Construction estimates in minutes, with the firm's own line items and prices.
The starting point
Every estimate was made by redoing the last one. Open the one for a similar job, delete what didn't apply, adjust what did, and check three times that nothing from the old one was left.
The quantities and prices were in the firm's history, which is where they belonged. The problem was that this history lived in people's heads and in loose spreadsheets, and every estimate started with hunting for it.
What we built
- An estimator you talk to, running on the firm's own server.
- You describe the job in plain language and it proposes chapters, sub-chapters and line items with their quantities.
- It calculates the base cost (PEM), overhead, industrial profit, VAT and the contract total (PEC).
- The price per square meter for each quality range comes from the firm's history, not from a generic price database.
- You correct it by talking: "drop this line item", "raise the bathroom spec".
- It exports to PDF with the firm's logo and terms.

Recreation: the real data never leaves the client.
What changes
The estimate comes out of a conversation, not from redoing the last one. The hours that went into that go back to the project.
The prices are the firm's own, with its judgment, not a generic database's that then has to be corrected line by line.
The PDF comes out ready to send to the client.
If you're curious about the technical side
How it works inside
It runs on the firm's own server. The prices and the history never leave it.
When it proposes a line item, it does so because it's in the firm's history, and it can say where it got it. If it isn't there, it says so instead of making up a price.
No personal data is involved: it's construction quantities and prices.
