AI estimating that prices the way you price
An AI number you can’t check is a guess. Partner drafts an itemized estimate from a description, a photo or the drawings, prices it from your own catalog, markups and overhead, and shows its work — so what you send is the price you would have written yourself, in a fraction of the evening.
Estimates that price the way you price
A priced, itemized estimate in minutes — using your rates, not a generic markup.
Build line by line from your own catalog, or let the AI draft the whole thing from a description. Either way the numbers run through your configured markups, your waste factors and your operating overhead, so what comes out is the price you would have written yourself. Every total recomputes to the cent as you edit.
- Line items by trade, with cost and price tracked separately
- Your markups and waste factors applied automatically
- Good / better / best tiers and optional add-ons the client picks
- Paste a list of lines straight in from a spreadsheet
- A minimum-margin floor that blocks approval on a losing estimate
Skipper — photo and chat to estimate
Describe the job, or send a photo, and get a priced draft back.
Skipper is the estimating assistant: talk to it the way you would talk to a lead carpenter, or send a picture of what you are looking at. It drafts from your catalog and your rates, and it asks rather than assumes when the scope is genuinely ambiguous.
- Photo, chat or dictated description as the input
- Prices from your catalog and configured rates
- Knows construction materials and freight lane rates
- Every draft lands as an editable estimate, never an auto-send
Blueprint takeoff
Drop in the plans and get a scoped, priced starting point.
A multi-phase agent reads the drawing set: a vision pass plans the scope, then per-trade estimators work each CSI division. It comes back as line items you edit, not a black-box number — and it tells you what it could not read rather than filling the gap with a guess.
- Vision planner followed by per-scope estimators
- Quantities carried into a real, editable estimate
- Says plainly what it could not read on the sheet
- Works from a photo of a plan as well as a PDF
How it runs on a job
- 1
Describe it, photograph it, or upload the plans
Talk it through the way you would with a lead carpenter, send a photo of what you’re looking at, or drop in the drawing set.
- 2
Get line items, not a lump sum
The draft comes back as editable lines by trade, priced from your catalog and rates, with materials linked to a real product page — and it says plainly what it couldn’t read.
- 3
Check it against the market
Every estimate can carry a price check: the going range for the job in your area, with its sources.

Send it when you’re happy
Nothing goes to a client until you send it. A minimum-margin floor stops a losing price from going out by accident.
Questions contractors ask
Will it use my prices or generic ones?
Yours. Drafts are priced from your catalog, your markups, your waste factors and your overhead method.
Does the same job get the same price twice?
Yes. A new draft for a job that already has an estimate starts from that estimate, so asking again doesn’t produce a different number.
Can it read a drawing set?
Yes — a PDF or a photo of a plan. It plans the scope from the sheets, estimates each trade, and tells you what it could not read instead of guessing.
Does it send anything to my client?
No. Every draft lands as an editable estimate; you review it and send it yourself.
Can I try it without switching software?
Yes. The standalone AI estimate takes a scope and drawings and returns an itemized draft on your letterhead. Preview the structure free; $29 to unlock the numbers.
