How it works

Build the estimate from your own prices, plans and field measurements.

  1. Add job details. Choose a template or enter dimensions, prices, plans, photos, and measurements.

  2. Build the proposal. Use template prices and reviewed takeoff quantities in the proposal.

  3. Check and send. Check quantities, price, scope, and recipient before sharing the proposal.

  4. Keep the signed proposal handy. Keep the signed proposal, selections, estimate, and budget history with the project.

Start estimates from work you repeat

Reuse line items, quote lines, Schedule steps, and tasks for common job types. Save a finished project as a starting point for similar work.

Check every quantity, scope, and price before you send a proposal. Reviewed takeoffs and your cost codes give each estimate a clear starting point.

Willow Creek example

For a Willow Creek kitchen remodel, start with the Kitchen Remodel template. Check each line against measurements, selections, and existing conditions before sharing the estimate.
