000 once, built on your numbers, owned outright. Host it yourself for under $100 a month, or we host and maintain it for $150 to $200 a month. Your call.

The rent never stops. The build does. And at the end of it you own an asset, not a cancelled subscription.

The Commercial Estimating Engine

Everything you need to turn a plan set into a complete, consistent bid, built on your numbers and owned by you.

  • Custom estimating system built on your assemblies and scopes$25,000
  • Your assemblies, sub costs, and self-perform rates loaded in for you$2,500
  • Professional, bid-ready proposal output$1,500
  • Demolition, sitework, and rebuild priced in one system$1,200
  • Live margin visible on every bid before it goes out$1,000
  • Two-way QuickBooks sync$1,500

Total value: $32,700

Your price: $5,000 flat

Built in about two weeks.

And you own the code outright. No per-seat fees, no enterprise contract, no lock-in, ever.

Why only $5,000? We have built these systems before, so we are fast, and we would rather earn the long-term relationship than nickel-and-dime you on the build.

Then it is yours: self-host for under $100 a month, or we host and maintain it for $150 to $200 a month.

Our guarantee

It works, or we keep building until it does.

We are not going to take your money and disappear. We do not consider the build done until your Estimating Engine is turning plan sets and scopes into complete, consistent bids fast, the way we showed you on the call. If it is not there, we keep building at no extra cost until it is. You will never be stuck having paid for software that does not do the job.

We only take on 4 new builds a month. Every Engine is built custom on your numbers, so we cap it to keep the work right. When this month is full, the next opening is the following month.

From a stack of spreadsheets to a system you own.

Questions before you book

How is this different from Procore, Sage Estimating, or B2W?+

Those are enterprise platforms with per-seat fees or large annual contracts and a generic estimating module. This is a custom estimating system built on your pricing and your demo, sitework, and rebuild scopes, that you own outright. No per-seat fees, no enterprise lock-in.

Do I really own it?+

Yes. The code is yours. You host it yourself for under $100 a month, or we host and maintain it for $150 to $200 a month. Either way it is your system, and no vendor can raise your price or hold your data.

Flat $5,000, that is the whole build?+

Yes. Five thousand dollars flat to build your estimating engine, typically in about two weeks. After that you either self-host it or we host and support it monthly. You know the number before you commit to anything.

Does it handle demolition, sitework, and the rebuild together?+

Yes. We build it around the full scope of the work you bid, demo, site prep, dirtwork, and rebuild, so the whole job is priced in one system instead of a stack of spreadsheets.

What about subcontractors and self-perform?+

Both. Sub quotes and your self-perform costs roll into one bid so you see the full number and the full margin before it goes out.

What happens to my QuickBooks?+

Nothing changes. Won bids sync to QuickBooks automatically. We add to your stack, we do not replace your accounting.
