For home builders
Where the estimate earns its fee.
Home builders need numbers that suppliers can quote and homeowners can understand. We measure plans at any stage of completion, produce supplier-ready material lists, and build budgets that show allowances clearly, so the conversation with the client starts with a figure that holds.
Budgets that drift after contract
Allowances scheduled openly, not buried in a square-foot rate.
Waiting on supplier takeoffs
Your own lumber and material lists, ready to send to multiple yards.
Pricing every plan revision
Revisions measured as deltas so you can show the client what changed.
What you receive
Everything you need to bid. Nothing you have to redo.
Every estimate ships as the same four-part package, on the first job and the fiftieth.

FAQ
Questions from home builders.
Talk to an estimator
Not a salesperson. Same-day answers on working days.
+1 518 974 7222[email protected]Can you estimate from preliminary plans?
Yes. We price what is drawn and list the assumptions, then update the budget as the plans develop.
Do you handle production home plans?
Yes. Each plan and elevation is measured once, with options priced as add or deduct.
Can you produce a client-ready budget?
Yes. You get a detailed workbook for your team and a clean summary for the homeowner.
Can you use our cost book and labor rates?
Yes, and we prefer it. Your historical costs reflect your crews and your suppliers better than any published average. Send the template and we work inside it.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is per project and quoted before any work starts — no retainer, no minimum volume and no subscription.
