Description

The Construction Cost Estimator application allows you to generate project estimates directly on-site and conveniently send a PDF to your client or print a physical copy. Additionally, within the app, you have the option to purchase three distinct Craftsman Costbooks that offer detailed, localized cost analyses for thousands of frequently used construction materials in both the United States and Canada. You can create a personalized costbook by saving frequently employed prices for easy access. The platform enables the customization of various report formats tailored for your clients and internal team members, allowing you to include your company logo and contact details on each document. This functionality ensures that you present precise cost information in a polished and professional format. Furthermore, you can easily customize multiple types of PDF reports to distribute to customers, subcontractors, and your staff. The application also supports international currencies and measurement units, making it versatile for global use. This comprehensive tool enhances the efficiency of cost estimation in construction projects.

Description

InstaBid serves as a web-based platform for estimating and finalizing jobs, specifically tailored for residential contractors and specialized trades. Users can generate customizable, detailed estimates based on information provided through an online form, allowing them to assess material and labor expenses, tweak their pricing and markup, and choose the optimal time to present their bid to clients. The process extends from obtaining proposal and contract approvals to collecting deposits via Stripe and scheduling on a calendar. Additional features include the ability to handle signed change orders, follow up with customers, gather bids from subcontractors, and create branded estimate PDFs for contractors. With its comprehensive approach, InstaBid aims to streamline both estimating and client engagement tasks into a singular workflow, enabling smaller contracting companies to effectively oversee a project from its initial concept to an accepted proposal and scheduled commencement date. This integration of tools and processes allows contractors to focus more on their work while reducing administrative burdens.
