For Remodeling Contractors
The Remodeler's Estimating Engine
A custom estimating system built on your pricing and your assemblies, so every kitchen, bath, and addition gets a professional, consistent estimate in a fraction of the time. You own it outright.
Free 30-minute assessment. No pitch, no obligation.

When a homeowner asks for a number, how do you put it together?
You know exactly how the estimate goes.
No two kitchens, baths, or additions are the same, so you rebuild the estimate from scratch every single time.
By the time your estimate is ready, the homeowner already signed with the contractor who got back to them first.
Your proposal is a spreadsheet or a generic template that looks small next to the polished one the competition handed over.
A scope change turns into an argument because nothing was documented and the numbers were never locked down.
You price it by feel and find out whether you actually made money after the job is already done.
What slow, inconsistent estimating costs you.
Jobs lost to whoever bids first
In remodeling the fast, professional estimate wins. Every day your estimate sits half-finished is a job signing with someone else.
Margin bled off by guesswork
Inconsistent estimates mean you underbid without knowing it. A few points of margin on every job is the difference between a good year and a flat one.
Your nights at the kitchen table
Typing up proposals after the kids are down is not running a business. It is doing a job your system should be doing for you.
An estimating system built around how you bid remodels.
Built on your assemblies and your pricing
Kitchens, baths, additions, whole-home. Your line items, your markup, your scope language. The estimate is right because it is built on your numbers, not a generic database.
Walkthrough to professional estimate, fast
Turn a job walk into a formatted, branded proposal in a fraction of the time it takes you now, while the homeowner is still deciding.
Homeowner-ready proposals that win
Clean, professional, and consistent every time, so you look like the obvious choice instead of the cheapest quote on a notepad.
Change orders handled and documented
Scope changes get priced and recorded in the system, so the conversation is about the work, not about what was or was not agreed to.
Margin built in and visible up front
See your margin on every estimate before it goes out, not after the job is finished.
Syncs with QuickBooks, and you own it
Approved estimates flow into QuickBooks. The code is yours outright. No per-user fees, no annual lock-in.
Own it once instead of renting it forever.
Rented software
$99 to $300 per user every month, forever. Generic estimating that does not know remodeling or your pricing, and you rebuild your numbers in their system anyway.
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.
We build systems contractors actually run on.

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 job walks into clean, professional estimates 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 kitchen-table proposals to a system you own.

We build your engine
In about two weeks we build your estimating system on your own pricing and assemblies, tuned to how you actually bid remodels.
You own it and send estimates fast
Estimates that used to eat your evenings go out in a fraction of the time, consistent and professional. You own the system outright.
Questions before you book
How is this different from Buildertrend, Houzz Pro, or JobTread?+
Those are rented all-in-one platforms with per-user fees and a generic estimating module that does not know remodeling or your pricing. This is a custom estimating system built on your assemblies and your numbers, for remodelers, that you own outright. No per-user fees, no lock-in.
Do I really own it?+
Yes. The code is yours. You can 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. No surprise fees, and you know the number before you commit to anything.
What happens to my QuickBooks?+
Nothing changes. Approved estimates sync to QuickBooks automatically. We add to your stack, we do not replace your accounting.
What if my pricing changes?+
You control it. We build the system so you can update your rates, assemblies, and markup yourself, anytime. It is your pricing, not a database we lock you out of.
Is this only for kitchens and baths?+
No. We build it around whatever you remodel, kitchens, baths, additions, whole-home renovations, so every type of job you bid is in the system.
Results vary by business. Time savings are projections based on typical remodeling workflows and the information provided during the assessment. Buildertrend, Houzz Pro, JobTread, and QuickBooks are trademarks of their respective owners.
