Consistent margins

Your markup logic runs automatically on estimates and change orders — no matter who builds it.

Faster proposals

Templates eliminate formatting, cleanup, and last-minute fixes before proposals go out.

Scalable standards

Your pricing and processes stay consistent as your team grows, without extra oversight.

"Once you get the AI trained to your preferred formats, it makes things much easier than having to manually input all information individually."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

Where does your cost data come from?
Our rates come from the supplier relationships we have formed to integrate with their catalogs. In addition, we track labor rates across the country to make sure we're staying up to date with the fluctuations. Our costs update on a daily basis for every single city in the US.
Can your pricing be localized to my area?
